I've Committed Murder
Macy Gray Lyrics

My baby works down at the boulevard café
My significant other is employed at a café located on the boulevard.

Just a fine young man with big dreams
He is a respectable and aspiring young man.

Trying to make his one way
Working hard to make a living.

The owner is this man ole bitch who degrades
The cafe owner is an unpleasant woman who belittles others.

Him everyday
She mistreats him daily.

Then she fires him for no reason
She terminates his employment without cause.

Don't want to give him for no reason
She refuses to provide him with a reason for his dismissal.

[Chorus]
Referring to the hook of the song.

I've committed murder and I think I got away
I have committed an act of vengeance and do not believe I will face retribution.

I'm hiding at my mother's house corne get me right away
I am evading discovery and seeking shelter at my mother's residence.

Right away
Urgent in nature.

I have no intention of paying for my crimes don't fear
I have no intention of suffering consequences for my actions, do not worry.

We're gonna get the next plane outer here and fly away
We plan to depart on the next available airplane and flee.

Fly away
To escape by air.

When he's down it breaks my heart to see him
It pains me to witness him in a negative state.

So I figured I'd talk to her woman to woman
I decided to communicate with the cafe owner directly.

I walk in and she's countin' her cash
She was in the process of conducting financial transactions.

Got so much cash her office looks like a green pasture
Her space is overflowing with money.

I said, "give him the little bit of money you owe him"
I requested that she provide my partner with the compensation he is owed.

She said" get back bitch I ain't givin' you shit"
She responds obnoxiously and refuses to comply.

I said, "you ole bag, maybe you ain't heard but them are Fightin words"
I retort with an insult, emphasizing that she has crossed the line.

[Chorus]
The refrain of the song.

And I don't feel bad about it
I do not experience guilt regarding the situation.

See baby there was this struggle
We had to overcome a challenging situation.

And I don't feel bad about it
Once again, I do not regret my actions.

As a result of our struggle
As a consequence of our hardship.

And I don't feel bad about it
My feelings on this matter have not changed.

But the good thing is
However, there is a positive outcome.

And I don't feel bad about it
Yet again, I do not experience remorse.

We don't have to struggle no more
We no longer need to face hardship.

With a suitcase full of money
We possess a great deal of cash.

We flew to a Jamaican paradise
We traveled to a serene location in Jamaica.

One thing I've learned through all of this is
I have gained knowledge from this experience.

Having money sure is nice
I find it enjoyable to possess wealth.

Me and my baby got married
My partner and I have wed.

He's working hard to make his dreams came true
My spouse is committed to achieving his aspirations.

As far as regrets I don't have any
I do not have any feelings of remorse.

Would You?
Asking the listener if they would express regret in this situation.
