Okay okay yall tucked in[00:00:14]
Yeessss[00:00:17]
Heeeere we go[00:00:19]
Once upon a time not long ago[00:00:21]
When people wore adidas and lived life slow[00:00:24]
When laws were stern and justice stood[00:00:26]
And people was behaving like hip hop was good[00:00:29]
There lived a little boy who was misled[00:00:32]
By a little sha tan and this is what he said[00:00:34]
Me and you kid we gonna make some cash[00:00:37]
Jackin old beats and making the dash[00:00:40]
They jacked the beats money came wit ease[00:00:43]
But son he couldn't stop it's like he had a disease[00:00:45]
He jacked another and another michael jackson stevie wonder[00:00:47]
Set some r b over the track for deep cover 187[00:00:50]
The kid got wild startin actin erratic[00:00:53]
He said yo that presidential I got ta have it[00:00:55]
With liquor in his belly son he made up the track[00:00:58]
But little did he know that his joints was wack[00:01:01]
The shiny a r said great new hit g[00:01:03]
Whenever you need a loop yo come get me[00:01:06]
The kid got amped and he starts to figure[00:01:09]
I'm a get dough like all a these otha n**gaz[00:01:12]
So he's in the studio workin round the clock[00:01:14]
For pop radio jacked the beat to planet rock[00:01:17]
Was out in the street when he met this sister[00:01:19]
Who couldn't sing for shhhh but the mix wit her sister[00:01:22]
Hooked up the track and in excitation[00:01:25]
He decided hed head for the radio station[00:01:27]
But but he was running and he made a left[00:01:30]
Was skeezin at top speed and ran into mos def[00:01:32]
I slowed the young man down and I started yo money[00:01:35]
Yo why you sellin lies to our wives and children[00:01:38]
He ran upstairs up to the top floor[00:01:40]
Opened up the door then guess what he saw who[00:01:43]
Jane the chickenhead radio host[00:01:46]
Who be yappin 'bout beef between east and west coast[00:01:48]
He said this ones a bullet you got ta give it run[00:01:51]
The chicken said thanks and spanked it 1[00:01:54]
He went outside was getting props all over[00:01:56]
Then he dipped into his ride the 4 point rover[00:01:59]
Raced up the block doing 83[00:02:02]
Some cats with hennessey saw him at a r e d[00:02:04]
He winked his eye like his star status mattered[00:02:07]
They rat a tat tatted to make his blood splatter[00:02:10]
You rockin crazy ice and all you do is cling static[00:02:12]
And rolling down to brooklyn late night is problematic[00:02:15]
His eyes was bloody red he hung on every word they said[00:02:18]
They told the kid back down that playa sh*t is dead[00:02:20]
Deep in his heart he knew he was gone[00:02:23]
But he grabbed his 45 and decide to blaze on[00:02:25]
Wit shades on founded had him astounded an[00:02:28]
Before long the young man got surrounded[00:02:31]
Those grabbed the guns so goes the glory[00:02:34]
And that is the way I got ta end this story[00:02:36]
He was out chasin cream and the american dream[00:02:39]
Tryin to pretend the ends justify the means[00:02:42]
This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh[00:02:44]
It's just what comes to pass when you sell your a**[00:02:47]
Life is more than what your hands can grasp[00:02:50]
