Crime Pays lyrics
by Madlib
[Intro]
Yeah, yeah (It's a wave)
Crime pays, crime pays (Yeah)
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1]
Crime pays, n*gga, crime pays
Choppin' up this change with cocaine in my microwave
Made it through my whole month with my lights out, I seen brighter days
Watch this sh*t get knee-high, boy, you live and you die by this game
Homeboy just caught HIV, he lived and he died by his ho
Have we ever hit the same b*tch before? Ain't nobody know
Have we ever hit the same b*tch before? Wasn't nobody business
n*ggas be f*ckin' these hoes and say f*ck insurance and doctor visits
[Bridge]
Fly like the wind, it's time to begin your life
(n*ggas be sellin' dope and say f*ck insurance and doctor visits)
You've got control to start again and do it right
Look to the sky and you will feel how to live a life that's real (That's real)
Truth and perfect harmony, when the spirit is free
[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah
Crime pays, n*gga, crime pays
Choppin' up this change with cocaine in my microwave
Diamonds in my chain, yeah, I sling, but I'm still a slave
Twisted in the system, just a number listed on the page
Made it through my whole month with my lights out, I seen brighter days
Watch this sh*t get knee-high, boy, you live and you die by this game
b*tch, don't touch my body 'cause I'll put your body all off in a body sling
You ain't gon' hurt nobody, go body for body, boy, we the body gang
The ho that you brought out to Cali', boy, she only f*ckin' with you 'cause you f*ckin' with Kane
Thought she was boostin' her credit with n*ggas like you that just ain't got enough on they name
Thought I would front you another one n*ggas like you that just ain't got enough on the books
Talkin' that sh*t in the booth, but when n*ggas come shoot at you, you couldn't do nothin' but look
My n*ggas done bust a four nickel on your n*gga, bust him, now he on a sh*t bag
His homie done borrowed a car and he got it shot up, now I know that his b*tch mad
He steadily called up my phone and you huffin' and puffin' 'cause they had your b*tch duckin'
And Roccett done went and bought Jeezy a pair of new shoes, that n*gga was di*k-suckin', goddamn (di*k suckin'-ass n*gga)
[Bridge]
Fly like the wind, it's time to begin your life
(That n*gga was di*k suckin')
You've got control to start again and do it right
Look to the sky and you will feel how to live a life that's real
Truth and perfect harmony, when the spirit is free
[Outro]
Crime pays, n*gga, crime pays
Yeah, crime pays, n*gga, crime pays
Crime pays, n*gga, crime pays
We champion people
This station rules the nation with version
Huh
