Buju Banton - Murderer

  
 
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder  
Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow  
Murder, your inside must be hollow  
How does it feel to take the life of another?
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder  
Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow 
 Murder, your inside must be hollow 
How does it feel to take the life?
You can hide from man but not your conscience  
You eat the bread of sorrow drink the wine of violence  
Allow yourself to be conquered by the serpent  
Why you disobey the first commandment?
Walk through the valley I feel no pestilence  
God is my witness and He ma me evidence  
Lift up mine eyes from whence cometh help  
You coulda never escape this judgement
Murderer, blood is, blood is on your shoulder  
Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow  
Murder, your inside must be hollow 
How does it feel to take the life?
I tell you, all men are created equal  
But behind the trigger it's a different sequel  
Some are murder people just to collect medals  
Stop committing dirty acts for the high officials
You could wash your hands until you can't wash no more  
It is like an epidemic and you won't find a cure  
Upper class you could be rich, middle class wheter you're poor  
Only the righteous won't feel insecure  
Have you ever thought about your skill getting bored
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder  
Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow  
Murder, your inside must be hollow  
How does it feel to take the life?
Drinking sulphur bitters won't bitter like your end 
Only God can help you, no family nor friend  
Don't let the curse be upon your children's children  
Abdenigo, Shadreck, Meshek, Daniel in the Eden
Jonah in the whale's belly, but he was never condemned  
Job with the leprosy, but still reached Heaven  
He will do for you everything he has done for them.
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder  
Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow 
Murder, your inside must be hollow  
How does it feel to take the life?
What's more? You hide from man but not your conscience 
You eat the bread of sorrow drink the wine of violence  
Allow yourself to be conquered by the serpent  
Why you disobey the first commandment?
Walk through the valley I feel no pestilence  
God is my witness and He ma me evidence  
Lift up mine eyes from whence cometh help 
You coulda never escape this judgement
Murderer, blood is on your shoulder 
Kill I today you cannot kill I tomorrow 
Murder, your inside must be hollow 
How does it feel to take the life?
I tell you, all men are created equal  
But behind the trigger it's a different sequel 
Some are murder people just to collect medals 
Stop committing dirty acts for the high officials
You could wash your hands until you can't wash no more  
It is like an epidemic and you won't find a cure
