 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)
