Yeah, play for keeps, |
|
I've to tell you my name, here we go |
|
Yo, I got twenty-four bars to heal these scars |
|
I'm an underground cat but still like money and cars |
|
I'll introduce myself, check it out, ladies and gentlemen |
|
The one and only |
|
Evidence, servin' up your medicine |
|
Varsity letterman ' |
|
E' on my coat |
|
Every time |
|
I touch the paper, it's murder he wrote |
|
I'm from a real big city called ' |
|
Watch where you go' |
|
A place you think you know only to find out you don't |
|
Born in L. |
|
A., it's hard to get star struck |
|
Born in L. |
|
A., so I always keep my guard up |
|
Born in L. |
|
A., plus deal where |
|
I stayEveryday cats like |
|
Julio G pave the way |
|
My crews thick, all sharp, take a pick |
|
All ready to spit or sit down and write a hit |
|
We learn both from the best on both coasts |
|
Couldn't stress enough for the times, we kill chose |
|
Problem here, problem there, got through 'em |
|
Label here, label there, politics and bullshit, we rip |
|
The mic's cocked back, a full clip |
|
I don't preach, |
|
I rap, I'm on stage, this ain't a bull pit |
|
This is it, we're up and running, torch is lit |
|
Prepare for marathons, we don't sprint |
|
I save my crew's name for last, injections lethal |
|
It's L.A.'s finest y'all, it's |
|
Dilated Peoples |
|
And y'all can't sleep now, play for keeps |
|
We play for keeps now, y'all can't sleep |
|
And y'all can't sleep now, play for keeps |
|
We play for keeps now and y'all can't sleep |
|
There's people you know, there's people you don't |
|
There's people involved that shouldn't be, you gotta keep close |
|
There's people you know, there's people you don't |

|
I got that flow for the street |
|
Stay ahead of the time, stay behind the beat |
|
It's not what you know, but what you can prove |
|
Everyday they keep chasing me down with little clues |
|
It's Dilated from |
|
Los Angels |
|
You didn't know friends make better music than strangers |
|
So far, I've been misunderstood |
|
Wherever I fall, |
|
I make the category look good |
|
Twenty-six years young when |
|
I wrote this down |
|
My whole life ahead of me, |
|
I was known in my town |
|
Things started to change and started to stretch |
|
The farther away |
|
I went the closer to home |
|
I started to get |
|
My actions cause reactions |
|
Some love and hate shit, |
|
I don't ask, it just happens |
|
Either or we came to get it started |
|
Before the show find me at the bar drinkin' |
|
BicardiThis is it, the cats worked hard to have things |
|
Here to keep the party up, |
|
I rap caffeine |
|
I save my crew's name for last, injections lethal |
|
It's L.A.'s finest, it's |
|
Dilated Peoples |
|
And y'all can't sleep now, play for keeps |
|
We play for keeps now, y'all can't sleep |
|
And y'all can't sleep now, play for keeps |
|
We play for keeps now and y'all can't sleep |
