| Lyrics: | [Featuring Hannibal]
"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 gr |
