[Verse 1: Shaggy 2 Dope] I caught death inside that jar like some invisible demon It blew into my room, I can hear the moon screamin' It picked me out at random, but they catch em, I planned it It swept in through my window, I snatched it and canned it The jar shakes on my table, it's power immense I'm nervous just to hold it, this shit is intense You're just a evil gust of wind, the deadly breath to exhale I sentence you to jail, let this jar be your hell
[Verse 2: Monoxide] I've caught death in a dixie cup Tried to get me when I was fucked up Gotta get it to a jar, anybody got a car I can use, because I live too far to park Death ain't come here lookin' to talk He wanna stalk somebody in the dark So somebody help me, help me somebody Inside, in this cup is worse than them zombies Maybe dig a hole, leave it inside, bury death alive But if I don’t get it out of this red cup quick Everyone here's gonna die
[Hook: Violent J] (I caught death in a jar!) And screwed the lid on tightly (Death is just a breath) But still it tried to fight me Everytime you breathe in Your last breath it might be Now there’s more on the hunt Daily and nightly
Death is just a breath x4
[Bridge: Shaggy 2 Dope] And if you catch it, you can play with it But don't let it go Don't poke no holes in the top Don't drop it, don't let it go
[Verse 3: Blaze Ya Dead Homie] I got death trapped like a rat without the cheese See me play him like a game of chess and win with ease Watch as I spread disease with a wave of the hand The plagues that riddle man, mine to command, can't let him in Keep him enclosed in the mason, the case in glass It zoom while I consume doomed souls, then I laugh Can't let it shatter, if it does I'm gone soon after Tortured by the one I've kept trapped like brain matter
[Verse 4: Jamie Madrox] Caught death in a mixing bowl With a plate on top like a make shift Then I tried movin' that shit in a coffee can With a skull that I've painted off on the side Then it got free and I tried to grab him But my hands went through, like I'm choking a ghost So I turned on the fan, and then I grabbed the bag And then I held it wide open, it started to blow, and it blew inside Then I quickly tied that shit in a knot like a pretzel dough And then the bag puffed up like a big balloon And when I looked in his eye, it looked just like fog Circlin', gigglin', thick, black darkness, sick by far And then I pushed the contents of that bag into a mason jar
[Hook]
[Bridge 2: Shaggy 2 Dope] And if you catch, you can play with it But don't let it go Don't be sharin' it, take care of it And don't let it go
[Verse 5: Violent J] I have a glass pickle jar, inside I caught the grim reaper Would of used a vase or a vahz but this is cheaper Inhale him like some reefer, then put you in a sleeper He was tryin' to kill me, but then I caught him, he's a keeper Sealed it up with duct tape and wrapped it in a towel Buried it in the backyard, but still I hear it howl It's beyond something foul, evil hear it growl I caught one but there's many more still out there on the prowl Breathing it in while sleeping, eyes pop open, you froze Just accept it, you’re dead, eyes slowly they close But now I'm in control and kill it I must Cause if I drop it and it bust, I'm dead in the dust!
