Lyrics: Kid Capri. Hang 'em High.

Good evening, this is Dee Joseph for WBIZ radio
This just in, police officials report
That a six year old girl was found raped today

The girl's stepfather is the key suspect in the case
Details are still sketchy at this time
Now back to the Kid Capri radio show
How do you feel about it, Kid Capri?

Hang 'em high, let him suffer before he die
'Cause in my mind I see that little girl cry
She was abused, misused and even sodomized
She didn't know, all of this was a surprise

So now she's scarred for life, nothin' can change that
Being treated like some dog by some maniac
What type of man would want to do that to a six year old
Out of all of these women that the world hold?

You coulda went to a nightclub and met a chick
Black or white, Puerto Rican you coulda picked
Bought her a drink, took her home and maybe got some
But you'd rather rape a baby and you think it's fun?

Now you're goin' to jail, death row I hope
Before the rope when you get there your boots'll smoke
I got somethin' to say to ya before ya die
Hang 'em high

My name is Kid Capri, I wanna say this to y'all
Any man that rapes a woman is not a man at all
Especially a little girl that don't know nothin' about that rape
Man, you're a maniac

So now you're locked in a cell, what good are you now?
No friends, no freedom and no style
Word to duke, you're gettin' stuck like a blister
Just for instance that coulda been my sister

Or my moms, my girl or my daughter Lou
Be glad the cops got to you before I got to you
It's a shame for a girl to be so scared
That when she walk down the block, her life is dead

Can't jog down the street after dark
Take a look at what happened in Central Park
A girl is runnin' while some bum is bummin'
The only thing he's thinkin' about is cumin'

He gets his rocks off, now he feels like a man
Then he kills her and steps off but understand
What goes around, comes right back around
And when he's found, he's gonna get a beat down

He tried to skip town, headed for the Northbound
Got no money so he steals and gets shot down
But don't die, so now it's gonna get rougher
Before you execute him, let me see him suffer

Give him the chair, shoot him down
Let him die, better yet, huh
Hang 'em high

This just in, police officials report
That the suspect in the rape of a six year old girl
Has been apprehended
And has confessed to this outrageous crime
Let's hope they really hang this guy

Kid Capri, Silver D and Money Mark
Hang 'em high, out
