Formed in Dublin in the late 1990's, mrnorth have had quite an odyssey leading up to the release of their debut record Lifesize. The four-piece, made up of two brothers, a first cousin and a next door neighbor, started playing together when they were young teens. After making some noise on the Dublin scene, the boys left Ireland for Vicenza, Italy. The trip was supposed to last for 3 months, just long enough for a producer to put down some tracks for a record. Instead, the band became local favorites and toured all of Italy for the next two years. Then, the band met up with an American manager who brought them to New York City. With constant performances, mrnorth built up a great fan base in New York and eventually all over the Northeast. Next, the band caught the eye of several record executives. mrnorth scored a record deal and went into the studio with Jerry Harrison (Talking Heads, Live, No Doubt). The result was Lifesize, 12 moving tunes of epic proportions. Lifesize allows the listener to feel an enormous lift with each song from start to finish, just as it is delivered by mrnorth in the live performance. The record exhibits an incredible unity and tightness among its four members. Smith delivers the songs with one of the most powerful and original voices in music today and is often compared to Jeff Buckley, Thom Yorke and Freddie Mercury. Audiences are constantly blown away by the charismatic singer's vocals combined with his energetic performances. mrnorth broke out of the Northeast in 2003 with tours in the Southeast, Midwest, West Coast and Hawaii including support shows with Liz Phair, Puddle of Mudd, Sheryl Crow, Evanescence, Bruce Willis and 'Lollapalooza 2003. 2004 saw them taking part in Lollapalooza, Nashville Rivers, Camp Jeep and Music Fest as well as supporting The Who, Van Halen, Live and Brian Adams. The band have spent the last few months writing and recording the follow up to Lifesize.

Mr. North Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggas sing like opera
No soul around me I trust
Don’t ever keep ya eyes shut
The money where my eyes stuck
I’m hungry like a potluck
Bang on these hoes pass these hoes to the bro’s
Pass these bitches off cz I got em for the low
The cops my enemy so I’m always on my toes
If you ain know
Bitch I’m marii north I’m otw to be a goat
Bitch it’s this or that
Either ya hot or bitch u cold
It’s like kit & Kat
Bitch I break u off fasho
Ain paying for no pussy bitch I get dat shit for free
Zodiac killer on these beats I’m on a spree
My voice a vibrator she get wet when I speak
Niggas high off percs but they low on loyalty
Nowadays niggas want attention more than commas
Exotic strands of trees got me higher than a Martian
I’m the one u niggas better fear ima haunt ya
I done turnt to pluto went beast mode & then a monster
That bitch a whole freak she eat dick for a hour
And she got dat WAP told her ride it like a tonka
Cheat the process nigga u gone get wat it cost ya
& everytime my back against the wall I always prosper
Yea they got them stix but they ain gon let it go
You niggas only do shit for the gram its just for show
Catch the wrong one u gone go out like a hoe
Way to go u niggas lost ya spot & now u gone
Yea shoutout all my rivals
I seen the future nigga I’ll probably pass some of my idols
They tried to leave me 4 dead so I turnt homicidal
Ready to kill whatever I done turnt to Michael Myers

Money seems to have captured his attention, as he mentions being fixated on it. He compares his hunger for success to a potluck, highlighting his ambition. The lyrics also touch on objectifying women, suggesting he passes them on to his friends, showing a lack of regard for their feelings or well-being. The mention of OnlyFans implies a woman's attempt to prevent exposing herself but at the same time, exposes the darker sides of society.
The lyrics express a distaste for the police, suggesting a contentious relationship. The line "Bitch I'm marii north I'm otw to be a goat" indicates his aspirations to become one of the greatest in the game. The lyrics also touch on the duality of people, referring to them as being either hot or cold, comparing it to the Kit Kat chocolate bar. The reference to the Zodiac Killer and his voice being like a vibrator suggests his ability to manipulate and control others.
Overall, the lyrics depict a person driven by ambition, distrustful of others, and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means resorting to violence.
