The Set Up

Lyrics

[Intro: Mellow Man Ace] Yeah!!!! [echo] Gunslingers!!!! [echo] B-Real!!!! [echo] And now !!!! [echo] For you backstabbers!!!! [echo] [Verse 1: B-Real] They say homies last forever and that's true in some cases But you gotta keep your eyes open for two faces I knew one homie roll wit me through thick and thin We ran the streets taught the world like [ ] The brother I never had, a couple crook niggas Just say the word and we ran out and hooked niggas We had money on the mind we gun-derstood figures If a robber tried to get off hey: look, triggas! It was a family thing and no one could touch us Til a homie turned green and that mean he don't love us In back of his mind he screaming out fuckers Under his breath, "I'm gonna get you suckers" Sent niggas to your crib with macks and nuggets And you givin' up all your shit or you feel the slug hit They took 3 heaters with the [ ] ice Comin' to find my homies set it up nothin' nice Funny how they knew where all my shit was stashed It wasn't a random action to get some cash I hand it to 'em but their little scam was ruined Damn I'm doing everything I can, pursuin' But when your guard's down and you can't avoid these troubles Put your strap out, go ahead burst that bubble Leave 'em in a puddle of their own blood you fumble And they'll be on you like the feds [ ] tax in a bundle Come on [Hook: B-Real (sung)] Night time niggas on the grind And your homies are actin' shady (get that dough) Take mine and you bitches'll find That your head is my 380 (you don't know) Get in line if you're livin' for crime If you think you're fuckin' crazy (you don't know) No spine there ain't nowhere to hide Man your ass is Swayze (you don't know) [Verse 2: Mellow Man Ace aka Willie Malo] I see through the shady like empty coke bottles Or like Star Search models Except this one time I was heavily sedated This nigga want a wife and knew that I was faded Anyways we was out cuttin' hoes And mo moes like true motherfuckin' bros He says something like "Why you cheatin'? Wifey look good and you baby breathing." I paid no attention started fuckin' old girl But little did I know the nigga wanted my girl And it seemed like everything was kosher Til that time I had that show in Nova Scotia Dude show up like he want some pussy Horny ass a motherfucker gettin' pushy Told wifey this, he told wifey that We had mad hoes that was Asian and black "Your man a dirtbag why you wit him? You know I got niggas that are gonna wet him" Bitch motherfuckers that's how they do Say shit to your girl they won't say to you When I got back in town, wifey sat me down She said "Motherfucker what's really going down?" Tried to lie a bit but she looked in my eyes She knew right there that the nigga was a liar The set-up [Hook] Night time niggas on the grind And your homies are actin' shady (get that dough) Take mine and you bitches'll find That your head is my 380 (you don't know) Get in line if you're livin' for crime If you think you're fuckin' crazy (you don't know) No spine there ain't nowhere to hide Man your ass is Swayze (you don't know) [Verse 3: O Brown] Called everybody on his phone list Story didn't make sense, bitch I'm pissed (yo) To a park to jack and smack miss They stabbed his head slashed his wrist Jam back to your crib, to ease the pain Slammed H in his arm and that's what you claim? Falls to the floor his arm starts to shake (Damn) Fucking whore called the medics too late From the living room floor you carry dead weight To the bathtub - what for, can't relate He six five over two hundred pounds You a buck O-5 and lift homie off the ground? Hell no! There's two sides to every story (Damn bitch u gonna see...) Gonna dead up my homie My tray 8 wants you to get to know me Set up that date 'cause bitch I been lonely He's on the couch when they crept up behind her Knifed her, fail, shot dope in 'er I betcha her brains on this page That's her name, wrote this rage She set my homie up and watched him die Super max tears coming out my eyes (Damn) How now nigga that's full of surprise Won't be satisfied til your body lies [B-Real Hook] [Outro - Sample] "What you want Ringo" "I want your blood I want your souls And I want 'em both right now." "I don't want anymore trouble" "Well you got trouble! And It starts with you."
