 -That's proper
 Scandalous, money greed and lust
 In this trife life, there ain't nobody you can trust
 Plus there's no justice, it's just us
 In fact, watchin' 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
 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 everywhere, these streets are mean
 They spared his life, but killed his moms and his sister Jean
 Of course over some drug s**t
 His pops was on some ill-out, spill your guts, on some thug s**t
 Didn't know his boys was on some shady ass no love s**t
 His pops got played out though, with silencers they laid him out yo
 Took his stash and all the cash and left 'em, tied up on the couch yo
 With tape over his mouth, so he couldn't cry out
 Cause his dad was the ***** with clout
 Survival of the fittest so they split his wig no doubt
 Despite the stocking caps he noticed the same cat, who used to give him dough
 And taught him, to use the same gat
 Supposed to be an Uncle, fam and all that
 He could tell that it was him cause he had on the same slacks, he wore when
 He took him to Meadowlands racetrack
 Why did he flip and go out like that?
 It's called betrayal
 Scandalous, money greed and lust
 In this trife life, there ain't nobody you can trust
 Plus there's no justice, it's just us
 In fact, watchin' 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
 A betrayal
 Punk ass ******
 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, a 6-8 12th grader
 Fresh outta school and finna go make paper
 He had a brother 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 ass 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 brother's soul once held
 The trigger man made bail
 And you, wouldn't pay the boy his mail, and sacrificed your ******' family
 That's betrayal
 Betrayal (echoes)
 Money greed and lust
 In this trife life, there ain't nobody you can trust
 Plus there's no justice, it's just us
 In fact, watchin' 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
