Ya Playin' Yaself

Yo, are you a pimp, a hustler? No Im not
Are you a man, and can you stand alone
Like a man has to sometimes? Yes I can
Are you willing, to go out there
And save the lives of our children
Even if it means losin your own life? Yes I am
I believe you Jeru, youre ready
Youve no-no-nothin to worry about
Now, I dont push a Lex
Others had their turn to flex, Jeru is up next
All, these so called players up in the rap game
Got brothers on the corner sellin cooked ***** **
It used to be La Toya and, Jim Hats
But now its Uzis Macs and, G-packs of cracks
Everybodys psycho or some type of good fellow
But me, I keep it real thats all swine like Jello
Dont drink Cristal, and I cant stand Mo
Never received currency for movin a kilo
Or an ounce, make em bounce to this fake-pimp free flow
I never knew hustlers, confessed in stereo
Or on video get caught youll know who turned
States evidence, murder weapon, confession and fingerprints
Mama always said, 'Watch what comes out your mouth'
Tight case for the D A from here to down South
Knowledge wisdom understanding like King Solomons wealth
Youre a player but only because you be playin yourself
With all that Big Willie talk, hop, ya playin yaself
With all that big gun talk, bop, ya playin yaself
With all that rah rah rah, ya playin yaself
Ya playin yaself, ya playin yaself
With all that rah rah rah, ya playin yaself
With all that big gun talk, bop, ya playin yaself
With all that Big Willie talk hop, ya playin yaself
Ya playin yaself, ya playin yaself
Now these ladies is lookin pretty from city to city
I refined a few I met, around the country
The nitty gritty, its all reality, no question
Actual fact like tight jeans cause yeast infections
And sisters with good minds get no respect when
Their ass is all hangin out, playin the bar section
Of the club shake what your mama gave ya, back to the lab
I drop the truth, cause rhymin is more than just my craft
Or a way to get ass or fast cash or blasted
Black women, make sure youre respected
When ****** is kickin that old off the wall ****,
Let em know from jump, 'Dead it', youre not ignorant
Knowledge, wisdom, understandin is the key to wealth
Put some clothes on that ass if you respect yourself
With those hooker type wears, hon, ya playin yaself
With those skin tight jeans, baby, ya playin yaself
Everythin all exposed ya playin yaself
Ya playin yaself, ya playin yaself
Everythin all exposed ya playin yaself
With those skin tight jeans, baby, ya playin yaself
With those hooker type wears, hon, ya playin yaself
Ya playin yaself, ya playin yaself
Now, I dont bust a tec, bubble drugs
In the projects, or use mics to sell ***
******, nowadays is all about this
So much ying yang, its ridiculous
If you got so much cheese where are the black distributors
And these record companies shake em down like mobsters
But impostors, like commercial locks are not rastas
Always fakin moves, never, makin moves
Asses shake, bottles pop, the government is breakin down
You fools, you work all week and give the devil
Back his loot for jewels
And the steak on your plate is filled with chemicals
Still, brothers leave brothers all battered and bruised
On the streets wont see snakes on my feet
The race is on, but I wont compete in this competition
Because I have a greater mission
I hope that you listen
Knowledge, wisdom and understanding brings, long life and health
Think anything else and ya playin yaself
So all that Big Willie talk, hop, ya, playin yaself
And all those skin tight jeans, hon, ya playin yaself
And all that rah rah rah, ya, playin yaself
Ya, playin yaself, ya, playin yaself
And all those hooker type wears, baby, ya playin yaself
And all that big gun talk money, ya playin yaself
Everything all exposed, ya playin yaself
Ya playin yaself, ya playin yaself
I dont play
