To Play or To Be Played Lyrics by Ryan SamueŁ

To Play or To Be Played (Concept II)

2022

"That is not idealistic, that's just real"
"That is just stupid"
What
What what what
"And it's like a sad story, but its real
Because this world is such a uhm
And when I say 'this world'
I don't mean in the ideal sense
I mean, everyday, every little thing we do
It's such a give me, give me, give me
Everyone back off"
I will not be played
Don't agree with
It's insane
No our odds are not the same in this game
We will not be tamed
If this life is just a maze
Tell me who gon' just get playеd in the end
To play or to be playеd
Mandem will talk
But when it comes time to be on war
They pulling out shanks and coming in raw
Like
How are the one's that you're trusting
Always 'on sight' when it's your time
Rushing
Say they don't mind cause it's your life, fuck it
Rather be multi-tasking
Than tasking these niggas my passion
I'll be on the set till I'm gone
I might not be home for a moment
Jesus please forgive me for my wrongs
I am not a slave
I'm a owner
Even before I'm gone
I'm a gonner
And God just gon' keep coming through for all us
Yeah he gon' show us
He ain't gon never fold up
Sleeves he'll keep 'em rolled up
He ain't gon' never hold up
Even for a moment
He said we was chosen
To be on the focus
He said we should grow up
Not to be on the corners
"You know
I don't want them to be like
They know what I'm gonna say because it's polite
They know what I'm gonna say
And even if I give them trouble
You know what I'm saying
Ain't that what we're supposed to do
I'm not saying I'm gonna rule the world
Or I'm gonna change the world
But guarantee that I will spark the brain
That will change the world"
-Tupac Shakur
