Lyrics
Stack shot Billy in the back
Of the head
Stack made sure Billy Lyons
Was dead
.45 pistol down in Stack's right hand
Sent him away to the promised land

Stack shot Billy .45
Billy laid down and died

Stack Lee had himself an
Evil brain
Loved his gun and his
Sweet cocaine
But Stack got quiet when
Shadows fell
Cause he knew soon enough
He'd burn in hell
