Crime Pays

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 [bad word] gettin jealous
But I'ma tell you this, they neighborhood got the Goodfellas
But they come arrest us for the same [bad word] they sell us
Cause they don't want to see a young black [bad word] rollin
inside a nice car, nice kit, without the [bad word] bein stolen
So they come and lock a [bad word] up
Meanwhile some corrupt, politician [bad word] is makin bigger bucks
Niggaz gettin blamed for the crystals; but we don't grow
the [bad word] coke or weed or make the [bad word] pistols
Niggaz ain't tryin to live in poverty
And a black man's lottery's a [bad word] 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 [bad word] gettin over
Police don't look at a WHITE MAN strange drivin a Range Rover
Carrying [bad word] like it's minerals
The big dollar white dollar suit and tie criminals
Even the government figures
Sellin [bad word] to the [bad word] Columbians and rich niggaz
Crime isn't time from the brothers
Hey you say it don't pay, it's payin white [bad word] 
It all depends on how you do your [bad word] 
Cause either learn it quick intelligent and that's it
("I beg your pardon?") You're well [bad word]  [bad word] workin for a [bad word] 
I gotta see that money before my [bad word] sees a casket
Get paid, [bad word] a raise
Cause to all them improper crooked coppers, crime pays

"Wake up and go for what you know.."
"Everybody's got to make a living"
"Boy I'm trying to make me some.. MONEY!!"
