The Lyrics
This parody is a complete work of fiction, and is about someone who robs an armored car at gunpoint and by distracting the guard by way of Tazer, all for the purpose of giving her dad the spoils, gets away for a while and then kills the armored-car guard, culminating in a death sentence.
*Six-four means "1964 Chevrolet Impala", favored by gangsters and lowrider enthusiasts alike, and commonly mentioned in rap songs.

As I was drivin’ a-round a city that’s called Compton
I saw a great big Brink’s truck, full o’ money, gold and diamonds
Then I pulled out my pistol and then produced a Tazer
I said “Empty the Brink’s truck!”, or this robber, she will Taze ya!
He was Tazed, then I took all the loot
All for my daddy-o
All for my daddy-o
My loot is in my six-four*
I took all of the money, and all the gold and diamonds
I put it all in trash bags, and I brought it home to Papa
He swore he’d protect me, I’d never get arrested
But the devil take my father, ‘cause he couldn’t keep a promise
Dark of night’s when I went to my six-four
Emptied entire trunk
Emptied the glovebox, too
My loot’s now in my closet
Being drunk on Night Train, I went where most wouldn’t dare
Takin' my Uzi with me, and I never knew he’d be there
At about 6 or 6:30, in walked that old Brink’s guard
I jumped up, pulled on the trigger, and I emptied out my chamber
Dang ol’ cops came and hauled me off
Up and took the cash
They took my bling-bling too
And I am in the jailhouse
Now some gals like the gamin’ and some gals like the shoppin'
And some gals like to hear a rockin’ band a-playin'
Me I like robbin', ‘specially when it involves Brink’s trucks
But here I am on Death Row, just three hots and a cot, now
No more gold, no gems, no cash
I’m sentenced to die,
Die at the hands of law
I wish I hadn’t done it
I saw a great big Brink’s truck, full o’ money, gold and diamonds
Then I pulled out my pistol and then produced a Tazer
I said “Empty the Brink’s truck!”, or this robber, she will Taze ya!
He was Tazed, then I took all the loot
All for my daddy-o
All for my daddy-o
My loot is in my six-four*
I took all of the money, and all the gold and diamonds
I put it all in trash bags, and I brought it home to Papa
He swore he’d protect me, I’d never get arrested
But the devil take my father, ‘cause he couldn’t keep a promise
Dark of night’s when I went to my six-four
Emptied entire trunk
Emptied the glovebox, too
My loot’s now in my closet
Being drunk on Night Train, I went where most wouldn’t dare
Takin' my Uzi with me, and I never knew he’d be there
At about 6 or 6:30, in walked that old Brink’s guard
I jumped up, pulled on the trigger, and I emptied out my chamber
Dang ol’ cops came and hauled me off

But here I am on Death Row, just three hots and a cot, now
No more gold, no gems, no cash
I’m sentenced to die,
Die at the hands of law
I wish I hadn’t done it

Very creative, Andria! Went well with the OS.
Thanks, Mark.
Quite a good job, Andria! It felt like I was reading a fiction based novel while reading/singing your parody! I echo Mark's comment! Wow, a lot of bling to possess in a six-four! This also makes good driving music as well! Must have served 555 years time!
Thanks, Christie Marie. For those who don't know, this OS is a traditional Irish folk song that dates back to at least the 1700s and is about a highwayman (highway robber) robbing a British man known as (in various versions) Captain Farrell or Captain Pepper, absconding with his money, having his girlfriend protect him, then killing the man, resulting in a long jail sentence. Therefore, this parody could be considered a 21st-century update.
Good story telling, with a good moral...
Well-written, and nicely parallels the OS. I also appreciated the disclaimer at the end!
Thanks for votes and comments, AFW and Fiddlegirl.
Andria, you gangsta you! Are you the one who Jacked My Van? ;-) Good storytelling, 555 years in the big house for you.
great concept and story
Thanks blackjack21, LOL at your comment (and no, it must have been someone else that jacked your van), and thanks for the jail sentence. Thanks too to Alvin, your comments and votes are always appreciated.
