[Chorus]
Time, time, doing hard time, time
Now was it worth the crime?
[Verse 1: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace]
There is a message in this song
And if you listen up you will never go wrong
I'm not trying to tell you how to run your life
I'm just here to give you some good advice
On this information there is no price
What I really wanna say is live an honest life
Because everything that good may not be gold
Just listen to this story and the moral will be told
Your homeboy told you to sit and look for cops
While he robs and steals and does all the job
Your heartbeat's fast, now you're having a fit
And you wonder if the money will be an even split
But yo wake up your boy never came back
And here come the cops wantin' all the facts
So you stay real quiet, but the cops don't buy it
Where's your friend now, I bet he's laughin' in a riot
So where are you going? It's plain to see
You're going up the river doing T-I-M-E
[Chorus]
Time, time, doing hard time, time
Now was it worth the crime?
Time, time, doing hard time, time
Now was it worth the crime?
[Verse 2: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace]
Take time out to read the news
How a young school kid have been sexually abused
Police are killing the innocent
But the verdict of the jury is self-defense
You had a bulletproof plan, that's what you thought
So tell me how in the world did you get caught?
You got frustrated when you lost your job
So you bought a gun and you started to rob
The news line read "Big drugs seized"
As your family heard the news in disbelief
They begged you to quit but you did not stop
'Til you tried to sell a gram to an undercover cop
You got set up and then locked up
Now you're sittin' in jail tryin' to watch your butt
You didn't have time to think things out
Now you're sittin' in jail, and time is all you got
Your lady's never home, says she's with her friends
But little did you know that her friend's a man
She never gives you love, all she wants is the cash
She started lookin' like a tramp and talkin' real trash
Your boys says they see her out on the street
She's winking at the man and talking real cheap
You don't believe, not a word that they say
So you come home early from work the next day
You walk in your house and what did you see?
Somebody else in your bed messing with your lady
Your wife was cheatin', now she needs a beatin'
And now the man and your girl are gonna have a b
So you did the job now you got the key
For the jail up the river doin' T-I-M-E
[Chorus]
Time, time, doing hard time, time
Now was it worth the crime?
Time, time, doing hard time, time
Now was it worth the crime?
[Verse 3: Gigolo Tony; Lacey Lace]
It was your very first offense, because of that situation
They let you off easy on three month probation
But back on the streets, what do you do?
You start hanging 'round with the same crew
Your mind's tried to tell you it's a big mistake
But you wanna go along for old times' sake
You didn't necessarily commit the crime
But you still got busted and doing time
You say "Your Honor, I did nothing wrong"
The judge says "Son, why'd you go along?"
You say "I went for their ride just to see"
And that made you an accessory
Now you're sitting in jail with your face in your hands
Crying like a little child and you call yourself a man
You make yourself bored by staring at the walls
You receive no letter and no phone calls
You got problems at work and problems at the house
Your wife just left and now you feel like a louse
She left you with a kid who's four years old
The kid is real wild, don't do what he's told
So you smack him around and you sexually abuse him
You tell him not to tell because you know that you'll lose him
He cries all night, he trembles with fright
He wishes he could hug his mama real tight
But when he got a little older, he was going insane
To stop his father, didn't take the blame
So he told the cops and they came over to the house
They found him in a closet, scared like a mouse
So he lied and said he did it once or twice
But they said it didn't matter, now he's paying the price
His son dropped the dime on his lowdown crime
And as you can see, he's doing T-I-M-E
[Chorus]
Time, time, doing hard time, time
Now was it worth the crime?
Time, time, doing hard time, time
Now was it worth the crime?
Doing time
Doing time
Doing time
Doing time
Doing time
Doing time
Doing time
Time, time, doing hard time, time
Now was it worth the crime?
