The Set Up

Peace
Hello?
What up, kid?
What's up, Pen, what's the deal?
Chillin', I can't call it
Word, I know you heard what happened
Psh, 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, a'ight?
A'ight, well do that, hit me up when you through, a'ight?
A'ight, peace
Out
I'm out
Haha

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 have they own 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 have they own shot up

Do I remember payin' dues
Transportin' baguettes and kis, me and my highway crews
And nobody knew that shit would turn thick like shit is
Niggas catchin' twenty-five years bids
That's the kinda 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
All caught up in set ups and now your pockets all dent
Was it really meant for you to sport gator shoes
And be the leader of your crews' biggest moves?
You shoulda stayed the cool you, old timer moves be the best move
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, they're bein' told
Niggas thought they would be hustlers until they grew old
But instead, niggas is gettin' filled up with lead
And then kind of conspiracy: Somebody workin' with the feds
(What's goin' on? Ha) 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

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 have they own shot up
My neighborhood causes mentality breakdowns

Overlappin' time with no exaggeration
I be anticipatin' will I ever make it
You gots to watch your back and issues just like that
A nigga wants to take you out just 'cause you livin' fat
As 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' their brains blewn
Out the box, a perpetrator to fraud nigga
Always got shit to pop about the next niggas' spots
You must've never learned that '96
That your right hand'll be that motherfucker that snitch, ah
