LYRICS

Uncle Ricky

Would you read us a bedtime story?

Please, huh? Please?

Alright, you kids get to bed

I’ll get the story book

Y’all tucked in? (yeah)

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 and Ty, 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 (stick ’em up, stick ’em up)

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 did 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 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 the sister

Shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her

Looked around good and from expectations

He decided he’d head for the subway stations

But she was coming and he made a left

He was runnin’ top speed ’til 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? (who?)

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, 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 he still had static

Grabbed a pregnant lady and 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 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 ’bout the wrong path

Straight ‘n narrow or yo’ soul gets cast

Good night, knock ’em out the box Rick, knock ’em out Rick

Oh boy, that Uncle Ricky he’s really weird (knock ’em out the box Rick, knock ’em out Rick)

I know right, what did he mean “Straight and narrow or yo’ soul gets cast”?

(knock ’em out the box Rick, knock ’em out Rick)

I don’t know, I think he be crackin’ it up or something (knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em)

Well, good night (knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em out Rick)

Good night

knock ’em out the box Rick, knock ’em out Rick

knock ’em out the box Rick, knock ’em out Rick

(knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em out Rick)

(knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em out Rick)

(knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em out Rick)

(knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em, knock ’em out Rick)

(knock ’em out Rick, knock ’em out Rick, knock ’em out Rick, knock ’em out Rick)

(knock ’em out Rick, knock ’em out Rick, knock ’em out Rick, knock ’em out the box Rick)
