[larceny.]
[how much time you get? ]
[99 years.]
Verse 1: brother marquis
Talk about, why? spreadin rumors, tellin lies
Im real sensitive to the fact
Of why must you go out like that
You cant say nothin positive
All I get are negative responses
They say its hard to keep a good man down
But its not hard to have one up off the ground
He said, she said, this-n-that
But whos tellin the truth? it aint 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 dont get mad at me
Im 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 shouldnt have
Its 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, thats the dollars that you clock
To you its petty but to them its a lot
Material things they couldnt 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
(kid ice) youll shake my hand, pretend to be my friend
And behind my back, wish it all would end
People mention my name, youll frown your face
Hopin in your dreams youll take my place
The things that I own you wish you had
Every time I do good it makes you mad
Youre not a friend to me, just an enemy
A sucker that rhymes, a wanna be
(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 lives in effect, why you sweatin us?
Wishin you had all the money Ive made
And all the females that Ive slayed
You hate me, boy, now aint that a pity
You aint got the vapors, you got larceny
