Someone's Gettin' Shot

平成15年。
成田空港に捕まえつた時。。。
まあ、若かかったな!
だけお、心と頭が強いから、
毎日、頑張りました。
雨が降って、涙も。。。
直ぐに雪が降りましょうね、
刑務所にはいらなかったら、
やっぱり信じました。。。

Someone's gettin' shot,
It was me that was to be offed...
Not long after I passed through customs with the lot...
A trigger happy southern gun with a black heart on the run,
Had sold off all the bud before my journey had begun,
Or I had even touched down on 日本 fuckin' soil,
To kiss the Buddha's feet,
And meditate with him awhile,
Those were my real intentions,
Not grinding on the streets,
Sure I was just a fuckin' eejit in search of truth you see...
And if truth be told I felt nirvana's grip take hold,
When first I heard it's clicking cuffs closing tight upon the wrists,
Of a misguided youth many said I would slit...
And the mighty bang bang as heaven's steel door slams,
In the face of my betrayers,
Ricocheting bullets sound,
For evermore along the cell blocks of a watchful mind,
Ever mindful of the gun that almost took my life...
And I was once that someone gettin' shot,
Everyday I thank God I'm alive!

Another Mutt followed Jeff to the top of the hill,
Where the windmill turbines spin and spin,
I saw the deceit's cunning in the wink of an eye,
Wonder what it's sussed out,
Bet it's been watching for a while...
Looks like someone's getting shot,
I better tip along...
As I passed em going down I wished 'em both the best of luck,
And warned 'em not to get stuck atop the summit after dark,
For there's been whisperings of a wolf in these south west parts...
And as they went their merry way,
I heard that big dog fucking say...
"Have you seen the white wolf,
No? Why you are the white wolf,
You wolfed up all the white you greedy fuckin' shite."
And that's why someone might be,
Gettin' shot beneath a diamond sky this night...

Oh the troubles people invite their way,
Around the world it's the same,
Some punk feels lucky and brave,
Decides to break bad one day...
Got tired of skulking a line,
So straight it burned up in his mind,
With all the blunts he would blaze,
Every time his stack he raised...
Raising hell just for fun,
You knew it wouldn't be long my son,
Until you're wanted by the cross hair sights,
Of some other gangsters cocky fucking gun...

And if you know that someone's gettin' fuckin shot,
Well then you better back off,
Unless you're already involved,
Then never tell another soul amongst the living and the dead,
Or the Devil... even God,
One will hold that shit against you,
The other blabs it round the world...
And if you ever go down,
And pass my name around,
The boys on any wing will say that 'Jap Import' was sound...
Just another headcase with a suitcase,
Going no place 'cept the studio,
Or perhaps the fucking gym coz he's got a visit at two,
He'll probably finger some moth out of sight of the screw...
Had a burner in his cell,
He was on the other line,
Even had a fuckin' ticket,
But couldn't break out on time,
To see that old Tom cat storm the Rat Cellar,
When through the Glitter and Doom,
He sang into the pen,
Then came a boom boom boom,
Of sketch upon the wall,
"Yeah the screw is on his rounds,
You better end that call..."
And that night I decided,
That the gangsters life it weren't for me.
Oh the troubles people invite their way,
Ah sure I did it myself all the same,
So I only have myself left to blame...

令和3年。
まだ、日本に戻りたいな!
だけど。。。コヴィド19がまだいますから、
とりあえず、全然 帰られません。。。
4月桜が咲いていましょう、
それから夏わ暑くても、
刑務所にはいらなかったら、
やっぱり信じました。。。
