(Intro)
When I was only 13 my mama told me money don't grow on trees
'Til I seen the stripper at onyx rate ones fall like leaves
Confused the hell out of me
(Hook)
I don't know what they been but I know what they been
Ask the niggers that be here tonight know that crime pays
Tryin' to money money,make money money
'Cause crime pays
So they take money money,take money money
(Verse)
Early in the morning he like my head get mine
First thing he do is brush his teeth then pray to God
Out here hustling 'cause he can't do a 9 to 5
Cops should thank him 'cause without him they won't have a job
And this is only the beginning
Even though the consequence are death or prison
It's a slight posibility he can make a killing
Then turn a drug dealing money into a better living
Now that's what I call getting away with murder
Living like a king but you came from flipping burgers
You're onto your cop so you ain't never had to serve a day
In the pen, plus you got the best lawyers
Don't settle no, don't settle no
Do whatever you gotta do to get it all 'cause
You never know,you never know
Just how far you can get from selling low
We wanna be Mitch,Al Pacino
Luciano,Mino, Old Dog, Frank White
See all these youngs niggers wanna be like
(Hook)
I don't know what they been but I know what they been
Ask the niggers that be here tonight know that crime pays
Tryin' to money money,make money money
'Cause crime pays
So they take money money,take money money
(Verse)
Blowing red lights in your revue
Hoping that your niggers got the weed on 'em
Say hello to the bad guys
They break laws then they going to write scripts on them
Ghetto kids don't wanna be cops anymore
All my friends always wished to be Scarface
'Cause power plus bitches equals no worries plus riches
The fat nun in stiches
Multiplying the dream my nigga that's what this is
The good guys finish last,
They never thought to stack in class
The Sya Chemo he was my role model
The nigger Gaddafi he was my role model
If that's the only thing you see
Who do you expect me to be
We wanna be Mitch,Al Pacino
Luciano,Mino, Old Dog, Frank White
See all these youngs niggers wanna be
(Hook)
I don't know what they been but I know what they been
Ask the niggers that be here tonight know that crime pays
Tryin' to money money,make money money
'Cause crime pays
So they take money money,take money money
