You're entangled in a great big ball of confusion
 Trapped in a world that is just an illusion
 You're thinking it's real but that's not what's happening
 Well we're here to let you know the real deal
 (That's why we're rappin')
 (Yo)Life's just a game one great big riddle
 And we're all wrapped up smack dab in the middle
 Play the Lotto everyday in hopes you're gonna win it
 But it's just another game and you're wrapped up in it
 You haven't won it yet,but you ain't had enough
 'Cause you know it like a poet,you're (all wrapped up)

 All wrapped up(x2)

 We're gonna rap about the game that people are playin'
 (Yo)If you're ready,just listen to what I'm sayin'
 Talking about homeboys and the fly young ladies
 Men,woman,sons,daughters and the little-bitty babies
 Speaking on the def jams everybody's be-bopping
 Super stupid,cold chillin' and the party is rockin'
 Soap opera in the day got the ladies cold illin'
 "One life to live"(you know it) and " All my chillin'"
 You know you gotta have it,too much ain't enough
 Because the fact of the matter is you're all wrapped up

 All wrapped up (x2)

 Doctors wrapped up in the ill and the sick
 We got wrapped up in politics
 Some wrapped up in living long
 (And you're)All wrapped up in the beat of his song
 Gamblers wrapped up in making bets
 And the lovers wrapped up in this game called sex
 (Now trouble's)Out there and it won't ignore ya
 Don't look for any trouble,it'll surely look for ya
 If you try to play tough then it's just your luck
 That it'll call your bluff and then trouble's gotcha all wrapped up

 All wrapped up (x2)

 You're seen hanging on the corner nine days a week
 (You gonna blow)You don't know you're wrapped up in the streets
 Sporting 50-dollar sneakers and all the money's spent
 While Mom's (all wrapped up) Trying to pay rent
 We got the weekeng girls and all you fly guys
 Wrapped up in a world of 9-to-5
 We got the sly,slick and wicked,ain't it funny
 (Yo)How they're (all wrapped up) Cold trying to take money
 If you get it,you're with it,(If) You don't,that's tough
 And you know the real reason is you're
 (All wrapped up)

 All wrapped up (x4
