[Verse 1: hollering Atlanta crunk male MC, hollered over the 808s and the sawing cello] I got killed in the canoe, I got killed out on the dock I got killed behind the bleachers at the stroke of twelve o'clock I got killed checkin' fuses, I got killed hollerin' "Who's there?" I got killed inside the shower with the shampoo in my hair Twelve movies, twelve cabins, twelve Octobers in a row I'm the fella with the flashlight sayin' "Y'all stay here, I'll go" And the girl who makes it out, she don't even wave goodbye 'Cause she read the script, she know I'm first in line to die Got my face up on the poster, way down low in the corner Top name on the call sheet, first stop for the coroner [Hook: crunk MC hollering, the 808s slamming] I'll be right back, I'll be right back Said it in the cabin, then they found me in the shack Every sequel, same old line, and every sequel, same attack Hold the lights, I'm goin' down there, I'll be right back [Verse 2: hollered harder, the cello sawing faster] But this year I been studyin', I been takin' notes in red Every rule that ever left me in a closet or a shed He don't run, he only walks, and still he always gets there first He cuts the fuse box, cuts the phone, and then the screamin' gets worse He don't talk and he don't hurry and he never shows his face And he always gets back up, so you don't ever leave the place So I packed a box of fuses and a hammer and a flare And I'm walkin' just like him, I ain't in a hurry anywhere Twelve times I was the warm-up, twelve times I was the snack This time I cut the power first. Hold on, I'll be right back [Hook] I'll be right back, I'll be right back Said it in the cabin, then they found me in the shack Every sequel, same old line, and every sequel, same attack Hold the lights, I'm goin' down there, I'll be right back [Verse 3: chromatic descent, the cello walks down a half step on every stair, his holler drops lower each line] Thirteen stairs down to the basement and the bulb is swingin' bare I ain't hollerin' "Who's there?" 'cause I know exactly who's down there He's behind the water heater, where he always likes to wait That's the spot he got me in the fifth one and the eighth Every step I'm takin' slower, every step I hear him shift For the first time in twelve movies, he's the one who's goin' stiff He don't run, he only walks, but there ain't nowhere left to walk I'm the one between him and the stairs, and I ain't here to talk So I pull the string and kill the bulb and let him feel it like I did Twelve Octobers in the dark, now let me see you where you hid [Hook] I'll be right back, I'll be right back Said it in the cabin, then they found me in the shack Every sequel, same old line, and every sequel, same attack Hold the lights, I'm goin' down there, I'll be right back [Outro: crunk MC, hollered, the cello stopping dead] Thirteen stairs, and I climbed every one First time in thirteen movies I'm the one who came back up [End]
