When I was young, Mama bought me a guitarA microphone and she said I'd go farShe said, Just keep it raw, the lyrics hardcoreListen to my talk and get up, I'm on the corner with myHey kids, gather around, it's Wyclef and Melky SedeckI got a story to tell, here we goSit right back and hear a tale of a hustler 'round my wayHe used to clock around the block from where my grandma stayedBlack BMW with rims to match, windows bulletproofOne night, he jumped out the carAnd caught a bullet in his bubblegooseHe caught a bullet in his bubblegooseHe caught a bullet in his bubblegooseYou can be at the party gettin' looseBut you can catch a bullet in your bubblegooseHey yo, hey yo, my pen's in my hand, OK, what should I write next?Oh yeah, and if you don't know, success brings stressI'm vexed, my phone rings, collect caller from JeffThe operator say, If you accept, say yesYes, what's the deal, son?Yo, I got bad newsYo, by the tone of his voice, I heard the I'll street bluesThe friends will make you, them too can break youThey plan an execution like Fu ManchuWho?You know the character from channel 5 kung-fu (wahoo)Slow down, man, Jeff, I'm losin' youHey yo, your cousin Rohann...Uh-huhWho used to sell bangUh-huhDT's found his hand in the back of BennigansWhat?In a plastic bag with a note attachedSaying what?A million and a half or he won't be backSo meet me by the Brooklyn Bridge, 12:00 sharpIf not, at the funeral, you gotta play the harpYo, why they wanna start and make me play my part?Don't they know like Sting, I can turn this murder into art?I jumped into my car, there's gotta be a jokeTraffic's backed up, who's in town, the Pope?S-s-s-s-someone blew the horn, I turned and looked leftTo my surprise, it was my sis, Melky SedeckSit right back and hear a tale of a hustler 'round my wayHe used to clock around the block from where my grandma stayedBlack BMW with rims to match, windows bulletproofOne night, he jumped out the carAnd caught a bullet in his bubblegooseHe caught a bullet in his bubblegooseHe caught a bullet in his bubblegooseYou can be at the party gettin' looseBut you can catch a bullet in your bubblegooseYou're shootin' in the opposite positionI'm thinkin', Should I fire or hold back on ammunitionOn your wig transition?My mission, like Take 6, is to spread loveBut all you screwed mugs got me wearin' black glovesYou up in my face, I see the fear in your eyesYou gonna feel the pain like a grown man gettin' circumcisedShalom, shalom, pardon my leftBut my right hand's on your throat, massaging you to deathYou provoke the cycle, call MichaelYou're lookin' in the mirror, well, I'm in your window, oh ohYou hear me Urkel, your blood will turn purpleLike the color, you holler, bawlin' for your motherNo-one hears you even though you knockYou used to walk around the block with the daily rockThings done changed since your spark got hotNow you got your knot wocked with your very own GlockSit right back and hear a tale of a hustler 'round my wayHe used to clock around the block from where my grandma stayedBlack BMW with rims to match, windows bulletproofOne night, he jumped out the carAnd caught a bullet in his bubblegooseHe caught a bullet in his bubblegooseHe caught a bullet in his bubblegooseYou can be witcha girl gettin' looseBut you can catch a bullet in your gooseHe caught a bullet in his bubblegooseHe caught a bullet in his bubblegooseYou can be at the party gettin' looseBut you can catch a bullet in your goose
