Crime Time 

This isn't any specific time, it's a 24/7 way of life. It means to go so hard that it must be considered a crime. Used to describe a noun. Probably the dopest motto known to man kind. Can also be used in a hashtag. Therefore it is a saying, or a motto.
"Hey bro, what do you wanna do today?"
"Let's lift, I'm tryna get swole. Let's go Crime Time. #CrimeTime"
"Damn bro, you must really wanna go hard."

Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time. 

A "hip" expression of the 1960's-70's that advises you not to do something risky unless you are willing and able to accept the full weight of the consequences.

Ironically popularized by the theme song to the TV show "Baretta" starring Robert Blake.
Fred: "I'm losing my license for drunk driving..."

Charlie: "Quit complaining! You know what they tell you: 'don't do the crime if you can't do the time!'"

do da time, do da crime

Spitefully doing something in which you have already been falsely accused.

It means if someone accuses you of something and you didn't do it; then you might as well go ahead and do whatever it is that they think you did because they are convinced that you are guilty.
"Nakita, I know you have been gettin all up on my boyfriend," accused Tasha. "Nuh uh, I ain't want that nappy head nigga," replied Nakita. "Uh huh, I seen you flirtin with him," insisted Tasha. (Tasha is paranoid and convinced Nakita wants her man and since she'll never believe otherwise, Nakita should seduce Tasha's man right in her face.)"B-tch, you wanna see somebody getting up on yo man; I'll show you somebody gettin up on yo man. Do da time, do da crime," tormented Nakita as she rubs up on Tasha's man right in front of Tasha.
