The Set Up

Peace

Hello

What up, kid?
What's up, Pat? What's the deal?
Chillin', I can't call it
Word, I know you heard what happened

Shit, did I ever
So, what's up? Did you talk to him?
What's up? How you feel about that?
Nah, B, you know, it's always your right hand
Same shit, different day. But I wanna keep this
Line clear just in case that nigga call, aight?
Aight, well, do that. Hit me up when you get through, aight?
Aight, peace
Out
I'm out

Ha-ha

My neighborhood causes mentality breakdowns
And every state has a ghetto town with dirty shakedowns
And if you ask me, it was all a fuckin' set up
My peoples all locked up, and how they all shot up
My neighborhood causes mentality breakdowns
And every state has a ghetto town with dirty shakedowns
And if you ask me, it was all a fuckin' set up
My peoples all locked up, and how they all shot up

I remember payin' dues
Transportin' big eights and ki's, me and my highway crews
And nobody knew that shit would turn thick like shit is
Niggas catchin' 25-year bids

That's the kind of drama that brings boys to men
Real life shit to make you see who your friends really is
So fuck what you was gonna do, what about what you did?
The feds got you under pressure, now who's the biggest snitch?
Everybody wants to live this lifestyle of the rich
But caught up in set ups, and now your pockets are dents
Was it really meant for you to sport gator shoes
And be the leader of your crew's biggest moves?
You shoulda stayed the cool you

Old-timer moves be the best moves
And nobody walks in your shoes except you

Now I've been stalkin' these streets for plenty of years
And in these last past years, I accumulated less cares
And fears lurks deep in the hearts of the unknown
We all starred in this drug show for the dough
But now the saga unfolds with tales of death to bein' told
Niggas thought they would be hustlers until they grew old
But instead, niggas is gettin' filled up with lead
And there's some kind of conspiracy, somebody workin' with the feds

What's goin' on? What could it be?
It seems like my whole world is crumblin' down around me
My optics slays me, never ceases to amaze me
But can I be that bigger nigga and just turn the other cheek?
In these streets where your mentality has to be deep

To compete with the next man's wants and needs

Overlappin' time with no exaggerations
I be anticipatin', will I ever make it?
You gots to watch your back and it's just like that
A nigga wants to take you out just 'cause you livin' fat

I gots what I got from payin' my dues
So I don't give a fuck about what you done in your past or your crew
Negative attitudes combined by breakin' the rules
Always equals out to the wrong person gettin' they brains blew
Out the box, a perpetrator, a fraud nigga
Always got shit to pop about the next nigga spots

You must've never learned in '96
That your right hand'll be that motherfucker that snitch, ha
