Blueprint - Set It Off lyrics
[Blueprint - Set It Off lyrics]
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Get your weight up
Double up and place your bets
I'm not a gangsta but my beats bang your head
Drop the anchor, post up and break some bread
Built my base up
Rockin' 'til I'm grateful dead
My snare shake ya, words penetrate the skin
Melt your face up and cake
Up your skeleton bend
Into gelatin enveloped by my perilous pen
Where terror begins
You're stuck until I tell you it ends
Fold your promotional poster into an
Airplane and toss it
Practice aim where trash is laid, you lost it
Can't explain my massive gain so forfeit
Now I got the juice like Jack LeLanne
I'm awesome
Spine-tingling to rhymes swinging into action
Meanwhile my theme song blastin'
On television braggin' how they
Eat off rappin' 'Til my remote zap 'em
And they leave closed-captioned
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Call your dogs off
All y'all kibbles and bit's
Just Chihuahuas riled up flipping your lips
We Rottweilers, Dobermen pinchers, and Pitts
Put you in pet cemetery quick as a lick
So many ballers
Now they gotta sit on a bench
My shot fallen all cause
The industry switched
For ignoring the score and
Exploiting the poor
They gon' be shown out the door
At the end of their shift
Asked out and unemployed
Passed out and null and void
Sat down for passing 'round wack
Styles I can't enjoy so-called bad boys that
Breach noise ordinance
I deploy b-boys to your home's coordinates
It's drop squad by the time you react
Open up my van doors
Throw you right in the back
Take you for a ride
Show you what's right and exact
Knowledge in self in history
Supply you with facts
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Study your history! Gotta study
This Hip-Hop history
Study this craft and learn it, man
So you can contribute and build this
Shit and not destroy it cause
A lot of y'all not studying the
Dudes that came before y'all, "I don't
Wanna hear about them old school niggas
Them niggas is raw and stuff
This and that" Those are the same
Niggas your mother was ready
To suck they dick your mother
Was ready to bone these
Niggas your grandmother was ready to fuck
Run DMC and all that
You bum-ass niggas tryna shoot these
Old school niggas down
But them parties was popping
Your moms though y'all
Gotta study this fucking shit same with y'all
Popping niggas mothers now or
Whatever y'all doing nah'm
Sayin? I ain't tryna sound bitter or nothing
But you know, come on man
Pay homage to those before you
And learn what the fuck is going on, man!
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Set it off, set it off, set it off brother
Set it off
Get your weight up
Double up and place your bets
I'm not a gangsta but my beats bang your head
Drop the anchor, post up and break some bread
Built my base up
Rockin' 'til I'm grateful dead
My snare shake ya, words penetrate the skin
