Lyrics | [Intro: Al Tariq & Raekwon] Uhh, uhh Uhh, hey uh hey What it is, what it is.. "Crime pays in mad ways" [Verse 1] Yo, yo, bust it How I was walkin' 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 Niggas 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 [Hook: Frank White & Raekwon] (repeat 2X) "From here on nuthin' goes down unless I'm involved" "Crime pays in mad ways" "No blackjack, no dope deals, no nuthin'.. You guys got FAT while everybody starved on the street" "Crime pays in mad ways" "It's my turn.." [Verse 2] 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 FREEZE! Don't make me have to load up to squeeze nigga I don't mind wettin' up yo' type try me you dirty slimy Sleazy greasy grimey - where the safe at? That's when he show and prove that he a liar Find and clean the stash and set his fuckin' crib on fire I'm yo' sire, hittin' these crooks to fix my hood Crime pays in mad ways, nigga it's all good You might also like[Hook: Frank White & Raekwon] "From here on nuthin' goes down unless I'm involved" "Crime pays in mad ways" "No blackjack, no dope deals, no nuthin'.. You guys got FAT while everybody starved on the street" "Crime pays in mad ways" "It's my turn.." [Verse 3] Bust it, I'm shoppin' Sears for wears that I can put on in Foot Locker For other soles to put my foot on, but right then and, there My vision peeps 'em, to dirty fleece 'em Thinkin' nobody sees 'em, boostin' So I exhale like Whitney Houston, then start accusin' These tricks for their intrusion, excludin' Mr. Al' Tariq from your profits, you better stop it Shorties hold to drop it, or cop it Witcha greenbacks I know you're holdin', like the feds Just some high-rollers rollin', I'm told in, your profession Money be flowin', but all I'm knowin' Is my shorties, they keep on growin', so bust it Peep the science here's the plan - I'll be your man Give me what you can And I won't ever stop y'all from boostin' in my hood Crime pays in mad ways baby it's all good [Hook: Frank White & Raekwon] "From here on nuthin' goes down unless I'm involved" "Crime pays in mad ways" "No blackjack, no dope deals, no nuthin'.. You guys got FAT while everybody starved on the street" "Crime pays in mad ways" "It's my turn.." {*"King of New York" samples and "Raekwon" scratches ad libbed to fade*} |
