Lyrics

[Intro] La grande faucheuse La grande faucheuse La grande faucheuse La grande faucheuse La grande faucheuse La grande faucheuse Angel of death [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] 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? [Verse 2] He had an empty gaze And his eyes like a bed Took me thoroughly I threw the coat away and just like a fox he said [Chorus 2] 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? [Verse 3] He made his move then I was down on loan 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 [Chorus 2] 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? [Verse 4] Dead man now, once was a friend Ran all the way upstairs just to make my defense (saved me) Threw me in the bath with ice and a slap Can of coke down my throat, almost his whole hand fittin' in (I was dying) [Verse 5] 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 [Chorus 3] 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? [Outro] (Angel of death) (Angel of death) (Angel of death) (Angel of death) (Angel of death) (Angel of death) (Angel of death)
