Tyrese - Criminal Mind

featuring Heavy D 

[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 

[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 
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
