Crime Story lyrics - DMX

Mnn

Man, uh

Shit stay happen

Ya 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, coming through, it's like 3 in the a.m

I'ma rob this nigga, and when I'm done, I'ma slay him

For being 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 holds no weight

3-57 slugs with a snub nose, trey eight

Settin' all them issues straight (what) squashing all beefs

To the point where the police be blockin' off streets

Got me trapped up in the building, but you know how that go

I stay fucking with the hood rats and I run up in the rab hole

Run through the hallway, see police, face to face

And being I'm telling 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

Aiight? Feel me, O

Day 2 of the saga, this fucking drama continues

Waking up like every 2 hours, looking out my window

Plus I keep the 4-4 pointed at the door just in case

When they bust in, I bust them and I'm gunning for the face

"What a waste of potential" is what my teachers used to tell me

"You can always get a job" and cheap shit they tried to sell me

Got me no where but broke and fucked up in the game

But now I got a name, and niggas know my name

Knock of the door "Police! We're looking for a man

Who killed a couple of cops last night and the reward is ten grand"

I play like a bitch "It's just me here, and I'm not dressed

And that guy sounds kind of dangerous, I hope you make an arrest"

That was a close one, now I know I gotta get outta the city

'Cause I know I'm hotter than lava, I'll holla tomorrow

Got my dog on the horn, he like "Fuck, you done did?!

They done ran up in my crib, nigga, patting down my kid!"

Put the harness on the dog, load up the weapons

Murder's on my mind, no half steppin'

Motherfuckers want war, you can get it

Cause I'm tired of running, remember me as the nigga that died gunning

Kamikaze mission, C-4 strapped to the chest

Run up in that joint, raw dog; fuck the vest

They can keep theirs, cause it won't be the slugs that'll kill 'em

It'll be the roar of the C-4 as I'm bringing down the building

When I go, taking a bunch of the motherfuckas with me

I ain't sitting around waiting for them faggot 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 finding out what this shit means

I'm at the precinct, 116th

Run up in there, open up my jacket "You motherfuckas looking for me?"

"Well here I am! Now you coming with me!"

Man, that shit is crazy, baby

Can you dig it, can you dig it, can you feel it, is you with it

It's off the hook y'all
