She's a Salvador immigrant, head through a thin wall
A frail hooker, holding her carnal walls
Gleaming sky scraper bunker he looked down
Laugh hysterically and then he spread aroundOn Hoover Street, then he must be alone
The precious little kid cashed the woes
Salvadorian girl, she kind of made you spill
Her brother Mario got shot 4 times in da headNow see poor Mario, he caught a hot one
Through the lung, now he's done so God bless the man
Cocaine moved through that system, like a river forever winding.

Not encouraging reality or me
He said, "It's who I am baby, back to it."
Off the deep end the record changedYou see, no one stood up and cheered for him
Everyone sat down with something that happened
Began... to happen
It's an old school dorm mystery
And the handcuffs bleed...It's a glass-pipe murder
Glass-pipe murder
Oh yeahGlass-pipe murder
It's a glass-pipe murder
Oh yeah!(Oh yeah!)
(Oh yeah!)
(Oh yeah!)Who was the killer?... it's in the...
