(KIDS VOICES)

Uncle Whitey Uncle Whitey can you tell us a bedtime story?

Yeah we want some bedtimes stories...(Please!)

Once upon a time not long ago when people wore pajamas and lived life slow

When laws were stern and justice stood and people were behavin' like they our too good

There was a little boy who was misled by another lil' boy and this is what he said

"Me and you Guy we gonna make sum cash robbin' old folks and makin' the dash"

They did the job money came with ease but one couldn't stop it's like he had a disease

He robbed another and another and a sister and her brother

Tried to rob a man who was a D.T. undercover the cop grabbed his arm he started acting erratic

He said "keep still boy no need for static" punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap

But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped the kid pulled out a gun

He said "why'd you hit me?" the barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney

The cop got scared the kid he starts to figure "I'll do years if I pull this trigger"

So he cold dashed and ran around the block cop radios in to another lady cop

He ran by a tree there he saw this sister a shot for the head he shot back but he missed her

Looked around good and from expectations so he decided he'd head for the subway stations

But she was coming so he made a left he was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath

Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him then he made his move to an abandoned building

Ran up the stairs up to the top floor opened up the door there guess who he saw

Dave the dope fiend shootin' dope who don't know the meaning of water nor soap

He said "I need bullets hurry up run" the dope fiend brought back a spanking shotgun

He went outside but there was cops all over then he dipped into a car was a stolen Nova

Raced up the block doing 83 crashed into a tree near university

Escaped alive though the car was battered rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered

Ran out of bullets but still had static grabbed a pregnant lady and out the automatic

Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full of lead

He told the cops "back off or honey here's dead" deep in his heart he knew he was wrong

So he let the lady go and he starts to move on sirens sounded he seemed astounded

Before long the lil' boy got surrounded he dropped the gun so went the glory

And this is the way I must end this story he was only nineteen in a madman's dream

I saw the cops shoot the kid I still hear him scream this ain't funny so don't you dare laugh

Just another case 'bout the wrong path straight and narrow or your soul gets cashed

G'night
