1st of the month == rent due soon, therefore go commit crime? Krayzie bone may have alluded to this http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/bonethugsnharmony/1stofthamon

  There is nothing in that song about committing crime to pay rent though. It's about celebrating because the first and fifteenth are when people receive welfare checks, which is why the refrain includes "cash your checks."

    Exactly. I'd even take it a step further and say it's about a cash injection into the local economy so everyone is out either working to collect other's money or spending it themselves. > The 1st be the day for the dopeman; Slangin' that cocaine fool, and I'm working late tonight; And all them fiends be lovin' them thugs; 'Cause I got them rocks for them pipes
