Puddle Of Blood

Shot rings out in the midday sun

Through the kitchen and past my mum

How can I live this way, how can it be done

Want to live like a man not prey on the run

All for a dollar do I find myself

With my eye on my back, never sleeping well

Looking for a way that will get me out

To a place where I don't have to hide and kill

Ticket comes my way from my uncle Jake

Yeah a one way ticket to the USA

But for a rudy straight from yard they got no work today

My dream it melts away, into a...

Puddle of blood, on the streets of gold

Don't try to buy my soul, it's already sold

I'm looking for a place, I'll never know

I gotta find a way out, out of here

Back on the streets with a glare in my eye

Knowing now that the gold was a lie

Instinct tell me what to do to survive

Rudie to gangsta, I and I

Kill another man for a corner of land

Just to rob another man for the coin in his hand

If mama see me now, she not understand

She just stare at the shadow of an empty man

All I ever wanted was some peace of mind

All I ever got: a shorter place in line

But you'll never know the man behind the life of crime

All you'll ever know is...
