Is it a crime? Is it- A crime You never know How many niggas stood wit' you when it was smoke? (Oh, baby, love from London) How many niggas stuck by you when you was broke? How many niggas took this rap shit for a joke? (Is it a- tell me) How many niggas you done had to let go? How many niggas that survived Death Row? How many niggas tried to play Scarface? Wanna go and get tough? Don't let your time just go to waste (is it a crime?) That's why they paid me, nigga, lately, I've been on one Might pedicure the '64 and get her toes done Don't know the power of a joint until you roll one (crime) See, life's a marathon, but we gon' make it in the long run (is it a crime?) I'm just bein' cynical, tryin' to reach my pinnacle Never let 'em limit you, bend the rules, win or lose I know it's hard to digest like prison food (crime) Got a fuckin' Basquiat hangin' in my living room (is it a crime? Yeah) Shit, I've been bangin' on the set since middle school Now we out and flippin' gin and juice, makin' bigger moves Can't swim, but I got a couple swimming pools (crime) Is it a crime for me to ask for my residuals? (Is it a crime?) Poor man ask the rich man how to get cash The rich man told the poor man, "Get off yo' ass" Too many ended up in prison over bags and belts (crime) Before you make that bad decision, nigga, ask yourself (a crime) How many niggas out here stickin' to the code? How many niggas tryin' to help you reach your goals? How many niggas out here killin' over hoes? Might just be the fuckin' greatest story never told (is it a- tell me) How many dirty lawyers lied to my face? How many stayed after Murder Was the Case? How many died tryin' to play Scarface? It should be a fuckin' crime to let your talent go to waste (is it a crime?) Oh, woo Crime, is it a crime? How many niggas out here stickin' to the code? How many niggas- How many niggas- How many niggas out here stickin' to the code? (Crime) How many niggas- (help me, oh yeah, is it a crime?) How many niggas- Ooh Oh, baby, love from London Crime, is it a crime? Is it a crime? Is it a crime? Is it a crime? Is it a crime? Oh no
