66th Street
(专辑: Sad Clown Bad Winter #11 - 2007)
Hi, can I
help you? [Verse 1] I
think it was a
Sunday, sometime in January I
could be wrong and I
guess it isn't necessary But I
remember that the
ground was made of snow And if you went outside, you better take your coat I
must have been nineteen years old I
had a
cashier job at a
convenience store Working the
counter making minimum doe Selling discount smokes to the
neighbourhood folk I
didn't pay much thought to his ski mask It's Minnesota man, your face will freeze fast But I
bet that I
looked sorta dumb When I
first caught sight of his bright orange gun There I
am, adrenaline high and Tryin to decide how I
feel about his right hand Is that a
goddamn? Wait a
minute It is a
flare gun and guess where he's aiming it You probably ain't here to win the
lottery So you obviously gotta be robbin me He nodded his head so opened up the
till And grabbed a
paper bag for the
money cause I
know the
drill I
handed him the
cash and the
food stamps He just stood there looking all confused and I'm thinking "Yo, why the
fuck ain't he movin?" C'mon crazy white boy, don't do somethin stupid That bag is worth maybe two-thirty Not enough for you to pull the
trigger back and burn me By now you should be down the
street Ain't you never seen the
way they do this shit on TV? Yeah it was fun but it's done, now get out "Ah, do you want me lay down on the
ground and start countin crops?" Before the
ski way even started noddin I
was already on that, one one-thousand, two one-thousand The
front door beeped, I
heard him leave So I
called my boss and the
Richfield police Gotta close the
shop and lock the
doors Cause some trailer trash just robbed the
store [Phone call between Slug and police officers] [Verse 2] Everybody acted so suspicious I
guess the
flare gun story seemed fictitious Are you accusing me of petty embezzlement? Don't you see my left over adrenaline? Bosses and cops can't be my friend Never felt loyalty to either again And to keep it real, the
irony didn't set Until a
year later when I
got fired for stealing cigarettes
