9-1-1 calls released just hours after ABC Action
News uncovered new details about an open
Department of Children and Families investigation
Days before the murder, most of that will become public record eventually
And then we can have a better sense of
Did everybody do their job correctly and a tragedy still happen?
Or did somebody drop the ball somewhere?
Jesse got a gun, Jesse got problems
It's gon' get messy now but Jesse gon' solve 'em
When you at the bottom, ain't nobody offerin' no help
See the devil when you lookin' at yourself
So Jesse went and got a gun, it's gon' be the last lie told
He deserves what he gettin', I know
It's gon' be a cold day in hell for he hurt someone I loved
Dear God, could you save my son?
Her mama ain't no mama
Carl keep her on the bottle and the farmer
That man came here to fill the life with drama
But fightin' in the trailer park, don't, nobody bat an eye
'Cause everybody here is fightin' to survive, Jesse livin' in a lie
She just want her little sister safe and
Carl movin' in that home was a big mistake
He takes her mom's disability and married her for medical
But keeps her doped up, she might as well be a vegetable
Them stamps comin' in for the food that they split
But the lights and the rent, it's on her to go and get
Daycare's too expensive so she can't leave
She got another trick hittin' up her sleeve
She got a friend named Teddy that can cook that glass
So she sells it out beside the underpass
She gotta take her little sister with her, she's too young for class
A couple more months, please go fast
Jesse got a gun, Jesse got problems
It's gon' get messy now but Jesse gon' solve 'em
When you at the bottom, ain't nobody offerin' no help
See the devil when you lookin' at yourself
So Jesse went and got a gun, it's gon' be the last lie told
He deserves what he gettin', I know
It's gon' be a cold day in hell, but he hurt someone I love
Dear God, could you save my soul?
Jesse went and got a gun, only she know she's dead after dark
Cops see him, they start walkin' to her park
She knows it's crazy, but she feels her sister safe where she can see her
She done stopped Carl twice now from shakin' her or beatin' her
Neither parent cares how the bills paid
Or the fact that she ain't been to school since the sixth grade
Until the night Carl wakes up with his right hand
Holdin' baggies from a nightstand
Quick, wake up Jesse, make a plan fast
The trailer's in your mama's name, that means it's her ass
Unless you take the blame, but then you gon' too
Your sister's all alone without you
What you gon' do? He's on the phone with the cops
What's the quickest way for this to stop?
Grabs the pistol from the drawer with her socks
Kiss the sister goodbye, she ain't gon' leave it to the state
Carl ain't gon' be around to plead his case
Jesse got problems, it's gon' get messy now
But Jesse gon' solve them when you at the bottom
Ain't nobody offerin' no help
See the devil when you lookin' at your sister
So Jesse went and got a gun
This gon' be the last lie told
He deserves what he gettin', I know
It's gon' be a cold day in hell
For he hurt someone I loved here
God, could you save my soul?
Jesse went and got a gun
This gon' be the last lie told
He deserves what he gettin', I know (Jesse got a gun)
It's gon' be a cold day in hell
God, could you save my soul? (Jesse got a gun)
