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

 "Jack you motherfuckers" (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, nigga stop, nigga freeze
 But at the same time, some old rich fuck, is drivin by with twenty ki's
 Because they came up with a law
 to keep the rich motherfuckers rich and the poor motherfuckers 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 bitch
 but the bitch I mean the witch just had to switch
 to make the nigga Richie Rich
 Yeah, so I'm throwin you the phrase
 Believe me when I tell you motherfuckin crime pays
