Verse 1
late one night
When I spotted a cat over in the corner,
A
E
bummin' all alone
Now as I passed him by,
what he said
He hollered, "Mmmm... by any chance
you goin' my way?"
I said, "Why sure, baby,
hop in & gimme a cigarette."
Just then he reached down in his pocket,
And that was the moment
that I regret...
He hollered,
E
I said, "But,
I don't understand you, sir!"

this is the stopper in my hand!"
"Uhhh... lookie here,"
"You see this here I got
in my hand?"
"This is a- a- a thirty- eight pistol,
built on a forty- five frame,"
"Shoots tombstone bullets
& a ball- and- chain."
He said, "Now, I- I- I- I ain't tryna shake you up,
but"
"B- b- b- but, I just want you to
know,"
"If the cops start to crowd me in,"
"Then, you gonna be the first to go."
"Now lookie here... don't
even look back!"
"Just drive ooonnn just like
nuthin' happened!"
That's what he said,
that's what he told me,
Said, "Don't even look back or
nuthin'!"
He said, "Uhhh..." now when I "get to that redlight,
" he wanted me to "go to my left,
& then jump back to my right,"
He said, "Now,
I- I- I want you to drive up in that alley,"
"N- n- not that alley! That
alley over there!"
"And pull up behind that liquor
store,"
"And keep a sharp lookout at all
times, while I sneak in the back door."
That's what he told me!
He said, "Uhhhh... keep your foot on that gas,
& always be on guard,"
"'Cause when I come runnin' outta there
with all that money,"
He wanted me to "mash down
on it real hard"
He said, "Now, uhhh...
don't lemme come outta there & find
me a double- cross,"
"Because I'll murder
when the heat's on."
understand you, sir!"

Woooo- weee! I was just sittin' there, just,
tremblin'!
Just then, a spotlight
hit me dead in the face
And this great, big,
Chicago cop behind me said, "Uhhh.
.move over a lil' bit,
baby... we gonna take yo' place."
Just then, this guy come runnin' out the
liquor store with all of that money in his hand,
He said, "Oh, there you are!"
He made a mistake in the dark & leaped
in the police car.
They put the handcuffs on him,
I said, "Child,
your crime might've outgrew him!"
Then they said, "Uhhh...",
time, they gonna have to pump
air into him!"
this is a stopper in my hand!"
