Death of a Carjacka Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm keepin' a cool head, smart and calculated
Tell the skinheads what I said and they hate it
One dumb move they make a mistake, a turnover
And it's over
Shoulda thought silly rabbit, those habits a-getcha
Runnin whitcha life
So what some sucker snuck inside a knife
But I'm checkin' it out back from afar you know
Theyll never know I'm backin' up and jettin' to my car

[Verse 2]
Before they steal it, watch me ride an wheel it
Ooh child, here it comes now (I can feel it)
Inspiration from the situation
Flowing to what I know an...

[Verse 3]
This ain't nothin' but another headline statistic
Two brothers, but one went ballistic
Now I'm chillin' beside my ride, pulled over the side
Five-O ran a check, now how the hell am I suspect?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
