BRIDGE (2:19)
So you Bmkeep a little secret down Ddeep inside your dresser drawer
BmDealing with the heat just leaves youD down on the killing floor
No Bmmatter where you step you feel you'reD never out of danger
C (') go B7playin' some (') I hear that too
you got
VERSE 3 (2:35)
down down down memories are hurtful (murder...)
Everywhere you look life ain't got no soul (oh yeah)
CHORUS 3 (2:55)
That apartment you live in feels like it's just a place to hide
When you're walking down the street you won't meet no one eye to eye
Now the Emcops will point at you as just aDnother homicide
I could Gtell you was just frustBrated from livin with
Em D G A Em D G A ...
Murder Incorporated
Murder Incorporated everywhere you look now
Murder Incorporated etc.

and was originally planned to be the title track of the
album in making. However, it still remains officially unreleased.
Luckily bootleg versions circulate widely among fans :-)
