Words: L.Dukes, N.Glover Music: J.Saddler - 1987 From the Album
Ba-Dop-Boom-Bang
All wrapped up(x2)
You`re entangled in a great big ball of confusion
Trapped in a world that is just an illusion
You`re thinking it`s real but that`s not what`s happening
Well,we`re here to let you know the real deal
(That`s why we`re rappin`)
(Yo)Life`s just a game,one great big riddle
And we`re all wrapped up,smack dab in the middle
Play the Lotto everyday in hopes you`re gonna win it
But it`s just another game and you`re wrapped up in it
You haven`t won it yet,but you ain`t had enough
`Cause you know it like a poet,you`re (all wrapped up)
All wrapped up(x2)
We`re gonna rap about the game that people are playin`
(Yo)If you`re ready,just listen to what I`m sayin`
Talking about homeboys and the fly young ladies
Men,woman,sons,daughters and the little-bitty babies
Speaking on the def jams everybody`s be-bopping
Super stupid,cold chillin` and the party is rockin`
Soap opera in the day got the ladies cold illin`
One life to live(you know it) and All my chillin`
You know you gotta have it,too much ain`t enough
Because the fact of the matter is you`re all wrapped up
All wrapped up (x2)
Doctors wrapped up in the ill and the sick
We got wrapped up in politics
Some wrapped up in living long
(And you`re)All wrapped up in the beat of his song
Gamblers wrapped up in making bets
And the lovers wrapped up in this game called sex
(Now trouble`s)Out there and it won`t ignore ya
Don`t look for any trouble,it`ll surely look for ya
If you try to play tough then it`s just your luck
That it`ll call your bluff and then trouble`s gotcha all wrapped up
All wrapped up (x2)
You`re seen hanging on the corner nine days a week
(You gonna blow)You don`t know you`re wrapped up in the streets
Sporting 50-dollar sneakers and all the money`s spent
While Mom`s (all wrapped up) Trying to pay rent
We got the weekeng girls and all you fly guys
Wrapped up in a world of 9-to-5
We got the sly,slick and wicked,ain`t it funny
(Yo)How they`re (all wrapped up) Cold trying to take money
If you get it,you`re with it,(If) You don`t,that`s tough
And you know the real reason is you`re
(All wrapped up)
All wrapped up (x4)
