Children's Story, once upon a time, not long ago
When people wore the time and lived lives slow
When laws were stern and justice stood
The people were behaving like they all the good
There was a little boy who was misled
By another little boy, this is what he said
Me and you got we gon' make some cash
Robbing old folks, making a dash
They did the job, money came ease
One couldn't stop, it's like he had disease
Robbed another and another, sister and a brother
He tried to rob a man, was BT undercover
The cop grabbed his arm, started acne, radic
He said, Keep still, boy, there's no need for static
Poshed him in his belly, gave him a slap
Little did he know, little boy was strapped
Pulled out his gun said, why you hit me?
Barrel hand straight for the cop kidney
Cop gets scared, kids off the figure
I'll do years if I pull his trigger
So cold, Dash and ran around the back
Cop radios into another late cop
Ran by Tree, there is our whole sister
Shot for the hair, shot back, but he missed her
Look round, good and from expectation
He decided he'd head for the subway station
But she was coming, so we made a left
He was running top speed was out of breath
Knocked an old man down, swore we killed him
The maidens moved to an abandoned building
Ran upstairs up to the top floor
Opened up the door, guess what it saw?
Dave, the dope fiend, shooting dope
Who don't know the meaning of ordinary soap?
He said, I need bullets, hurry up, run
The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun
Went outside, there was cops all over
So we dimmed to a car was stolen over
Raced up the back doom in 83
Crashed into a tree near university
Escaped alive, though a car was shattered
Ratta tat-tatted, all the cops scattered
Ran out of bullet, but still had static
Ragred and Lady pulled out the old mat
Pointed out of here, said the guns full of lid
So cop, back off for honey, his dead
Deep in his heart, knew it was wrong
Let the lady go and it starts to move on
Sirens sounded, seemed astounded
Before long, little four got surrounded
He dropped his gun, so went the glory
And this is the way he got to end this story
He was only 19 in a madman's dream
The cops shoot the kid, I still hear him scream
This ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh
Just another case about the wrong path
Straining out, your soul gets cast good night, y'all, yeah
