Dead Man Walking - Jon Bellion

You know, maybe I’m drunk, maybe I’m not

Maybe this happened, maybe it didn’t

Call my doctor, call my lawyer

Call my brother, call my priest

There’s paperwork to fill out

'Cause a dead man walks the streets

'Cause my sister has a best friend

That I’ve known since I was three

And now I’m gon' get strangled

'Cause we tangled in the sheets

My homies like, «Dead man, dead man walking»

My homies like, «You a dead man, dead man walking»

Yeah, uh, come on

Beautiful family friend is she

Almost a decade older than me

And I’ve been gone for quite a while overseas, yeah

And she’s been living up in Albany, yeah yeah

Then I had two shows I played upstate

She came to show love and see my face

Then we got drinks and we chilled like, «Hey»

And then from there it was, you know, what I’m saying

Call my doctor, call my lawyer

Call my brother, call my priest

There’s paperwork to fill out

'Cause a dead man walks the streets

'Cause my sister has a best friend

That I’ve known since I was three

And now I’m gon' get strangled

'Cause we tangled in the sheets

My homies like, «Dead man, dead man walking»

My homies like, «You a dead man, dead man walking»

My homies like, «Dead man, dead man walking»

My homies like, «You a dead man, dead man walking»

Now she’s like, «Damn, how did we let this happen?

Damn, how did we end up in this bed?»

Then I said, «Relax» and laughed like

«This would be a pretty dope song.»

She’s like, «No, I swear to God I’ll kill you

No, I really will just take your life

No, don’t even think about it

But that would be a pretty dope song»

So I came home and I called my friends

Then we got smacked and I wrote this jam

I know for a fact that we going…

It’s over, my life is deadass over

Call my doctor, call my lawyer

Call my brother, call my priest

There’s paperwork to fill out

'Cause a dead man walks the streets

'Cause my sister has a best friend

That I’ve known since I was three

And now I’m gon' get strangled

'Cause we tangled in the sheets

My homies like, «Dead man, dead man walking»

My homies like, «You a dead man, dead man walking»

Yeah yeah, my homies like, «Dead man, dead man walking»

My homies like, «You a dead man, dead man walking»

The funny part about this entire thing

You know, like doing the one-take, write it quick, fun jokes?

But my sister won’t hear this until I release the album

She’ll hear every other song except this one

So, surprise
