halfway crook


an impossibility or oxymoron. you either are or are not a crook. you can’t steal a little bit from someone and be called a partial thief. you have taken, you are a thief, period. therefore to say someone is a halfway crook is to refer to an impossibility.

this term was made popular by mobb deep in the song “shook ones” when they called whack n-gg-hs out who were “scared to death, scared to look, you shook, cuz ain’t no such thing as halfway crooks”
we stealing this car or what? go hard or go home, sun. ain’t no such thing as halfway crooks.
does not exist. the fact that this definition is even here is a paradox.
“scared to death, scared to look, they shook,
’cause aint no such thing as half way crooks”
-m.d.
poser; fake; someone who tries to act hard and is really a big p-ssy
“scared to death, scared to look

they shook
’cause ain’t no such things as halfway crooks”
