[Intro:]
Boogie man music! Fresh!
[Talking]
It was so beautiful. It was almost unfair.
It's cold but it's true. It was so cold it got warm.
Kids out in the schoolyard & playing.
It was nice & calm. It was dangerous.
When the MC's came, live out the name
And to perform
Some had to snort cocaine to act insane
Before they rocked the don
Now on to the mental pains, spark the brains
Building to be born
big digger is on the track
Check em check chicka icka etta Uhh.
(Strange Times)
Everybody got their get high (Oh my)
Their get right, their get nice, they get by (Oh my)
They get open, get ready, get primed
The national pastime is victimless crime
You want your thrill & I want mine
As long we can get it we ain't got to say why
I don't mean to pry, you ain't got to lie
We ain't got to speak when it's written in the eyes
Whenever she was high off the sparkle in her palm
She had a young girl's smile & a hustler's charm
Dying from the city where the hustler's are born
Made, traced, murdered, replaced
Life-long residents barely feel safe
And the street's offer plenty taste & little faith (Break it down)
Little face, soft lips, little waist (Break it more)
Tiny hands (Oh god) bad ass (Oh more)
Big eyes like birthday surprise
Super duper fly, born in 85
Repeat it to yourself: This is a victimless crime
Psyche your mind there's a victim every time
Your tasty little pill, your freaky little thrill
Pray won't leave you still, you wonder how it feel
It's real, pussy like some money that you steal.
Eww
When the MC came, fill out the name
And to perform
Some had to snort cocaine to act insane
Before they rocked the don
Now on to the mental pains, spark the brains
Building to be born
Give the people a new drug.
Crime & Medicine
Dead wrong & live in America
Off the block & right in your area
Fresh apples & peaches for the president
Ha ha
Crime & Medicine
Dead wrong & live in your area
From the street corner, right in your residence
Fresh apples & peaches for the president
Crime
Fresh peaches & apples for the president
Crime
Fresh chocolates & apples for the president
Crime
Fresh linens & apples to the president
Crime
Fresh.
