"Children's Story" is a masterclass in narrative rap, serving as a cautionary tale about the perils of a life of crime. The song follows a young man's descent from petty robbery to a fatal confrontation with an undercover police officer. The track's distinctive musical backdrop is built on a piano interpolation of the bassline from Bob James' 1974 instrumental "Nautilus," which Rick said he chose for its "gritty city edge." Upon its release, "Children's Story" became a commercial success, reaching the top five on both the Billboard Hot Black Singles and Hot Rap Singles charts and remaining a foundational and frequently sampled track in hip-hop.
