Gang Starr - Betrayal Lyrics

Send "Betrayal" ringtone to your cell

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' your 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

Hi spops was on some ill-out spill your guts out 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 nigga 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 an Uncle Fam and all that

He could tell it was him 'cause he wore 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' your 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 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 6-8 12th 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 and stayed up under naighborhood 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 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 brothers soul wants hell

The trigger man made bail and you wouldn't pay the boys mail

And sacrificed the fuckin' family

That's 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' your 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
