You Played Yourself - Ice T

Verse 1 

This is it  dope from the fly kid 
The Ice mic is back with the high bid 
Suckers you've lost cos players you're not  gangstas you ain't 
You're faintin'  punk  if you ever heard a gunshot 
Yo  the pusher  the player  the pimp gangsta  the hustler 
High Roller  dead pres folder 
Is cold lampin' like a black king on a throne 
Evil E...turn up the microphone 
So I can ill and break on the rollin' tape 
Another album to make? Great 
Islam turn the bass kick up a bit 
Hype the snare, now I got a place to sit 
And ride the track like a black mack in his 'lac 
Hit the corner slow where the girls are at 
And kick game the way it should be done 
How you gonna drop science? You're dumb 
Stupid ignorant, don't even talk to me 
At school you dropped Math, Science and History 
And then you get on the mic and try to act smart 
Well let me tell you one thing, you got heart 
To perpetrate, you're bait, so just wait 
Till the press shove a mic in your face 
Or you meet Boogie Down or Chuck D 
Stetsasonic or the Big Daddy 
And they ask you about the game you claim you got 
Drop science now, why not? 
You start to sweat and fret, it gets hot 
How'd you get into this spot? 

You played yourself... 
Yo, yo, you played yourself... 

Verse 2 

I'm no authority but I know the D-E-A-L 
When it comes to dealin' with the females 
What you got they want, cash is what they need 
Slip sucker and they'll break you with speed 
But you meet a freak, you try to turn her out 
Spendin' money's what I'm talkin' about 
But you fool out, your pockets got blew out 
And after the date, no boots, you got threw out 
Mad and shook cos your duckets got took 
Call her up, phone's off the hook 
But who told you to front and flaunt your grip? 
You can't buy no relationship 

You played yourself... 
Yo, homeboy, you played yourself...
