Up North by Endangered Poets Lyrics
[Verse 1: Lilgreen]
It's about time that I put us on the map
If you don't know, Midwest where it's at
Comin' from the town that we call Grand Rap (yeah)
A place where we keep family on the back, aw yeah
First place I learned how to mack
First place I ever had a girl on my lap (yeah)
No time for that, all I wanted was to skate
Old friends relate, so when I come your way, say
[Chorus]
When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
Like a G.I. Joe (like a G.I. Joe)
When you're way up north (up north)
Whеre the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (bе tough)
You gotta be bold, so bold, so bold
[Verse 2: Lilgreen]
Wasn't finished yet, (nah) let me tell you about my city (yeah)
Grab your pole, meet me atop the Mississippi (where?)
Always had the green, used to say that we were hippies
But it never mattered to any of the people that were with me (uh-huh)
That's why the range, I can't abandon
Grab a keg, let's go campin' (woo)
Never running out of paper like it's Blandin
So pour another cup and let's get it happenin', you know
[Chorus]
When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
Like a G.I. Joe (like a G.I. Joe)
When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
You gotta be bold, so bold, so bold
[Verse 3: $hanethe$haman]
Let's go, everyone, let's stand together
You can endure more than bad weather
So grab a sweater, sit by the bonfire
Let your city be the one who inspires
I'll always be a Midwest representative
Think you lost your mind takin' all those sedatives
Same old story, start to get repetitive
If you don't got enough, you need to go and get it then
[Chorus]
When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
Like a G.I. Joe (like a G.I. Joe)
When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
You gotta be bold, so bold, so bold
[Verse 4: $hanethe$haman]
Holdin' on, I'm never lettin' go
Comin' from the city named Duluth, Minnesnow
If you can't hear us, turn up the bass
Evict the hate, lock it in last place
[?] to the lake, throw away the keys
Invest in your dream, don't let momentum freeze
Don't hit abort if the vision distorts
Stand up for the ones in the Twin Ports
[Chorus]
When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
Like a G.I. Joe (like a G.I. Joe)
When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
You gotta be bold, so bold, so bold
[Verse 5: AyJay Merritt]
"Where you from?" That's what everybody gonna say
Pointin' at my back I tell 'em "G-Rap" all the way
Got a notebook full of rhymes, save it for a rainy day
When that cold wind blows, well, you better be a soldier
When your best friend cries, well, you better be a shoulder
Capture the moment and call that a panoramic view
You're chasin' dreams while I spit, 'cause there ain't nothin' left to do
Beer pong at the beach and in the winter too
[Chorus]
When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
Like a G.I. Joe (like a G.I. Joe)
When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
You gotta be bold, so bold, so bold
[Outro]
When you said that last time, I was kinda tripping, like...[?]
But now, you're right! I AM crazy
But you know what else?
I don't give a fuck
It's about time that I put us on the map
If you don't know, Midwest where it's at
Comin' from the town that we call Grand Rap (yeah)
A place where we keep family on the back, aw yeah
First place I learned how to mack
First place I ever had a girl on my lap (yeah)
No time for that, all I wanted was to skate

When you're way up north (up north)
Where the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (be tough)
Like a G.I. Joe (like a G.I. Joe)
When you're way up north (up north)
Whеre the wind blows cold (blows cold)
You gotta be tough (bе tough)
You gotta be bold, so bold, so bold
