Lyrics
As I was motivatin' down the boulevard late one night
I saw this guy on the corner, bummin' it all alone
As I passed him by, he hollers out
"By any chance you goin' my way?"
I said, "Sure baby, hop in and give me a cigarette"
And that was the moment I regretted
He said, "Reach for the sky"
I said, "But I don't understand, sir"
"Don't give me no monkey business
I got a stopper in my hand"
He says, "You see this I got here?
This is a.38 pistol built on a.45 frame
Shoots tombstone bullets and a ball and chain
But I'm not tryin' to rile you up, now
I just want you to know
If the cops start crowding me in
You're gonna be the first to go"
"Oh, reach for the sky"
I said, "But I don't understand, sir"
"Don't give me no monkey business
This here's a stopper in my hand"
"Now, I just want you to drive on
And don't look back at nothin'"
That's what he told me, that's what he said
"When you get to these here lights
I want you to turn left and then a sharp turn to your right
And pull into that alley, uh-uh, not that alley
That alley over there
Now, draw up alongside this liquor store
Now, I'm goin' in the liquor store
And when I come out with the money
I want you to step on the gas real hard"
"Oh, reach for the sky"
I said, "But I don't understand, sir"
"Don't give me no monkey business
I got a stopper in my hand, you know"
Well, let me tell ya, I was just sittin' there tremblin'
And this spotlight hit me plum in the face
Policeman came over, he said
"Move over, baby, we're gonna take your place"
Just then this man came runnin' out of the liquor store with the money
He made a mistake in the dark and got into the police car
I heard the policeman holler to him
"This time we're gonna put you so far back in jail
They're gonna have to pump air into ya"
"Oh, reach for the sky"
I said, "I don't understand you, sir"
"Now, don't you give me no monkey business
I got a stopper in my hand
Yeah, I got a stopper in my hand"
