[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
