Nas "The Set Up" Prod. Havoc

Hold it right there, pull over
That nikka right there inside the Rover
I knew he'd be right here, I told you
Let's get him now, look at him smile, ice Bulova
Polo pullover, big links and rockin' boulders
He's stuntin', after he left my man like that
Without a fair chance to fight back, but I'll be right back

You know the clique well, Ramel with the gold in his grill
Tried to get a name holding the steel
I paid attention to the females
Maintained bytches when it get real
Sos' pulled me close and told me the deal
He said both hoes'll peel
Spray shots and reload and still handle the wheel
Point em out smoke a Phil' then chill
I layed back Escobar status, knowing The Firm got it cornered
We on it, shyt we was born with
this nikka nas MURDERED that part

This is the least talked about track on this classic album it kind of gets loss in the sauce probally due to sequencing
Also in this era we dont see that much out of house production from Havoc. I don't think Havoc and a uncredited female have verses but they do contribute to the hook and adlibs. It gives a heir of mystery or ambiguity to the track for me because I almost walk away from the track mentally unsure if I just heard a Mobb Track, a Nas track or possible Foxy track.
I like the beat because it sounds like the rhythm and vibration of NY streets to me

Was coming in here to say this. Nas blacked out on this.

Yup, these are the bars in this song that always make me go
I must confess I interpreted the bolded something crazy different though
I thought he said:
Let’s get him now, look at him smile
Ice, “pull ov- pull over”
Like his man’s name was Ice and he was getting worked up just looking at this cat smiling and stuntin and he was urging his man to pull over immediately so they can get busy

I actually visualized this track and thought it could be a really cool hbo/netflix mini series about Venus & Vicous as trained assassins since birth that work throughout the US gettin major money on local drug lords up to big ceos and whatnot. I wish Irv Gotti's Tales series could've done this track
Mike the Executioner
What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
This definitely sounds like it could have been on Hell on Earth. And people said that It Was Written was too commercial. 
Nas said there was a word on this song that he messed up, does anyone know what it was?
