Hook: Guru

Scandalousmoney greed and lust
In this trife lifethere ain t nobody you can trust
Plus there s no justiceit s just us
In factwatchin 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

Verse 1: Guru

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 everywherethese streets are mean
They spared his lifebut killed his moms and his sister Jean
Of course over some drug shit
Hi spops was on some ill-outspill your gutson some thug shit
Didn t know his boys was on some shady ass no love shit
His pops got played out thoughwith silencers they laid him out yo
Took his stash and all the cash and left emtied up on the couch yo
With tape over his mouthso 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 catwho used to give him doe
and taught himto use the same gat
Supposed to be an Unclefam and all that
He could tell it was him cause he wore the same slackshe wore when
he took him to Meadowlands racetrack
Why did he flip and go out like that?
It s called betrayal

Hook

Verse 2: Scarface

A Betrayal
Punk ass niggas
It s called betrayal

He on a mission to become a ball player
Flip big Benz sflossin all gators
Had it all mapped out6-812th grader
Fresh outta schoolhe fin to go lay paper
He had abrother 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 brothersittin 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 shifepayin the price
while he s starin at the shell
his brothers soul wants hell the trigger man made bail
and youwouldn t pay the boys mailand sacrificed the fuckin family
That s betrayal
Betrayal(echoes)
