Layin' in the cut 

Patiently waiting to get the advantage on someone. Quietly timing a money making move using the element of surprise.

In the late 80s and early 90s NYC, muggings/ robberies/chain snatching happened all the time. "Layin' in the cut" referred to waiting in a covered location, ie btw 2 buildings or in an alley, for the right opportunity to jump someone or rob.

laying back in the cut 

In a relaxed state, especially with friends while not engaging in any specific activity.

When Allison called, I was laying back in the cut with Will and Jay and didn't feel like engaging in awkward conversation with her.

in the cut 

A place, predominately in the projects, that is hard to find or get to without being noticed. Usually the spot in-between lower-income housing facilities in which drugs are sold or made, dice games are played, and/or stories are shared amongst the residents.

TyQuan: Where you at, I'm riding low in the city?
JJ: I'm in the cut rolling dice with the set.
