Carlito - Life Of Crimez Lyrics

(feat. Shy Boogs)

It ain't no good around here
It ain't no good around here (Carlito)
It ain't no good around here (Omega on da beat)
It ain't no good around here (Shy talk to 'em)

[Chorus: Shy Boogs]
You can catch me on da corner from 9-5
Struggling for real tryin stay alive
Either way I gotta shine
Tryin see this mille before the day I die
Lord forgive for this life of mine
Walk around with the heater by my side
Can't escape this Life of Crime
Gotta make this money dats the bottom line

[Verse 1: Carlito]
In my city young thugs scream pass the glock
And outta towners come around and never pass my block
Blasting shots right at the cops, I rock my cash enough so the day my casket drops
Can't stop Cinderells will spray, I thought I told you P-Town don't play (So come around my way)
Street soldiers and heat holders and weed smokers that keep toasters and reload up when the beef froze up
Free loaders and key holders on street corners
Can't walk the block with C-O-Ps on us
Scheming on us, breathin on us, dealing quarters in order to feed my daughter (Damn)
Can't swim and I'm sinkin in deeper waters
Can't win and I'm thinkin to flee the border
But I just can't leave the corner
Cause the green that I'm stackin keep my breathin longer

[Chorus: Shy Boogs]
You can catch me on da corner from 9-5
Struggling for real tryin stay alive
Either way I gotta shine
Tryin see this mille before the day I die
Lord forgive for this life of mine
Walk around with the heater by my side
Can't escape this Life of Crime
Gotta make this money dats the bottom line

[Verse 2: Carlito]
Known for slashin, no joke no ones laughing
Most are packing toast, po-po harrasin
And this ain't a movie, no ones actin
Loading gats, no compassion, foes are blastin
On the block, we posted up with rocks
And hope for bucks cause most of us is broke as f*ck
We roll the dutch and smoke and puff
And watch for cops that plot to lock and choke us up
The soul survivor, co-provider
Smoking ganja, hope for drama, choke n rob ya
Roll with pro's that hold the toasta close when foes approach da toast put holes inside ya
We proceed to snatch yo dollas
Guess it's just the evil greed that's trapped inside us
Yes indeed you can ask about us
Whole team OG's and we gangsta riders

[Chorus]

[Shy Boogs:]
And I know in life we struggle
I'm trying see them brighter days
Trying to hold on and just hustle
But please take this pain away
And I never seen no sunshine, over here them skies are grey
Tryin to make it through this life is getting harder day to day

[Chorus]
