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)
