[Tyrese]

I've got a criminal mind

Ohhh oh oh





[Heavy]

C'mon, what what, what what, uh uh





1

These days, I wonder if crime pays

Blinded by criminal minded ways

Smokin' on ya hay

(Turn it up) Uh-huh





These days, cats be pushin' me places I ain't supposed to be

Money got a hold of me, controlin' me





2 - I've got a criminal mind

I can't help it

I'm on my way

To pick up the pieces

It's the only way I see myself gettin' to the other side

That's why I've got a criminal mind





[Tyrese]

City lights, diamond sky

What a beautiful thing, to be alive

Everything, is all that I desire

Paper's in my hand, a chance to leap higher





Repeat 2





[Tyrese]

Everywhere but felt your life's standing still

You want so much more than the world has to give

I can't see myself workin' every day

Makin' no money, barely getting paid





I should probably regret

All that I've done, in the past

But as I turn the pages of my life

I see you ride up again





[Heavy]

Y'all still don't hear me?

Okay, check this out, yo

It's the D I

It's the D I

It's the D I G G Y, D A double D Y

He be fly, all day

With a P I, G E, okay

Police got a freeze on my diamonds

Did 2 years in the pen, I'm back again

And this time, I got to win

I'm a theif by nature, steal your love

I'm a crook with a hook and a plan for thugs, uh-huh

Y'all don't hear me, huh?

Y'all don't hear me, huh?





Repeat 1





I'mma tell y'all somethin'

Y'all gon' still question my capabilities?

Are you stupid?

You sucka





Repeat 2



Repeat 2



Repeat 2





[Heavy] (Outro)

Y'all don't see me

How we get down, ya know what I'm sayin?

Whatever's necessary, we gon' be 'bout it

Cuz we 'bout it, for real (they know we 'bout it though)

(Man, tell 'em how you do it)

Listen man, I got to get what I get any way I can get it

Man, y'all hear me?

(I know that's right)





Repeat 1



Repeat 2
