Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Here we go, yeah
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Hey
I'm the hitman
Stand aside
I'm the hitman
I want your life
Ain't no escaping
Don't run and hide
There goes the neighborhood
I'm gonna kill for your love
That's right
[Verse 3]
Hitman
Now, don't you cry
I'm just it man
You might get fried
Gun in my pocket
Don't get me wrong
I'll be your hitman
I'm a fool for your love
[Verse 4]
I'm a  head shredder
That's better
Baby, baby, baby
I'm a hitman
Hitman, hitman
Yeah
[Verse 5]
Trouble in the east
Trouble in the west
Struggle with the beast
What a thief, what a pest
Come back mother
Nuke that sucker
Yeah, yeah
Yeah
Who knows what I'm talking about
Waste that brother
All right
Oh
That's the way to do it
Ah ha
[Verse 6]
I'm the hitman
I'm your prize
But this hitman
Can cut you down to size
Love me baby
Don't be so cool
Love me, love me baby
I've been to the hitman school
Yeah
Yeah
You're gonna make my day
Gonna blow you away
[Verse 7]
That's when the fun begins
Hitman
Are you ready for the sting
Gonna waste that thing
Hitman
Hitman is king
