lyrics

(Intro)
Uhh…yeah..in the land of the crooks/
Just take a look at what the Tv show/
Don’t matter which way it go/
Its all about how it looks/
In the land of the crooks/
All good just a week ago/
At what the TV show it aint the same as what the people know/

Shorty on the prowl looking for the prey to hunted/
Riding with the pole looking for a come up or something/
Bumping Mc Eiht, “All for the Money”/
Ready to hop out and take something from anybody look at him funny/
Kid starving, yeah way past hungry/
And the lack of support and resources got him out here on dummy/
Cruise past 67th and Stoney, his weapon was loaded/
Looking for anybody give him a reason to blow it/
Pull in the parking lot of Chase bank, wait for a car in the drive thru/
They gotta get theirs I need mine too/
Car pull up like expected/
They put they card in and put the code in so he waited a second/
Ran up and said empty it out/
I need every last dime in your checking and your savings account/
Driver said cool, let me just grab my card/
But instead he upped it on him and he blew him apart/
(Chorus) – 2x
It don’t matter which way it go, its all about how it looks/
You born guilty in the land of the crooks/
Was all good just a week ago/
Just take a look at what the Tv show/
It aint the same as what the people know/

Hard working father, just got home from the gig/
Stepped in the house, hugged up on his wife and kids/
Kicked his shoes off, grabbed him a beer/
Wifey didn’t feel like cooking, she ordered Italian fiesta instead/
It should be about 25 minutes/
Enough time to stop at the ATM on his way to go get it/
Finished his beer then thru on his slippers/
Grabbed his debit card and desert eagle and the license to carry it with him/
Kiss his wife and said be back in a minute/
She said hurry up because it dessert in the bedroom when you finish/
Hope in the whip and make a left on Stoney/
Would’ve went straight to the pizza spot but they saying they on take cash only/
So he pulled uo in Chase drive thru/
Saw a suspicious car parked on the side through his rearview/
Turned around to a voice saying , clear the accounts/
So he grabbed he desert eagle and start airing him out/
