Lyric Song It z a Set Up: yquot;We got news for yayquot; ygt; scratched by DJ Premier

Chorus Guru and Hannibal

Guru While they devise our demisewe grow wise
Hann Upset the set upthe element of surprise
both IT Z A SET UP
Guru It s time to upset the set up

Verse One Guru

Though they conspirefake us to make us retire
With the burning desire we make it out of the crossfire
Thoughts are higherelevating and focused
while the path is narrowfor those like us
Primo beats provoke us to meditate like Zen
With the will and the strengthof a million men
While they introspectwhere nothing is met
It s been that way for a while so much has come and then went
But I m confidenta feware due to redeem
their respective kingdomswith an abundance of cream
So if I were to schemeit would be on a realer dream
Like formin effective teams to filter the smokescreens
You totin in jeansdon t even know the true envy
The man I m pickin apartand plus they both were friends to me
Past trivial pursuits like East and West coast feuds
Come against me on the micmany and most will lose
Like most dudesI love this hip hopand this rap stuff
But I don t like the showswhere the ignorant act up
While some ll be rippin itthey be in the crowd wildin
Flippin on kidsfor the chains and medallions
Or the kid they don t likefrom a beef from way back
And decide that s the nightperfect time for payback
It s wack for the groupplus the others who came
to see a fat ass showinstead there s bullets aflame

Chorus

Verse Two Hannibal

Still waters run deep this is leagues in depth
Quiet as kept they slept we crept
Society puts the squeeze on MC s like iron grips of death
From here on in peace and blessings long cherish your breath
Gifted and Rhyme U now how we dostay true
Follow through lay down the lawcause it s probable and overdue
All systems overduemy guns know me
I only hold a few my nigga for only a few hold me
Never forget the ones before memy momma told me
sacrifice for the ones behind me leadin the seeds
Blind leadsblack on blackcrime to me
Inclined to refine my creed I eat thinkin lead
Conceive to make the beast bleedenhance thoughts
like tossed trees cross the Earth three fourths
Let my offspring feed all threecorpus delectis cost me
Lost and found on enemy groundquoted although
they don t know how we get down at sound speed we breed
Mo more confined to blind greed and self destructive deeds
Heed my freedom war cryof course I m NY
Hug my peeps that diedthe loved ones alive
Reinforce and fly high as I lie so shall I
from New I to Cali next plateau UNIversal
Unleash the black rain
Show em who in controlelectro magnetic
pull on the holeill as toters bang out
Til we sittin on swole the strongest way to grow
The only way I knowUnderground Railroad on track
No physical or mental chain can shackle that
