Jack B. Nimble

Masta Ase Inc.

Yeah... it's a real sad story



Show you just how unjust this world is



Let me tell ya bout a guy named Jack




Jack B. Nimble Jack be quick



There's a cop running right behind you with a stick



Better run Jack run Jack run Jack run



Better hide that gun Jack hide that gun Son



Things look bad now they're gonna get worse though



Look there's an alley take off in a burst yo



It sure is dark Jack it smells like piss aiyyo



Look at that big rat, here hit him with this



Uh-oh quiet, here comes that copper



Get in this garbage can and put it on the top



uhhh, yeah yeah that's pretty slick



What a trick, he walked right past, what a dick



I think he's gone now, ready set, now jet



You better run Jack run Jack don't stop yet



There's a patrol car, they're searchin the area



You think you're scared now, it's gonna get scarier



Don't be mosin, they're closin in kid



See what having that darker skin did



Now which way Jack, cause you need a breather



And a good lawyer, you won't get either



Up those stairs Jack, your sister's building



The cops will leave soon, so stay there till then



But she's not home so you can keep on knockin



Take out a slim jim and pick the lock and



now you're safe, can you believe those guys?



Hunting you down with such hate in their eyes



But now you can rest Jack, but oh what a mess black



Run to the bathroom, and flush away the crack



Maybe you shoulda just kept your mouth quiet



Never knew that it would cause such a riot



Peek out the window, to see who's lurkin



Twenty cop cars, hey this ain't workin



Someone saw you when you dipped inside they're



comin up the stairs there's no place to hide, yeah
