Genocide - The Iceman Chronicles [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro: News Reporter]
Law enforcement authorities have arrested one of the most notorious contract killers in state history. A self-employed Bergen County man is behind bars charged with five murders, and prosecutors are investigating his involvement in dozens more

[Verse 1: Genocide]
I was born in the state of New Jersey
Never had money and my clothes always dirty
My father was a drunk, every day he would hurt me
Stampede me and my brother with no mercy
At thirteen I was picked on often
The project boys had me walking with caution
I got bullied so much that it scarred me
So one night I waited to ambush Charley
So as he walked up, I hit him in a fit of rage
He never woke up so I didn't hesitate
Took him to the bridge, pushed him in the river
Didn't feel nothing for a cold-hearted killer
This event started a history of violence
I became a hit-man with mafia clients
A cold reputation, killed with no compassion
Show me the money and I make shit happen

[Hook x2]
No heart, no soul, and I'm cold as ice
Anybody want to fight, they will pay the price
You don't want no beef, you don't know my life
I'm an assassin, The Iceman, ready to strike

[Verse 2]
When I was eighteen I had a bad temper
Killed so many I can't even remember
Used to walk around the west side of Manhattan
Anybody set me off and my gun clappin'
Around this period I met the Italian
I went from the street to the Gambino mansion
A contract killer, I started to make dough
The number one enforcer for Roy DeMeo
I knock at your door, better pay your account
Or come for a walk at the Gemini Lounge
(It was a house of horror) That's where you get hit
And your body gets dumped down a bottomless pit
See I like to experiment with all kinds of methods
(Cyanide poison) And various weapons
A Glock in my jacket, a knife in my right hand
Got no remorse you can call me The Iceman

[Hook x2]
No heart, no soul, and I'm cold as ice
Anybody want to fight, they will pay the price
You don't want no beef, you don't know my life
I'm an assassin, The Iceman, ready to strike

[Verse 3]
I'm a vet, you can check on my stats
Never fuck around, I honor my contracts
You can name it, I did it, the most evil acts
Even tie you up in a cave, eaten alive by rats
I remember one time, with a hypodermic needle
Jabbed him in the chest and he died so peaceful
I'm an enemy, live life in apathy
Feel no pity, only care about my family
For over thirty years I was feared and respected
Never on the radar and never detected
In '86 I became to intrepid
Made one mistake and my name was suspected
I was set up by an undercover agent
Caught so brazen, I didn't smell the bacon
My face on the pavement, five men pinned me
The judge said "how do you plead", I said "Guilty!"

[Hook x2]
No heart, no soul, and I'm cold as ice
Anybody want to fight, they will pay the price
You don't want no beef, you don't know my life
I'm an assassin, The Iceman, ready to strike

[Outro: Richard Kuklinsky and Interviewer]
You killed more than 200 people
At one part of my life I killed people for nothing. Just for somebody to look at me wrong I would kill 'em
