Lyrics
0:18Little Jon is on the streets late night on the ave
0:22Lookin at the pretty girls and the things he'd love to have
0:26Street life heroes don't mean zero but that's not what he sees
0:31Sidewalk stars and fancy cars makes him week at the knees
0:36He was Little Jon
0:38He slipped away
0:40He was Little Jon
0:43Slipped away
0:45He was Little Jon
0:47He slipped away
0:49He was Little Jon
0:52End today
0:54Hangin out in the midnight hour comin home late at night
0:59Nothing's in the kitchen but a can of beer his father wants to fight
1:03He's not ready he's not ready for this there's but so much he can take
1:07He wants to get away but he doesn't wanna work lookin for a easy break
1:12He was Little Jon
1:14He slipped away
1:16He was Little Jon
1:19Slipped away
1:21He was Little Jon
1:23He slipped away
1:25He was Little Jon
1:28End today
1:49Kids at school are really cruel they tease him about his clothes
1:53His shoes are worn his coat is torn he's hungry and it shows
1:56He can't take it he says "Forget about this I know what I can do
2:02I'll stand on the corner make money and I'm gonna live better than all of you"
2:06He was Little Jon
2:08He slipped away
2:11He was Little Jon
2:13Slipped away
2:15He was Little Jon
2:18He slipped away
2:20He was Little Jon
2:22End today
2:27( *street scene: sirens shots* )
2:43Years have passed and at long long last he's really lookin good
2:47But he's not livin comfortable he's foolin the neighborhood
2:52Competition is jealous the cops are hot they all want him to fail
2:56Now his only choice in life is to die or live in jail
3:00He was Little Jon
3:03He slipped away
3:05He was Little Jon
3:08Slipped away
3:10He was Little Jon
3:12He slipped away
3:14He was Little Jon
3:17End today
4:00( *street scene: sirens car pulls up* )
4:20" investigate homicide on 116th and Eighth"
4:22" homicide on 116th and Eighth"
4:25" what we got here "
4:26"Looks like a homicide Chief"
4:29"Shame Another one bites the dust"
Little Jon is on the streets late night on the ave Lookin at the pretty girls and the things he'd love to have Street life heroes don't mean zero but that's not what he sees Sidewalk stars and fancy cars makes him week at the knees He was Little Jon He slipped away He was Little Jon Slipped away He was Little Jon He slipped away He was Little Jon End today Hangin out in the midnight hour comin home late at night Nothing's in the kitchen but a can of beer his father wants to fight He's not ready he's not ready for this there's but so much he can take He wants to get away but he doesn't wanna work lookin for a easy break He was Little Jon He slipped away He was Little Jon Slipped away He was Little Jon He slipped away He was Little Jon End today Kids at school are really cruel they tease him about his clothes His shoes are worn his coat is torn he's hungry and it shows He can't take it he says "Forget about this I know what I can do I'll stand on the corner make money and I'm gonna live better than all of you" He was Little Jon He slipped away He was Little Jon Slipped away He was Little Jon He slipped away He was Little Jon End today ( *street scene: sirens shots* ) Years have passed and at long long last he's really lookin good But he's not livin comfortable he's foolin the neighborhood Competition is jealous the cops are hot they all want him to fail Now his only choice in life is to die or live in jail He was Little Jon He slipped away He was Little Jon Slipped away He was Little Jon He slipped away He was Little Jon End today ( *street scene: sirens car pulls up* ) " investigate homicide on 116th and Eighth" " homicide on 116th and Eighth" " what we got here " "Looks like a homicide Chief" "Shame Another one bites the dust"
