Deadly Game
C-Bo Lyrics

You know I never was no choir boy
I have never been a well-behaved or innocent person

Your folk's got a gang of priors
Your family has a long history of criminal records

Maybe that's why the one-time's be trifling
Perhaps that's why the police are always harassing me

Trying to give a young nigga thirty-five to life
Attempting to sentence a young person like me to a lengthy prison term

When I ain't even done nothin wrong, officer
I haven't committed any crimes, officer

I have no info to offer you
I don't have any information to provide you

He asked my name, so I came off the brain
He asked for my name, so I gave him a response without thinking

Told him, "I'm John Doe and this is my ho Jane"
I told him a fake name and claimed that the person with me is my partner

He said, "Smart mouth nigga, don't make me do you"
He warned me not to talk back or provoke him

Put my thumbprint in his high-tech computer
He took my thumbprint and entered it into a technologically advanced computer system

My name came back with a warrant, felo-nies
My name was matched with an arrest warrant for felony crimes

Now they got me downtown, spread my anus
Now I am being subjected to a strip search in a downtown location

Buttock, I'm like, "What the fuck is it now?"
I'm surprised and frustrated, wondering what the issue is now

He said, "You robbed a liquor store, we know where, when and how"
He accused me of robbing a liquor store and claimed to have detailed knowledge of the incident

It's foul, they got a nigga tore up from the floor up
It's unfair, they have completely ruined my life

My mom in the courtroom looking like she 'bout to throw up
My mom is in the courtroom, visibly upset and on the verge of vomiting

It's a strong armed robbery, strapped in the commission
It was a robbery where force was used, and I was armed during the act

At my pre-trial conference, D.A. had a proposition
During my pre-trial conference, the District Attorney presented a proposal

He said if I lose at trial I'd get 38 with the L on top
He offered me a deal where if I lose at trial, I would receive a 38-year sentence with a life term added

But take the deal he'd give me five with having most of the charges dropped
But if I accept the deal, he would give me a five-year sentence with most of the charges being dismissed

Hopped on the deal quicker than Flash, it's sad
I agreed to the deal immediately, like The Flash, which is unfortunate

I admit that, but two and a half ain't bad I got getback
I acknowledge my decision, but getting a two and a half-year sentence is not so bad, and I seek revenge

They sentenced me to five, two I gotta bring
They gave me a five-year sentence, but I only have to serve two years

It's only strike one swing, batter-batter, swing
This is just my first strike, like in baseball, so I still have a chance to avoid a severe punishment

It's 1-8-7 on the D.A
The D.A (District Attorney) is being targeted for harm

'Cause they ain't trying to give a young motherfucker no leeway
Because they refuse to show any leniency or flexibility to a young person like me

Yes, yes y'all
Indeed, indeed everyone

1-8-7 on a whole courtroom, motherfuck 'em all
Targeting everyone in the courtroom for violence and expressing strong contempt for them

You better swing, batter-batter, swing
You should take action and fight back

'Cause once you get your third felony, it's fifty years you got to bring
If you accumulate three serious crimes, you will face a mandatory fifty-year sentence

It's a deadly game of baseball
The criminal justice system is a dangerous and life-altering game

So when they try to pull you over, shoot him in his face, y'all
So when the police try to stop you, respond with violence and shoot them in the face

Fresh out the pen, unrehabilitated
Just released from prison, without undergoing any effective rehabilitation

Doing hella good, and my P.O. hates it
I'm doing extremely well, which annoys and angers my parole officer

Hates dick, she's a dyke lesbian bitch
She despises men, as she is a lesbian

Can't wait to violate for me for some petty-ass shit
She eagerly looks forward to finding a reason to punish me for minor offenses

I got to get a job, so I'm filling out applications
I need to find employment, so I'm completing job applications

Fighting the temptation, to slang nation
I'm resisting the temptation to engage in drug dealing

Minimum wage don't get it
Earning the minimum wage isn't sufficient

Five bucks an hour don't cut it, man, I ain't with it
Working for five dollars an hour is not acceptable to me, I'm not interested

