Dickery

Hickory Dickory Dock

Last night a man got shot

Over a gold chain

The shooter had no brain in his membrane 

or respect for life

A man was ended last night

Hickory dickory dock

Dickery Dickery Dare

He had his hands in the air

wave a gun like you just don't care

A puncture through the heart

to accessorize the clothes he wears

We live in the same city but we can't share

Dickery Dickery Dare

Hippity Hoppity Ho

Blood spurts with just one blow

Blood stains on the girl just he met

Staring up at her facing his death

her number in his wallet dripping red and wet

Hippity Hoppity Ho

Guess what their teaching in school

how to sing nursery rhymes at three

Instead of who these kids could really be

Have them write their name in cursive one hundred times

over the murder docket sentencing them to two hundred lifes 

These children are bleeding out in the street to nursery rhymes

Chickory Cherokee Woo

Hickory Dickery just won't do.
