Who Killed Russell Jones?
Why and was the reason known?
Not us!
Said the members of the Wu-Tang Clan
Dirty was our brother; Dirty was our man
The Old Dirty Bastard is just who he was
He was a grown man...
He never gave a fuck.
It may have been us that gave him that name
But the blame ain't ours, he couldn't cope with the fame
We've got family of our own we can't afford to fail;
Didn't have time to go visit in jail
So when he looked us in the eye and said I'm dying.
We didn't pay attention, or give it any mind
And now, looking back, maybe we should've called,
But you can't blame us at all.
Who Killed Russell Jones?
Why and was the reason known?
Not us!
Said the managers and record execs
Who treated each arrest like nothing but free press
Make a million off the mess and cut him another check.
Everybody slows down to look at a car wreck.
Anyhow he was worth more alive than dead!
He gave us a great product, and the means to an end
Our job was to make him money it wasn't to make friends.
Blame Society and the Environment!
Dame Dash signed Dirty the second he was released,
and maybe that's less time than an ex con needs...
Maybe he needed peace and to be with his family,
More than MTV News and Mariah Carey
Sure...
Whole thing may have been premature,
But you can't blame Dame at all.
Who Killed Russell Jones?
Why and was the reason known?
Not me!
Said the judge
Who takes years with his word
He was given a fair trial and justice was served.
Far as I'm concerned he deserved the penalty.
The law don't change for fame or celebrity
Mr. Jones was a drug addict
Whose offenses were flagrant
Given numerous opportunities for rehabilitation
Leaving me no choice but to incarcerate him!
Sad fact is, a lot of addicts don't make it.
It's all very tragic and I've heard the reasons given
Why people like this
need treatment
and not prison.
But the task I'm given is to uphold the law
and you can't blame me at all.
Who Killed Russell Jones?
Why and was the reason known?
Not us!
Said the owners and promoters of clubs
Who drove him to hotels and bought him his drugs
We do it for everybody and it all seems harmless
That's what you call
'Taking care of the Artist!'
He made it a job for us,
Had reason to worry
Though we all took pride in our ODB stories
About the time he was so fucked up, et cetera,
We're not babysitters!
Not paid to be therapists!
Had to refund tickets and absorb lost revenue
It wasn't just himself he was a detriment to!
We put a body on the stage
And bodies in the seats
Don't care if he can rap
Don't care if he can speak!
We've got a contract that reads:
None of it's our fault
So you can't blame us at all.
Who Killed Russell Jones?
Why and was the reason known?
Not me!
Said the fan
In his Wu-Tang shirt.
I love Big Baby Jesus! Dirt McGirt!
The Old Dirty Bastard! The absolute best!
He Kept It Real!
He was a real mess...
He came from the Projects and I never been there...
But I imagine there's a lot of people like Him there...
He Represents
The Wild, Savage, Black!
The Unchained Natural Talent, Crack!
The modern day... Minstrel Act?
It's so sad that he's gone, I wish he were alive!
I played his CD on the day that he died!
I bought an R.I.P. t-shirt from a store window!
Pretty sure the proceeds go to his widow!
He was a real hero, and all heroes fall
And I guess you can't blame...
No one at all.
