It's wack for the group, plus the others who came
From New I to Cali, next plateau U.N.I.versal
So if I were to scheme, it would be on a realer dream
Sacrifice for the ones behind me leadin' the seeds
With the burning desire, we make it out of the crossfire
Gifted and Rhyme, you now how we do, stay true
From here on in peace and blessings long cherish your breath
Their respective kingdoms, with an abundance of cream
Like formin' effective teams to filter the smokescreens
You totin' in jeans, don't even know the true envy
Let my offspring feed all three, corpus delectis cost me
I only hold a few my nigga for only a few hold me
Society puts the squeeze on MC's like iron grips of death
Come against me on the mic, many and most will lose
Still waters run deep, this is leagues in depth
To see a fat ass show, instead there's bullets aflame
'Til we sittin' on swole, the strongest way to grow
The only way I know, Underground Railroad on track
Or the kid, they don't like, from a beef from way back
Flippin' on kids, for the chains and medallions
While they introspect, where nothing is met
While some'll be rippin' it, they be in the crowd wildin'
Follow through lay down the law, 'cause it's probable and overdue
The man I'm pickin' apart, and plus they both were friends to me
Upset the set up, the element of surprise
While they devise our demise, we grow wise
While they devise our demise, we grow wise
But I don't like the shows, where the ignorant act up
But I'm confident, a few, are due to redeem
Though they conspire, fake us to make us retire
Itz a set up
Primo beats provoke us to meditate like Zen
They don't know how we get down at sound speed we breed
All systems overdue, my guns know me
Upset the set up, the element of surprise
It's been that way for a while, so much has come and then went
Heed my freedom war cry, of course I'm N.Y.
Quiet as kept they slept we crept
Reinforce and fly high as I lie so shall I
It's time to upset the set up
With the will and the strength, of a million men
Like most dudes, I love this hip-hop, and this rap stuff
Hug my peeps that died, the loved ones alive
Past trivial pursuits like East and West coast feuds
Inclined to refine my creed, I eat thinkin' lead
Like tossed trees 'cross the Earth three-fourths
Pull on the hole, ill as toters bang out
It's time to upset the set up
Show 'em who in control, electro-magnetic
Blind leads, black on black, crime to me
Unleash the black rain
Conceive to make the beast bleed, enhance thoughts
Never forget the ones before me, my momma told me
Thoughts are higher, elevating and focused
Itz a set up
We got news for ya
While the path is narrow, for those like us
Lost and found on enemy ground, quoted although
And decide that's the night, perfect time for payback
No more confined to blind greed and self destructive deeds
