[00:19.75] This is it, dope from the fly kid
[00:22.74] The ice mic is back with the high bid
[00:24.74] Suckers youve lost cos players youre not, gangstas you aint
[00:27.18] Youre faintin, punk, if you ever heard a gunshot
[00:29.80] Yo, the pusher, the player, the pimp gangsta, the hustler
[00:32.17] High roller, dead pres folder
[00:33.98] Is cold lampin like a black king on a throne
[00:37.10] Evil e...turn up the microphone
[00:39.53] So I can ill and break on the rollin tape
[00:42.03] Another album to make? great
[00:44.21] Islam turn the bass kick up a bit
[00:46.90] Hype the snare, now I got a place to sit
[00:49.27] And ride the track like a black mack in his lac
[00:51.76] Hit the corner slow where the girls are at
[00:54.20] And kick game the way it should be done
[00:56.38] How you gonna drop science? youre dumb
[00:58.94] Stupid ignorant, dont even talk to me
[01:01.56] At school you dropped math, science and history
[01:03.18] And then you get on the mic and try to act smart
[01:06.37] Well let me tell you one thing, you got heart
[01:08.80] To perpetrate, youre bait, so just wait
[01:10.73] Till the press shove a mic in your face
[01:13.54] Or you meet boogie down or chuck d
[01:15.92] Stetsasonic or the big daddy
[01:18.59] And they ask you about the game you claim you got
[01:21.03] Drop science now, why not?
[01:23.12] You start to sweat and fret, it gets hot
[01:25.93] Howd you get into this spot?
[01:27.92] You played yourself...
[01:31.92] Yo, yo, you played yourself...
[01:37.97] Im no authority but I know the d-e-a-l
[01:40.72] When it comes to dealin with the females
[01:42.90] What you got they want, cash is what they need
[01:45.34] Slip sucker and theyll break you with speed
[01:47.64] But you meet a freak, you try to turn her out
[01:50.08] Spendin moneys what Im talkin about
[01:52.01] But you fool out, your pockets got blew out
[01:54.51] And after the date, no boots, you got threw out
[01:57.25] Mad and shook cos your duckets got took
[01:59.69] Call her up, phones off the hook
[02:02.24] But who told you to front and flaunt your grip?
[02:04.56] You cant buy no relationship
[02:05.61] You played yourself...
[02:09.05] Yo, homeboy, you played yourself...
[02:16.91] Im in the mc game, a lot of mcs front
[02:19.34] And for the money theyre sell out stunts
[02:21.28] But they claim that theyre rich and that they keep cash
[02:24.15] Yo, let me straighten this out fast
[02:26.39] Two hundred thousand records sold
[02:28.83] And these brothers start yellin bout gold?
[02:30.77] You better double that, then double that again
[02:34.01] And still dont get sooped, my friend
[02:36.32] You think youve made it, youre just a lucky man
[02:38.50] Guess who controls your destiny, fans
[02:40.93] But you diss em cos you think youre a star
[02:43.56] That attitude is rude, you wont get far
[02:45.93] Cos theyll turn on you quick, youll drop like a brick
[02:48.49] Unemployments where youll sit
[02:50.36] No friends cos you dissed em too
[02:52.79] No money, no crew, youre through
[02:55.41] You played yourself...
[02:59.47] Thats right, you played yourself...
[03:05.33] You played yourself...
[03:09.27] Yo, yo, you played yourself...
[03:15.19] You got problems, you claim you need a break
[03:17.69] But every dollar you get you take
[03:19.50] Straight to the dopeman, try to get a beam up
[03:22.50] Your idle time is spent tryna scheme up
[03:24.74] Another way to get money for a jumbo
[03:27.23] When you go to sleep you count five-os
[03:29.29] Lyin and cheatin, everybody youre beatin
[03:31.92] Dirty clothes and youre skinny cos you havent been eatin
[03:34.29] You ripped off all your family and your friends
[03:36.97] Nowhere does your larceny end
[03:39.22] And then you get an idea for a big move
[03:41.90] An armed robbery...smooth
[03:42.59] But everything went wrong, somebody got shot
[03:46.77] You couldnt get away, the cops roll, youre popped
[03:49.45] And now youre locked, yo, lampin on death row
[03:51.94] Societys fault? no
[03:54.01] Nobody put the crack into the pipe
[03:56.32] Nobody made you smoke off your life
[03:58.75] You thought that you could do dope and still stay cool? fool.
[04:03.49] You played yourself...
[04:08.29] You played yourself...
[04:10.67] Aint nobody elses fault, you played yourself.
