Don't Play My Trick on Me

Yo, Reuben was broke, had no cash to pay, Owed Shimon stacks, but couldn't find a way. He hit up Levi, his homie for advice, Levi said, "Bruh, listen up real nice. When Shimon comes 'round, act a little wild, Whistle, dance, go crazy like a child. Make him think you lost your mind for real, He'll walk away, forget the deal." Don't play my trick on me, I see, I'm the one who gave you that strategy. You can fool the world, but not your friend, What goes 'round comes back in the end. Reuben did it, actin' like a clown, Shimon saw him trip, and backed down. Loan was gone, written off real quick, Reuben was feelin' slick with the trick. But time passed, and he borrowed from Levi, Thought he could run the same game, sly. When Levi came 'round, Reuben started to act, Laughin' wild, speakin' nonsense, that's a fact. Don't play my trick on me, I see, I'm the one who gave you that strategy. You can fool the world, but not your friend, What goes 'round comes back in the end. Life plays tricks, we all face the pain, Memories hit hard like a runaway train. But G gave us the key, forgetfulness in time, He helps us heal when life ain't sublime. But don't forget who gave you that gift, Still gotta stay real, don't let your soul drift. Troubles fade, but keep your mind sharp, Stay on the path, don't let your heart depart. So Reuben thought he could play the game, But Levi said, "Nah, you know my name. Don't pull my own moves, can't trick the trickster, I wrote the playbook, I'm the real fixture." See, life has cycles, what you give, you get, Can't run from karma, so don't forget. Forget the pain, but don't forget the way, Keep it real, keep it true every day. Don't play my trick on me, I see, I'm the one who gave you that strategy. You can fool the world, but not your friend, What goes 'round comes back in the end. Life got tricks, but don't be blind, Stay true, don't lose your mind. Forget the pain, but don't forget the plan, Keep it real, stand up like a man.
