We got news for ya --> scratched by dj premierChorus: guru and hannibal[guru] while they devise our demise, we grow wise[hann] upset the set up, the element of surprise[both] itz a set up[guru] its time to upset the set upVerse one: guruThough they conspire, fake us to make us retireWith the burning desire we make it out of the crossfireThoughts are higher, elevating and focusedWhile the path is narrow, for those like usPrimo beats provoke us to meditate like zenWith the will and the strength, of a million menWhile they introspect, where nothing is metIts been that way for a while so much has come and then wentBut Im confident, a few, are due to redeemTheir respective kingdoms, with an abundance of creamSo if I were to scheme, it would be on a realer dreamLike formin effective teams to filter the smokescreensYou totin in jeans, dont even know the true envyThe man Im pickin apart, and plus they both were friends to mePast trivial pursuits like east and west coast feudsCome against me on the mic, many and most will loseLike most dudes, I love this hip-hop, and this rap stuffBut I dont like the shows, where the ignorant act upWhile somell be rippin it, they be in the crowd wildinFlippin on kids, for the chains and medallionsOr the kid they dont like, from a beef from way backAnd decide thats the night, perfect time for paybackIts wack for the group, plus the others who cameTo see a fat ass show, instead theres bullets aflameChorusVerse two: hannibalStill waters run deep this is leagues in depthQuiet as kept they slept we creptSociety puts the squeeze on mcs like iron grips of deathFrom here on in peace and blessings long cherish your breathGifted and rhyme u now how we do, stay trueFollow through lay down the law, cause its probable and overdueAll systems overdue, my guns know meI only hold a few my nigga for only a few hold meNever forget the ones before me, my momma told meSacrifice for the ones behind me leadin the seedsBlind leads, black on black, crime to meInclined to refine my creed I eat thinkin leadConceive to make the beast bleed, enhance thoughtsLike tossed trees cross the earth three-fourthsLet my offspring feed all three, corpus delectis cost meLost and found on enemy ground, quoted althoughThey dont know how we get down at sound speed we breedMo more confined to blind greed and self destructive deedsHeed my freedom war cry, of course Im n.y.Hug my peeps that died, the loved ones aliveReinforce and fly high as I lie so shall iFrom new I to cali next plateau u.n.i.versalUnleash the black rainShow em who in control, electro-magneticPull on the hole, ill as toters bang outTil we sittin on swole the strongest way to growThe only way I know, underground railroad on trackNo physical or mental chain can shackle that[answering machine messages]
