Move Up Songtext
von Cutty Ranks

Now notice
A whole heap of bwoy a gwan like dem a run down title
But let me tell you this
What you work for is what you get
Lord of mercy
If you try to test me
You buck up and dead
Lord of mercy

You better move up and nuh try fi test me
Bwoy, move up before you reach to the cemetery
Move up, you nuh get no shot yet
Bwoy, move up before you face your death

A nuff of dem a travel fire Winchester
Me have the Glock, and the′matic, and German Luger
If a bwoy try a thing, me just turn it over
Come, Little Cutty Ranks a dash it inna culture


Hear me
Move up and nuh try fi test me
Bwoy, move up, me nah go have no pity
Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me
Bwoy, move up, me pray to the Almighty

A nuff of dem a come with dem damn badmind
But Little Cutty Ranks, me a one of a kind
Me make dem a lyrics, and dem newly design
And down inna mi soup me put mi scallion and mi thyme

Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me
Bwoy, move up before you face the cemetery
Bwoy, move up before you dead and bury
Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me

East and West, a coulda North or South
A nuff of dem come a run up dem mouth
One of dem come, dem couldn't get me out
Me just draw fi the Glock and knock it out
Me is a soldier, me is not a ruffneck scout
Me fling down the lyrics, me nuh have no doubt

Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me
You better move up before you see the cemetery
Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me
Bwoy, move up before you dead and bury


Cah right yah now, Jah man, me have the authority
Fi ram up the dance and cork the party
Me well arms up, me have the artillery
Say, gwan Cutty Ranks, you nah go have no pity
A bwoy try a thing, me kill the whole family
Mother and daughter, kill the pickney
Say, gwan Cutty Ranks, ′cause you big already
If a bwoy try a thing, him bound to sorry

Bwoy, move up before you dead and bury
Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me
You better move up before you see the cemetery

Have the Glock, and the'matic, and the'special
Ragga da pussy, and the damn M3
.38,.45, And the Remi
Little Cutty Ranks me full of personality
Two shot inna the hand, two shot inna the knee
Little after that the bwoy bow down to me
Just, "Hey! Hey!", and a beg me

Bwoy, move up before you dead and bury
Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me
Bwoy, move up before me draw fi the Uzi
Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me

Down inna North and down inna South
One of dem come, just a run up him mouth
The next one, him just get coke out
But Little Cutty Ranks, me a ruffneck scout

Say, bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me
Bwoy, move up before you see the cemetery
Bwoy, move up because me rougher than dem
Bwoy, move up, don′t come give me no problem

No bother come with the badmindism
Leave it alone and think positive, yes
No try to think like a fugitive
When you think that way, you a think negative

Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me
Bwoy, move up, badmind nah full up your belly
Bwoy, move up, you grudge me fi mi baby
Bwoy, move up, you grudge me fi mi honey

You grudge me fi Cherry, Cherry a mi baby
And right yah now, me love her badly
But Little Cutty Ranks, me a the loving daddy
When me hold mi girl, me kill her with the agony

Bwoy, move up, you can′t get mi lady
Bwoy, move up and nuh try fi test me
Bwoy, move up before you see the cemetery
Bwoy, move up before me make you dead and bury

Have the Glock, and the'matic, and the′special
