[Intro:]
Look up to ya!
"This here is the story of an unfortunate piece of sh**
By the name of Shugston Brooks
Born 1959, died 2004
Over some bullsh** he heard from a friend"
[Verse 1:]
I've lived the good life, though I've beat my wife for years
She don't listen to the man, I simply bring her to tears
See I believe in keeping order, in front of my daughters
And their little brother, sh** I put the boots to they mother
After I calm down, I might apologize
Put some ice on her eyes and we think up some lies
To tell the rest, cover up the bruise on her breast
Then she do me up a plate of hot food on my chest, yes
Often my drinkin', leads me to overthinkin'
Screaming in her face, breath liquorly stinkin'
This time though, I beat her a** something ferocious
A friend told me something left me feeling explosive
He said he thought he'd seen her at Bennigan's with another
She cried, "I told you three times, I had lunch with my brother!"
I wasn't sure, plus I'm buzzing, so I dealt a skull fracture
And for the first time she called the police, I got captured!
[Interlude:]
"I don't believe it, she actually called the cops
I got booked, sentenced, all of that
After fifteen years of our love, she called 'em
She's going down for this, she's going down hard!"
[Verse 2:]
A thirty day bid ruined my life up in the pen'
I got fired, plus I have to face my family and friends
Where to begin, I met a thug in jail named Ben
And for just under a grand, he put a gun in my hand
Thunk up a plan, she will definitely die for doin' this
My whole family betrayed me, how could they ruin this?
I can't live with the shame, all the pain of 'how could he?'
I'm thinking murder suicide, take us both out bloody
They freed me and I fleed for her job up town
Tried to shoot through the gla**, they seen me and screamed "Get down!"
She got away but I tried, now it's time for me to end
Ran about a block, co*ked it, put it under my chin
I sqozed it, neck frozen, stiff, click, damn!
My nine gun, brand new but the sh** got jammed
Pandemonium, desperate sweat sting in my eyes
All because I heard somebody singing me lies, I said I...
[Interlude:]
I heard it from a friend...
"Damn, I wish I never heard that man
I tried to k** her and then I tried to k** myself
I failed at both!
Now I'm stuck out here on the streets with this gun
People tripping out, I'm tripping out"
[Verse 3:]
There's a mad gunman in the city, big news spreads quick
People step aside, they see it in my eyeballs, I'm sick
I heard a cops' radio, spun around to react
Looking at him like, "I'll blow your f**ing guts out your back, Jack!
Back off me!" Set down his coffee with ease
And slowly pulled his weapon out and calmly asked me to freeze
We stand off, I back around the corner, I'm bookin'
Within seconds the perimeter heated up and it's cookin'
I'm not an athlete, on top of that I got bad feet
So I snatched up a hostage in a sitting mad suite
Kissed her soft young face, pressed the gat to her cheek
Whispered in her ear, "I'm sorry dear, I'm having a bad week!"
Forty-five long minutes pa**ed, nerves was tweakin'
The negotiator pleaded, no I wasn't speakin'
They finally ordered the marksman, carry through with the solution
It all started with some verbal pollution, because I...
[Bridge:]
Heard it from a friend who-o-o
Heard it from a friend who-o-o
Heard it from another he'd been messing around
(A friend told me something left me feeling explosive)
[4x]
[Bridge Interlude:]
Don't always believe what you hear
People love to tell you bad news
They love it!
[Outro:]

*Talking, indistinct*
