[Intro]
The umm, security we have here today
Not the OPEN security
The ones, that that really sitting there
And really think, we don't know who they are!
"Now that's funky" (4x)
[Verse 1]
Crime don't pay, that's what they tell us
But that's because the other motherf**ers getting jealous
But I'm a tell you this, they neighborhood got the Goodfellas
But they come arrest us for the same sh** they sell us
Cause they don't want to see a young black n***a rollin'
Inside a nice car, nice kit, without the sh** being stolen
So they come and lock a n***a up
Meanwhile some corrupt, politician n***a is making bigger bucks
n***as getting blamed for the crystals
But we don't grow the motherf**ing coke or weed or make the f**ing pistols
n***as ain't trying to live in poverty
And a black man's lottery's a motherf**ing robbery
So yo you gotta make your best
Make a small investment and then put it to the test
Yes, cause the other motherf**ers getting over
Police don't look at a white man strange driving a Range Rover
Carrying sh** like it's minerals
The big dollar white dollar suit and tie criminals
Even the government figures
Selling sh** to the motherf**ing Columbians and rich n***as
Crime isn't time from the brothers
Hey you say it don't pay, it's paying white motherf**ers
It all depends on how you do your sh**
Cause you can learn it quick intelligent and that's it! You're well fit!
f** workin for a ba*tard
I got to see that money before my a** sees a casket
Get paid, motherf** a raise
Cause to all them improper crooked coppers, crime pays
[Hook]
"Jack you motherf**ers" (2x)
"Wake up and go for what you know.."
"Everyone's got to make a living"
"Boy I'm trying to make me some.. MONEY!!"
[Verse 2]
Stop, n***a stop, n***a freeze
But at the same time some old rich f** is driving by with twenty ki's
Because they came up with a law
To keep the rich motherf**ers rich and the poor motherf**ers poor
We take the cake you get the crumbs
Stacking up a package of cracks to sell to blacks in the slums
Guns are being sold over the counter
And you wonder why your daughter's head was slaughtered when they found her
Why did he have to shoot the b**h
But the b**h, I mean the witch, just had to switch
To make the n***a Richie Rich
Yeah, so I'm throwing you the phrase
Believe me when I tell you motherf**ing crime pays
