Killers in These Streets

Steven Bowman 1997 (Voorhees Township, NJ)



Once there was killers in these streets killing,
When they needed to be like this shooting up.
Just they'll see and you'll be the one for death,
Looking for a way to get throughout the ghetto.

Killers in these streets, they need to be killing you,
Just as they wanted to behave without killing souls.
My word, there's nothing you can do just surviving,
Back from the dead, they need the one who do not.

Looking for a way to feast on the blood, so hungry,
Just they wanted to be like this and feast upon you.
Many who survived are the lucky ones and escaped,
My Lord, they need to be feasting upon anyone else.

Anybody knows not to stare at all of those monsters,
My word, they all know about the one of the zombies.
Rolling down your blocks, shouting at everything else,
Lord please do anything to help us from all of the sins.
