Slick 66 |
| Once upon a time not long ago |
| When people wore pajamas and lived life slow |
| Lived a little boy he was misled |
| By another little boy and this is what he said: |
| «Me and you tonight are gonna make some cash |
| Robbin’old folks and makin’the dash.» |
| They did the job, money came with ease |
| But one couldn’t stop, it’s like he had a disease |
| He robbed another and another a sister and a brother |
| Tried to rob a man who was a duty undercover |
| The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic |
| He said «Look kid, no need for static» |
| Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap |
| But little did he know the little boy was strapped |
| The kid pulled out the gun, he said «Why'd ya hit me?» |
| The gun was hang right for the cop’s kidney |
| The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure |
| «I'll do years if I pull this trigger» |
| So he cold dashed and ran around the block |
| Radios it to another lady cop |
| He ran by a tree, there he saw the sister |
| A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her |
| And due to expectations |
| He decided he’d head for the roadway stations |
| She was coming and he made a left |
| He was runnin’top speed till he was out of breath |
| He knocked an old man down and swore he killed him |
| Then he made his move to an abandoned building |
| He ran up the stairs up to the top floor |
| And guess who he saw? |
| Dave the dope fiend shootin’dope |
| Who don’t know the meaning of water nor soap |
| He said «Hurry, hurry up and run!» |
| The dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun |
| He went outside but there was cops all over |
| He dipped into a car, a stolen Nova |
| He raced up the block doing 83 |
| Crashed into a tree near a university |
| Escaped alive though the car was battered |
| Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered |
| Ran out of bullets but still he had static |
| Grabbed a pregnant lady, got out the automatic |
| Pointed at her head and he said |
| «Cops back off or the honey here’s dead» |
| Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong |
| He let the lady go and he starts to run on Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded |
| Before long the little boy was surrounded |
| He dropped the gun, so went the glory |
| And this is the way I have to end my story |
| He was only seventeen, in a madman’s dream |
| The cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream |
| This ain’t funny so don’t ya dare laugh |
| Just another storye 'bout the wrong path |
| Straight and narrow while your soul gets cash |
| Goodnight |
