MOBB DEEP LYRICS - Up North Trip

"Up North Trip"



[Verse One: Prodigy]

It all began on the street, to the back of a blue police vehicle

Next come the bookings, the way things is lookin

It's Friday, you in for a long stay

Gettin shackled on the bus first thing come Monday

Hopin in your mind you'll be released one day

But knowin, home is a place you're not goin for a long while

Now you're up on the isle

In a position that you ain't got to refusin to smile

But keep in mind there's a brighter day, after your time spent

Used to be wild, but locked up, you can't get bent

Thought you could hack it, now you're requestin P

See you're fragile, it ain't hard to see

Niggas like that don't associate with me

I'd rather, get busy to the third degree

cause the wrong population's on infinitely

If this was the street, my razor would be a mack demon

Hit you up, leave your whole face screamin

What you in for kid - bustin nuts?

Cats heard of me in street stories told inside this trap

Who are you to look at me wit'char eyes like that

Wising up young blood, before you make things escalate

And I would hate yo set your crooked ass straight...



[Chorus]

Make your moves at night

Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife

Runnin from one time, ain't no time to slip

Make one false move and it's a up north trip

Livin the high life, make your moves at night

Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife

Runnin from one time, ain't no time to slip

Make one false move and it's a up north trip



[Verse Two: Havoc]

You tried to dip, duck, but still got bucked

You talk too much shit, you shoulda kept your mouth shut

All that gossip, motherfucker don't you know my glock kicks

Hollow tips, to your body, mad toxic

I fade you, blow you with a rusty-ass razor

Did you a favor, tried to wet you but I graze you

Pop goes the glock when there's beef on the block

Chill for a while make them think the beef stop

Then I creep like a thief in the night, it's only right

Ain't no turnin back, it's on tonight

And if I get caught then my ass is up north

Straight on the course for upstate New York

Stress, smokin back to back cigarettes

It popped off, one point in the mess hall

But to avoid that, from head to toe, dipped in all black

Hit them niggas where they pump they cracks at

Havoc, with the murder master plan

Keep my nine up to par, so my shit won't jam

God forbid if my shit do, run behind a tree

Fix my shit then hit you, slugs in your body

Mainly in your brain tissue

Witness from the scene, get ghost, stash the pistol

So simple then, watch my back, lay up and relax

Roll a sack, K-A black, find a shorty to tag



[Chorus]



[Verse Three: Prodigy]

I got the powder, combine wit the powder, and water

It oughta, drop in a half and hour

In the, form of oil, watch the cocaine boil

Keep my eye on it so the shit won't spoil

Then I pause... and ask God why

Did he put me on the serve, just so I could die

I sit back and build on, all the things I did wrong

Why I'm still breathin, and all my friends gone

I try not to dwell on the subject for a while

Cause I might get stuck in this corrupt lifestyle

But my, heart pumps foul blood through my arteries

And I can't turn it back it's a part of me

Too late for cryin, I'm a grown man strugglin

To reach the next level of life, without fumblin

Down to foldin I got no shoulder to lean on but my own

All alone in this danger zone

Time waits for no man, the streets grow worse

Fuck the whole world kid my money comes first

Cause I'm out for the gusto, and trust nobody

If you're not family, then you die by me

Cause niggas will have you locked up the snitch'll be your man

Givin police the run down on your plans

We're never goin down like that

So I, shut my mouth and hold my words back

Illegal business, forever mine, fuck payin taxes

The last kid that shitted and gave police access

to my blueprints, used names as evidence

Skipped town and I haven't seen the snitch nigga ever since

The moral of the story is easy to figure out

A lesson that you can't live without



[Chorus 2X]

Livin the high life