So fuck it, I went and struck it rich on a dope sack
So I decided to make money quickly by selling drugs

My homie gave me two, and told me to bring him four back
My friend gave me two drugs, instructing me to sell them and bring back twice as many

Now, it's time for me to start having things
Now, I can begin acquiring material possessions and enjoying a better lifestyle

I flips me a Coupe and painted it candy apple green
I purchased a coupe car and had it painted in an attractive candy apple green color

It gleams, clear coat sprayed on thickly
The car shines brightly due to the application of a thick layer of clear coat

Fools out to get me 'cause my shit is looking sticky
Enemies are trying to harm me because they see that I possess valuable assets

I'm at the club and I can feel them suckers scoping
I'm at the club and I can sense that my enemies are watching me closely

I'm knowing they plotting on me, but I'm still hoping
I'm aware that they are planning something against me, but I still have optimism

That they won't fry me, unless they wanna die
I hope that they won't try to harm me unless they want to face deadly consequences

They will be dripping more blood than Mrs. Simpson was
They will have a significant amount of bloodshed, even surpassing that of Mrs. Simpson's case

Sho' nuff, ain't no bluff, here them suckers come
Indeed, without question, here come those enemies

Got me reaching up under the panel to handle the forty-four caliber gun, uh!
I have to reach under the car dashboard to grab and handle a .44 caliber handgun

Spun his ass around with one of the fat Magnum rounds
I quickly turned him around by shooting him with a powerful Magnum bullet

Got him on the ground making funny sounds, oh!
I made him fall to the ground, where he is now groaning in pain

I got a problem, witnesses ten
I have a problem because there are ten witnesses to this crime

Positive identifacation
They can positively identify me as the perpetrator

On swoll' in the pen, cellmates with X-Raided
I became muscular while in prison, and I shared a cell with the rapper X-Raided

Now I'm on parole, five years later
Now, I am on parole after five years

The Bo loc is ready to have me a ball
I, C-Bo, am prepared to have a great time and enjoy myself

Fuck my P.O., I'm goin AWOL
I don't care about my parole officer, I'm going Absent Without Leave

And you all can suck this dick
All of you can perform a sexual act on me

I'm sick and tired of going through all this bitch-made shit
I am exhausted and fed up with dealing with all these weak and annoying situations

I got two strikes right now as we speak, and peep
I currently have two major offenses on my record, and take notice

I'm not 'bout to let you motherfuckers do me
I am not going to allow you individuals to control or manipulate me

A petty with a prior will buy your fate
Having a minor offense in the past will determine and seal your destiny

With Wilson in the office, you gets no date
With Wilson as the authority figure, you will not receive any lenient treatment or favorable decisions

So I'm putting all my belongings on Greyhound bus #22
Therefore, I am packing up all my possessions and boarding Greyhound bus number 22

Bound to another state, me and my crew
Heading towards a different state along with my group of friends

Unpacked my shit, stacked my grip
I unpacked my belongings and organized my money

California and Pete Wilson can suck my dick!
I have strong disdain for California and its governor, Pete Wilson

And if you didn't already know that you couldn't trust his ass
And if you weren't already aware that you shouldn't trust him

Just look how he did Polly Klass
Just observe how he exploited the tragic death of Polly Klass

Used her death and her family's name
He took advantage of her death and the reputation of her family

So he can yank more votes and political fame
In order to gain more votes and enhance his political reputation

It's a shame that I'm the one they say is a monster
It's unfortunate that I am the one labeled as a monster

Juvenile delinquent, steppin out of sync with
I am seen as a juvenile delinquent, someone who deviates from the norm

But fuck that, I ain't going out like a punk
But I refuse to be defeated or humiliated easily

That ain't my style, rip him from his ass crack to his nut sacks
That's not how I operate, I will physically harm him severely

Now, they wanna kill a nigga like me
Now, they want to murder an individual like me

I blast one, I blast two, that's strike three
I fire my weapon twice at them, symbolizing that it's their third and final strike

So when they try to pull you over, take them on a chase, y'all
Therefore, when the police attempt to stop you, engage in a pursuit and try to escape
