Up North Trip

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

Next come the bookings, the way things is looking

It's Friday, you in for a long stay

Getting shackled on the bus first thing come Monday

Hoping in your mind you'll be released one day

But knowing, home is a place you're not going for a long while

Now you're up on the Isle

And the position that you in got you refusing 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 requesting PC

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 war in population's on infinitely

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

Hit you up, leave your whole face screaming

What you in for kid, busting nuts?

Cats heard of me in street stories caught inside this trap

Who are you to look at me with your eyes like that?

Wisen up, young blood, before you make things escalate

And I would hate to set your crooked ass straight

Make your moves at night

Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife

Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip

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

Living the high life, make your moves at night

Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife

Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip

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

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 turning back, it's on tonight

And if I get caught, then my ass is up north

Straight on a course for upstate New York

Stressed, smoking 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

Ditch 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 tap

Living the high life, make your moves at night

Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife

Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip

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

Living the high life, make your moves at night

Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife

Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip

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

I got the power, 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 this Earth just so I could die?

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

Why I'm still breathing, 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 crying, I'm a grown man struggling

To reach the next level of life without fumbling down or folding

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 be your man

Giving police the run down on your plans

But never going down like that

So I, shut my mouth and hold my words back

Illegal business, forever mines, fuck paying 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

Living the high life, make your moves at night

Pack your heat in this war zone, niggas is trife

Running from one-time, ain't no time to slip

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

Living the high life
