Kid Capri - News Story lyrics

rate me

Yeahhh.. mmhmm

I don't know what's goin on

Everybody tryin to flip

All they need to do is do the right thing

Put it where it's supposed to be

News story.. open to the media

Crime bossesdo or dieor either ya

Live like a convict on the rock

You get shankedbattered and brusied you get dropped

In the bangjust livin like a savage

And at the same timeyour body's damaged

Made a move on a brother from the boogie down bronx

He was a bullythat beat up punks

In the cellsand caught a couple of the c.o.'s

Snatched a brother by his neck

And knocked him down and broke his nose

Here's the bumrush - twenty at a time

Started somethin new just when the brother dropped dimes

Huhthis is a brother who's a drug kingpin

Made millions and millionsagain and again

Used tostitch a snitch just to get him switched

But the brother didn't knowthat snitches get stitches

Had a jah had a benz had.. plenty of friends

Had.. fifties and hundreds stacks of twenties and tens

He was evictedmother probably did time long style

Had her workin with the chain gang in the coal mine

Did the bid came outbut the brother was broke

Had connects so the brother started sellin some coke

And vials of cracks he sold itto all the new jacks

He soldbuddha and stuffmeth sloopies and smacks

He wore polo and guessdressed the part and the style

Whole teeth were cleanevery time he would smile

He had a.. girl named josie was a beautiful chick

Ended up bein a girl in aporno flick

Tis the season to be skeezinthe girl made me sick

Wanted to kick a little flavor so the flavor was kicked

She's a girl from around the way that likes to play

Spendin his dougheatin out every day

Wearin jewels expensive clothes so on and so on

And my man didn't know that the girl was a hoein

Now she got a little pot I guess she's goin for self

Tryin to make brothers lick herbelow the belt

Takin trips to virginia with a key at a time

Makin 42 g's at a drop of a dime

Now she's thick but what about the brother that put her on?

And gave herjewels and furs and treated her like a don

She forgot all about himso now he's mad

He got a thirty-two clip and when he find her she's had

But that's the life of the fast lane

There you just might gain

A house and cashand either jail or chump change

I've seen it beforemy buddies went through it all

And because of thatI don't see em anymore

Twenty-five to lifedoin crazy hard time

And in the jailswhat's yours is mine

Huhand as I say I need a moment of silence

The almight kid capri says.. stop the violence

Stop the violence

All you gotta do is put it in effect

Put yourself where you're supposed to be

Teach otherssave the children

And all that

Big shout.. to the trooper love crew

Rest in peaceto my main manchuck g

Pop duke

This is the kid capriand the lords of funk

And we outta here... see-ya!
