LYRICS FOR "Crime Story"
Hmm
S***
You know
It's off the hook
But you know real niggas survive
No regardless 'cause I'm heartless
Who is this I see
I'ma rob this nigga
For bein' stupid like
And havin' a gun that he couldn't get to
Foolish niggas learn the hard way
Be in the wrong place at the wrong time
Like Jigga said
So
From night to dawn
357 slugs with a snub nose
Settin' all you b****** straight
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
And bein' I'm tellin' you this story
It's either you or me
And more than likely
It's gonna be you
Aight? Feel me
Day 2 with the saga
Wakin' up like every 2 hours
Plus
'Cuz when they bust in
"What a waste of potential"
"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
He killed a couple of cops last night and the reward is ten grand"
I play like a b****
And that guy sounds kinda dangerous
That was a close one
'Cuz I know I'm hotter than lave
Got my dog on the horn
They a ran up in my crib
Put the harness on the dog
Murder's on my mind
M************ want war
'Cuz I'm tired of runnin'
Kamikaze mission
Run up in that joint
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
I ain't sittin' around
I bring it to 'em
What nigga? Didn't know a dog with rabies was up in the cut
Now
I'm at the precinct
Run up in there
Well
Man
Can you dig it? Can you dig it?
Can you feel it? Is you wit it?
It's off the hook
