The Mouse Rap

You can call me Mouse, ’cause that’s my tag I’m into it all, everything’s my bag my ace is Styx, he’ll always do Add Bev and Sheri, and you got my crew

…and a crew it is! For fourteen-year-old Mouse, this summer is anything but boring. His father, who checked out from the family eight years ago, is now trying to make a comeback as a dad. Beverly, a new girl from California, seems to like locking lips with the Mouse–but she seems to like other guys, as well. Sheri is trying to persuade the gang to join a dance contest. And there’s a rumor that a lot of money–the loot from a ’30’s bank heist, to be exact–is hidden somewhere in an abandoned Harlem building, and you know the Mouse is determined to get a piece of that action.
