"The Here's What Happened" Rap
from the episode "Mr. Monk and the Rapper"
as performed by Snoop Dog
Here's what happened, y'all
I got this, Monk
Yeah, you can't believe
what you hear all the time
Sometimes seeing is believing
Like the man said, I was set up
I'm just a pawn in this game
Let me break it down for y'all
No, for real here's what happened
Have you ever been accused?
Man you got set up
And it really wasn't you?
Man you got set up
Tryin’ to plant somethin’ on me
Man you got set up
And then you say I killed the homey
This fool was greedy
Had to have the whole thing
Let me run it down to you
It's a cold game
He wanted more than half of the pie
That's why his partner had to die
You heard me
You was the target all along
Am I right or am I wrong?
Monk: You're making a lot of excellent points. He is.
Every week they had a breakfast date
Captain Crunch, French toast, or a stack of pancakes
But this week they wasn't servin’ nothin'
But murder on the plate
(In close captions, but not in the rap as broadcast:
The limo driver must have
caught a glimpse of Denny Hodges
As he fled the scene, Homes.)
He wanted to pin it on me like a purple heart
But his perfect plan just fell apart
‘Cause like Aaron Burr who was tried for treason
You made a mistake, Dog, forgot about the season
There was a fatal flaw to the perfect crime
You see Sunday was daylight savings time
Twice a year we reset the clock ahead one hour,
But I guess you forgot
You're partner showed up to break some bread
What he found was an empty table instead
You didn't order room service
Because you thought the homey whitey was dead
Extra Large ran out of luck
When the limo came by and picked him up
The pocket watch up under the car
The trigger went boom and there went Extra Large
Have you ever been accused?
Man you got set up
And it really wasn't you?
Man you got set up
Tryin' to plant somethin' on me
Man you got set up
And then you say I killed the homey
I went to the source and found a great detective
I told Adrian Monk to follow my direction
He solved the case
and he rocked it well
Next stop for you Denny Hodges
Is a Death Row jail cell
