On the streets of Saint Louis I reign
gangbangers get hit by me everyday
choose wisely, for if you make the decision to fire,
you can't call me back
I cut the air swiftly toward a new target,
screams from parents when I am inside their child's body
I make you want to fight and survive,
but it’s not that easy,
I kill the enemy with cold passion, with no consequences.
I am the bullet
