Al'tariq – Crime Pays lyrics
Uhh, uhh
Uhh, hey uh hey
What it is, what it is.. "crime pays in mad ways" -> Raekwon
[Al' Tariq]
Yo, yo, bust it
How I was walkind mindin my own biz, here it is
I see these two kids bouncin, my way
Eyes blood red with venom
And somethin tellin me that I best not offend 'em
But they don't even know I got this badge
That I'm about to flash on that ass like two hits of hash
Pass by 'em, eye 'em
Peep money on the left got the toast
Niggaz ready to roast so I'm ghost
Then find another victim so I can jig 'em
Act like I'm po'-po', be like yo yo and stick 'em
Trick 'em out their currents, them dirty greens
And in the process, stoppin all the flow from fiends
It's all good cause in my hood it's better, if my baretta
Give these po' folks some cheddar to the letter
A present day - Robin Hood, crime pays in mad ways nigga
It's all good
[Chorus: repeat 2X]
"From here on nothing goes down unless I'm involved" -> Frank White
"crime pays in mad ways" -> Raekwon
"No blackjack, no dope deals, no nothing..
You guys got fat while everybody schtraved on the street" -> F. White
"crime pays in mad ways" -> Raekwon
"It's my turn.." -> Frank White
[Al' Tariq]
Aiyyo, I've been checkin these stick-up kids for weeks
Seein how they pull they jobs and go trick with freaks
I seeks a weakness, in their armor, so I can harm a
Crimi-nal with top residu-als, I shall be back
With exact means to get him
Tighten up the grip and let these hollow points hit him
Split him, send they whole crew in mad directions
Correction, I think I'll make this other selection
Their leader, numero un', the top cheese
