Yeah, yeah (It's a wave)

Crime pays, crime pays (Yeah)

Yeah, yeah

Crime pays, nigga, crime pays

Choppin' up this change with cocaine in my microwave

Made it through my whole month with my lights out, I seen brighter days

Watch this shit get me high, boy, you live and you die by this game

Homeboy just caught HIV, he lived and he died by his ho

Have we ever hit the same bitch before? Ain't nobody know

Have we ever hit the same bitch before? Wasn't nobody business

Niggas be fuckin' these hoes and say, "Fuck insurance and doctor visits"

Fly like the wind, it's time to begin your life

(Say, "Fuck insurance and doctor visits")

You've got control to start again and do it right

Look to the sky and you will feel how to live a life that's real (That's real)

To the perfect harmony, when the spirit is free (Yeah, yeah)

Crime pays, nigga, crime pays

Choppin' up this change with cocaine in my microwave

Diamonds in my chain, yeah, I slang but I'm still a slave

Twisted in the system, just a number listed on the page

Made it through my whole month with my lights out, I seen brighter days

Watch this shit get me high, boy, you live and you die by this game

Bitch, don't touch my body

'Cause I put your body all off in a bodyslam

You ain't gon' hurt nobody

Go body for body but we the body gang

The ho that you brought out to Cali

But she only fuckin' with you 'cause you fuckin' with Kane

Thought she was boostin' her credit

With niggas like you that just ain't got enough on their name

Thought I would front you another one

Niggas like you that just ain't got enough on the books

Talkin' that shit in the booth but when niggas come shoot at you

You couldn't do nothin' but look

My niggas done bust a four nickel on your nigga

Bust him, now he on a shit bag

His homie done borrowed a car and he got it shot up

Now I know that his bitch mad

He steadily called up my phone and you huffin' and puffin'

'Cause they at your bitch, duckin'

And Rocky done went and bought Jeezy a pair of new shoes

That nigga was dick-suckin', yeah

Fly like the wind, it's time to begin your life (Dick suckin'-ass nigga)

You've got control to start again and do it right (That nigga was dick suckin')

Look to the sky and you will feel how to live a life that's real

To the perfect harmony, when the spirit is free

Crime pays, nigga, crime pays

Yeah, crime pays, nigga, crime pays

Crime pays, nigga, crime pays

We champion people

This station rules the nation with version

Huh!
