Feat. rahzel<br><br>(kids voices)<br>Uncle whitey, uncle whitey, can you tell us a bedtime story? <br>Yeah, we want some bedtimes stories...(please!)<br><br>Once upon a time not long ago, when people wore pajamas and lived life slow<br>When laws were stern and justice stood, and people were behavin' like they our too good<br>There was a little boy who was misled by another lil' boy and this is what he said<br>Me and you, guy, we gonna make sum cash, robbin' old folks and makin' the dash<br>They did the job, money came with ease, but one couldn't stop, it's like he had a disease<br>He robbed another and another and a sister and her brother<br>Tried to rob a man who was a d.t. undercover, the cop grabbed his arm, he started acting erratic,<br>He said, keep still, boy, no need for static, punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap<br>But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped, the kid pulled out a gun<br>He said, why'd you hit me? , the barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney<br>The cop got scared, the kid, he starts to figure, I'll do years if I pull this trigger<br>So he cold dashed and ran around the block, cop radios in to another lady cop<br>He ran by a tree, there he saw this sister, a shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her<br>Looked around good and from expectations, so he decided he'd head for the subway stations<br>But she was coming so he made a left, he was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath<br>Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him, then he made his move to an abandoned building<br>Ran up the stairs up to the top floor, opened up the door there, guess who he saw<br>Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope, who don't know the meaning of water nor soap,<br>He said, I need bullets, hurry up, run, the dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun<br>He went outside but there was cops all over, then he dipped into a car, was a stolen nova<br>Raced up the block doing 83, crashed into a tree near university,<br>Escaped alive though the car was battered, rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered<br>Ran out of bullets but still had static, grabbed a pregnant lady and out the automatic<br>Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full of lead<br>He told the cops, back off or honey here's dead, deep in his heart he knew he was wrong<br>So he let the lady go and he starts to move on, sirens sounded, he seemed astounded<br>Before long the lil' boy got surrounded, he dropped the gun, so went the glory<br>And this is the way I must end this story, he was only nineteen, in a madman's dream<br>I saw the cops shoot the kid, I still hear him scream, this ain't funny so don't you dare laugh<br>Just another case 'bout the wrong path, straight and narrow or your soul gets cashed<br>G'night
