AlpHaMatic - Crime Pays Lyrics




[ Featuring Doc Suess, Johnny Slash ]

It's Always in all ways, hey the crime pays,

That apple pie ain't minimum wage, no!

It's Always in all ways, put a price on everything,

Flippin' cents to grands, gotta get it ya'll!

Blue collar, white collar, ya'll get dollas,

Til' you on the beach dawg, with no collar,

Unless you talking color green!? Don't bother,

We off the books, no tax, no crooks.



Before you judge me for my criminal ways

Must I

F*ckin remind you of the minimum wage

Cause I

Ain't gonna slave away for eight & some change

I'm a leader cop a key & have it flipped in a day

I'm capitalism defined look at the castle I made

The first time I shoveled snow made a couple stacks & some change

It was then at age 10 cash in hand to explain

See I could pay the man or I could be the man gettin paid

Imagine that

Now fathom havin S.N.A.P. back in the day

To livin lavish from trappin rappin & traffickin weight

Packaging yay up to handlin & baggin some H

Crackin some safes & single-handedly kidnappin the game

They ask for paper trails stating how all our assets are made

So Uncle Sam can factor taxes & demand to get paid

Them stimulus checks were practically a slap in the face

Crime doesn't pay naw it simply just creates capital gain


It's Always in all ways, hey the crime pays,

That apple pie ain't minimum wage, no!

It's Always in all ways, put a price on everything,

Flippin' cents to grands, gotta get it ya'll!

Blue collar, white collar, ya'll get dollas,

Til' you on the beach dawg, with no collar,

Unless you talking color green!? Don't bother,

We off the books, no tax, no crooks.


Yea you know the game's fixed from the get go,

Civilians get the cheat codes, or you live poor,

Politicians rigged it to get mo, send em to gitmo,

How you gonna tell me how I can get dough?

School taught us how to make money, make money,

Had to learn what it is to take that money money!

Crime is an illusion, crime's the institution,

Thier crimes against humanity with zero persecution,

How's my time getting taxed, minimized and penalized?

That's illegitimized, now we capitalize,

As long as my kids get dinner, and feel less thinner,

As long as poppa comes home feeling like a winner, hey!

Through dark winters into brighter summers,

It sums up to survival and feeling that hunger,

Paycheck to paycheck's, hardly an investment,

Supply and demand and I'm tired of stressing ya'll.


It's Always in all ways, hey the crime pays,

That apple pie ain't minimum wage, no!

It's Always in all ways, put a price on everything,

Flippin' cents to grands, gotta get it ya'll!

Blue collar, white collar, ya'll get dollas,

Til' you on the beach dawg, with no collar,

Unless you talking color green!? Don't bother,

We off the books, no tax, no crooks.
