[Intro]
Yeah, yeah (it's a wave)
Crime pays
C-c-c-crime pays (yeah)
Yeah, yeah

[Freddie Gibbs]
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 knee high boy, you live and you die by this game
Homeboy just caught HIV, he lived and he died by his hoe
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"

[Chorus: sample w/ Freddie Gibbs ad-libs]
"Fly like the wind, it's time to begin your life
 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
 Truth and perfect harmony, when the spirit is, freeee"

[Freddie Gibbs]
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 knee 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 body sling
You ain't gon' hurt nobody, go body for body but we the body gang
The ho you brought out to Cali, boy 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 bustin', 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 Roc, he done went and bought Jeezy pair of new shoes, that nigga was dick suckin', yeah!

[Chorus]

[Gibbs over Chorus]
Dick suckin' ass nigga
...That nigga was dick suckin'
Like Puffy with the cheesecake

[Freddie Gibbs]
Crime pays nigga, crime pays... yeah
Crime pays nigga, crime pays
Crime pays nigga, crime pays

[Outro]
We champion people
This station rules the nation with version
Huh!
