It's called betrayal Hook Verse 2: Scarface A Betrayal Punk a** n***as 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 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 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 a** 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 f**in family That's betrayal Betrayal(echoes) Hook
