Keeping It Up
Mr. Blotto Lyrics

If bby bout a bag we gone run up
Ain't no horse playing get them numbers up
If I don't run the city I'm the runner up
Grind day an night I'm 100 up
The way I plan the play is sophisticated
Still grinding day an night like I never made it
Couple hundred up stomach still rumbling
Driving through the hills real humbling
The money that I stack they blow it on a crib
That's why I'm in these streets gettin it how i live

All these niccas want to be a nicca that ain't
That's why i'm always doin shit these niccas can't
Two years home standing on my own 2
Ten whips money in the safe all blue
Lost a couple niggas I would buss 4
Like damn pops told me not trust tho
It always be your own niccas
Sometimes I'm loyal to the wrong niccas
I guess this shit just make me strong nicca
Vision clear I'm in my zone nicca
Twenty Twenty made a cold nicca
I used to brake it down to stones nicca
If bby bout a bag we gone run up
Ain't no horse playing get them numbers up
If I don't run the city I'm the runner up
Grind day an night i'm 100 up
I'm loving life
I'm a living legend
So godly like I live in heaven
To the street I'm a fuccin veteran
Etcetera... etcetera...
I put that on the 3rd letter cuh
Ain't another nicca like me
You can't make another white D
My life a movie like a spike Lee
But this ain't a flic
This that young gogetta shit
Born an raised in the city bitch
Addicted to the bag gettin
Europeans wit the stash in it
Incase i gotta let they ass get it
Toe tagg wit the bag wit it
Cause this ain't a game
I'm a winner you a fuckn lame
I set trends so I built a lane
Got this money from producing pain
On baby dogg we are not the same
Ever succa nigga hating smell the gun smoke
Naw I'm just playin that's fun joke

They formed in the early 1990's in Chicago as a group of musicians with no intent or plan for becoming an official band. They began playing open mic nights in the city only to find that a series of bootlegs had increased in popularity. The band was less than a year old when the band took to the studio to record their first disc "parking karma". In 2006 the band, with the help of former Grateful Dead lyricyst John Perry Barlow, released their 5th studio album titled "Barlow Shanghai".

Today Mr. Blotto remains one of the most distinctive improvisational regional bands. The group continues to tour, but rarely leaves the Chicago area.

Major influences for the band included The Allman Brothers Band, The Grateful Dead, Bob Dylan, Bob Marley and Widespread Panic to name a few.
