Crime Pays With Death

There is always payment for your actions. The say that crime does not pay. Think again.

 

CRIME PAYS WITH DEATH
 
Who says that crime does not pay?
          Most assuredly it does as the sun rises today
There will be debauchery of every kind
          And making money illegally you will find
There are those living high on the hog because they know the game
          Who gives a damn when you get what you want and there is no shame.
 
 
Who cares about tomorrow when we can live right now?
          There is lots of money out there let us get it somehow
By hook or crook lets make it to the bank
          Don’t care about nobody or being locked in the tank
Ain’t nobody gonna give you nothing so what the heck
          Lets go get what’s ours no matter who we wreck.
 
 
If we don’t get it somebody will
          Having fun living it up, heck with the bill
The dividends are quick and easy
          Lets spend it on luxury and things that are greasy
Whoever said that crime doesn’t pay must be crazy
          It will pay if you get what’s yours and don’t be lazy.
 
 
Even though your life is short lived and sweet
          The level of living you’ve attained can’t be beat
Living in the fast lane can be hazardous to your health
          What you gonna do but spend your hard earned wealth
And if it takes you away until you breathe your last breath
          In that short period of time you’ve lived even though your life of crime pays with death.
