Lyrics
Money
Women
Sex
all your heart's desire.
Power
Respect
Wealth
you best not wear a wire
Mr. Big made all this happen, so you better not betray
Turn the keys to the ignition and you might get blown away.
You like the parties, ladies, and the things so nice.
you had to know there was a price.
Now you're in it for life
with the gun and the knife
a world of violence
a code of silence
You spill the blood on the saint
you cut a deal with your fate
but if you give it up to the feds
then you'll wind up
Dead men tell no tales
about the made men who made them rich
stoolies might stay out of jail
but a snitch ends up in a ditch
Lucre
Hookers
Lust
whatever you may feel
Fortunes
Gambling
You can bet your life
we'll kill ya if ya squeal
Mr. Big made all this happen, so you better not betray
Turn the keys to the ignition and you might get blown away.
You like the parties, ladies, and the things so nice.
you had to know there was a price.
Now you're in it for life
with the gun and the knife
a world of violence
a code of silence
You spill the blood on the saint
you cut a deal with your fate
but if you give it up to the feds
then you'll wind up
Dead men tell no tales
about the made men who made them rich
stoolies might stay out of jail
but a snitch ends up in a ditch
