Yo what up son?

See about if we could hook up wit him

-That's proper

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 must

And each and everyday around the way gats bust

And jealous so-called friends'll 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 drug shit

His pops was on some ill-out, spill your guts, on some thug shit

Didn't know his boys was on some shady ass no love shit

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 shit 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 dough

And taught him, to use the same gat

Supposed to be an Uncle, fam and all that

He could tell that it was him cause he had on the same slacks, he wore when

He took him 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 must

And each and everyday around the way gats bust

And jealous so-called friends'll try to set you up

It's called betrayal

A betrayal

Punk ass niggaz

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, a 6-8 12th grader

Fresh outta school and finna go make 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 and stayed up under neighborhood functions

And then a group of knuckleheads came through dumping

So now he's sittin' on the sidewalk bleeding

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

And everybody in the neighborhood still grievin'

But destiny caught up with his ass 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 brother's soul once held

The trigger man made bail

And you, wouldn't pay the boy his mail, and sacrificed your ******' family

That's betrayal

Betrayal (echoes)

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 must

And each and everyday around the way gats bust

And jealous so-called friends'll try to set you up

It's called betrayal
