An Unexpected Call (The Set Up) Lyrics

[Verse 1: Ghostface Killah]
Was an evil day the sun glistened over the city
Shined bright though the window and the eyes of my kitty

I was reluctant, a ball in the pit of my gut
Like the phone call I got was just to set me up
She wouldn't do that, my love had love for the kid
So I slid on my wallows and bounced out the crib
Hit the block about six somethin', shit got switched up
She pulled long inside and said, "Jump in the truck"
So I did, we supposed to be gone for Ziti
She made the wrong turn, I'm like, "Where you goin' to, sweetie?"
Felt the heat on the back of my neck, did a mirror check
I didn't know what to expect
I got knocked out and woke up in the meltin' pot
I heard the DeLucas laughin' and then shit got hot
They say, "Die, Tony Starks, you gon' melt like a record
Never to be remembered, never to be respected"

[Verse 2: Inspectah Deck]
Yo, I got word that my man got off
Rollin' with Logan, I told him, "Damn that broad
It's no surprise why she would do this
Word on the streets she had a side deal workin' for the DeLucas"

Word is out, APB, this bird is foul
Put a price on it, the hood searchin' her house
The DeLucas won't stop without murkin' us out
We should catch 'em while they celebratin', burst in the crowd
Tony death, shit is workin' me, vexed
They saying, "Deck, chill, it's real and you're certainly next"
Thrown into boiling vinyl, can't let it slide, fool
I guess it's just my time to die too
First, find Logan, gotta make her talk
Who's your boss? Where's your boss? And who made the call?
Tell me or not, you're sleepin' with the fish
But first tell your boss that he will get his

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
