Set Up
Kurupt Ft. Daz & Xzibit Lyrics

Let's do it doggs ring ding dong
Let's get started, make things happen

Bitch (aha aha) bitch (yeah what what what what what?)
Addressing someone in a derogatory way, mocking and insulting them

Beeitch (set up set up set up) beeitch (it's a set up)
Realizing that someone is trying to set them up for something

What they're doing? They're trying to...
Questioning and wondering what the other party is attempting to do

They're trying to set me up they're trying to set me up
Confirming the suspicion that someone is trying to set them up for something

They want to set me up they want to set me up
Acknowledging that someone wants to set them up for something

They're trying to set me up they're trying to set me up
Confirming the suspicion that someone is trying to set them up for something

They're trying to set me up but check it out
Acknowledging that someone is trying to set them up but also has a plan in place to handle it

This is it call it how you want to call it
Acknowledging the situation and accepting that it needs to be dealt with

Brawling, call in the headhunter, start headhunting
Preparing for a fight and calling in someone experienced to help

How do you want it? I said we could spread arms
Preparing for a fight and asking how it should be handled

Bust and stare, you want to snatch a life, is that right?
Asking if the other person is willing to take a life if necessary

Want to-get-rich ass nigga, snitch ass nigga
Insulting the other person's character

Fake switch bitch ass nigga, up-in-to-get-lynched ass nigga
Insulting the other person's character

Ain't nothing to it, raw doggs doing the lynching, master assassins
Claiming to be capable of handling the situation and taking control

Henchmen, the whole world's against me (fuck 'em)
Feeling like the situation is hopeless and that everyone is against them

It's a million to one, Kurupt with one gun
Acknowledging the odds and that they only have one weapon

And a whole backyard of ammo
Having a lot of backup ammunition

Dump these lumps in nigga's backs like a camel
Threatening to shoot the other person in the back

Get torn and worn just like sandals, now his Willy came to an end
Threatening to kill the other person

You see that nigga he ride with, do him in
Encouraging violence towards someone else

This nigga's so sweet, he got my girl to set me
Claiming that someone manipulated a situation to hurt them

Got her with the tech to tack me and disconnect me
Claiming that someone used technology to harm them

There's no (?) when you're playing Russian roulette
Pointing out the dangers of taking risks and not knowing what will happen

They're trying to catch me, lay me down and sketch me
Acknowledging that someone is trying to catch or trap them

Young Gotti, (???)
Using a pen name or nickname

Bringing the whole fucking entourage of murderous minds
Bringing backup to handle the difficult situation

I don't know who rides with a mental dome, who will and who won't
Not knowing who can be trusted

Trust me, they all want to bust me, it's a set up
Knowing that everyone is out to get them

Chorus: I don't give a fuck who you bring to the table And I don't give a fuck who you got with you
Asserting that they are not intimidated by anyone the other party brings around

You played me, you're Kane and I'm Abel
Drawing a biblical comparison to show that the other person has wronged them

Now the ammo drops, watch 'fore the glock hits you (it's a set up)
Threatening to use weapons against the other person

Don't you know? You fuck around with death sentinel
Warning the other person that they are risking their life

If you didn't learn you'd better start learning (it's a set up nigga)
Insisting that the other person is in danger

Aiming, bust and hit your left and you're cold
Threatening to shoot and kill the other person

That's how motherfuckers get murdered
Explaining that killing is a common outcome in these types of situations

Hit the (???), fuck a sun roof, this car is dirty
Preparing to take action, disregarding the condition of the car

Dirty dirty buster, dirty motherfuckers
Insulting the other person's character again

Holler at the big homie Slop (what up Slop? what's up y'all?)
Contacting someone for backup or support

Hit me on the hip, hit it quick on the dick
Asking to be contacted quickly

Get this rap slapped in the clip
Preparing for the situation by loading ammunition

You see this black nigga, you'd better duck him
Warning the other person that they are dangerous

Thorough, in every neighborhood and borough, like motherfuck 'em
Claiming to be in control everywhere they go

Yeah you know me, oh you want to show me a thang or two
Asserting dominance and challenging the other person

how y'all do, nigga show me, creep through slowly
Asking the other person to show what they are capable of

Friction, I can feel it all around me, my intuition
Feeling tension or conflict in the situation

LA gangbang mentality got me on a violent spree, violently
Explaining that the gang mentality in LA has led to violent behavior

Busting, dusting niggaz off silently
Threatening to kill the other person without warning

I ain't even trying to be what I can be or could handle
Acknowledging that they don't want to be in this situation but can handle it

But niggaz trying to make me an example
Feeling like the other person is targeting them to set an example

Go over to the West (to the West), niggaz want to feud
Acknowledging that there is conflict in other areas, too

Go back to the East (to the East), niggaz want to feud
Acknowledging that there is conflict in other areas, too

I'm 'bout to go to the North and South to see, what,
Planning to investigate other areas to see if there is conflict there

are y'all niggaz on that same fucking bullshit, 'cause? (I don't know)
Wondering if conflict exists everywhere and if people are targeting them

Chorus
Repeating the chorus to emphasize that nothing will stop them

It's a set up motherfucker, what, it's a set up
Confirming that someone is trying to set them up

I'm tired of these bitch ass niggaz, it's a set up nigga
Expressing frustration with the situation and the other people involved

Can't help it, hoes come through
Acknowledging that people will try to use any method to target them

Me set, I know 'em, they're out to set me
Knowing that people are targeting them personally, rather than just random attacks

They want to get me, get the homies
Noticing that the others around them are also being targeted

The rainstorm's coming and every motherfucker's trying to wet me
Feeling like people are out to get them at every turn

Yo it's unforgettable, no you can't touch me
Feeling untouchable or invincible

Clutch me like a mic, and do just what you like?
Proving that they are confident and can handle anything

Hell no nigga, even though you dislike me
Challenging the other person and asserting that they are capable

You want to be just like me, niggaz they despite me
Acknowledging that others may try to copy them or cause harm

See all the homies, I make loot like Spike Lee
Confirming that they are valuable and successful

Dozens, rolling through with me, my homies and my cousins
Bringing a group of trusted people with them

I give a fuck nigga, I could stay busting
Being prepared for anything and everything

And still rock it right, and hit the spotlight
Maintaining their confidence and success despite the situation

Shine bright, these fake ass niggaz, snake ass niggaz
Pointing out the other people's flaws and potential deceit

Earthquake ass niggaz, I shake these niggaz
Expressing that they can overcome any obstacle or difficulty

Shake ass niggaz, thinking you can come through all the time
Acknowledging that the other person is perhaps overconfident

want to fuck with Kurupt, I just sit, prepare the rhyme
Stating that they are prepared for any situation, including an attack from the other person

Now I'm all about the cash nigga
Stating their ultimate goal

Thinking you could come through
Knowing that the other person is coming after them

You got your heater cocking on busts you just flashed nigga
Expecting that the other person has a gun and is willing to use it

Chorus (2x)
Repeating the chorus for emphasis that they are not backing down
