Lyrics Jon Bellion – Dead Man Walking
Text:
You know, maybe I’m drunk
Maybe I’m not
Maybe this happened, maybe this didn’t
Hook 1:
Call my brother, call my priest
There’s paperwork to fill out
Cause a dead man walks the streets
Cause my sister has a best friend
That’s I’ve known since I was three
And now I’m gon’ get strangled
Cause we tangled in the sheets
Hook 2:
My homies like «dead man, dead man walking»
My homies like «you a dead man, dead man walking»
Verse 1:
Beautiful family friend is she
Almost a decade older than me
And I’ve been gone for quite a while overseas, yeah…
And she’s been living up in Albany
Then I had two shows I played up state
She came to show love and see my face
Then we got drinks and we chilled like «hey»
Hook 1
Hook 2
Verse 2:
Now she’s like «Damn!
How did we let this happen, damn!
How did we end up in this bed then?»
I said «relax» and laughed like
She’s like «no, I swear to God I’ll kill you
No, I really will just take your life
No, don’t even think about it
But that would be a pretty dope song.»
So I came home and I called my friends
Then we got smacked and I wrote this jam
I know for a fact that I’m going hehehehe
It’s over, My life is dead ass over
Hook 1
Hook 1 x2
The funny thing about this entire thing
You know like doing the one-take, write it quick, fun jokes?
But my sister won’t hear this until I release the album
She’ll hear every other song except this one
So surprise
