0:21Once upon a time not long ago
0:24When people wore adidas and lived life slow
0:26When laws were stern and justice stood
0:29And people was behaving like hip hop was good
0:32There lived a little boy who was misled
0:34By a little sha tan and this is what he said
0:37Me and you kid we gonna make some cash
0:40Jackin old beats and making the dash
0:43They jacked the beats money came wit ease
0:45But son he couldn't stop it's like he had a disease
0:47He jacked another and another michael jackson stevie wonder
0:50Set some r b over the track for deep cover 187
0:53The kid got wild startin actin erratic
0:55He said yo that presidential I got ta have it
0:58With liquor in his belly son he made up the track
1:01But little did he know that his joints was wack
1:03The shiny a r said great new hit g
1:06Whenever you need a loop yo come get me
1:09The kid got amped and he starts to figure
1:12I'm a get dough like all a these otha n**gaz
1:14So he's in the studio workin round the clock
1:17For pop radio jacked the beat to planet rock
1:19Was out in the street when he met this sister
1:22Who couldn't sing for shhhh but the mix wit her sister
1:25Hooked up the track and in excitation
1:27He decided hed head for the radio station
1:30But but he was running and he made a left
1:32Was skeezin at top speed and ran into mos def
1:35I slowed the young man down and I started yo money
1:38Yo why you sellin lies to our wives and children
1:40He ran upstairs up to the top floor
1:43Opened up the door then guess what he saw who
1:46Jane the chickenhead radio host
1:48Who be yappin 'bout beef between east and west coast
1:51He said this ones a bullet you got ta give it run
1:54The chicken said thanks and spanked it 1
1:56He went outside was getting props all over
1:59Then he dipped into his ride the 4 point rover
2:02Raced up the block doing 83
2:04Some cats with hennessey saw him at a r e d
2:07He winked his eye like his star status mattered
2:10They rat a tat tatted to make his blood splatter
2:12You rockin crazy ice and all you do is cling static
2:15And rolling down to brooklyn late night is problematic
2:18His eyes was bloody red he hung on every word they said
2:20They told the kid back down that playa sh*t is dead
2:23Deep in his heart he knew he was gone
2:25But he grabbed his 45 and decide to blaze on
2:28Wit shades on founded had him astounded an
2:31Before long the young man got surrounded
2:34Those grabbed the guns so goes the glory
2:36And that is the way I got ta end this story
2:39He was out chasin cream and the american dream
2:42Tryin to pretend the ends justify the means
2:44This ain't funny so don't you dare laugh
2:47It's just what comes to pass when you sell your a**
2:50Life is more than what your hands can grasp
2:53Good night
