	Martina：
	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're oughta good
	There lived a little boy who was misled
	By another little boy and this is what he said:
	'Me and you tonight are gonna make some 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 a sister and a brother
	Tried to rob a man who was a duty 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 little boy was strapped
	The kid pulled out the gun, he said 'Why'd 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 it to another lady cop
	He ran by a tree, there he saw the sister
	A shot for the head, he shot back but he missed her
	Looked around due to expectations
	So he decided he'd head for the subway stations
	But she was coming and he made a left
	He was runnin' top speed till he was out of 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, a stolen Nova
	Raced up the block doing 83
	Crashed into a tree near a university
	Escaped alive though the car was battered
	Rat-a-tat-tatted and all the cops scattered
	Ran out of bullets and still he had static
	Grabbed a pregnant lady, got out the automatic
	Pointed at her head and he said the gun was full o'lead
	He told the cops 'Back off or the 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 little boy got surrounded
	He dropped the gun, so went the glory
	And this is the way I have to 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 and narrow while your soul gets cash
