Did You Hear About Charlie?

Charlie was a friend of mine
Thicker's thief since we were nine
His nun would call us Ron and Reggie Craig
Laying cops and robbers in the sun
On rusty bikes with plastic guns
We were the kings of his estate

We stole a car when we were teens
Filled it up with gasoline
As the sirens rang we pissed upon the flames
We got taken home by the feds
His nun clipped us round the ear and said
You're gonna be the death of me someday

So run, Charlie Bryan
I'm right behind you like the days when we were young
Here they come, Sir Charlie Bryan
Faster than a bullet from your loaded, bullet from your loaded gun

Charlie was a friend of mine
He fell into a life of crime, recruited by a low-life local gang
One night when we were 21, he said, "Look through like when we were young"
"And held a loaded Glock out in his hand"
Said, Charlie, "This ain't a game no more, your nun's under the weather"
"Remember what she said before, trouble's gonna get ya"

So run, Charlie Bryan
I'm right behind you like the days when we were young
Here they come, Sir Charlie Bryan
Faster than a bullet from your loaded, bullet from your loaded gun

(Did you about Charlie?) Your loaded gun
(Did you about Charlie?)

Charlie was a friend of mine
I hadn't seen him for some time
He called to say his nun had passed away
He said, "Lou, I've ended up inside
"I'll miss the chance to say goodbye
I hope that you can make it to the wake"
"But when I'm out, I'm gonna change
Things are getting better
Remember when she used to say trouble's gonna get ya"

So run, Charlie Bryan
I'm right behind you like the days when we were young
Look here they come, Sir Charlie Bryan
Faster than a bullet from your loaded, bullet from your loaded gun

(Did you about Charlie?) Your loaded gun
(Did you about Charlie?) Your loaded gun
(Did you hear about, did you hear about Charlie?)
