Letra Illegal Business Remix 2004 de Krs-one original

One afternoon around eleven o'clock
It was freezin cold, he was standing on the block
Sellin cheeba, nick's and dimes
Sayin a rhyme just to pass the time
The cops passed by, but he stayed calm
Cause the leather trench coat was keepin him warm
But this time they walked by real slowly
He thought to himself, 'They look like they know me'
They drove away, but he didn't stay
He jumped in the cab and he paid his tab
But guess who he saw when he hit the block
It was the same cop car, the same two cops
They jumped out quick, they pulled a gun
They said, 'Don't try to fight and don't try to run
Cooperate and we will be your friend
Non-cooperation will be your end'
He jumped in the car, and while they rode
They ran down the list of things he owed
They said, 'You owe us some money, you owe us some product
Cause you could be right in the river tied up'
He thought for a second and he said, 'What is this?
You want me to pay you to stay in business?'
They said, 'That's right, or you go to prison
Cause nobody out there is really gonna listen
To a hood,' so he said, 'Good!
I'll pay you off for the whole neighborhood'
Because

Cocaine business controls America
Ganja business controls America
KRS-One come to start some hysteria
Illegal business controls America
