Crime Pays - Kool G. Rap & DJ Polo

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