Lyrical Analysis of...
MISSING PAGE
- Mother stay out of that white neighborhood boy
- none of those folks like our kind
- Ty I promise mom
- Ty's friend come on Ty
- HERE WE GO
- Now once upon a time when hip hop had to rhyme
- there were three little boys that wrote some lines
- one of them was named Biggie and one was named Pac
- and the third one was a slim boy that could spit nonstop
- See Marshall grew up inside of a different kinda hood
- till one night Ty came running with a gun in his hand
- now instead of calling the police, he helped out the kid
- He gave him a meal to eat while he hid from the pigs
- Ty then told Marshall that he could still hear him yell
- Marshall told lil Ty keep running so he don't go to jail
- see Ty just witnessed his best friend get shot down
- after he just held a gun to a pregnant women's head
- and Ty couldn't do it, so he fled as the police fired lead
- and now that pregnant women was just found dead
- and a bad cop placed his misfired shot on that kid
- he had just dropped the gun that held his fingerprints
- they found his friend with drugs on him in a bit of cash
- the cops kept all the money and they smoked the grass
- told there department, the kid tried to shoot there ass
- now sirens and going off because the mayors wife is dead
- and the mayor has this huge grudge against Africans
- plus he owns all the law so he just wants the kid killed
- He tells his swine start lookin but no innocent blood spilled
- now Marshall stays calm and hands the kid his wheels
- tells him to take the back road, make a right near a field
- head north till you hit the border and don't stop, you hear
- the kid says yes Marshall but what about my parents?
- I'll talk to them afterwards when I get your shit handled
- he throws the kid his keys as the boy drives out of sight
- Marshall begins to write a letter that gets torn off with time
- about a kid that made a mistake that destroyed his life
- he keeps writing onward till he hears a knock outside
- a policeman standing with a badge, looking 5 foot 9
- say's he's been looking for a kid that just shot his wife
- Marshall keeps cool and says, your wasting your time
- your on the wrong side of the tracks so goodnight
- the policemen says bye as he gets back in his ride
- he had lost the kids entire trail that cold summer night
- and Marshall smiles as he lays down to free his mind
- now Ty has a vehicle of his own with about fifty bucks
- almost hits a truck that's near the very end of the road
- and just when Ty got out of sight, he had this thought
- and this was the reason that he ended up getting shot
- he decided to stop and try to rob this store for cash
- the store belonged to a black guy named white
- who shot Ty with a shotgun for stealing a five
- and this one goes to show you both sides
- about a small child that's enticed by crime
- and the next day Marshall looked at the news
- as he heard a siren outside, his face turns blue
- Ty's parents find out and cry themselves to sleep
- this is the missing page from slick rick's story
- How do I know it's true, Slick Rick told me
