Hey yo, here's a real scoop, homie loc
|
Them fools around my way gettin' high off gunsmoke
|
And I ain't talkin' about the high like Indo
|
The kind of high that make you call your kin folks
|
And tell loc, Johnny's dead
|
A fourteen-year-old kid put a nine to his head
|
All because he wanted that gear he was sportin'
|
Gimme that, while you're at it, gimme them Jordans
|
Johnny tried to jet, homie wasn't hearin' that
|
Johnny tried to run and got gatted in the back
|
Now tell me what happens to the way life used to me?
|
'Cuz in this game, there'll be no future, G
|
When will all of y'all learn
|
That if you're playin' with fire too long, you're bound to get burned
|
This ain't a small thing I'm addressin'
|
It's a big thing, take it from the daddy as a lesson
|

Shame, it's a shame
|
Shame, it's a shame
|
It's a shame, it's a shame alright
|
Shame, it's a shame
|
Shame, it's a...

|
It's a shame the way this thing goes down
|
How one lay you down just to show he don't play around
|
He goes to sleep with a head full of anger
|
And wakes up involved in a child's gang banger
|
I'm talkin' about a-tisket, a-tasket (a-tisket, a-tasket)
|
Not knowing next day he'll be laying in a casket
|
So what you think of that, son?
|
In the arcade, they playing the games ain't fun (yeah)
|
Something like Pac-Man
|
Same name but the game as you put it in the sack and
|
Running to the next board
|
And gat down the fools standing in the way of the door
|
There's no board and no points
|
And in this game, then he saw Pac-Man wants
|
The game that goes for always blowing
|
Then you'll slip up and they'll smoke you
|

Shame, it's a shame
|
Shame, it's a shame
|
It's a shame, it's a shame alright
|
Shame, it's a shame
|
Shame, it's a shame

|
None of this exists with the word peace (peace, brother)
|
You gotta do more than two fingers, man, please
|
Get a game that they gotta go by
|
Instead of "watch out quick, I'll send him to the sky"
|
Theere ain't nothin' to be playin' with
|
So listen what I give and what I be sayin', kid
|
Take it from a kid's point of view
|
'Cause on my way to school, I'll be watching you
|
|
[Chris Smith]
|
Big, big daddy in his caddy with all of his boys
|
It only had weeks, it's a joy
|
That's the first part, second part has having hard
|
But when you get count, you know how to restart
|
You gotta know how to watch your back (watch your back)
|
'Cause if you're slack, huh, you're going in the sack (yeah)
|
I advise y'all all watch out for the game
|
'Cause the game ain't nothin' but a...
