Lyrics

Agu (AKA Mr. Voodoo) - "Don't Do It" [Emcee(s): Agu (AKA Mr. Voodoo)] [Producer(s): Agu (AKA Mr. Voodoo)] [Co-Producer(s): Looie II] [Sample (Melody): Sammy Davis Jr. - "Baretta's Theme (Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow)" (0:00 and 0:18)] [Intro: Agu (AKA Mr. Voodoo)] Yeah, yo, ayyo, ayyo, forget that, forget that. You know what? This ain't gangster. This is criminal. Yeah, criminal, nah'mean? Not a thug, not a gangster. Criminal. Check it out. We do it like this [Verse 1: Agu (AKA Mr. Voodoo)] You see An armed black man with chrome, it's danger. I'm an Armed, masked man, but I ain't The Lone Ranger You ain't got blood—you got battery acid The only battery I know is kicking your ass, kid I'm hood, fella. Don't need no one to buck steel for me A Goodfella—you's a schmuck on wheels like Morrie I struck a deal, and won't betray those there for me While niggas fuck up the real story, I rep the territory Where young niggas know their B & E's and A & B's before they know their ABC's Increased police presence The Beast in essence Card-carrying white Aryans trying to leave you With no bucket to piss in. Niggas make hoes wives, marry 'em Now the same lips they suck with, they're kissing. I know Life ain't nothing but O.G.'s puffing O-Z's Keeping hoes on knees, but take advice from this O.G., kid [Hook: Sample from Sammy Davis Jr. - "Baretta's Theme (Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow)"] Don't do the crime if you can't do the time (Don't do it) Don't do the crime if you can't pay the price (Don't do it) [Verse 2: Agu (AKA Mr. Voodoo)] Straight up, these streets'll Soak you up and piss you out, eat you up and shit you out Them thugs'll soak you up, they pull them pistols out Price of coke up in this here drought. Provoked, I'll pull them biscuits out Choke you up, leave your wig twisted out. I'm rock and roll You're twist-and-shout. Fuck with Agu, know what The kid's about—I turn your clothes red like you're Damu Paramedics trying to calm you, revive you with the shockers I put more niggas under knives than the doctors Glock with the blocka-blocka. Dressed in wigs, pump six-inch heels Bullets in wigs pumped from six-inch steel. I seen niggas Move more weight than convicts bench steel A-Team, Fifty Cent. This supreme killer Been from Fort Greene [?] Brooklyn streets burn like Hell from their burning shells, niggas had Land and riches off the liquor, hands of snitches. It's scandalous Creatures with plans to get richest—y'all don't want to do that [Hook: Sample from Sammy Davis Jr. - "Baretta's Theme (Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow)"] Don't do the crime if you can't do the time (Don't do it) Don't do the crime if you can't pay the price (Don't do it) [Verse 3: Agu (AKA Mr. Voodoo)] Ladies and gents Of the jury found me guilty as charged, you don't Want to see a nigga like me still be at large. Career Criminal—ain't no denial. Give me The death penalty, don't take it to trial 'Cause when a mic's in my palm, it's like a bomb I'm guilty of illegal possession of a firearm My flow's dope—lock me in a penitentiary cell For illegal drug possession with the intent to sell Wholesale—no bail—even feel me on tape If the game's a female, then I'm guilty of rape Better yet, pimping prostitution. I take the bench and confess To prosecution—that make the defense rest. I do this Right out the trunk—you can call that exporting Charging industry punks—you can call that extorting But before you send me to the chair, scorch me to death, I plead Innocent to forgery and theft—I don't do that [Hook: Sample from Sammy Davis Jr. - "Baretta's Theme (Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow)"] Don't do the crime if you can't do the time (Don't do it) Don't do the crime if you can't pay the price (Don't do it)
