1
[scratched by DJ Premier] "We got news for ya"
2
[Chorus: Guru and Hannibal]
3
[Guru] While they devise our demise, we grow wise
4
[Hann] Upset the set up, the element of surprise
5
[both] IT'Z A SET UP
6
[Guru] It's time to upset the set up
7
[Verse 1: Guru]
8
Though they conspire, fake us to make us retire
9
With the burning desire we make it out of the crossfire
10
Thoughts are higher, elevating and focused
11
while the path is narrow, for those like us
12
Primo beats provoke us to meditate like Zen
13
With the will and the strength, of a million men
14
While they introspect, where nothing is met
15
It's been that way for a while so much has come and then went
16
But I'm confident, a few, are due to redeem
17
their respective kingdoms, with an abundance of cream
18
So if I were to scheme, it would be on a realer dream
19
Like formin effective teams to filter the smokescreens
20
You totin in jeans, don't even know the true envy
21
The man I'm pickin apart, and plus they both were friends to me
22
Past trivial pursuits like East and West coast feuds
23
Come against me on the mic, many and most will lose
24
Like most dudes, I love this hip-hop, and this rap stuff
25
But I don't like the shows, where the ignorant act up
26
While some'll be rippin it, they be in the crowd wildin
27
Flippin on kids, for the chains and medallions
28
Or the kid they don't like, from a beef from way back
29
And decide that's the night, perfect time for payback
30
It's wack for the group, plus the others who came
31
to see a fat ass show, instead there's bullets aflame
32
[Chorus]
33
[Verse 2: Hannibal]
34
Still waters run deep this is leagues in depth
35
Quiet as kept they slept we crept
36
Society puts the squeeze on MC's like iron grips of death
37
From here on in peace and blessings long cherish your breath
38
Gifted and Rhyme U now how we do, stay true
39
Follow through lay down the law, cause it's probable and overdue
40
All systems overdue, my guns know me
41
I only hold a few my nigga for only a few hold me
42
Never forget the ones before me, my momma told me
43
sacrifice for the ones behind me leadin the seeds
44
Blind leads, black on black, crime to me
45
Inclined to refine my creed I eat thinkin lead
46
Conceive to make the beast bleed, enhance thoughts
47
like tossed trees 'cross the Earth three-fourths
48
Let my offspring feed all three, corpus delectis cost me
49
Lost and found on enemy ground, quoted although
50
they don't know how we get down at sound speed we breed
51
Mo more confined to blind greed and self destructive deeds
52
Heed my freedom war cry, of course I'm N.Y.
53
Hug my peeps that died, the loved ones alive
54
Reinforce and fly high as I lie so shall I
55
from New I to Cali next plateau U.N.I.versal
56
Unleash the black rain
57
Show em who in control, electro-magnetic
58
pull on the hole, ill as toters bang out
59
Til we sittin on swole the strongest way to grow
60
The only way I know, Underground Railroad on track
61
No physical or mental chain can shackle that
62
