    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

    Hook

    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
    Betrayal(echoes)
