Everlast - Children`s Story

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
