Angel of death

Let me tell you a story 'bout black

The one memory, and the one who threw it right back

He was down so I took a ride

He moved the best way outta there so I took his advice

Oh, two seconds flat

If I’d’ve know he would’ve treated me like that

Whoa, two seconds flat

How was I to know he would done me like that?

He had an empty gaze

And his eyes like a bear

Took me thoroughly

I threw the coat away and just like a fox he said

Oh, who’s lookin' at ya?

Who was a good kid when God was lookin' after ya?

Whoa, who’ll make it through?

How was I to know it would’ve done this to you?

He made his move then I was down all alone

I kept askin' to come up for luck

I would take it and he would turn it in

Wait, let me catch my breath

That’s black if you can catch him with it

I was someone who believed in sin, he said

I think I know just who that is

Oh, who’s lookin' at ya?

Who was a good kid when God was lookin' after ya?

Whoa, who’ll make it through?

How was I to know it would’ve done this to you?

Dead man now, once was a friend

Ran all the way upstairs just to make my defense ()

Threw me in the bath with ice and a slap

Can of coke down my throat, almost his whole hand fittin' in

First I was amused, close to death ever been

When the bright light went away I knew death was settin' in

If I knew I would tell ya

To keep trouble off, I tell ya

You’re the next one to get

Left with the story, that’s when you go mad, that’s black

Oh, who’s not lookin' at ya?

(angel of death)

Who’ll be a good kid now that I’m lookin' after ya?

Whoa, who’ll make it through?

How was I to know black would’ve turned from me to you?
