Richard Pryor]\r\nN.C.\r\nThe cops used to come around in my neighborhood\r\n\"Alright, you kids, stop having so much fun, move along!\"\r\nOh they'd arrest me, you know, especially at night\r\nThey had a curfew, niggas had to be home at 11, negros, 12\r\nAnd you'd be trying to get home, doing your crew runs\r\nAnd they'd always catch you out in front of a store or something\r\n'Cause you'd be taking shortcuts, right\r\nCops, \"Ree, put your hands up, black boy!\"\r\n\r\n[Chorus: Slick Rick]\r\n[tab][ch]Dmb5[/ch]\r\nThe cops shot the kid[/tab]\r\nThe cops shot the kid, the cops
