the instrumental on this song is "shook ones pt. II" by mobb deep. that's where the "half way crooks" line comes from. in the mobb deep song, the chorus says "there ain't no such thing as half way crooks." in my opinion, a half way crook is someone who's a poser, like a guy named clarence pretending to be a gangster when he really isn't.
i just love this song because it ties perfectly into the theme of the movie of taking something that people perceive as a weakness and turning it into a strength, of turning your life around despite obstacles.
