[What you here for, buddy?]
|
[Larceny.]
|
[How much time you get?]
|
[99 years.]

|
Verse 1: [Brother Marquis]
|
Talk about, why? Spreadin' rumors, tellin' lies
|
I'm real sensitive to the fact
|
Of why must you go out like that
|
You can't say nothin' positive
|
All I get are negative responses
|
They say it's hard to keep a good man down
|
But it's not hard to have one up off the ground
|
He said, she said, this-n-that
|
But who's tellin' the truth? It ain't like that
|
I knew somethin' was wrong, I knew it all along
|
But nobody told me what was goin' on
|
So just STOP ... all this disrespect
|
'Cause now is the time for me to put you in check
|
They say the truth hurts, but don't get mad at me
|
I'm talkin' to those who got larceny
|
|
Verse 2: [Fresh Kid Ice]
|
Larceny, meaning bein' jealous-hearted
|
Over little or nothin', it can get started
|
For example, a man wants to get ahead
|
Others wish he failed and rather see him dead
|
Always puttin' obstacles in your path
|
It becomes a problem you shouldn't have
|
It's like a disease spreadin' faster than AIDS
|
The word is out, they misspelled your name
|
People look at you a little strange
|
You gain more foes as your lifestyle change'
|
They want what you got, that's the dollars that you clock
|
To you it's petty but to them it's a lot
|
Material things they couldn't retain
|
Still hopin' your loss will be their gain
|
Yet we strive to stay alive and live carefree
|
Others still have that larceny
|
|
Verse 3: [Fresh Kid Ice]
|
You'll shake my hand, pretend to be my friend
|
And behind my back, wish it all would end
|
People mention my name, you'll frown your face
|
Hopin' in your dreams you'll take my place
|
The things that I own you wish you had
|
Every time I do good it makes you mad
|
You're not a friend to me, just an enemy
|
A sucker that rhymes, a wanna be
|
[Brother Marquis]
|
You wanna be like me, only in your dreams
|
You wanna be down, but you gotta come clean
|
Rockin' boomin' beats on every cut
|
2 Live's in effect, why you sweatin' us?
|
Wishin' you had all the money I've made
|
And all the females that I've slayed
|
You hate me, boy, now ain't that a pity
|
You ain't got the vapors, you got larceny
|

You Got Larency
