LYRICS FOR "Crime Story"

Hmm, man, uh
S***, stay happen
You know, it's Crazy Dog

It's off the hook
But you know real niggas survive
No regardless 'cause I'm heartless

Who is this I see, comin' through? It's like 3 on the a.m.
I'ma rob this nigga, when I'm done, I'ma slay him
For bein' stupid like, comin' through after 1 or 2
And havin' a gun that he couldn't get to, yeah, that one'll do

Foolish niggas learn the hard way, then I teach 'em
Be in the wrong place at the wrong time, then I leach 'em
Like Jigga said, niggas test you when your gun goes warm
So, I keep 'em scattering like roaches, when the light turns off

From night to dawn, right from wrong, hope no way
357 slugs with a snub nose, dray eight
Settin' all you b****** straight, what? Squashin' all beefs
To the point where the police be blockin' all streets

They got me trapped up in the building but you know how that go
I stay f****** with the hood rats and I run up in the rab hole
Run through the hallway, see police, face to face
And bein' I'm tellin' you this story, means I caught another case

It's either you or me
And more than likely
It's gonna be you, than me
Aight? Feel me, yo

Day 2 with the saga, this f*****' drama continues
Wakin' up like every 2 hours, lookin' out my window
Plus, I keep the 44 pointed at the door, just in case
'Cuz when they bust in, I bust them and I'm gunnin' for the face

"What a waste of potential", is what my teachers used to tell me
"You can always get a job" and cheap s*** they tried to sell me
Got me no where but broke and f***** up in the game
But now I got a name and niggas know my name

Knock of the door, "Police, we lookin' for a man
He killed a couple of cops last night and the reward is ten grand"
I play like a b****, "Its just me here and I'm not dressed
And that guy sounds kinda dangerous, I hope you make an arrest"

That was a close one, now I know I gota get outta the city
'Cuz I know I'm hotter than lave, I'm holla the mouth
Got my dog on the horn, he like, "F***, you done did it
They a ran up in my crib, nigga, pattin' down my kid"

Put the harness on the dog, load up the weapons
Murder's on my mind, uh, no half steppin'
M************ want war, you can get it
'Cuz I'm tired of runnin', remember me as the nigga that died gunnin'

Kamikaze mission, C-4 strapped to the chest
Run up in that joint, raw dog, f*** the vest
They can keep theirs because it won't be the slugs that'll kill 'em
It'll be the raw of the C-4 as I'm bringin' down the building

When I go, taking a bunch of the m************ with me
I ain't sittin' around, waiting for them fagot niggas to come and get me
I bring it to 'em, service with a smile
What nigga? Didn't know a dog with rabies was up in the cut, nigga?

Now, that you finally findin' out what this s*** means
I'm at the precinct, on a 116th
Run up in there, open up my jacket, "You muthafuckers lookin' for me?"
Well, here I am, "Now you comin' with me"

Man, that s*** is crazy, baby
Can you dig it? Can you dig it?
Can you feel it? Is you wit it?
It's off the hook, y'all
