You Played Yourself
ICE-T
This is it, dope from the fly kidThe Ice mic is back with the high bidSuckers you've lost cos players you're not, gangstas you ain'tYou're faintin', punk, if you ever heard a gunshotYo, the pusher, the player, the pimp gangsta, the hustlerHigh Roller, dead pres folderIs cold lampin' like a black king on a throneEvil E turn up the microphoneSo I can ill and break on the rollin' tapeAnother album to make? GreatIslam turn the bass kick up a bitHype the snare, now I got a place to sitAnd ride the track like a black mack in his 'lacHit the corner slow where the girls are atAnd kick game the way it should be doneHow you gonna drop science? You're dumbStupid ignorant, don't even talk to meAt school you dropped Math, Science and HistoryAnd then you get on the mic and try to act smartWell let me tell you one thing, you got heartTo perpetrate, you're bait, so just waitTill the press shove a mic in your faceOr you meet Boogie Down or Chuck DStetsasonic or the Big DaddyAnd they ask you about the game you claim you gotDrop science now, why not?You start to sweat and fret, it gets hotHow'd you get into this spot?You played yourselfYo, yo, you played yourselfI'm no authority but I know the D-E-A-LWhen it comes to dealin' with the femalesWhat you got they want, cash is what they needSlip sucker and they'll break you with speedBut you meet a freak, you try to turn her outSpendin' money's what I'm talkin' aboutBut you fool out, your pockets got blew outAnd after the date, no boots, you got threw outMad and shook cos your duckets got tookCall her up, phone's off the hookBut who told you to front and flaunt your grip?You can't buy no relationshipYou played yourselfYo, homeboy, you played yourselfI'm in the MC game, a lot of MC's frontAnd for the money they're sell out stuntsBut they claim that they're rich and that they keep cashYo, let me straighten this out fastTwo hundred thousand records soldAnd these brothers start yellin' 'bout gold?You better double that, then double that againAnd still don't get sooped, my friendYou think you've made it, you're just a lucky manGuess who controls your destiny, fansBut you diss 'em cos you think you're a starThat attitude is rude, you won't get farCos they'll turn on you quick, you'll drop like a brickUnemployment's where you'll sitNo friends cos you dissed 'em tooNo money, no crew, you're throughYou played yourselfThat's right, you played yourselfYou played yourselfYo, yo, you played yourselfYou got problems, you claim you need a breakBut every dollar you get you takeStraight to the Dopeman, try to get a beam upYour idle time is spent tryna scheme upAnother way to get money for a jumboWhen you go to sleep you count Five-O'sLyin' and cheatin', everybody you're beatin'Dirty clothes and you're skinny cos you haven't been eatin'You ripped off all your family and your friendsNowhere does your larceny endAnd then you get an idea for a big moveAn armed robbery smoothBut everything went wrong, somebody got shotYou couldn't get away, the cops roll, you're poppedAnd now you're locked, yo, lampin' on Death RowSociety's fault? NoNobody put the crack into the pipeNobody made you smoke off your lifeYou thought that you could do dope and still stay cool? FoolYou played yourselfYou played yourselfAin't nobody else's fault, you played yourself
