Hook: Guru 
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 
Verse 1: Guru 
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 shit 
Hi spops was on some ill-out, spill your guts, on some thug shit 
Didn't know his boys was on some shady ass no love shit 
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 nigga 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 doe 
and taught him, to use the same gat 
Supposed to be an Uncle,fam and all that 
He could tell it was him 'cause he wore 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

Verse 2: Scarface 
A Betrayal 
Punk ass niggas 
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 naighborhood functions 
And then a group of knuckleheads came through dumpin 
So now he's sittin on the sidewalk bleedin 
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 brothers soul wants hell the trigger man made bail 
and you, wouldn't pay the boys mail, and sacrificed the fuckin family 
That's betrayal
