Take a Left On Larceny Lane By Free Cee
TAKE A LEFT ON “LARCENY LANE”
Yes
It’s still me
No one was able to kill me
Not thus far anyway
I don’t care about age, gender, smart or dumb
So long as they could afford top of the line rum
I ring many bells
Many bells have I rung
I’ve been ringing bells since I was far too young
So I ring the bell to a ragged shanty
A stick thin old lady and a man in misery answered the door
I told them how I was starving and SWORE I was poor
I took their funds even though they had no money for DEBTS
BUT I AIN’T A PHOOL WHO MAKES INDISCRIMINATE BETS
One must learn to at all times to be discreet
And if they catch me stealing I just get to meet old friends IN JAIL OR sleep on the street
