Betrayal (Explicit) - Gang Starr/Scarface

Scandalous money greed and lust

In this trife life there ain't nobody you can trust

Plus there's no justice it's just us

In fact watchin' yo back it be a must

And each and everyday around the way gats bust

And jealous so called friends will try to set you up

It's called betrayal

Check the horror scene

The kid was like twelve or thirteen

Never had the chance like other kids to follow dreams

Watched his father catch two in the dome and to the spleen

Nothin' but blood everywhere these streets are mean

They spared his life but killed his moms and his sister Jean

Of course over some ** sh*t

His pops was on some ill out spill your guts out

On some thug sh*t

Didn't know his boys was on some shady a** no love sh*t

His pops got played out though

With silencers they laid him out yo'

Took his stash and all the cash and left 'em

Tied up on the couch yo'

With tape over his mouth so he couldn't cry out

'Cause his dad was the ni**a with clout

Survival of the fittest so they split his wig no doubt

Despite the stocking caps he noticed

The same cat who used to give

Him doe

And taught him to use the same gat

Supposed to be like an uncle fam and all that

He could tell it was him 'cause he had on

The same slacks he wore when

He took him out to meadowlands racetrack

Why did he flip and go out like that

It's called betrayal

Scandalous money greed and lust

In this trife life there ain't nobody you can trust

Plus there's no justice it's just us

In fact watchin' yo back it be a must

And each and everyday around the way gats bust

And jealous so called friends will try to set you up

It's called betrayal

A betrayal

Punk a** niggas

It's called betrayal

He on a mission to become a ball player

Flip big benz's

Flossin' all gators

Had it all mapped out six eight twelfth grader

Fresh outta school he fin' to go lay paper

He had a brother who was hustlin' collectin' his change

Never let his baby brother stick his neck in the game

Told him all he had to do is just enjoy the ride

And he ain't have to worry about money 'cause that's in time

So now he's pacin' as the time moves slowly

Can't wait to face shaquille in the paint and school kobe

Kept his grades up and stayed up

Under neighborhood functions

And then a group of knuckleheads came through dumpin'

So now he's sittin' on the sidewalk bleedin'

Fell into a puddle of his own blood and stopped breathin'

And everybody in the neighborhood still grievin'

But destiny caught up with his a** and he got even

And all the cryin' in the world ain't goin' to bring him back

His brother

Sittin' at the wake wipin' tears from his mother's eyes

Why'd the game have to go and take the young boys life

Only the wicked live shife payin' the price

While he's starin' at the shell

His brothers soul wants hell the trigger man made bail

And you wouldn't pay the boys mail

And sacrificed the f**kin' family

That's betrayal

Money greed and lust

In this trife life there ain't nobody you can trust

Plus there's no justice it's just us

In fact watchin' yo back it be a must

And each and everyday around the way gats bust

And jealous so called friends will try to set you up

It's called betrayal
