It's a Shame

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Hey yo, here's a real scoop, homie Loc

Them fools around my way gettin' high off gun smoke

And I ain't talkin' about the high like Indo

The kind of high that make you call your kinfolks

And tell Loc, Johnny's dead

A fourteen year old kid put a nine to his head

All because he wanted that gear he was sporting

Gimme that while you're at it, gimme them Jordans

Johnny tryin' to jet, homie wasn't hearing that

Johnny tryin' to run and got gatted in the back

Now tell me what happens to the way things used to be?

'Cause in this game, there'll be no future, G

When will all of y'all learn

That if you're playing with fire too long, you're bound to get burned

This ain't a small thing I'm addressing

It's a big thing, take it from the daddy as a lesson

Shame, it's a shame

Shame, it's a shame

It's a shame, it's a shame alright

Shame, it's a shame

Shame, it's a

It's a shame, the way this thing goes down

How one lay you down just to show he don't play around

He goes to sleep with a head full of anger

And wakes up involved in a child's gang banger

I'm talkin' about a tisket, a tasket

Not knowing next day he'll be laying in the casket

So what you think of that, son?

In the arcade they playin', the games ain't fun

Something like Pac-man

Same name but the game as you put it in the sack

And running to the next board

And gat down the fools standing in the way of the door

There's no board and no points

And in this game, then he saw Pac-man wants

The game that goes for always blowin'

Then you'll slip up and they'll smoke you

Shame, it's a shame

Shame, it's a shame

It's a shame, it's a shame, alright

Shame, it's a shame

Shame, it's a shame

None of this exist with the word peace (brother)

You gotta do more than two fingers, man, please

Get a game that they gotta go by

Instead of 'Watch out quick, I send him to the sky'

There ain't nothing to be playin' with

So listen what I give and what I be sayin', kid

Take it from a kid's point of view

'Cause on my way to school, I'll be watching you

Big, big daddy in his caddy with all of his boys

It only had weeks, it's a joy

That's the first part, second part has havin' hard

But when you get count, you know how to restart

You gotta know how to watch your back

'Cause if you're slack, huh, you're going in the sack

I advise y'all all watch out or the game

'Cause the game ain't nothin' but a

Shame, it's a shame

Shame, it's a shame

It's a shame, it's a shame, alright

Shame, it's a shame

Shame, it's a shame
