[00:11.18] Girl:Uncle Ricky, could u read us a bed time story please, o please
[00:18.28] (Alright you kids get to bed i'll get the story book. yall tucked in?)yea
[00:21.65]
[00:28.62] Here we go,
[00:31.23] Once upon a time not long ago,
[00:32.23] when people wore pajamas and lived life slow,
[00:34.55] When laws were stern and justice stood,
[00:37.03] and people were behavin' like they ought ta good,
[00:39.23] There lived a lil' boy who was misled,
[00:41.51] by anotha lil' boy and this is what he said:
[00:44.02] "Me & You, Ty, we gonna make sum cash,
[00:46.37] robbin' old folks and makin' da dash",
[00:49.14] They did the job, money came with ease,
[00:50.90] but one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease,
[00:53.16] He robbed another and another and a sista and her
[00:55.12] brotha,
[00:56.13] tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover,
[00:57.95] The cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,
[01:01.52] he said "Keep still, boy, no need for static",
[01:02.69] Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap,
[01:05.00] but little did he know the lil' boy was strapped,
[01:07.28] The kid pulled out a gun, he said "Why'd ya hit me?",
[01:09.29] the barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney,
[01:11.94] The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure,
[01:14.28] "I'll do years if I pull this trigga",
[01:16.71] So he cold dashed and ran around the block,
[01:19.09] cop radioes it to another lady cop,
[01:21.36] He ran by a tree, there he saw this sista,
[01:23.64] a shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her,
[01:26.06] Looked around good and from expectations,
[01:28.36] so he decided he'd hit for the subway stations,
[01:31.05] But she was coming and he made a left,
[01:33.03] he was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath,
[01:35.26] Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him,(sorry)
[01:37.65] then he made his move to an abandoned building,
[01:39.99] Ran up the stairs up to the top floor,
[01:42.23] opened up the door there, guess who he saw?,
[01:44.61] Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope,
[01:47.41] who don't know the meaning of water nor soap,
[01:49.89] He said(I need bullets, hurry up, run)
[01:51.70] the dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun,
[01:54.29] He went outside but there was cops all over,
[01:56.52] then he dipped into a car, a stolen Nova,
[01:58.72] Raced up the block doing 83,
[02:01.00] crashed into a tree near university,
[02:03.37] Escaped alive though the car was battered,
[02:05.78] rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered,
[02:08.04] Ran out of bullets and still had static,
[02:10.36] grabbed a pregnant lady and pulled out the automatic,
[02:12.81] Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o' lead,
[02:15.17] he told the cops(Back off or honey here's dead),
[02:17.80] Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong,
[02:19.73] so he let the lady go and he starts to run on,
[02:22.04] Sirens sounded, he seemed astounded,
[02:24.37] before long the lil' boy got surrounded,
[02:27.00] He dropped the gun, so went the glory,
[02:29.10] and this is the way I have to end this story,
[02:31.34] He was only seventeen, in a madman's dream,
[02:33.77] the cops shot the kid, I still hear him scream,
[02:36.16] This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh,
[02:38.72] just another case about the wrong path,
[02:40.80] Straight 'n narrow or yo' soul gets CAST.
[02:44.76]
[02:45.51] Good Night.
[02:50.51] Girl:oh boy, that uncle Ricky is really wierd
[02:53.03] I don't know, what does he mean straight 'n' narrow or your soul gets cast?
[02:58.98] I don't know, I think he'll be crackin' it up for us,... Good nite
[02:59.62] ---end---
