Words: l.dukes, n.glover music: j.saddler - 1987 from the album ba-dop-boom-bangAll wrapped up(x2)Youre entangled in a great big ball of confusionTrapped in a world that is just an illusionYoure thinking its real but thats not whats happeningWell,were here to let you know the real deal(thats why were rappin)(yo)lifes just a game,one great big riddleAnd were all wrapped up,smack dab in the middlePlay the lotto everyday in hopes youre gonna win itBut its just another game and youre wrapped up in itYou havent won it yet,but you aint had enoughcause you know it like a poet,youre (all wrapped up)All wrapped up(x2)Were gonna rap about the game that people are playin(yo)if youre ready,just listen to what Im sayinTalking about homeboys and the fly young ladiesMen,woman,sons,daughters and the little-bitty babiesSpeaking on the def jams everybodys be-boppingSuper stupid,cold chillin and the party is rockinSoap opera in the day got the ladies cold illinOne life to live(you know it) and all my chillinYou know you gotta have it,too much aint enoughBecause the fact of the matter is youre all wrapped upAll wrapped up (x2)Doctors wrapped up in the ill and the sickWe got wrapped up in politicsSome wrapped up in living long(and youre)all wrapped up in the beat of his songGamblers wrapped up in making betsAnd the lovers wrapped up in this game called sex(now troubles)out there and it wont ignore yaDont look for any trouble,itll surely look for yaIf you try to play tough then its just your luckThat itll call your bluff and then troubles gotcha all wrapped upAll wrapped up (x2)Youre seen hanging on the corner nine days a week(you gonna blow)you dont know youre wrapped up in the streetsSporting 50-dollar sneakers and all the moneys spentWhile moms (all wrapped up) trying to pay rentWe got the weekeng girls and all you fly guysWrapped up in a world of 9-to-5We got the sly,slick and wicked,aint it funny(yo)how theyre (all wrapped up) cold trying to take moneyIf you get it,youre with it,(if) you dont,thats toughAnd you know the real reason is youre(all wrapped up)All wrapped up (x4)
