Kool G Rap & DJ Polo - Crime Pays Lyrics
I'm on the verge of commitin murderMy girl is gettin on my last nerve and I don't wanna hurt herShe wants me to get a jobI get harassed cause I'm laying on my ass like a big slobBut everywhere I goI get rejectedThey won't hire a mother*****er with a jail recordSo the least I could dois look presentableBut I'm labelled by the city as a criminalThey won't give me no slack JackAnd I got one strike against me already because my skin is blackSee I'm irrelevant to Help Wanted signsAnd they wonder why niggaz commit crimesMy girl pays the rent gas and lightGoes to class at days and works at nightI'm trying to get some money I can hand to herBut I ain't with bein a mother*****in janitorPlus I got my little niggaAnd I'm tryin my best to be the right kind of father figureBut my hands is startin to shakeI'm tryin to hold my head because I'm reachin for the thirty-eightI pick it up, man *****itI gotta go out and hit the street and get some ducatsLookin for somethin to hitI throw on my hood, cause I'm about to do some stupid shitI step in the Seven-ElevenCome fast with the cash or get your ass sent to heavenHe must hit the alarm, cause I'm perspirincause now I'm hearin mother*****in sirensI tried to run out, three thousand decentNext thing I know, I'm sittin in a *****in precinctfor tryin to feed a familyI need rubber balls, cause I'm fallin off the edge of sanityEdge of Sanity (2X)What a *****ed up nightAnd I'm mad because the cop put on the handcuffs too *****in tightCentral Bookin is where they sent meSo they could take a couple of pictures after they fingerprint meThen they put me in a cellAnd it was all full of niggaz that was dirty and stinkin as hellFour hours passed already, so now I'm yawninAnd I'm hopin to see the judge in the morninFinally they call my name and I get up with speedto appear before the judge, and make a pleadI saw the judge, he was a brotherHe said, "How do you plead?" I said, "Not guilty, mother*****er!"Then I got kicked out of court, sent to the Islandwhere they got all of these young brothers wildinAnd all I seen was teenagersAnd brothers just slicin one another with straight razorsI saw this nigga, he was stone tallI said, "Yo, I gotta make this mother*****in phone call"He said, "These whores are mine, and you ain't widdit"and put his face all up in mine, so I hit itC.O.'s came, niggaz started to zingNow I gotta do about three days in the bankI did my time and now I'm back from my vacationRight on track, they put me back in populationsI got dressed, and hit the mess hallThen when I came back, FINALLY I got to make my phone callMy girl is bringin out the man in meCause she's yellin and shit, while I'm hangin on the edge of sanityEdge of Sanity (4X)I'm sittin Up North, and doin three to nineAnd it feels like my whole life is bein left behindI'm goin crazy in this placeAnd I'm countin the days, cause I'm about to be a mental caseMy little son is gettin biggerAnd he picked up the phone one day and thought I was some other niggaYeah that ***** is tryin to play me like a suckerCause on the down and low I heard another nigga *****ed herNow homicide is on my mindfor knowin that this ***** is at home, screwin while I'm doin timeAnd the nigga that's hittin the skinsis a bold mother*****er cause he's one of my own friendsBut that's alright cause I got somethin for they assesAnd when I see him I'ma smash his *****in glassesLivin in hell but now my blood is gettin coldTwo months later, I got released on paroleSo now I'm rollin colder than a blizzardI got some iron from my man and went to pay the stupid ***** a visitI'm ringin the bell like hellOh nobody's home huh? So I kicked it til the shit fellStepped in the house with my finger on the triggerButter ass nigga stuttered, "Wha-wha-what's up nigga?"My ***** was scared, cause she knew that I was steaminShe ran her ass to the back and started screamin*one shot fired* to the body *two shots fired* to the head*one shot fired* put the barrel in his mouth, makin sure he's deadAnd the police ain't cannin meinside a cell, cause I just fell off the edge of sanityEdge of Sanity (2X)
