Kool G Rap & DJ Polo Crime Pays Lyrics

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

"Jack you m_________ers" (2X)
"Wake up and go for what you know.."
"Everybody's got to make a living"
"Boy I'm trying to make me some.. MONEY!!"

[Kool G. Rap]
Stop, n____ stop, n____ freeze
But at the same time, some old rich f___, is drivin by with twenty ki's
Because they came up with a law
to keep the rich m_________ers rich and the poor m_________ers poor
We take the cake you get the crumbs
Stackin up a package of cracks, to sell to blacks in the slums
Guns are bein sold over the counter
And you wonder why your daughter's head was slaughtered when they found her
Why did he have to shoot the b____
but the b____ I mean the witch just had to switch
to make the n____ Richie Rich
Yeah, so I'm throwin you the phrase
Believe me when I tell you m_________in crime pays
