Little Jon Lyrics - Kool Moe Dee

Little Jon is on the streets, late night on the ave 

Lookin' at the pretty girls and the things he'd love to have 

Street life heroes don't mean zero but that's not what he sees 

Sidewalk stars and fancy cars makes him week at the knees 

He was little Jon, he slipped away 

He was little Jon, slipped away 

He was little Jon, he slipped away 

He was little Jon, end today 

Hangin' out in the midnight hour, comin' home late at night 

Nothing's in the kitchen but a can of beer, his father wants to fight 

He's not ready, he's not ready for this, there's but so much he can take 

He wants to get away but he doesn't wanna work 

Lookin' for a easy break 

He was little Jon, he slipped away 

He was little Jon, slipped away 

He was little Jon, he slipped away 

He was little Jon, end today, huh 

Kids at school are really cruel, they tease him about his clothes 

His shoes are worn, his coat is torn, he's hungry and it shows 

He can't take it, he says, "Forget about this, I know what I can do 

I'll stand on the corner, make money 

And I'm gonna live better than all of you" 

He was little Jon, he slipped away 

He was little Jon, slipped away, huh 

He was little Jon, he slipped away 

He was little Jon, end today 

Years have passed and at long, long last, he's really lookin' good 

But he's not livin' comfortable, he's foolin' the neighborhood 

Competition is jealous, the cops are hot, they all want him to fail 

Now his only choice in life is to die or live in jail 

He was little Jon, he slipped away 

He was little Jon, slipped away 

He was little Jon, he slipped away 

He was little Jon, end today, kick it 

[Incomprehensible] 

What we got here? 

Looks like a homicide, Chief 

Shame, another one bites the dust
