Songtexte Iz It A Crime? - Snoop Dogg feat. October London

Is it a crime?
Is it-
You never know (you never know)

How many niggas stood with you when it was smoke?
How many niggas stuck by you when you was broke
How many niggas took this rap shit for a joke
How many niggas you done had to let go

How many niggas didn't survive death row? (death row)
How many niggas tried to play scarface?
When the goin' get tough
Don't let your talents go to waste (go to waste)

That's why they pay 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 once
See life's a marathon

But we gonna make it in the long run
I'm just being cynical, tryna reach my pinnacle
Never let them limit you bend the rules win or lose (win or lose)
I know it's hard to digest like prison food

Got a fucking basquiat hanging in my living room (yeah)
Shit I've been banging on the set since middle school
Now we out here flipping gin and juice
Making bigger moves (bigger moves)
Can't swim but I got a couple swimming pools
Is it a crime for me to ask for my residuals

Poor man asked the rich man how to get cash
The rich man told the poor man get off your ass
Too many ended up in prison over bags and belts
Before you make that bad decision
Nigga ask yourself (ask yourself)

How many niggas out there sticking to the code? (to the code)
How many niggas out trying to help you reach your goal?
(reach your goal)
How many niggas out here killing over hoes? (How many?)

Might just be the fucking greatest story never told (never told)
How many dirty lawyers lied to my face? (lied to my face)
How many stayed after murder was the case? (was the case)
How many died trying to play scarface? (scarface)
It should be a fucking crime to let your talent go to waste
(go to waste)

(Oh woo)
(Crime, is it a crime)
How many niggas out there sticking to the code? (to the code)
(How many niggas) (How many niggas)
How many niggas out there sticking to the code? (code)
(How many niggas) (How many niggas)
(Oh baby) (Hoo)

Is it, a crime?
Is it, a crime?
Is it, a crime?
Is it, a crime? (Oh no)
