Little jon is on the streets late night on the ave.<br>Lookin at the pretty girls and the things he'd love to have<br>Street life heroes don't mean zero, but that's not what he sees<br>Sidewalk stars and fancy cars makes him week at the knees<br><br>He was little jon<br>He slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>Slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>He slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>End today<br><br>Hangin out in the midnight hour, comin home late at night<br>Nothing's in the kitchen but a can of beer, his father wants to fight<br>He's not ready, he's not ready for this, there's but so much he can take<br>He wants to get away but he doesn't wanna work, lookin for a easy break<br><br>He was little jon<br>He slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>Slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>He slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>End today<br><br>Kids at school are really cruel, they tease him about his clothes<br>His shoes are worn, his coat is torn, he's hungry and it shows<br>He can't take it, he says, forget about this, I know what I can do<br>I'll stand on the corner, make money and I'm gonna live better than all of you<br><br>He was little jon<br>He slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>Slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>He slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>End today<br><br>( *street scene: sirens, shots* )<br><br>Years have passed and at long, long last he's really lookin good<br>But he's not livin comfortable, he's foolin the neighborhood<br>Competition is jealous, the cops are hot, they all want him to fail<br>Now his only choice in life is to die or live in jail<br><br>He was little jon<br>He slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>Slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>He slipped away<br>He was little jon<br>End today<br><br>( *street scene: sirens, car pulls up* )<br>..investigate homicide on 116th and eighth<br>..homicide on 116th and eighth<br>..what we got here? <br>Looks like a homicide, chief<br>Shame. another one bites the dust
