Em             D           G
Bobby's got a gun that he keeps beneath his
 A   Em D G A
pillow
Em            D          G          A  Em D G A
Out on the street your chances are zero
Em                       D
Take a look around you (Come on now)
G                   A
It ain't too complicated
                    Em D G    A    Em D G A
You're messin' with Murder Incorporated

Now you check over your shoulder everywhere
that you go
Walkin' down the street there's eyes in
every shadow
You better take a look around you (Come on now)
That equipment you got's so outdated
You can't compete with Murder Incorporated
Everywhere you look now, Murder Incorporated (Oh)

        Bm                        D
So you keep a little secret down deep inside
your dresser drawer
     Bm                                   D
For dealing with the heat you're feelin' down
on the killin' floor
    Bm                                    D
No matter where you step you feel you're never
out of danger
        C                              Bm
So the comfort that you keep's a gold-plated,
snub-nose thrity-two,

You got a job downtown, man that leaves your
head cold (Oh yeah)
Everywhere you look life ain't got no soul (Oh yeah)
That apartment you live in feels like it's just
a place to hide
When you're walkin' down the street you won't
meet no one eye to eye
Now the cops reported you as just another homicide

I can tell that you was just frustrated
From livin' with Murder Incorporated
Murder Incorporated
Everywhere you look now, Murder Incorporated
(Come on now now baby)
Murder Incorporated
Everywhere you turn it's Murder Incorporated
(Now now darlin')
Murder (Ooh huh huh yeah, I said)
Murder (Ooh huh huh yeah)
