Hazy Shade Of Criminal Lyrics

    Ridenhour - drayton - the jbl - robertz - gary g-wiz

    Reach uppity reach gotta reach
    Power to the people & the beats
    Some people accuse some people of crimes
    Some people get away wit' losin' my rhyme
    They don't like where i'm comin' from
    So dey play dumb
    Dumb diggetty dumbb diggetty dumb
    But i'm tellin' you what they do
    Play a fool
    While the real thief cools in a pool
    He who got the finger on the war button
    Talkin' loud ain't sayin' nuttin
    Tv got 'em bigger than life
    All he needs is a knife
    Who's the criminal?

    To the blind def & dumb
    Hard to see 'em comin'
    Don't be dumb diggety dumb
    Politikin' writin' bad checks
    Still dey gettin' wreck
    Goin' fo' a nigga neck
    Rollin' in a blue 'n' white gang
    Ready to bang biggedy bang
    Hangin' 'round da hangin' rope
    Nope n-o-p-e
    I ain't bendin' for the soap
    Never understood why the 'hood
    Half od who's in da joint
    Now dey got me losin' my point
    Gotta have it goin' on
    Born criminal born

    Take a piece of america back
    But who had it first
    Hear the indian curse

    Robbed & stole so many so much
    It ain't funny
    Now who got 'em face on money

    Politician passin' a bill paid in full
    C-note rockin' in a pocket
    How they livin' makin' sure they
    Lockin' us up i got a feelin' i'm...

    When it come to somethin' we say
    What dey don't like is a brother like me
    On da mike

    In fact to the gritty ain't none of us wack
    Noriega had back

    Jeffrey dahmer enter the room without cuffs

    How the hell do we set stuffed
    In da back of a cell
    On an isle
    Ain't it wild
    What's a criminal?

    Only if i had one more time to kick
    The rhythm that keep rippin' down the door
    So the real crominals get exposed behind the clothes
    Doors 'n' the suits that make 'n' break da law

    Lookin' for my own 'cause i had enuff bull
    I can't understand it must be crooked
    Way they planned it

    Police supposed to keep the peace
    But i can't truss 'em
    So i keep my piece
    Loaded & cocked
    'cause i don't miss the block
    I'm talkin' about the ones who don't get chained to the rock
    While we go away for the neighborhood crime
    Never liked what i saw in the law
    Indiana tress hangin' us instead of leaves
    We hangin' the rope
    Real criminals...
