802 do work

Tale Of Two Cities, was the name of the book
I read it so fast, they call me captain hook
It was a couple pages, two hundred or so
But to get the full meaning, I'll go over it slow

I read the whole thing, didn't miss a chapter
No spark notes nothing, they call me the raptor
The book's a little boring, a couple of times
But after this rap, you'll be singin' my rhymes

The book was writin', by a man named Dickens
As you go further, the story thickens
It may get confusing, or hard to get
But when im done with this song, you won't forget

Now to start things off, we'll have to bring you back
It's the seventeen hundreds, and the times are whack
The setting takes place in England and France
Everything looks good at first glance

"Recalled to life," is an important part
You discover a man, with a bleeding heart
He was thrown in prison, for some odd years
Finally got out, and made shoes like engineers

This man had a daughter, that he'd never met
It was a pretty blonde girl: Lucie Manette
Lucie met her father, for the very first time
Which is the soul reason, for writin' this rhyme

So Darnay's in jail and the future seems grim
Revolutionary's takin' names and hackin' off limbs
The court date comes and the French are on their toes
When the doctor steps up and throws it down on them Joe's

Our boys got a name that could cause some worry
Fills the jury up with fury, fury'atin in a hurry
But this man is clean, says I to you
Plus I'm a man from north tower, wanna scope my tatoo?




Darnay is freed and the crowd is lifted
They raise him to the heavens and they dancin' like they twisted
Reunitin with his lady, feelin' mighty swell
Till the Poe 9 front and throw him back in the cell

Hope is lost. Our boy is through
Guilty for his ancestor's ultimate taboo
Darnay is surely finished with his rollin' of the dice
When Sydney carton throws down a true sacrifice

Your ladies hot and your kid needs you
My life is in the gutter, I know what I got'ta do
So with a quick switch of threads our boy is withdrawn
Sydney Carton takes the fall, and life goes on
