Lyrics

"Yo, are you a pimp, a hustler?"
 "No I'm not."
 "Are you a man, and can you stand alone like a man has to sometimes?"
 "Yes I can."
 "Are you willing, to go out there and save the lives of our children, even if it means losing your own life?"
 "Yes I am."
 "I believe you Jeru, you're ready."
 *You've no-no-nothing to worry about*
 Verse One:
 Now, I don't push a Lex
 Others had their turn to flex, Jeru is up next
 All these so called players up in the rap game
 Got brothers on the corner selling cooked cocaine
 It used to be LaToya and jim hats
 But now it's uzis, macs and g-packs of cracks
 Everybody's psycho or some type of goodfellow
 But me I keep it real that's all swine like jello
 Don't drink Cristal, and I can't stand Mo
 Never received currency for moving a kilo
 Or an ounce, make em bounce to this fake-pimp free flow
 I never knew hustlers confessed in stereo
 Or on video get caught you'll know who turned State's
 Evidence, murder weapon, confession and fingerprints
 Mama always said watch what comes out your mouth
 Tight case for the DA from here to down South
 Knowledge wisdom understanding like King Solomon's wealth
 You're a player but only because you be playin yourself
 Chorus:
 With all that Big Willie talk, hop, you're playin yaself
 With all that big gun talk, bop, you're playin yaself
 With all that rah rah rah, you're playin yaself
 You're playin yaself, you're playin yaself
 With all that rah rah rah, you're playin yaself
 With all that big gun talk, bop, you're playin yaself
 With all that Big Willie talk, hop, you're playin yaself
 You're playin yaself, you're playin yaself
 Verse Two:
 Now these ladies is lookin pretty from city to city
 I refined a few I met, around the country
 The nitty gritty, it's all reality, no question
 Actual fact like tight jeans cause yeast infections
 And sisters with good minds get no respect when
 Their ass is all hangin out, playin the bar section
 of the club shake what your mama gave ya, back to the lab
 I drop the truth, cause rhyming is more than just my craft
 Or a way to get ass, or fast cash, or blasted
 Black women, make sure you're respected
 When niggaz is kickin that old off the wall shit,
 Let em know from jump: "Dead it", you're not ignorant
 Knowledge wisdom understanding is the key to wealth
 Put some clothes on that ass if you respect yourself
 Chorus:
 With those hooker type wears hon you're playin yaself
 With those skin tight jeans baby you're playin yaself
 Everything all exposed you're playin yaself
 You're playin yaself, you're playin yaself
 Everything all exposed you're playin yaself
 With those skin tight jeans baby you're playin yaself
 With those hooker type wears hon you're playin yaself
 You're playin yaself, you're playin yaself
 Verse Three:
 Now, I don't bust a tec,
 Bubble drugs in the projects, or use mics to sell sex
 Niggaz, nowadays is all about this
 So much ying yang, it's ridiculous
 If you got so much cheese, where are the black distributors
 And these record companies shake em down like mobsters
 But imposters, like commercial locks are not rastas
 Always fakin moves, never makin moves
 Asses shake, bottles pop, the government is breakin down you fools
 You work all week and give the devil back his loot for jewels
 And the steak on your plate is filled with chemicals
 still, brothers leave brothers all battered and bruised
 on the streets won't see snakes on my feet
 The race is on, but I won't compete
 In this competition, because I have a greater mission
 I hope that you listen
 Knowledge wisdom and understanding brings long life and health
 Think anything else and ya playin yaself
 Chorus:
 So all that Big Willie talk, hop, you're playin yaself
 And all those skin tight jeans, hon, you're playin yaself
 And all that rah rah rah, you're playin yaself
 You're playin yaself, you're playin yaself
 And all those hooker type wears baby you're playin yaself
 And all that big gun talk money you're playin yaself
 Everything all exposed you're playin yaself
 You're playin yaself, you're playin yaself
 *Posdnous: "I don't play"*
