Crime Songtext
von Noah Scharf

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Uh
Oh no, no, no, no
Uh

I′ve been feelin' impatient (Ayy)
Tired of bein′ in the basement (Oh no)
Yeah, been tryna get in the game and
Time wastin', can't escape this minimum wage, man, I hate this
The fame is callin′ my name, but will I remain the same kid?
This shit is dangerous, can′t lose
Myself when no wealth is obtained and
Yeah, yeah, yeah, they just wanna see me fall

I can never drop the ball

They can pick out every flaw (Flaw)
But don't forget ′bout who you are, yeah, yeah
I won't forget that I′m the star (Uh)
Shinin', lightin′ up the dark, yeah (Light it up, light it up)
Aspirin' to have it all (Uh)
But I don't even know what I want


What do I want?
Maybe I don′t want anything
Don′t need your sympathy
I took my loss, yeah
And I've handled everything (Yeah)
Why can′t they let me be? (Yeah, listen)
Oh (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Bein' white, I couldn′t see it right

I would be in spite when I could read and write
Had a place to sleep at night and I was eatin' right
But then I realized I got more than a decent life
I mean, there′s kids who fight and lose their
Lives before they're even teens that die
With no equal rights 'cause when everybody
Got a piece, makin′ peace ain′t a piece of pie

But the secrets lie underneath the lies, read between the lines
Take a peek and find that havin' peace of
Mind and releasin′ pride is the key in life
Don't wanna step on any toes tryna thread the needle right
′Cause you reap what you sow, so I'm far from evil, I
I′m far from perfect, but I feel the need to treat people nice
Who wouldn't even be thinkin' twice if
They had the chance to seize my life
And tear it into pieces for a decent price


I look back and I see sleepless nights
Yeah, money, I was fiendin′, I (Whew)
Was runnin′ to my dreams and I was lucky that I seen the light
Most people run into the first inconvenience and don't even try

To persevere through it, I am not a teacher, I′m a student
I am not a preacher, I'm a human
Through the speakers I influence
Fluent speaker in a language called prudence
I left it in the open like a nudist, now I got ′em movin'

What do I want?
Maybe I don′t want anything
Don't need your sympathy
I took my loss, yeah
And I've handled everything
Why can′t they let me be?
Oh

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah
