Krayzie Bone, Thug Queen, Layzie Bone, Powder, and Felicia
[Horses galloping. Horses neighing.]
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
You better count your money.
with Felicia:
Ghetto cowboy.
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
The name is Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone, wanted up north for all the gold
that I stole, along with some cash, even took the mayor's daughter. Now,
that there's kidnappin', but she was with it, so I brought her. Then,
got myself into a whole heap of trouble, double-crossed by the law, so there's
nobody to run to: yeah, it's just me and my sawed-off shotgun.
Outlaw--call him Leather Face. I'm headed for the West, heard
they got a couple banks in town that ain't been held up yet. Well,
uh, I oughta make it by sundown. I figure that's enough time for me
to get the whole rundown. So, I continue my mission. It's gettin'
dark, so I'm watchin' for them damn Injuns--they like to catch ya, then they
rob and split. I be a rootin'-tootin'-shootin' damn fool, protectin'
my chips. All of a sudden, I heard somebody rumble in the bushes.
Stop my horse. [Horse neigh.] "Whoa, Nellie! Who
in the bushes? You better speak out or I'm a let my shotgun song sing
out."
Thug Queen, "the horse stealer":
Who is this? I hope this ain't the law. Jump out the bushes with
my sawed-off shotgun.
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"C'mon out, right now. I'm gettin' angry." Took a step back,
'cause it could get dangerous.
Thug Queen, "the horse stealer":
"Please don't shoot. It's just me, Thug Queen, the
horse-stealer."
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"Then, why the hell is you hidin' in them bushes?"
Thug Queen, "the horse stealer":
"I'm wanted in four counties for armed robbery, killed to two sheriffs,
six of his best men with my hand, stole two horses. Thought you was
the law, that's why I jumped in the bushes."
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"Goodness." Now, she was hotter than the barrel on fire, but I
could use her for the job, so I told her to ride. "C'mon."
Thug Queen, "the horse stealer":
"May I ask you what you headed to the West for?"
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"I got a partner, got a plan for some dough, and if you're down, you
can pick up yourself a pretty penny. 'Be in town in a minute, now be
sure if you're with it."
Thug Queen, "the horse stealer":
"We out before the sun rise, gotta stallion for your partner to ride."
Hit the saloon for the moonshine. Down for whatever, let's ride,
let's ride.
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"These directions say we go to Tucson, Arizona. When we arrive,
we'll cop a place we can bunk, and meet my boy in the mornin' for details
and hook-up."
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
You better count your money.
Felicia:
Ghetto cowboy.
[Rooster crowing.]
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"Rise and shine! Good mornin'. Howdy. Nine o'clock we meet
my boy in the saloon in the valley. Now, I done came a long way, and
I don't wanna be late."
Thug Queen, "the horse stealer":
"Tell him I make ya (?) 'cause you know we ain't."
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"Move out! Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup." [Whip cracks, horses
neigh.]
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
You better count your money.
Felicia:
Ghetto cowboy.
Layzie "the Kid":
I'm peepin' Krayzie's wanted poster in the saloon, so I assume it'll be trouble
around here pretty soon. Glance across the room: I see this
youngster getting ready to fight, but if he mess up the night, I think that
Krayzie just might take his life. So, I approach him, and I pause.
"Look, man, I really don't wanna brawl, but won't you chill before
them laws come messin' up this masterplan?" Since he already rowdy,
I just asked the man: "Hey, you want some work? Well, partner,
put in your bid, and by the way, now what's your name? They call me
Layzie the Kid."
Powder P:
"The name's Powder P, can I get a twelve gauge? Outlaw--everyday
on the front page. Mister Kid, if you give me the lowdown, me and Black
Jack be ready for the showdown with two double-barrels pointed at whatever.
We'll stick together. I'm purty clever."
Layzie "the Kid":
"So saddle up, jump on the bandwagon, because it's all goin' down." I
heard a guy run in the bar screamin', "Krayzie's in town!"
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"Now when we get to the saloon, you don't worry. Wait outside, and
don't be stealin' nobody's damn horses!" Step inside the bar. "Lay
the Kid, you son of a gun!"
Layzie "the Kid":
"Hey, man, I'm glad you made it safely. Now let's go have some fun.
And this my partner Powder, he's a young gun."
Powder P:
"Howdy."
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"Mighty glad to meet ya, son. Oh yeah, you know I also brought a friend
along. Meet Thug Queen, the horse peddler, straggler, just met her."
Thug Queen, "the horse stealer":
"Howdy, partner, already got the horses saddled up."
Layzie "the Kid":
"I hope you good at robbin' banks like you rustle that cattle up."
Powder P:
"Now, y'all, it's gon' be gettin' dark real soon."
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
"I think you're right, I say we move. C'mon, let's move out!
Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup. Move out!" [Whip cracks, horses
neigh.]
Krayzie "Big Bad Ass" Bone:
You better count your money.
Felicia:
Ghetto cowboy.
