The umm, security we have here today
Not the OPEN security
The ones, that that really sittin there
And really think, we don't know who they are!
"Now that's funky" (4X)
Kool G. Rap
Crime don't pay, that's what they tell us
But that's because the other motherfkers gettin jealous
But I'ma tell you this, they neighborhood got the Goodfellas
But they come arrest us for the same s**t they sell us
Cause they don't want to see a young black nigg* rollin
inside a nice car, nice kit, without the s**t bein stolen
So they come and lock a nigg* up
Meanwhile some corrupt, politician nigg* is makin bigger bucks
gettin blamed for the crystals; but we don't grow
the motherfkin coke or weed or make the fkin pistols
ain't tryin to live in poverty
And a black man's lottery's a motherfkin robbery
So yo you gotta make your best
Make a small investment and then put it to the test ("I know!")
Yes, cause the other motherfkers gettin over
Police don't look at a WHITE MAN strange drivin a Range Rover
Carrying s**t like it's minerals
The big dollar white dollar suit and tie criminals
Even the government figures
Sellin s**t to the motherfkin Columbians and rich
Crime isn't time from the brothers
Hey you say it don't pay, it's payin white motherfkers
It all depends on how you do your s**t
Cause either learn it quick intelligent and that's it
("I beg your pardon?") You're well fittin
fk workin for a b*stard
I gotta see that money before my as* sees a casket
Get paid, motherfk a raise
Cause to all them improper crooked coppers, crime pays
"Jack you motherfkers" (2X)
"Wake up and go for what you know.."
"Everybody's got to make a living"
"Boy I'm trying to make me some.. MONEY!!"
Kool G. Rap
Stop, nigg* stop, nigg* freeze
But at the same time, some old rich fk, is drivin by with twenty ki's
Because they came up with a law
to keep the rich motherfkers rich and the poor motherfkers poor
We take the cake you get the crumbs
Stackin up a package of cracks, to sell to blacks in the slums
Guns are bein 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*tch
but the b*tch I mean the witch just had to switch
to make the nigg* Richie Rich
Yeah, so I'm throwin you the phrase
Believe me when I tell you motherfkin crime pays
