All wrapped up(x2)
|
|
You're entangled in a great big ball of confusion
|
Trapped in a world that is just an illusion
|
You're thinking it's real but that's not what's happening
|
Well,we're here to let you know the real deal
|
(That's why we're rappin')
|
(Yo)Life's just a game,one great big riddle
|
And we're all wrapped up,smack dab in the middle
|
Play the Lotto everyday in hopes you're gonna win it
|
But it's just another game and you're wrapped up in it
|
You haven't won it yet,but you ain't had enough
|
'Cause you know it like a poet,you're (all wrapped up)
|
|
All wrapped up(x2)
|
|
We're gonna rap about the game that people are playin'
|
(Yo)If you're ready,just listen to what I'm sayin'
|
Talking about homeboys and the fly young ladies
|
Men,woman,sons,daughters and the little-bitty babies
|
Speaking on the def jams everybody's be-bopping
|
Super stupid,cold chillin' and the party is rockin'
|
Soap opera in the day got the ladies cold illin'
|
"One life to live"(you know it) and " All my chillin'"
|
You know you gotta have it,too much ain't enough
|
Because the fact of the matter is you're all wrapped up
|
|
All wrapped up (x2)
|
|
Doctors wrapped up in the ill and the sick
|
We got wrapped up in politics
|
Some wrapped up in living long
|
(And you're)All wrapped up in the beat of his song
|
Gamblers wrapped up in making bets
|
And the lovers wrapped up in this game called sex
|
(Now trouble's)Out there and it won't ignore ya
|
Don't look for any trouble,it'll surely look for ya
|
If you try to play tough then it's just your luck
|
That it'll call your bluff and then trouble's gotcha all wrapped up
|
All wrapped up (x2)
|
|
You're seen hanging on the corner nine days a week
|
(You gonna blow)You don't know you're wrapped up in the streets
|
Sporting 50-dollar sneakers and all the money's spent
|
While Mom's (all wrapped up) Trying to pay rent
|
We got the weekeng girls and all you fly guys
|
Wrapped up in a world of 9-to-5
|
We got the sly,slick and wicked,ain't it funny
|
(Yo)How they're (all wrapped up) Cold trying to take money
|
If you get it,you're with it,(If) You don't,that's tough
|
And you know the real reason is you're
|
(All wrapped up)
|
|
All wrapped up (x4)
