Mobb Deep, Crystal Johnson - Temperature’s Rising lyrics

Yeah uh huh, no doubt, son word up

Word up, son, I heard they got you on the run
For a body, now it's time to stash the guns
They probably got the phones tapped
So I won't speak long
Gimme a hot second, and I'ma put you on
It's all messed up
Somebody snitching on the crew
And word is on the street is
They got pictures of you
Homicide came to the crib last night
Six deep asking on your whereabouts and
Where d'you sleep
They said they just wanna question you
But me and you know
That once they catch you
All they do is just arrest you
Then arraign you, hang you, I don't think so
It's a good thing you bounced for now
Just stay low once in a blue
I check to see how you're doing
I know you need loot
So I send it through Western Union
They probably knock down the door
In the middle of the night
Sometimes around four
Hoping to find who they looking for
But they won't succeed
All they gonna find is mad empty bags of weed
But word, son
You got the projects hotter than hell
Harder for brothers to get their thug on
But oh well son, they know too much
Even the hoodrat chicks
"Oh, you heard who did what?" No
I don't know who did shit so stop asking
And I know I'm not going crazy
From windows, I see lights flashing and maybe
Somebody's taking pictures
You know who that be
Police lovers, and neighborhood snitches
They put up a G
So everybody's pointing fingers
And lying, ayy yo son, the temp is rising

The temperature's rising
No there's nothing surprising
The temperature's rising, huh
And ain't nothing surprising
The temperature's rising, huh
And ain't nothing surprising
The temperature's rising
(There's nothing surprising)

What up
Black? Hold your head wherever you at
On the flow from the cops
With wings on your back
That snitch nigga gave police your location
We'll chop his body up in
Six degrees of separation killer, listen
Shit ain't the same without you at home
Phony niggas walk around trying
To be your clone
They really fear you, when you was at home
They was pale that's why they wanna see you
Either dead or in jail
By the time you hear this rhyme
You'll probably be locked up
Tried to hide, somewhere along the lines
Your plans slipped up
Got caught up in a crime
That you can't take back
Reminiscing how I used to pick
You up in the Ac'
Years ago when we was younger
Seemed the hood took us under very deep
Wondering who snitch
It got me losing lots of sleep at night
You know my mouth is tight
I never sang to the cops
'cause that shit ain't right
Sometimes, I stroll past the scene
Of the crime and backtrack
Damn, why the situation go down like that?
It'll be a long time before
The heat dies down
And a couple of years 'fore
We see you around but 'til then
Maintain and keep your story the same
The cops is grabbing wrong niggas
Looking for someone to blame
They harassing, struggling to find the truth
There's a chance ya case'll get thrown out
'Cause they ain't got no proof
To say you're guilty
Your fingerprints filthy deliver me the gun
I'll tie it to a brick and
Throw it in the river
Make sure it sinks to the bottom
Outsmart police, snuck you out the projects
We got 'em but still (But still, but still)

The temperature's rising
No there's nothing surprising (Oh)
The temperature's rising
And ain't nothing surprising (Yeah)
The temperature's rising
And ain't nothing surprising
(Temperature's rising, uh)
The temperature's rising
And ain't nothing surprising (Oh, oh)
The temperature's rising
And ain't nothing surprising
The temperature's rising
And ain't nothing surprising (Oh, rising)
The temperature's rising
And ain't nothing surprising (Rising, yeah)
The temperature's rising
And ain't nothing surprising
(Ain't nothing ain't rising)

Surprising, surprising, surprising
Surprising, surprising (No, no, no, woah)
Surprising, surprising, surprising
Surprising, surprising
(Temperature's rising)
Surprising, surprising, surprising
(No, no, something rising, baby)
Surprising, surprising (Oh, oh, woah, oh, oh)
Surprising, surprising (Oh, woah, oh)
Rising to the top, rising, rising
Temperature's, temperature's rising
The temperature, the temperature's rising
