That's How You Got Killed Before

Who'll put knots on your head for messing with his gal
So take it steady, man, let those women go
Well, I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before

Now, you wouldn't listen, Ephrom, you got two black eyes
That's what you get, Daddy, for messing with men's wives
So take it steady, whoa, let those women go
Well, I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before
