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 shoulda seen  it
His  flesh explode
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 (G*)
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
 (no chord)
 A most beautiful ruby red
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
 And at home
My  sister's eating paint  chips again
 Maybe that's  why she's insane
I  shut 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  an arc to his fist as he swings
Oh  man, what a beautiful thing
 And death slides close  to me
 Won't grow old  to be
 (no chord)
 A junkie wino creep
Hollywood glamorized  my wrath
I'm  a young urban psychopath
I  incite murder
For  your entertainment
'Cause  I needed the money
What's  your excuse?
 (no chord)
 The joke's on you
 Final Chorus:
Slow motion  see me let  go
Oh  yeah
Slow motion  see me let  go
I...
Slow motion  see me let  go
 end on D
 that's it, its pretty easy and a great song.
 hope you like it.
