Gonna take ’em for ride,
first gotta cook up some jive
that sounds good, that you lay on
the marks and sound like their friend.
Make it good—that’ll stay whines,
and the scam won’t go sideways.
You’re a swindler; you take bread.
Get it on!

Okay, now go lay on
rap you’ve perfected as a schmoozer.
You’ve honed it so it can’t be finer.
You know the goal’s a nest to feather.
To do the job, avoid the jailer.
You get their sentience in a tether
and then go to work à la scammer.
You gotta do some work to “earn” those dollars.
Work hard, you’ll be a gainer,
and the con won’t go sideways.
You’re a grifter; you take bread.
Get to work!

Easy it is to fleece—
just play your cards right and you’ll make a score
and to evade the jailor.
An exit you must explore.
No need to use a gat
in the effort to grab it;
swag will be had after you’ve grabbed it.
You can lie your way past any choler.
Before that, you must focus on crime time
and taking suckers in a big con,
suck up big dollars in a big con.
It pays off when you’re griftin’ prey, yeah.
It’s gonna be payday time.
It’s time for victims in pay-take;
get yourself ready to a play make.
Oh, love crime,
so love crime….

Gotta rally—it’s time
to move grifts along.
Cooked up is your sweet jive.
Now put your take-’em play on—
screw ’em, screw ’em….
Griftin’s your big yen.
Do it once, then pull the same crime,
but don’t let it go sideways.
Done right,
they’ll bite.
Screw ’em, screw ’em….
Alright!

Now go and get your payoff;
you’ll fool ’em ’cause you’re a good schmoozer.
You’ve honed it so it can’t be finer;
it’s likely you’ll avoid the jailer.
You have surely focused on prime crime
and taking the chumps in a big con,
grub mucho dollars in that big con.

Griftin’ is a sin?
Nix, don’t believe it.
Griftin’ gets you fins,
swindlin’ gets you fins.
Grift and grift again.

Watch out it don’t go sideways.
Among swindlers, grifters you’ll have great friends.

Hey, it’s sally forth time.
You’re a great crook and have got great jive.
You’re gonna pull a great con….

But you’re busted. It’s the big pen
where you will spend time for your grave crime.
So now you’re screwed ’cause it went sideways.

Bad at crime,
had for crime,
in a bind
for your crime.
Prison time.

Turns out you won’t avoid the jailer.

Scam wasn’t keen.
