Young Buck - Crime Pays lyrics

State to state, slippin slate nigga
This for the block nigga
E'ry nigga out there who
God damnit maintainin
Off slangin 'caine and all dem, thangs
And y'knowwhatI'mtalkinbout I feel that
(I feel that) see I done been in that
Situation where niggaz flip birds
Y'all know the gangsta, lil' young nigga
Who thugged out all night on the curb
Came up from a GRAM

And bitch I got 'em warrin for 10-5
The new nigga in town
I'm the king of this drug ring
Just waitin to be crowned
You havin money by the ton
I got thousands by the pound
And the urge to splurge for all
You niggaz want an ounce
Ain't no problem with the product


Long as you got the amount
And every bit of my fetti
Cause every bit of it count
I'ma roll in the low, rain snow hot or cold
Finish my narcotics and put my
Bitches on the road
First nigga try and jack
Watch murder go kill them hoes
All white, no crack, how I get it, how it go
17 years old, I'm rappin 10 at a time
To me, front shit ain't punk shit
Long as I get mine
And we can get down to shine
No more sellin them dimes
Put 20's on our rides
Fuck hoes with thick thighs
Then maybe you can see, how it is to be rich
You ain't heard about a nigga?
I be servin them bricks

Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
If crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
If crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
If crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
Look - if crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip

I've survived off this cocaine game
And it's a strain to my brain
To front a nigga a thang
'bout mine he won't complain
Conversation rule the nation
Y'all niggaz know the sayin
Prayin I don't catch ya wit'cha watch
I'll take ya out the picture
Money run the country
Similar to Adolf Hitler
Always been to drugs but see
It's different kind of dealers
You pay what you weigh, or should I say
Get my scrilla not tomorrow but today, okay
It's on the real'a
I ain't tryin to be a killer
Just a nigga 'bout his cheddar
And I ain't got it
You can't cancel the bill collector
Coulda been did your rump
Put your family in the middle
But I chose to be a man
And keep it on that level
Your potnahs done told you about
This young runnin rebel
And the load he carries behind
If I can't get mine
So robbin niggaz blind is the
Way I'ma play the game
Gotta respect my mind and if
You don't you still payin

Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
If crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
If crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
If crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
Look - if crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip

I'm a 100% for the Presidents
I never been hesitant
To leave 'em layin with no evidence
Gotta make the best of this, stack my cheese
Then come back and get the rest of it
Transportin ki's
In the Benz with the leather kit
Ride with me when you hear that Desert Eagle
Click it's world war 3
This ain't how it 'posed to be
But ain't no fuckin role model
Besides people down in hell
Still want ice water
Now how you livin nigga? When hard times come
Can you stand prison nigga
Or you gon' run yo' tongue?
What's that on yo' arm? You feel
Like it make a man?
Well let me get that and yo' charm
But turn around and count to 10
Can't turn soldier in one day
The thug gotta just be within
Your blood or yo' family
The streets gon' tell how good you been
But see I'm a young nigga edited in his face
Since 12 I had a triple
Beam servin them cakes

Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
If crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
If crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
If crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
Nightfall to sunshine, 24 hour shifts
Look - if crime didn't pay
I'd be still on the strip
