"The Killing of Georgie" - Rod Stewart

Out of a darkened side street came
A New Jersey gang with just one aim
To roll some innocent passer-by
There ensued a fearful fight
Screams rang out in the night
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone
A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He did not intend to take his life
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night
The sight of blood dispersed the gang
A crowd gathered, the police came
An ambulance screamed to a halt on fifty-third and third
Da da da da da da duh
Da da da da da da duh
Da da da da da da duh
Georgie's life ended there.

Keep Ya Head Up (dedicated to her)
Something 2 Die 4 (Interlude)
Thugz Mansion
I Wonder If Heaven Got a Ghetto
White Man's World
N.I.G.G.A. (Never Ignorant, Getting Goals Accomplished)

Janie kills dad in Aerosmith’s Janie’s Got A Gun.

But in this case dad deserved it

What did her daddy do?
It's Janie's last I.O.U
She had to take him down easy and put a bullet in his brain
She said, "'Cause nobody believes me, the man was such a sleaze"
He ain't never gonna be the same
