[Featuring Slick Rick] 

Uhh  Once upon a time  let's see if I remember 

Back in January 

Nah  chill.....it was December 

True...cuz that's when L started his bid 

Partied through the New Year 

January third he slid 

Up until then  yo  L had it swell 

Called him Sweet Pea like his name was Pernell 

He did the job  money came with ease 

Blowing outta town  moving bricks and ki's 

Him and his chick  in forty G rides 

Holding down fort like they Bonnie N Clyde 

Luxury cars of all makes and models 

New outfits everyday, downin' champagne by the bottle 

Glass in the air (air) 

Toast to my team (team) 

Toast to my cream and the scotties that beam 

While others fiend, I'm abouts da beamer 

Think about your girl, just say what (Say what!), I'm a dreamer 

Called up CRU 

Yo, they probably in the studio 

Phil Collins in the background 

(Su-Su-Sudio) 

Chorus: repeat 3X 

Now this ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh 

Just another case about the wrong path 

(Where's my chick?) Sent her on a mission 

Hope she ain't slip...on that pickup 

Yo, who dis on my flip 

What! My cash and he fucked her wit dat A 

Me and Mitch rollin' over there quick fast 

Rolled up on the spot, (It's that kid Uzi Ed) 

He took me for my paper so just call him Uzi Dead! 

Used to run epps wit him back in the day 

Mitch popped the trunk 

Passed the German AK 

You dirty rat! I'm bout to bless that ass 

Better take cover from the rat-tat-tat-tat 

Uzi Ed, ain't have a vest, three to the chest, Ed got blessed 

L got life, Ed got death 

Honey took the money and she slid to the left 

Back in the day I told L she was shady 

Now she in Cali about to have Ed's baby 

Chorus: repeat 5X 

Now this ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh 

Just another case about the wrong path 

(Slick Rick) 

Yo, what's the word, kid?! 

Tell you bout a brother named Sid 

Got work release after doing a 3-to-life bid 

cause of drug logic 

Shouldn't touch it 

Now out to budget 

With a movie star chick from outta Edenwald Projects 

Nice job, took prison camp drives 

While he promised up and down to live a civilized lifestyle 

The seat off the brow was soon on garment 

Both worked 

Got themselves a two-bedroom apartment 

Great statement, without delayment, away and went 

Saved to get a house on one of them low down payments 

But an idea concocted his stock 

Why don't we try and turn this money over on the drug tip 

So he gave his man a shriek and excitement 

Didn't know his peeps were under secret indictment 

Sick of the path that'll get you hung by the neck 

Sent him back up north to do a super long stretch again 

Black folk, you know the half, don't laugh, it's... 

Just another case about the wrong path 

Chorus: repeat 4X 

Well, this ain't funny, so don't you dare laugh 

It's just another case about the wrong path
