Murdah Loves John

IDRIS (UK)

[Verse 1: Tanika]
Murder knows that you don't need a witness
Murder sees that you're prayin' for forgiveness
Murder's not when you're killin' for your business
Murder's comin' in the middle of the night
This money can't save your life
Yeah, money won't save you tonight
See, murder loves John
See, murder loves John

[Chorus: Tanika]
Run, run, run, John
Run, run, run, John
Murder loves John
Murder loves John

[Verse 2: Wretch 32]
When murder loves you, it'll never let you go
Like a stillborn and it won't never let it grow
Death do us part; I think I'm better on my own
Death's around the corner, I'm forever on my toes
So what's your peace of mind, how do you sleep at night?
Are you killin' time or lettin' time kill your vibe?
Shadowboxin' every morning, I don't need to fight
That's 'cause I'm feelin' spirits every time I see my evil eyes
Been gettin' shivers since a baby, I was gettin' shivers in the '80s
I can't let these shivers turn me crazy
Lookin' out the window, hopin' it can withhold
Petrified that I'll let my sinnin' turn to syndrome
I pray for the day I'll get a full night's sleep
Maybe then that's when I'll find peace
One day, I'm hopin' I can love my dreams
Until then I'll see where life leads

[Chorus: Tanika]
Run, run, run, John
Run, run, run, John
Run, run, run, John
Run, run, run, John

[Verse 3: Tanika]
Death accompanies you on your shoulders
She still loves you even though you're gettin' colder
Can't ever change you, guess somebody should've told her
That murder loves John, ooh baby
Murder loves John, ooh baby

[Outro: Tanika]
Run, run, run, Johnny
Hold your own, Johnny
Hold your own, Johnny
Oh yeah
Murder loves John, murder loves
Run, John, 'cause they're coming for ya
