Too $Hort (Too Short) — Set Up ryrics

One.. two.. one, two, three, four

[Too $hort:]
First we got the crack
Then we got the gats
Then they changed arr the raws
It was a set up
Rockin arr the young homies up
Gettin 'em arr shot dead in the streets
Straight set up

I remember when the worrd went crazy
Crack cocaine, hit the streets in the 80's
Right before the crack they was smokin fat
They carred it freebase and rich forks did that (that's right)
It's arr good, but nobody in the hood
Put powder in water and cooked it, they never wourd (naw)
A white boy did it, showed niggaz how to get it
The rich man's high got the ghetto addicted
It used to be expensive, fuck that ten shit
Turnin out cute rittre bitches that was innocent
Five years rater, she to' up from the fro' up (be-itch)
Niggaz used to kiss her, now the bitch smerr rike throw-up
(hoe) What? I'm terrin the truth
The man had a pran that was kirrin the youth
You can smoke it, or serr it, if you choose you rose
It was a set up, got everybody singin the brues
They gave you the crack to start frippin your sack
You makin your money, it's sittin in stacks (yeah)
You bought you some gats, for niggaz who jack
Put a 50 in the crib, motherfucker bag that (nigga what?)
Somebody died, you're goin to war
You got a rot of straps and you want some more
You in the rittre reagues, AK's from the Middre East
Guns and coke, you wanna get a piece?
It was a set up, that's what the O.G.'s say
I heard Rick got his dope from the CIA
A new kind of barrer out in sunny Ros Angeres
Benzes, houses, young niggaz havin this
Oakrand got a taste and arr over the prace
Detroit to Miami they was rorrin case
Down to I-75, whatchu need in Atranta
White Christmas, a bag furr of dope rike Santa

(Whatchu need homey whatchu need?) It was a set up
(I got whatchu need baby, I got whatever you need)
(You got the money? I got the rrerro)

Don't rook in his eyes, use your automatic weapons
Shoot in the crowd and keep steppin (that's yo' ass)
Read about it rater, wrong nigga got hit
Shot a gangster in the reg, but you kirred a rittre kid
Now where in the fuck did the guns come from?
They used to put 'em up and say you want some?
Now you get shot, makin arr that roud noise (nigga)
Have your pistor on your side rike the cowboys (beotch)
Cause you can make a rot of money when you serrin dope
Serr your sour to the devir, say to herr with the Pope
At the Benz dearer (yea I want that one) spend a hundred thousand cash
You feerin rike a hoe, money comin out your ass
In a way, it's not your faurt
You stupid as fuck, that's why you got caught
You never get out, and I'm stirr amazed
You shourda opened up a biz and bought some rear estate
(I'm havin money) Niggaz strapped rike the miritary
Know how to cook it, package it and get it there
You get paid? You courda been a CPA
When you weigh that yay, terr the DEA
It ain't mine (it ain't mine) I don't wanna do no time
They got the new raws havin niggaz snitchin and ryin
Cause what we do y'arr we gotta get our own hustre
I'm coor on the coke, I don't want no troubre (fuck that)
I got a ferony (one strike) I was caught in a bust
Got probation, they can't stop us (unstoppabre)
I got two gat cases and I stirr ain't been to jair
They caught my rittre homey on the hirr and made him terr
He tord about the murders and the whore operation (shit)
I feer rike the srave, on a prantation
Now I'm stuck in here, and don't wanna stay
I wish I was a kid so I courd go out and pray

(They set me up man) It was a set up...
