Papoose - Sharades lyrics

rate me

East Coast pop a bottle wit y'all

West Coast pop a bottle wit y'all

To all the dead beat dads you should find you a job

Your child is the only person that could promise tomorrow

I could do what I wanna do, why can't I?

Let a thug get rich, how can I?

I'm watching all of you rappers, don't you realize?

Let's play a game of sharades, who am I?

There have been times in my life

I've been wondering why

Still somehow I believe we all will survive

Gimme the keys to Shyne Po handcuffs

Gimme the keys to Lil' Kim handcuffs

Gimme the keys to C-Murder handcuffs

So I could tighten 'em and let the cell slam shut

Gangsta rapper, it's time to man up

'Fore I tighten your handcuffs

Cause they all make songs about killing eachother

When I bring 'em in for questioning they all squeal on eachother

You stick a needle deep in your skin and carve it wit ink

You call it tattoo, I call it the mark of the beast

We identify criminals who rob on the streets

By scars or tattoos don't you bother to think?

They blame me for Biggie murder, but the case died out

So now that's for me to know and for you to find out

I got the industry on lock and key

Who am I?

I'm the hip-hop police

I could do what I wanna do, why can't I?

Let a thug get rich, how can I?

I'm watching all of you rappers, don't you realize?

Let's play a game of sharades, who am I?

There have been times in my life

I've been wondering why

Still somehow I believe we all will survive

Gimme the keys to Beanie Sigel handcuffs

Gimme the keys to Irv Gotti handcuffs

Gimme the keys to Snoop Dogg handcuffs

He got acquitted, he lucked up

They makin' more money than me, damn rap stars

Pull Jigga over maybe there's a gun in his car

Took a sexy young lady wit a push-up bra

Got her to frame Mystikal, he ain't rape that broad

Made an example out of Kim, Chi Ali and Shyne

Tony Yayo on parole, he owe me some time

Take the gangsta out of rap, that's said to deceive you

What I'm trying to do is make hip-hop illegal

They blame me for Pac murder, but the case died out

So now that's for me to know and for you to find out

I got the industry on lock and key

Who am I?

I'm the hip-hop police

I could do what I wanna do, why can't I?

Let a thug get rich, how can I?

I'm watching all of you rappers, don't you realize?

Let's play a game of sharades, who am I?

There have been times in my life

I've been wondering why

Still somehow I believe we all will survive

Can you recognize a cop when his clothes is plain?

You gotta identify him it's like a game of sharades

Take a loan from a bank, I'm borrowing money

I take a loan from my homey's, I'm laundering money

Called the narcotic cops when I sold my dimes

Called the gun boys on me when I toted my nine

Now I hold a microphone is you out of your mind?

Hip-hop police is hip-hop a crime?

Freedom of speech y'all think so evil

Rather give freedom to my speech than give freedom to my people

Instead of watching us you should of watched Ground Zero

Schwarzenegger killing in movies but he a hero

To all of the rappers we gotta stay in cognito

To do it our way like Carlito

Cause they want us thinking their way

If everybody lived their life the same way

We'd all meet our makers the same day

I could do what I wanna do, why can't I?

Let a thug get rich, how can I?

I'm watching all of you rappers, don't you realize?

Let's play a game of sharades, who am I?

There have been times in my life

I've been wondering why

Still somehow I believe we all will survive
