Louis K. Burrell - Crime Story lyrics

[Chorus] Crime stories You get, boy, no glory Not in these crime stories I'm tellin' you right now, no glory Scene I Too Big and the Hammer rollin' on a hit Knives in our hands to the sound of the click And now we're ready, we hit the swoove Windows ease down we spray their crews Eight fools dead, a baby too You ask me how I'm livin', this hit's for you But that's not all we got the prize A mother in a kitchen, now yo, she's dead inside Yeah, we took them s**ers out They know what time it is now [Chorus] Scene II, me and Too Big at the club Too Big and the Hammer kickin' it at the club Boastin' about the way that we pulled those s**er's plugs We weren't worried, naw, we didn't care When you're in this war, yo, all is fair A tap on my shoulder, I turn around Too Big is dyin' fast, he's on the ground I reach for my gat, it was too late The knives went pointblank range in my face Yo, they opened fire and took me out Somebody tell my mother, I love her, man [Chorus] Scene III, the pimpin' game Now I'm pimpin' these berries, got to get that money Those s**ers still payin' for a little bit of honey Nothin' in this world can stop my flow AIDS ain't done nothin' but help my business grow My babes are trained to make that dollar To take you out, fool, it ain't no bother You dropped your pants and you pay the price Your money maybe AIDS, fool, and then your life Yeah, that's right cause a pimp got to make it You know what I'm sayin' We're talkin' about crime stories And I ain't givin' up no propers, no glory [Chorus] Scene IV, the pimp got took out by Barry's brother We got this tip on some new fresh bait Money in their heads and they could hardly wait My girls went to their room to make the play Two s**ers at once, yeah, would make my day Now I'm outside some s**ers walk up Talkin' real hard about smokin' my bu*t He pushed the bu*ton, the blade came out Cut me on my throat and then a bullet in my mouth I guess the devil got all the babes in hell Maybe he'll let me work with him? Ssh [Chorus] And I'd like to say this before we get outta here To my brothers in the game, my brothers Who are out there doin' what they feel they've got to do I wanna ask you one favor, let's let the young kids 10, 11, 12 years old Let's let them go on and do their thing at the schoolhouse Let's give them a chance to make it Let's give them a chance at a different life You doin' what you feel you have to do But they youngsters and they don't know any better So we want to give them a chance to live I mean life is precious, and you know that yourself And you try to make a better life for yourself So what I'm sayin' this from the bottom of my heart, let the kids be Help the children lead to another way And peace from you and I love you and I'm outta here
