music by A. Philipp & F.G. Jansen / lyrics by A. Philipp  


Sometimes you feel not understood
a freak, a jerk, just no good
inevatable situation, you’re full of frustration
but who’s to blame? You or the nation?
You see the big bucks and your life that sucks
so what ya gonna do when yo opportunity knocks
‘Cause crime doesn’t pay off, that’s a fact
you better start thinkin’ before you act

Crime..... doesn’t pay off, that’s a fact

Get into something heavy, get into somethin’ smart
You meet the right people and you have good start
now you’re bad ass motherfucker, hardcore player
clockin’, hustlin’, just do what they say ya’
Dealin’ some of this, stealin’ some of that
you think you’re so cool , but you’re nothin’ but a rat
what it comes down to, ya sonofabitch
It’s other peoples misery that got you rich.

Crime..... doesn’t pay off, that’s a fact

It’s all about money, 
dreams of the land of milk and honey
make a rainy day be sunny, funny
‘cause nothing turns out the way you want it
everything feels like you’ve been haunted
by the crimes you did, ‘cause now you give a shit
you’ve been hit by the truth 
‘Cause crime doesn’t pay off, that’s a fact
you better start thinkin’ before you act

Crime Time, yeah he yeah
