This is it d**e from the fly kid

The ice mic is back with the high bid

Suckers youve lost cos players you're not gangstas you ain't

You're faintin punk if you ever heard a gunshot

Yo the pusher the player the pimp gangsta the hustler

High roller dead pres folder

Is cold lampin like a black king on a throne

Evil e turn up the microphone

So I can ill and break on the rollin tape

Another album to make great

Islam turn the bass kick up a bit

Hype the snare now I got a place to sit

And ride the track like a black mack in his lac

Hit the corner slow where the girls are at

And kick game the way it should be done

How you gonna drop science you're dumb

Stupid ignorant don't even talk to me

At school you dropped math science and history

And then you get on the mic and try to act smart

Well let me tell you one thing you got heart

To perpetrate you're bait so just wait

Till the press shove a mic in your face

Or you meet boogie down or chuck d

Stetsasonic or the big daddy

And they ask you about the game you claim you got

Drop science now why not

You start to sweat and fret it gets hot

Howd you get into this spot

You played yourself

Yo yo you played yourself

I'm no authority but I know the d-e-a-l

When it comes to dealin with the females

What you got they want cash is what they need

Slip sucker and they'll break you with speed

But you meet a freak you try to turn her out

Spendin moneys what I'm talkin about

But you fool out your pockets got blew out

And after the date no boots you got threw out

Mad and shook cos your duckets got took

Call her up phones off the hook

But who told you to front and flaunt your grip

You can't buy no relationship

You played yourself

Yo homeboy you played yourself

I'm in the mc game a lot of mcs front

And for the money theyre sell out stunts

But they claim that theyre rich and that they keep cash

Yo let me straighten this out fast

Two hundred thousand records sold

And these brothers start yellin bout gold

You better double that then double that again

And still don't get sooped my friend

You think youve made it you're just a lucky man

Guess who controls your destiny fans

But you diss em cos you think you're a star

That attitude is rude you won't get far

Cos they'll turn on you quick youll drop like a brick

Unemployments where youll sit

No friends cos you dissed em too

No money no crew you're through

You played yourself

Thats right you played yourself

You played yourself

Yo yo you played yourself

You got problems you claim you need a break

But every dollar you get you take

Straight to the dopeman try to get a beam up

Your idle time is spent tryna scheme up

Another way to get money for a jumbo

When you go to sleep you count five-os

Lyin and cheatin everybody you're beatin

Dirty clothes and you're skinny cos you havent been eatin

You ripped off all your family and your friends

Nowhere does your larceny end

And then you get an idea for a big move

An armed robbery smooth

But everything went wrong somebody got shot

You couldn't get away the cops roll you're popped

And now you're locked yo lampin on death row

Societys fault no

Nobody put the crack into the pipe

Nobody made you smoke off your life

You thought that you could do d**e and still stay cool fool

You played yourself

You played yourself

Ain't nobody elses fault you played yourself
