| Tales From The Crack Side
|
| I woke up in the morning, on a regular day
|
| I knew my man named R, would be around my way
|
| I brushed my hair, my teeth, suddenly I washed my face
|
| Then he came over my house with the drug base
|
| He kept saying if I take one hit of a pipe
|
| I write records to rhyme before the rest of the night
|
| I said, R, I don’t do drugs, or drugs are whack
|
| And ain’t that base drug like a drug, CRACK
|
| He said no Solo, see base is the shit
|
| Girls puff of base, and everybody does it He left off quick and left me the base and the pipe
|
| And I thought I write a record a rhyme, before I reach night
|
| I said if that’s true, but any case
|
| I couldn’t wait to write my record after I smoke the base
|
| He left the crib, I heard the telephone
|
| It was my mom telling to watch my sister 'till she gets home
|
| I hung up the phone, with no time to waste
|
| I put my sister in the kitchen so I could smoke the base
|
| It had a funny taste but it didn’t taste bad I felt hot
|
| That’s when I got my pen and pad
|
| I wrote a rhyme it was funky
|
| I broke in a race
|
| 'Cause the rhy that I wrote, tried to run off my page
|
| I said, Stop rhyme
|
| Then I grabbbed the rhyme and cut the rhyme
|
| That I’ve seen running in my sight
|
| I got a mind was happy when I thought the rhyme was dead
|
| Some leaf swong and caught me square on the head
|
| I fell on my floor and
|
| The rhyme grabbed the knife
|
| And cut my little sister
|
| I thought it took her life
|
| She fell on the floor, blood covered the rug
|
| The rhyme was left and to my surprise I knew something was bugged
|
| I got on the phone to call the cops, what should I do?
|
| You’d did the same thing if you was in my shoes
|
| As I started talking I seen the rhyme run by And hit me with a can of ravioli in my eye
|
| I fell on the floor look and when my vision cleared
|
| I looked around the house and see the rhyme disappeared
|
| I started to cry I said, Oh, what would my mom say?
|
| That’s when I heard a cop pulled up into the driveway
|
| She came in the house she took a look at the place
|
| See my sister still bleeding the knife and the base
|
| She said, You cut your sister while you were smoking that shit
|
| I said, Mom, I didn’t cut 'er, the rhyme did it I knew this was the truth, mom thought it was a lie
|
| Some of y’ll might even think it’s just a Tale From The Crack Side

|
| Mom was crying, she ran in shocked
|
| Got on the phone, and then she started crying to the cops
|
| So I ran out the door, and I looked for
|
| The rhyme that cut my sister, who bled on my floor
|
| I got in the yard, went out ran out in the street
|
| I had to duck behind some trees 'cause I seen the police
|
| When they ran in my house and shut up the block
|
| I see my girl far coming to my house, and my jaw dropped
|
| I said, Baby stop, but yo she kept on walking
|
| I knew pretty soon, the cops would be hawking
|
| I never knew the trouble I was really headed for
|
| 'Till the rhyme appeared again dressed in Santa Claus
|
| He said, Ho Ho Ho baby you look great
|
| And told me dead on my face my girl was gonna get raped
|
| Me watching this whole thing it was blowing my mind
|
| 'Cause my girl was getting raped by this musical rhyme
|
| He was sliding in fast my girl cried for help
|
| I grabbed a stick, you know and Solo went for self
|
| I hit the rhyme in the head and seen him drop
|
| But hen the rhyme disappeared and all I seen was cops
|
| They were coming for me fast I couldn’t escape
|
| Besides my girl was on the ground butt-naked yelling and raped
|
| One cop gave 'er a coat and said M. s are you alright?
|
| Another cop said that’s the kid that cut his sister with the knife
|
| I told them my name, I tried to explain
|
| They heard the side of my story
|
| They said Boy you insane you raped this girl too
|
| Come on and just admit it I said, Man, I didn’t rape 'her, the rhyme did it I knew this was the truth but cops thought it was a lie
|
| Some of y’ll might even think it just a Tale From The Crack Side

|
| The cops tried to catch me, so I ran like hell |
| I needed someone to talk to, someone to tell
|
| 'Cause all these things were happening they where blowing my mind
|
| See, I knew I didn’t do this, I knew it was a rhyme
|
| But who would believe me in any high state of mind
|
| If they ask me who did it, and I say it was a rhyme
|
| The cops didn’t buy it, this is why I 'm being chased
|
| Then my mom told the cops that I was high, on base
|
| I’m running I’m sweating
|
| I suddenly knew that I had to get the piece out as fast as I can, so I shoot up this corner, run up another block
|
| Looked over my shoulders, and seen I lost the cops, then
|
| I ran to his door, bang like a ring or two
|
| He said Solo, hey man the cops are looking for you
|
| I said, Thanks to you the base and that pipe
|
| I wrote a rhyme high last night and the rhyme came alive
|
| He started to laugh, said Yeah right!
|
| I said, It raped my girl on the block, and cut my sister with a knife
|
| He started laughing, he thought it was a joke
|
| He said, Yo Solo you had a little too much to smoke
|
| I grabbed him in the jaw, we started fighting on the floor
|
| Suddenly that’s when I heard someone that was coming from the door
|
| To conclusion, enter my mind, I said
|
| Could it be the cops, or the rhyme
|
| But before when I told 'em my man pay me no mind
|
| And when the door opened up, it came the rhyme
|
| With a hammer in his hand he tried to hit me in the head
|
| I ducked, but the hammer hit P instead
|
| I started braeking then, I said this must be a nightmare
|
| He was screaming on the floor and there was blood everywhere
|
| I got on the phone, called the cops
|
| She went into shock
|
| And when I hung up the phone, cops was on the block
|
| I stuck my head out the door, said, Help me the rhyme is in here
|
| But then he dropped the hammer, again he disappeared
|
| The cops kept asking me how did he get hit
|
| I kept trying to tell the cops Yo, the rhyme did it They didnt’buy it, they said Boy you’re bug
|
| You can save that rhyme story, for the lawyer or the judge
|
| I get there the D.A. |
| and judge still wouldn’t listen
|
| They gave me fifteen to twenty-five years in prision
|
| They take me somewhere, far state
|
| For attempted murder, assault too and rape
|
| My family won’t talk to me, my friends wont’see me My girl now hates me, and she don’t wanna marry me
|
| 'Cause when this all dawned on me It wasn’t a rhyme it was just base technique
|
| So I tell kids and adults in this place
|
| This could happen to y’ll if y’ll smoke crack or base
|
| So do yourself a favor stay away from this
|
| Or you’ll be in jail like I was yelling the rhyme did it No one will believe you, they’ll think you’re telling a lie
|
| And your life will become another, Tale From The Crack Side
