Bad Luck Barry Bad Luck Barry [Doctor Ice] Let me tell you a story about a friend of mine The boy had terrible luck all the time You know, the boy was goin' crazy, he was goin' berserk 'Cause everything he tried to do, it would not work 'Cause he's (Bad Luck Barry) Who is he? (Bad Luck Barry) Example Goin' to the store to buy some tea and honey Barry went into the store and forgot the money Ran to get the money and without a doubt My man knucklehead got locked out And when he finally got in, he got the money I suppose Ran back, and the store was closed 'Cause he's (Bad Luck Barry) Who is he? (Bad Luck Barry) Example Remember the time he had a sho' 'nuff winner Invited the girl to his crib for dinner Had a steak in the oven for this girl named Dawn Got to the crib and forgot to turn in on I know you're all saying you hung out with this worm The reason why? 'Cause his sister was firm He went to a club he never heard of before He wanted to get loose on the dance floor He slipped and slided into his dance A sound went rip, he split his pants He bought some def shoes from DeLancey Street And when he put 'em on, they were two left feet He got a watch for a present, oh, what a surprise The watch ticks counterclockwise I remember the time we double dated My girl came but he waited and waited When she waddled in, she moved slow as molasses I bet she couldn't see him with her bulletproof glasses When we finally went out, he said "Good, at last" And while we was eating, she had to pass gas (Bad Luck Barry) Who is he? (Bad Luck Barry) Break it down Don't you feel sorry for Bad Luck Barry? I said don't you feel sorry for Bad Luck Barry? [Kangol Kid] Well, did you know long ago when Barry was born Though Barry survived, everyone thought he was gone? When I say "gone", I mean they thought he was dead 'Cause when the doctor said "Push", Barry fell on his head The injury was minor, they thought it was worse And ever since that day he was eternally cursed As the years went by the curse didn't retire His birthday came around and his cake caught on fire The flames caught on and everything got hot And that house they called a home is now a parking lot (Bad Luck Barry) Who is he? (Bad Luck Barry) Barry's bad luck had so many segments He never had sex 'cause thought he'd get pregnant So he just said "Forget it", and decided to chill 'Til his mother put him on the birth control pill He tried to take a lady's pocketbook and run He pulled out a knife, so she pulled out a gun He said that he was sorry so she wouldn't get mad Then the lady robbed Barry for all he had Later on, he took this girl to the discotheque He was looking alright, but she was more like a pet Then the bodyguard stepped into the middle of the crowd Said "Barry, you can stay, but no pets allowed" (Bad Luck Barry) Who is he? (Bad Luck Barry) Havin' bad luck's no good for your health 'Cause one day Barry said "I'm gonna kill myself" Put a gun to his head, fully at his risk Pulled the trigger, BANG, and Barry missed His luck's so bad, he can't commit suicide He lived, but the person next to him died He's the worst there is, and there ain't no doubt And if you think that's bad then check this out He never kissed a girl without gettin' slapped Any mirror he looks into will crack I once told him that world wasn't round, it's flat He looked at me and said, "Man, I've been there and back" You can break someone's heart if you get in thick But you can't show an old dog new tricks If you said "Watch your step", Barry, he would fall In other words, he has no hope at all Bad Luck Barry Bad Luck Barry
