[Verse 2]
Preach brother
They say the truth will set you free, but I see signs of treachery
Go on perpetually, here's✦ how they get you G
They use the tricks, just to juice your mix
But cross be in their heart like a vampire✦ stabbed with a crucifix
I had the enemy✦ in my vicinity✦ with the false identity✦
Of a friend to me to injure✦ me
They ride along✦ just to guide you wrong
Play like they beside✦ you strong, and start to faking✦ moves✦ like Olajuwon
Who side you on, revealing✦ all that low down dirty✦ dealing✦
I can see your skin peeling it changed like a chameleon
First you believe in them, but once you disagree with them
They try to get Magilla repertoire✦ and that ain't even✦ them
And all those who has betrayed, be fast to fade
Cause they cast a shade, with the masquerade
What's dealt, is low blows below✦ the belt
Lord have mercy,✦ I know how Julius Caesar✦ must have felt
I start to think back when I was just a youth
I should have listened to the words of the God Born Truth
He said, "look out for black snakes✦ they all up in your cypher
Black snakes✦ you can't see therefore they sneak up and they bite ya'"
They get to flippin'✦ cause they think you slippin'✦
So remember, don't get to slippin'✦ cause they get to flippin'✦
And trippin',✦ what's that you grippin',✦ beside✦ your hippin'✦
You think my heart is skippin',✦ go save that game for Scottie Pippen✦
[Chorus]
It's a shame, to see how far left people be going
They got game, to think that all this time you said you know them
It ain't the same, Aah, so now you see the way they flowin'✦
Now who they blame, ain't nothing✦ but a wolf in sheep's clothing✦
[Verse 3]
Now, wait a minute,✦ I'm starting to see lotsa,✦ hip-hop✦ imposters
Is rap a category at the Oscars?✦
Too much Nino✦ Brown up in your life
Cause since then, man I done seen Wesley✦ Snipes✦ playin' a drag queen
But yet and still you want to mimic the stars of cinema✦
Pretending huh? So full of it they need an enema✦
Cause see dig, they all like to talk big
But then they want to renege,✦ when there's✦ a curling iron in their wig
You talking loud and saying nothing,✦ what's the world becoming?
The frontin', now pay attention you may learn something
Now, I ain't knocking you, but come on let's be logical
You know that it's impossible to stop the unstoppable
I would suggest that they, go back and check my resume✦
Cause tunes✦ that I made yesterday, can hang out with the best today✦
Peace to Easy✦ Mo, cause he makes✦ the beats to flow
And I grab the microphone and flip it like pizza✦ dough
[Chorus]
Shame
Now who the blame
I need to be the Mayor, so I can change the things around here
I need to be the Governor,✦ I need to be the Governor✦
