Lyrics

0:01Uncle Ricky
0:12Could u read us a bed time story please o please
0:16(Alright you kids get to bed i'll get the story book
0:22Yall tucked in )yea
0:23Here we go
0:32Once upon a time not long ago
0:34When people wore pajamas and lived life slow
0:35When laws were stern and justice stood
0:39And people were behavin' like they ought ta good
0:42There lived a lil' boy who was misled
0:47By anotha lil' boy and this is what he said:
0:48"Me & You Ty we gonna make sum cash
0:49Robbin' old folks and makin' da dash"
0:50They did the job money came with ease
0:52But one couldn't stop it's like he had a disease
0:54He robbed another and another and a sista and her
0:56Brotha
0:56Tried to rob a man who was a D T undercover
0:58The cop grabbed his arm he started acting erratic
1:01He said "Keep still boy no need for static"
1:03Punched him in his belly and he gave him a slap
1:05But little did he know the lil' boy was strapped
1:07The kid pulled out a gun he said "Why'd ya hit me "
1:10The barrel was set straight for the cop's kidney
1:12The cop got scared the kid he starts to figure
1:15"I'll do years if I pull this trigga"
1:17So he cold dashed and ran around the block
1:19Cop radioes it to another lady cop
1:22He ran by a tree there he saw this sista
1:24A shot for the head he shot back but he missed her
1:26Looked around good and from expectations
1:28So he decided he'd hit for the subway stations
1:31But she was coming and he made a left
1:33He was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath
1:35Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him,(sorry)
1:38Then he made his move to an abandoned building
1:40Ran up the stairs up to the top floor
1:43Opened up the door there guess who he saw
1:45Dave the d**e fiend shootin' d**e
1:47Who don't know the meaning of water nor soap
1:49He said(I need bullets hurry up run)
1:52The d**e fiend brought back a spanking shotgun
1:54He went outside but there was cops all over
1:56Then he dipped into a car a stolen Nova
2:02Raced up the block doing 83
2:04Crashed into a tree near university
2:06Escaped alive though the car was battered
2:07Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered
2:09Ran out of bullets and still had static
2:11Grabbed a pregnant lady and pulled out the automatic
2:13Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o' lead
2:15He told the cops(Back off or honey here's dead)
2:17Deep in his heart he knew he was wrong
2:20So he let the lady go and he starts to run on
2:22Sirens sounded he seemed astounded
2:25Before long the lil' boy got surrounded
2:27He dropped the gun so went the glory
2:29And this is the way I have to end this story
2:32He was only seventeen in a madman's dream
2:34The cops shot the kid I still hear him scream
2:36This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh
2:39Just another case about the wrong path
2:41Straight 'n narrow or yo' soul gets CAST
2:43Good Night
2:44Girl:oh boy that uncle Ricky is really wierd
2:46I don't know what does he mean straight 'n' narrow or your soul gets cast
2:55I don't know I think he'll be crackin' it up for us Good nite
Uncle Ricky
Could u read us a bed time story please  o please
(Alright you kids get to bed i'll get the story book
Yall tucked in )yea
Here we go
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 ought ta good
There lived a lil' boy who was misled
By anotha lil' boy and this is what he said:
"Me & You  Ty  we gonna make sum cash
Robbin' old folks and makin' da 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 sista and her
Brotha
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 ya 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 trigga"
So he cold dashed and ran around the block
Cop radioes it to another lady cop
He ran by a tree  there he saw this sista
A shot for the head  he shot back but he missed her
Looked around good and from expectations
So he decided he'd hit for the subway stations
But she was coming and he made a left
He was runnin' top speed till he was outta breath
Knocked an old man down and swore he killed him,(sorry)
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 d**e fiend shootin' d**e
Who don't know the meaning of water nor soap
He said(I need bullets  hurry up  run)
The d**e fiend brought back a spanking shotgun
He went outside but there was cops all over
Then he dipped into a car  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 and still had static
Grabbed a pregnant lady and pulled out the automatic
Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o' 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 run 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 have to end this story
He was only seventeen  in a madman's dream
The cops shot the kid  I still hear him scream
This ain't funny so don't ya dare laugh
Just another case about the wrong path
Straight 'n narrow or yo' soul gets CAST
Good Night
Girl:oh boy  that uncle Ricky is really wierd
I don't know  what does he mean straight 'n' narrow or your soul gets cast
I don't know  I think he'll be crackin' it up for us     Good nite
