The song "Children's Story" by Everlast tells the story of a young boy who is misled by another boy to engage in criminal activities, such as robbing people for money. As they continue to rob more people, the boy with the gun becomes more dangerous and reckless. Eventually, he encounters a police officer who tries to apprehend him, but the boy pulls out a gun and threatens the officer. Fearing the consequences, the boy decides to run away instead. In his escape, he injures an old man, hides in an abandoned building, and seeks help from a drug addict. The boy ends up stealing a car, leading to a high-speed chase with the police. Although he runs out of bullets, he holds a pregnant woman hostage briefly before ultimately releasing her. The story ends tragically as the boy is surrounded by police officers, drops his gun, and is shot by the cops. The lyrics highlight the destructive consequences of choosing the wrong path and the harsh realities of the choices one makes in life.
