Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Once upon a time, in the black part of the city
(Yo G, yo G, you better get outta here, man, 5-0)
(Yo, Ice Cube, man)
What's up, man, what's up?
(Yo, Ice Cube, man, why you always kickin' the shit about the bitches and the ****?)
(Why don't you kick some shit about the kids, man? The fuckin' kids!)
Word
[Verse 2]
Little boys and girls, they all love me
Come sit on the lap of I-C-E
And let me tell ya a story or two
About a punk-ass **** I knew
Named Jack, he wasn't that nimble, wasn't that quick
Jumped over the candlestick and burnt his dick
Ran up the street 'cause he was pipin' hot
Met a bitch named Jill on the bus stop
Dropped a line or two, and he had the ho
At that type of shit, he's a pro
So Jack and Jill ran up the hill to catch a little nap
Dumb bitch, gave him the claps
Then he had to go see Dr. Bombay
Got a shot in the ass, and he was on his way
To make some money, why not?
Down on Sesame Street, the dope spot
There he saw the lady who lived in a shoe
Sold dope out the front, by the back, marijuana grew
For the man that was really important
Who lived down the street in an Air Jordan
"Rog" to the fella, "Mister Rogers" to hoes
Drove a 500 sittin' on Lorenzoes
He broke out, Little Bo Peep, smoked out
Saw her and her friends sellin' sheepskins
[Verse 3]
(Yo, yo, got them sheepskins)
(Yo, empty sheepskins, yo, baby, what's up with that?)
[Verse 4]
Hickory Dickory Dock
It was twelve o'clock
Cinderella ain't home, must be givin' up the cock
I don't doubt it, she is kinda freaky of course
Had a fight with Snow White, she was fuckin' her dwarfs
Saw a fight over colors, too
Red Ridin' Hood and Little Boy Blue
A bad influence? Yo, I don't know
But Ice Cube'll tell the kids how the story should go
[Verse 5]
(Yeah, money, I said, yeah, money, that's it)
(This is Little Russ in the house)
(Rock that shit, homie, rock that shit)
(Well, you know the rest)
[Verse 6]
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
With a joint, drinkin' some 8-ball
Three little pigs in a Coupe de Ville
Lookin' for the wolf to kill
They're fucked up and they want revenge
Them and Humpty used to be friends
Now they're enemies 'cause he's a traitor
Pulled out the Uzi, cruise by and sprayed him
Cinderella hoein' for the fellas
And Mister Rogers is gettin' mighty jealous
Of the cash that the pigs were makin'
Time for the pigs to get turned to bacon
'Cause Mister Rogers found out quick
That Humpty Dumpty was blown to bits
They said that the motherfuckin' wolf is next
So Mister Rogers better watch his step
So he let the wolf know
We're gonna fuck up the pigs, and take their ho
'Cause Cinderella is much too fast
Before twelve, givin' up ass
Double barrels all loaded and cocked
As soon as they show, they gonna get popped
They barreled down Sesame Street and caught 'em
Little Boy Blue is up front givin' orders
Little did they know Cinderella was a fink
She called the cops and got thrown in the clink
A bad influence? Yo, I don't know
Ice Cube'll tell the kids how the story should go
[Verse 7]
Ayo, man, was that dope enough for you?
(Yeah, you alright, you in the house)
(We outta here, see ya)
Yeah, you better go home 'fore I whoop your little bad ass
[Verse 8]
(Some bedtime story, huh?)
(It's a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't wanna live here)
(Yeah, good old Mother Goose, remember her?)
(I fucked her)
