Lyrics to Spoon

Now, my ace-boon-poon

Was a young boy named Spoon

My crime partner from the block

He had served a bullet 'n a deuce

And now they were cutting him loose

From the joint they called the Rock



We had hung out as kids

Serving alternate bids

In various reform schools and jails

And he was like my kid brother

And we had helped one another

'Til he was busted for some stolen goods sales



When he finally came back on the scene

His wardrobe was lean

So I bought him some vines of his own

And then we lit up some smoke

And snorted some coke

And I dug how the brother had grown



He was bigger and meaner

And his mind was more keener

And he had earned the rep with his hands

Plus he was eager to compete

With the hustlers on the street

For my man had ambitious plans



I lent him a yard

And copped him a rod

A .38 blue steel piece

Then we split to the Cafe Black Rose

To party with some hoes

And for dinner we ordered a feast
