Uhh, uhh

Uhh, hey uh hey

What it is, what it is.. "crime pays in mad ways" -> Raekwon


[Al' Tariq]

Yo, yo, bust it

How I was walkind mindin my own biz, here it is

I see these two kids bouncin, my way

Eyes blood red with venom

And somethin tellin me that I best not offend 'em

But they don't even know I got this badge

that I'm about to flash on that ass like two hits of hash

Pass by 'em, eye 'em

Peep money on the left got the toast

Niggaz ready to roast so I'm ghost

Then find another victim so I can jig 'em

Act like I'm po'-po', be like YO YO and stick 'em

Trick 'em out their currents, them dirty greens

And in the process, stoppin all the flow from fiends

It's all good cause in my hood it's better, if my baretta

give these po' folks some cheddar to the letter

A present day - Robin Hood, crime pays in mad ways nigga

It's all good


[Chorus: repeat 2X]

You guys got FAT while everybody schtraved on the street" -> F. White

"It's my turn.." -> Frank White


[Al' Tariq]

Aiyyo, I've been checkin these stick-up kids for weeks

Seein how they pull they jobs and go trick with freaks

I seeks a weakness, in their armor, so I can harm a

crimi-nal with top residu-als, I shall be back

with exact means to get him

Tighten up the grip and let these hollow points hit him




Split him, send they whole crew in mad directions

Correction, I think I'll make this other selection

Their leader, numero un', the top cheese
