[Verse 1]
Miss Jones taught me English
But I think I just shot her son
'Cause he owed me money
With a bullet in the chest you cannot run
Now he's bleeding in a vacant lot
The one in the summer where we used to smoke pot
I guess I didn't mean it
But man, you should've seen it
His flesh explode

[Chorus]
Slow motion, see me let go
(We tend to die young)
Slow motion, see me let go
(What a brother knows)
Slow motion, see me let go

[Verse 2]
Now the cops will get me
But girl, if you would let me
I'll take your pants off
I got a little bit of blow, we could both get off
Later bathing in the afterglow
Two lines of coke I cut with Drano
And her nose starts to bleed
The most beautiful ruby red
[Chorus]
Slow motion, see me let go
(We'll remember these days)
Slow motion, see me let go
(Urban life decays)
Slow motion, see me let go

[Bridge]
My sister's eatin' paint chips again
Maybe that's why she's insane
I close the door to her moaning
And I shoot smack in my veins
Wouldn't you?
See my neighbor's beating his wife
Because he hates his life
There's a knock to his fist as he swings
Oh man, what a beautiful thing
Death slides close to me
Won't grow old to be
A junkie wino creep

[Chorus]
Slow motion, see me let go
(We tend to die young)
Oh, slow motion, see me let go
(What a brother knows)
Ooh yeah
Slow motion, see me let go
See me let go
See me let go, oh-ah
