Hey I'd like to tell you a little story 
about my man named Dee 
Yo, even from when he was little 
he was like kinda on a tough tip 
Doin all that stuff 
But, I'ma tell you the way.. 
.. it should really go like.. 
.. the way he would say it now check this out 

When I was young, he always dreamed of bein rich 
But compared to then, that'd been a big switch 
Drivin big cars, wearin rings and ropes 
but man without a plan all he had was hopes 
So he sat down, and thought, what he wanted to be 
But it seems, no occupation had appeal to Dee 
He didn't wanna be a doctor, he don't like school 
It wasn't that he was dumb, he just thought he was too cool 
Cause all the moneymakers and the big-time crooks 
he never ever seen NONE of them carryin books 
He used to be on the block, do whatever they pleased 
Never had a nine to five, but STILl clocked G's 
Harold Reuben, Freewood Ave would make a man of them too 
And he thought, yeah that's the life, he wanna do like they do 
So he start to flip and cut class with the big boys 
Take other kids toys, cause he didn't dig noid 
He'd rather run the block and watch the hustlers play 
And he'll say, he wanna be just like that one day 
He used to run in the stores, steal cookies and candy bars 
Watchin the pimps roll by in they fancy cars 
But never did the thought even pass 
at the time, he 'posed to have his behind in class 
So when report cards came, all he received was a F jack 
And he got his neck smacked, for cold gettin left back 
But yet and still, he didn't care 
Cause to him, school's for the birds so he didn't belong there 
When he was only eight he hung out with the pros 
And he went, from stealin candy, to boostin clothes 
He used to dip out the class, go straight to the mall 
And he'll take, ANYTHING from anybody at all 
His neighbors used to ask his mother "Brown what's WRONG witcha child? 
He done ROBBED my damn house again, yo that kid is buck wild.." 

Yo, I don't know whassup, but he be BUGGIN word up 
Yo that yo.. I'm just sayin like this 
I don't whassup, but 
I think you will understand a little bit more of the situation 
I'ma say like he would say it, on this second part 
So just check this out aight? 
Just kick it one two three, go head, go head man, go head 

He was a crook -- at the age of nine 
Do whatever it took -- he'll ROB YOU BLIND 
Snatchin pocketbooks, robbin blind ol men 
way back WHEN.. when he was only ten 
Then when he was in 5th grade, he carried a switchblade 
Tried to stay rich to keep him and his bitch paid 
And if he ever had to travel somewhere far 
Take a bus? PSSH - HE'D GO STEAL HIM A CAR! 
He'd always choose to live his life the wild way 
Tag?! Russian Roulette is what he'll play 
His moms and pops told him when he first reached Junior High 
the way you live determine just how soon you die 
And he didn't care because to him it was fun 
and he was only THIRTEEN when he got his first gun 
He robbed stores and did stick-ups frequently 
Gave a new name to juvenile delinquency 
And yeah you know that, he, was on the go 
Seven days of the week, he kept his pockets full of dough 
But he was headed for a dead end fast 
Cold riskin his ass for petty cash that didn't last 
Went back and forth to jail six times 
for stolen cars and stick-up and various crimes 
So when he sit in his cell, he reminisce as a child 
it don't pay to do crime today, so don't be buck wild.. 

Ay that that that's a little bit of a lesson 
for all the kids out there you know now 
Yeah yeah yeah you know what I'm sayin 
And this is comin from 
The Grand High Exalted Mystic Ruler 
Ain't no one cooler 
In 7th grade I had a teacher named Mr. Dulah 
who used to wear his pants up to his chest 
And I want you to just listen 
cause.. this is no joke, so don't be buck wild..
