Iceberg Slim - The Fall
00
Copied!
Now, some of you guys might be surprised
And say "who's this lame and where did he learn to play?"
Well, i'd like to tell of how i fell and the trick that fate played on me
So gather 'round and i'll run it down and unravel my pedigree
It was saturday night, and the jungle was bright
And the game was stalking his prey
But (?...) on the neon line
And the weak were doomed to pay
When crime begun, when daughter fought son
And your dad, he (?...)
And your mom (?...), with a heart almost broke
'cause the pad was up for sale
Where blood was shed for the sake of bread
And drunks rolled for they poke
By the slight of hand of a murphy man
All the words that the con man spoke were at its prowl
With a tigerish scowl, in search of that (?...)
And the (?...), from the can he binges
And finds his (?...) in the snow
When bells of vice sell love for a price
And even the law is corrupt
As you go down trying, you keep on crying
Man, it's a bitter cup
When the jungle creed says the strong must feed on any prey at hand
I was branded a beast, i sat at the feast, before i was a man
And the guarded display of the midnight rain lit up like a christmas toy
I made my play for a female prey
At the time, i was just a boy
I was young and prancy, and pot was my fancy
I was known as the (?...) male
But i cursed the day i made my play for that side walk jezze bell
She was a brown skin mall, like a chinese doll
Walking up and down in sin
Like a (?...), with a wink and a nod, to the nearest hoe house den
Now, it wasn't a chance that i caught her glance, 'cause i intended to steal this dame
So i smiled with (?...) and said "(?...), it's time for this kid to game!"
Her eyes shone bright in the neon light
And from there, a teardrop fell
When i asked her "why?" she began to cry and tell me this bitter tale
About some guy, who blacks her eye and takes all the dough she gets
And how she lays in jail and he won't go her bail and there's the call it quits
So i said "bitch, dry your tears and have no fears, for the kind lover is here
And i'm sticking my claim for a piece of this game and vowing i'll have no (?...)"
Jim, the bitch looked at me like a slave sets free
And said that "i'm your girl" and "her man didn't stir" as i split with her
And we made it all over the world
She caught on fast as a month rolled past
She (?...) to the bitter end
And a better hoe i've yet to know
Although a dog is man's best friend
She was a three-way winch, she played (?...) in a pinch
And took him around the (?...)
No jean or john, this hoe couldn't come
'cause that trick was never born
She was a good shot broad and a pro at fraud
And (?...), she played like a vet
She played stuff like an ace, never lost a case
And put many (?...) in debt
She ranked with best in the east and the west
When a boosting hand came down
And say "who's this lame and where did he learn to play?"
