I'm the one who killed Slick Willie I'm here to turn myself in I'm the one and I don't feel guilty If I could then I would do it again
He was a friend of my old man He came by every couple of months or so With a brown paper bag full of bandit cash Have a couple of drinks and he would go
He taught me this old dirty fistfight trick But it only worked about half the time Black and blue I was born into Unorganized crime
I'm the one who killed Slick Willie May he never rest in peace Everyone around Portland knew He was a lowlife to say the least
Some kind of prize fighter back in his day Took his pay and bought the toughest joint in town Where my old man chose to throw his whole life away Chasing cheap cocaine and crazy women around
With Willie, the wire, wearing stepped on coke Selling lunch money, pimp of his time Born into it, I knew that I could do it There'd be too many suspects to solve the crime
But I'm the one who killed Slick Willie I'm here to put this to rest I'm the one and it wasn't easy I ain't afraid to confess
That I kicked his back door down Let myself in, stuck a gun up to the side of his head He turned around so fast, it knocked it out of my hand And for a second there I thought that I was dead
But I know this old dirty fistfight trick and It works about half the time I still can't believe he didn't see it coming But he didn't
