2 Live Crew - You Got Larency Lyrics
[what you here for, buddy?][larceny.][how much time you get?][99 years.]Verse 1: [brother marquis]Talk about, why? spreadin' rumors, tellin' liesI'm real sensitive to the factOf why must you go out like thatYou can't say nothin' positiveAll i get are negative responsesThey say it's hard to keep a good man downBut it's not hard to have one up off the groundHe said, she said, this-n-thatBut who's tellin' the truth? it ain't like thatI knew somethin' was wrong, i knew it all alongBut nobody told me what was goin' onSo just stop ... all this disrespect'cause now is the time for me to put you in checkThey say the truth hurts, but don't get mad at meI'm talkin' to those who got larcenyVerse 2: [fresh kid ice]Larceny, meaning bein' jealous-heartedOver little or nothin', it can get startedFor example, a man wants to get aheadOthers wish he failed and rather see him deadAlways puttin' obstacles in your pathIt becomes a problem you shouldn't haveIt's like a disease spreadin' faster than aidsThe word is out, they misspelled your namePeople look at you a little strangeYou gain more foes as your lifestyle change'They want what you got, that's the dollars that you clockTo you it's petty but to them it's a lotMaterial things they couldn't retainStill hopin' your loss will be their gainYet we strive to stay alive and live carefreeOthers still have that larcenyVerse 3: [fresh kid ice]You'll shake my hand, pretend to be my friendAnd behind my back, wish it all would endPeople mention my name, you'll frown your faceHopin' in your dreams you'll take my placeThe things that i own you wish you hadEvery time i do good it makes you madYou're not a friend to me, just an enemyA sucker that rhymes, a wanna be[brother marquis]You wanna be like me, only in your dreamsYou wanna be down, but you gotta come cleanRockin' boomin' beats on every cut2 live's in effect, why you sweatin' us?Wishin' you had all the money i've madeAnd all the females that i've slayedYou hate me, boy, now ain't that a pityYou ain't got the vapors, you got larceny
