Lyrics
(1st Chorus)

Crime
it will not decline
it will only rise
the rich stay rich so the poor commit these
crimes
just to get by
just to provide
the rich stay rich so the poor commit these
crimes

(2nd Chorus)
Crime (damn right)
it will not decline (it will not decline)
it will only rise (yeah, rise up my people)
the rich stay rich so the poor commit these
crimes (huh, tell 'em why)
just to get by (just to get by)
just to provide (yeah, you must provide my the families)
the rich stay rich so the poor commit these
crimes (tell 'em why)
just to get by (just to get by)
just to provide (yeah, you must provide for my families)
the rich stay rich so poor commit these
crimes (tell 'em why)
just to get by (just to get by)
just to provide (yeah, you must provide for my families)
the rich stay rich so the poor commit these
crimes

(3rd Chorus)
Crime (damn right)
it will not decline (it will not decline)
it will only rise (rise up my people)
the rich stay rich so the poor commit these
crimes (huh, tell 'em why)
just to get by (just to get by)
just to provide (huh, you must provide my the families)
the rich stay rich so the poor commit these
crimes (why does it have to be this way?)
to get by (people can't live in peace today)
to survive (nobody wants to share their shit)
(and both sides blame the government)
crime (tell 'em why)
to get by (people can't live in peace today)
to provide (nobody wants to share their shit)
the rich stay rich so the poor commit these
crimes
