Saw Cradle playin' in the schoolyard one day 
Pretty young boy-
I takes him home to play 
Soon we was hangin'-
Venice alleyway 
Robbin' the cradle-
No-Cradle 
Rob and me 
Rob and me lived on the same block 
He's kinny garden 
I in knee socks 
He goin' play doctor over by the docks 
Robbin' the cradle-
No-Cradle 
Rob and me 
Cradle's still fresh in junior high 
Rob ain't so fresh at fourteen 
Me, I was just the last word 
Ooo have you heard the heresay 
I was robbin' the cradle 
No, it wasn't that way 
I 'member one day back in seventy-four 
When Cradle's mamma said it wasn't cute no more 
I was three years too old for them to ignore 
She said I was robbin' the cradle 
But it was 
Cradle Rob and me 
We hung around about a year after that '
Til Rob found another girl to put his hair in plaits 
And I said, "Girl, don't you worry me And we'll have none of that" 
Robbin' the cradle-no-
Cradle Rob and me 
Crae's semi fresh in college now 
Rob ain't so fresh at nineteen 
Me, well I'm still the last word 
Ooo have your heard the heresay 
I was robbin' the cradle-no-it wasn't that way 
Robbin' the cradle
