"I want the public to know.. what goes on"

"I mean, look at the situation - be real"



[Verse One: Guru]

The names have been changed to protect the innocent

Each step is intricate, I rep magnificent

Knew this kid named Ronnie, used to make cash with Caesar

They made a lot of money back in the 80's crack fever

Caesar was an overachiever, a kingpin and 18-and-a-half

He got knocked and left Ronnie to watch the team and the stash

Plus his crib, his jewels, his whip and his girl

And Ronnie's self-interests had him livin in a different world

He rocked Caesar's chains, he put Caesar's rings

Smokin mad wools all day, with Caesar's change

Not to mention he pushed up on Caesar's wifey

A move like that my man, extremely sheisty

It all got back to Caesar in the bing

They found Ronnie's body in the playground by the swings

Anyone can get it, for sure it don't matter dawg

Especially when a nigga tries commitin sabotage



[Premier scratching Guru samples]

"There ain't nobody to trust"

"It's got me ready.. ready.. ready.. ready.. ready to bust"

"It's like sabotage, there ain't nobody to trust"

""It's like sabotage"

"It's got me ready.. ready.. ready.. ready.. ready to bust"



[Verse Two: Guru]







Treachery, deception, it's best to keep a weapon

When you think that they be breddern, they underhand your plan

It's over for the cowardly, we grow more potent hourly

I'm knowin where the power be, I'm schemin to get even

Dissension can occur from within one's ranks

The chain can be weakened, by just one link

Pricks be galavantin from one crew to the next

Musical click-ass niggaz catch two to the chest
