Paulie Rhyme + Deedot - Cruel Game

He plays this cruel game

It will be so wrong

You can never imagine

He makes you regret it

Taking all you have

Putting you down so deep

You don’t wanna let it go

You don’t wanna let it go…

I’m like 8 years old, see my mom’s getting strangled

With a phone cord wrapped around her neck,

Can’t protect,

My intellect, witness to domestic neglect

Take steps, before I see my own chest compress

feel helpless as I watch a man lose control

My mom’s swole cause my brother she hold

Slip deeper in whole

Left by my real soul,

As it moves from my body,

I wish I could go,

But I gotta hold on, until my mom can move on

See a better way and try and correct this wrong,

The thorns that move in when the poverty’s strick

R.I.P., Yo Ronald Reagan can suck my dick,

Cause when he move in, that money move out

That crack move in, with death the only route

government assisted in creating black statistics

adults get lifted from glass pipes gifts

Air lifts and Navy ships took the blind eye

When it ain’t the dope boy wishing our people die

Couldn’t infect us like they did Africa

So they inject us with Crack rock and Digi dust

He plays this cruel game

It will be so wrong

You can never imagine

He makes you regret it

Taking all you have

Putting you down so deep

You don’t wanna let it go

You don’t wanna let it go…

Now I’m 19, shipped to a foreign environment

Transplanted, mind damage, mentality hinders me,

From taking problems to solutions,

At the bottom and use to it

Life no means the worse, but somehow I feel curse,

Never felt the lack of money, girls never a problem,

the constant flow of drugs is what’s fucking it up

Made me unsociable, bugged out emotional

Memories of poverty, substance abusing family

Pops black label, step dad Bacardi to the head

Mom’s spaced out like she the dawn of the dead

Can’t turn to the block, cause that’s what turning us back

Hope not option, Suicide thoughts nuttin to stop’em

Now I sleep all day, get drunk all night

Out of my element I fight, moving farther from the light

Must be the end world…

He plays this cruel game

It will be so wrong

You can never imagine

He makes you regret it

Taking all you have

Putting you down so deep

You don’t wanna let it go

You don’t wanna let it go…

Now years later, time to put the past to the past

Sometimes I’m still mad, but life was all that we had,

We look for answers when reflect on situations,

I look for answers now in peace and meditations,

My peoples they did the best in that particular instance,

When you understand the moment you understand decisions,

We was afflicted, like leprosy or heart conditions,

Combined with environment and educational systems,

We was doomed from the beginning,

So in a sense we winning,

Climb the mountain and survive to see the ending,

And pass the story on to the tree that we are seeding,

If you believe you will achieve

To honor family…

(and it’s like that…)

He plays this cruel game

It will be so wrong

You can never imagine

He makes you regret it

Taking all you have

Putting you down so deep

You don’t wanna let it go

You don’t wanna let it go…
