It`z A Set Up Lyrics

We got news for ya" --> scratched by DJ Premier 

  

 Chorus: Guru and Hannibal 

  

 [Guru]	While they devise our demise, we grow wise 

 [Hann]	Upset the set up, the element of surprise 

 [both]	IT'Z A SET UP 

 [Guru]	It's time to upset the set up 

  

 Verse One: Guru 

  

 Though they conspire, fake us to make us retire 

 With the burning desire we make it out of the crossfire 

 Thoughts are higher, elevating and focused 

 while the path is narrow, for those like us 

 Primo beats provoke us to meditate like Zen 

 With the will and the strength, of a million men 

 While they introspect, where nothing is met 

 It's been that way for a while so much has come and then went 

 But I'm confident, a few, are due to redeem 

 their respective kingdoms, with an abundance of cream 

 So if I were to scheme, it would be on a realer dream 

 Like formin effective teams to filter the smokescreens 

 You totin in jeans, don't even know the true envy 

 The man I'm pickin apart, and plus they both were friends to me 

 Past trivial pursuits like East and West coast feuds 

 Come against me on the mic, many and most will lose 

 Like most dudes, I love this hip-hop, and this rap stuff 

 But I don't like the shows, where the ignorant act up 

 While some'll be rippin it, they be in the crowd wildin 

 Flippin on kids, for the chains and medallions 

 Or the kid they don't like, from a beef from way back 

 And decide that's the night, perfect time for payback 

 It's wack for the group, plus the others who came 

 to see a fat ass show, instead 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 do, stay true 

 Follow through lay down the law, cause it's probable and overdue 

 All systems overdue, my guns know me 

 I only hold a few my nigga for only a few hold me 

 Never forget the ones before me, my momma told me 

 sacrifice for the ones behind me leadin the seeds 

 Blind leads, black on black, crime to me 

 Inclined to refine my creed I eat thinkin lead 

 Conceive to make the beast bleed, enhance thoughts 

 like tossed trees 'cross the Earth three-fourths 

 Let my offspring feed all three, corpus delectis cost me 

 Lost and found on enemy ground, quoted 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 cry, of course I'm N.Y. 

 Hug my peeps that died, the loved ones alive 

 Reinforce and fly high as I lie so shall I 

 from New I to Cali next plateau U.N.I.versal 

 Unleash the black rain 

 Show em who in control, electro-magnetic 

 pull on the hole, ill as toters bang out 

 Til we sittin on swole the strongest way to grow 

 The only way I know, Underground Railroad on track 

 No physical or mental chain can shackle that
