"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
