B. Dolan - Who k**ed Russel Jones? lyrics

Who k**ed Russell Jones ? Why and was the reason known ? "Not us !" Said the members of the Wu-Tang Clan Dirty was our brother; Dirty was our man The Old Dirty ba*tard is just who he was He was a grown man... He never gave a f** It may have been us that gave him that name But the blame ain't ours, he couldn't cope with the fame We've got family of our own we can't afford to fail Didn't have time to go visit in jail So when he looked us in the eye and said "I'm dying" We didn't pay attention, or give it any mind And now, looking back, maybe we should've called But you can't blame us at all Who k**ed Russell Jones ? Why and was the reason known ? "Not us !" Said the managers and record execs Who treated each arrest like nothing but free press Make a million off the mess and cut him another check Everybody slows down to look at a car wreck Anyhow he was worth more alive than dead ! He gave us a great product, and the means to an end Our job was to make him money, it wasn't to make friends Blame society and the environment! Dame Dash signed Dirty the second he was released And maybe that's less time than an ex con needs Maybe he needed peace and to be with his family More than MTV News and Mariah Carey Sure the whole thing may have been premature But you can't blame Dame at all Who k**ed Russell Jones ? Why and was the reason known ? "Not me !" Said the judge Who takes years with his word He was given a fair trial and justice was served Far as I'm concerned he deserved the penalty The law don't change for fame or celebrity Mr. Jones was a drug addict Whose offenses were flagrant Given numerous opportunities for rehabilitation Leaving me no choice but to incarcerate him ! Sad fact is, a lot of addicts don't make it It's all very tragic and I've heard the reasons given Why people like this need treatment and not prison But the task I'm given is to uphold the law And you can't blame me at all Who k**ed Russell Jones ? Why and was the reason known ? "Not us !" Said the owners and promoters of clubs Who drove him to hotels and bought him his d** We do it for everybody and it all seems harmless That's what you call 'Taking care of the Artist !' He made it a job for us Had reason to worry Though we all took pride in our ODB story About the time he was so f**ed up, et cetera We're not babysitters ! Not paid to be therapists ! Had to refund tickets and absorb lost revenue It wasn't just himself he was a detriment to ! We put a body on the stage And bodies in the seats Don't care if he can't rap Don't care if he can't speak ! We've got a contract that reads: "None of it's our fault" So you can't blame us at all Who k**ed Russell Jones ? Why and was the reason known ? "Not me !" Said the fan in his Wu-Tang shirt "I love Big Baby Jesus! Dirt McGirt! The Old Dirty ba*tard! The absolute best! He kept It real! He was a real mess... He came from the Projects and I never been there But I imagine there's a lot of people like him there He represents the wild, savage, black ! The Unchained Natural Talent, rack ! The modern day minstrel act ? It's so sad that he's gone, I wish he were alive ! I played his CD on the day that he died ! I bought an R.I.P. t-shirt from a store window ! Pretty sure the proceeds go to his widow ! He was a real hero, and all heroes fall And I guess you can't blame.. No one at all
