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
[Nichole & Audrey] 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
