Children's Story

[00:12.48] Uncle Ricky, could you read us a bedtime story?
[00:15.75] Please, huh, please?
[00:19.25] Alright, you kids get to bed, I'll get the storybook
[00:22.47] Y'all tucked in?
[00:27.72] Here we go
[00:31.01] Once upon a time not long ago
[00:33.11] When people wore pajamas and lived life slow
[00:35.74] When laws were stern and justice stood
[00:37.56] And people were behavin' like they ought ta good
[00:40.12] There lived a little boy who was misled
[00:42.22] By another little boy and this is what he said
[00:44.83] Me and you, Ty, we gonna make some cash
[00:47.11] Robbin' old folks and makin' that dash
[00:49.97] They did the job, money came with ease
[00:52.42] But one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease
[00:54.43] He robbed another and another and a sista and her brotha
[00:56.63] Tried to rob a man who was a d.t. undercover
[00:58.88] The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic
[01:01.55] He said, keep still, boy, no need for static
[01:03.59] Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap
[01:05.74] But little did he know the little boy was strapped
[01:08.29] The kid pulled out a gun, he said, why did ya hit me?
[01:10.77] The barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney
[01:13.18] The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure
[01:15.38] I'll do years if I pull this trigga
[01:17.50] So he cold dashed and ran around the block
[01:19.73] Cop radioes it to another lady cop
[01:22.07] He ran by a tree, there he saw this sista
[01:24.46] A shot for the head, he shot back, but he missed her
[01:27.36] Looked around good and from expectations
[01:29.61] So he decided he'd head for the subway stations
[01:31.34] But she was coming and he made a left
[01:33.52] He was runnin' top speed 'till he was outta breath
[01:35.97] Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him (sorry)
[01:39.01] Then he made his move to an abandoned building
[01:41.15] Ran up the stairs up to the top floor
[01:43.18] Opened up the door there, guess who he saw?
[01:45.53] Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope
[01:47.89] Who don't know the meaning of water nor soap
[01:49.75] He said, I need bullets, hurry up, run!
[01:51.66] The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun
[01:54.01] He went outside, but there was cops all over
[01:57.48] Then he dipped into a car, a stolen Nova
[01:59.17] Raced up the block doing 83
[02:01.59] Crashed into a tree near university
[02:04.21] Escaped alive though the car was battered
[02:06.70] Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered
[02:09.12] Ran out of bullets and still had static
[02:11.30] Grabbed a pregnant lady and pulled out the automatic
[02:13.76] Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o' lead
[02:16.93] He told the cops, back off or honey here's dead
[02:19.13] Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong
[02:20.86] So he let the lady go and he starts to run on
[02:22.70] Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded
[02:25.21] Before long the little boy got surrounded
[02:27.74] He dropped the gun, so went the glory
[02:30.00] And this is the way I have to end this story
[02:32.34] He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream
[02:34.62] The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream
[02:36.97] This ain't funny, so don't ya dare laugh
[02:39.61] Just another case about the wrong path
[02:41.53] Straight and narrow or yo' soul gets cast
[02:44.02] Good night (knock him out the box, Rick; knock him out, Rick)
[02:50.43] Oh boy, that uncle Ricky is really weird (knock him out the box, Rick; knock him out, Rick)
[02:54.11] I know right what does he mean by
[02:55.84] Straight and narrow or yo' soul gets cast? (knock him out the box, Rick; knock him out, Rick)
[02:59.08] I don't know, I think he be crackin' it up or something (knock, knock, knock him out, Rick)
[03:02.20] Knock, knock, knock him out, Rick; knock him out the box
[03:04.28] Goodnight
[03:07.48] Knock him out the box, Rick
[03:12.15] Knock him out, Rick
[03:13.34] Knock him out the box, Rick
