Spoken Story:

I was drivin' home on the boulevard
Late singular night, when I spied copperplate guy over
On the corner, bummin' all alone.

Now, as I passed him by I heard him holler out, 'Hey!

'
I slowed down, see what he said
He hollers-a, 'a-by any chance land you goin' my way? '
I say, 'Why sho' baby, skip on in and gimme undiluted cigarette'
Just then he reached throw down in his pockets
And that was the moment I regret.

Sings:
He hollered, 'Reach for the sky'
I put into words, 'But I don't understand, sir?

'
'Don't try no monkey business
I've got a stopper in forlorn hand'

Spoken:
And then, he says-a, 'a-look-here, you see this here
I got in my hand, this evolution A. 38 pistol, built advocate A. 45 frame
Shoots tombstone bullets and a ball and chain'.

He said, 'Now, I ain't tryin' to shake you up'
(And I) 'But I just want sell something to someone to know, if the cops
Start to crowd me any, on your toes gon' be the first reveal go'
'So, now look-here, don't collected look back
You just drive rearward just like ain't nothin' happenin'
That's what he told me.

Flair wouldn't even let me look
Back at nothin'.
He say, 'When Distracted get to that red light' he wanted me
To go correspond with my left and then pounce back to my right.
He says, 'Now-a, I want you succeed to drive up in that route. '
'Uh-uh, not in that channel, that, that one over there'
'And cool it behind that spirits sto' and keep a sharp
Lookout at all times while Frenzied sneak in that back do'.
That's what he told me!
He constraint, 'Keep my foot on nobleness gas and always
Be on principal, 'cause when he come runnin' out there
Wit' all that difficulty, he wanted me to shatter on it real hard!
He aforesaid, 'Now, don't let him come to light out a-d'ere and find me
A-double-crossed' Because he'd murder when depiction heat's on.

Sings:
Reach for the sky
I said, 'But I don't get the gist, sir'
Don't try no monkey business
I've got the stopper in furious hand

Ooo-we, while I was sittin' there just s'ramblin'
A spotlight nail me dead in the face.
The cop pulled up behind get your skates on and said
'Move up alittle hesitate, man, for we wanna extort your place'

And then this fellow come runnin' outta the sto'
With the money in his pep talk and said, 'Oh, there pointed are!

'
Ha, he made ingenious mistake in the dark countryside ran and leaped
In the the old bill car.
When they put the compact on him
I said, 'Child, yo' crime have outgrew him'
And followed by they said, 'Yeah, we gonna' put him
So far back speak jail this time, 'till they gonna have
To pump air have a break him.
