Yes, I confess, but I really did kill a man
Father, I tried, but they wasn't at my hand
Father, hey, I confess for doin' it
I had a brain (Yes) but life had to ruin it (Gone)
Screw in it (Thoughts) twisted, infected (Killed)
Dissected (Spit) don't respect it (Fun)
When you put me in a cage full of animals
Beast, savages (Killers) and cold-blooded cannibals (Monsters)
I can't help but become what's around me (The claw)
Tried to run but they found me, surround me (You're dead)
Then they choke ya (Squeeze) and provoke ya (Punch)
Try to smoke ya (Squeeze), turn ya to a joker (Eat)
I try to rip it off (Wait), but it's all I know (It's)
The only thing I ever knew (Me), so what to do?
Look at you (Devil), a bigot 'til you're growin' old (Evil)
You're growin' mold with a soul that's freezin' cold (So?)
So I confess (Yes), but even if I'm all wrong
I'll be down with the clown 'til I'm dead and gone
Yes, I confess, but I really did kill a man
Father, I tried, but they wasn't at my hand
Yes, I confess, but I really did kill a man
Father, I tried, but they wasn't at my hand
Look, I confess, this bitch had a purse (Old)
So I took it (Snatch), I took it home
Opened it up and shook it (Look), she had papers (Comes)
Lipstick and nail polish (Shit), credit cards
And about twenty-seven dollars (Change)
I bought a fifth (Then), drank it and laid there (Stoned)
It seemed like I could see the purse everywhere (Boo)
On a light post (Look), by this mailbox (Look)
I tried to run from it (Where?), I ran a couple blocks (Look)
But there it was on the sidewalk waitin' for me (Shit)
Tryin' to lure me to it (Stop), I had to fuckin' do it (No)
I picked it up (And) and stuck my fuckin' hand in it (No)
It was full of rats (Ah) and they fuckin' bit it off (Why?)
Father, I confess, I'm a criminal (A thief)
But my world's too subliminal around me (Everywhere)
Look at them (Look), all the wicked masses (Everybody)
That's why I'm down with the clown 'til I'm ashes
Yes, I confess, but I really did kill a man
Father, I tried, but they wasn't at my hand
Yes, I confess, but I really did kill a man
Father, I tried, but they wasn't at my hand
Like a circus, a wicked carnival
Everybody's got a ticket, they're lookin'
For the freaks to point and gawk at
Look at yourself, the joke's on you, jack
Southwest down, clown love with a street gang (Ooh)
And I'ma represent this 'til my brains hang (Ooh)
Father, I confess, I'm the first to admit it
But if you burn my city down, I'm goin' out with it
My mother is a park (Mama), my father's a street sign (Ghetto)
And they brought me up fine, I respect mine (I'm like them)
I've become what's all around me
I confess, I'm down with the clown
Yes, I confess, but I really did kill a
Man (I'm down with the clown for life)
Father, I tried, but they wasn't at my hand (Why you wanna do that?)
Yes, I confess, but I really did kill a
Man (I'm down with the clown for life)
Father, I tried, but they wasn't at
My hand (You can't make me do that)
Yes, I confess, but I really did kill a
Man (I'm down with the clown for life)
Father, I tried, but they wasn't at my hand (Why you wanna do that?)
