Pawnshop Jewelry
[Verse 1: KXNG Crooked]
He's on the ground half dead remembering what his granny said
Boy get a job, too late he was a xanny head
Man he bled and he shed tears all alone cause his man he fled
While blood was leaking out him candy red
He tried to rob a jewelry shop for some extra green, little did he know
The armed guard was a ex-marine
A bullet sliced through his spine made its exit clean
He couldn't feel his legs, hе screamed
Crawling on the floor cops at thе door, it didn't feel fair
Twenty-year bid, sometimes he wish he was killed there
Flashbacks haunting his mind, it's like he's still there
Mentally at the crime scene, physically in a wheelchair
He wanted to stack his money this tall, Chris Paul, pitfall, big balls
Got him living in prison brick walls
The moral to this shit y'all
Gotta crawl before you walk or you'll walk then crawl
That's jewelry
[Chorus: MRK SX]
I got sapphires I got rubies
Shop's open all day I got jewelry
I got jade all day I got diamonds
A whole waterfall full of diamonds
Careful if you break you buy one
Live like a fool then you die one
I got a whole waterfall full of diamonds
Holla at me if you need diamonds
[Verse 2: Joell Ortiz]
Twenty years ago, still ain't forgot it
We was sitting on that bench in the projects sipping a forty of old gold
Passing 'round some neighborhood chronic
Talking about bread complaining how we ain't got it
My homie said, he tired of the same old shit, same old nicks
Selling this dope we dead broke man this ain't no fix
Got an idea but it ain't no flip
A quick lick, jewelry shop a few blocks off Rodeo strip
Been there before some old n***a at the door, easy score
In and out like a four by four, I said for sure
Gut saying hell no, pockets screaming hell yeah
Later that night I found myself there
Looking at rings and watches pretending to chop for a minute
My homie backs out that Glock, we got the drop, 'bout to get it
I hear some shots go pop, my homie drops and he's twitching
Right about now I'm in shock, shoot at the guard while I'm dipping
This old n***a shooting at me while I run up the block
Like he's some special ops
Them bullets sped my knot, sweating in my bed
Thinking my homie dead, but he not
They sat him down he lost the use of his legs and his crotch
He held it down like a G though
Surveillance wasn't taping that night
They ain't know me yo, and son ain't give up his amigo
And now I'm the biggest n***a in town but when he come home
He gonna know, I ain't too big to push my n***a around (word)
[Chorus: MRK SX]
I got sapphires, I got rubies
Shop's open all day, I got jewelry
I got jade all day, I got diamonds
A whole waterfall full of diamonds
Careful if you break you buy one
Live like a fool then you die one
I got a whole waterfall full of diamonds
Holla at me if you need diamonds
