The Re-Up Gang are an American hip hop group formed in 2004, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The group was formed by Pusha T and Malice, brothers and members of Virginia-based hip hop duo Clipse, alongside Philadelphia-based rappers Ab-Liva and Sandman. The Re-Up Gang is perhaps best known for their signature We Got It 4 Cheap mixtape series.
The Re-Up Gang was created in early 2004, during Clipse's long hiatus between their first and second albums. The group includes Clipse themselves, as well as long-time friend Ab-Liva of Major Figgas. Pusha T is credited with founding the group, and was responsible for enlisting the help of mixtape DJ Clinton Sparks to put together their first mixtape in an ongoing series, We Got It 4 Cheap: Vol. 1. While a Re-Up Gang album is planned, no specifics have been released due to Clipse's legal issues with Jive Records. On August 5, 2008 (UK: September 8, 2008) the group released an album on Koch Records titled Clipse Presents: Re-Up Gang. The album featured nine new songs and three unreleased remixes from We Got It 4 Cheap Vol. III. Rapper Pusha T said:
Used to get domed up by crackheads,
And still got my balls licked by pretty bitches,
Sack n the Scottie Pippen's, Kid on the Gotti mission,
But seen his down fall is your best friend snitching
I'm in the kitchen with the mcspoon and lactose,
Rat bitch rubbing on her titties on the row
Nigga come down, listen for the doe,
I know my baby momma bet not call no mo,
Bitch talking Pampers, no she's full of shit,
Impossible for babies 2 take that many shits.
Rapping about bricks but I ain't never seen one,
I think I've seen like three hundred bo's once,
Fuck 'em with 'em addicts, holding automatics...
Dog I ain't lying even served a Dramatic,
Used to bring the lettuce then I had to dead it
Ass tried to song every time he wanted credit
[Chorus:]
And I'm trying to make re-up
Fuck around, put a G-up
And blow a blunt with my man,
See I'm just trying to make re-up.
Fuck around and put a g-up,
And drink a fifth for my niggas,
See, I'm just trying to make a re-up.
Fuck around, put a G-up
And blow a blunt with my man,
See I'm just trying to make re-up.
Fuck around and put a g-up,
And drink a fifth for my niggas!
Christmas every year come faster and faster
New Year come around claim my baby on your taxes.
Dog I kno connects, you middleman taxing,
3 gram dimes of green, u was rocking chloe glasses
Did for the Jordans for what you feel important
I'm 02 my weed increased the dropout rate at northern,
Senior bitches skipping, get em weeded out,
And take her in the back room, my nigga smut em out,
Hoodrat bitches putting blunts in they mouth,
Smoke some weed, order coney time 2 fuck it out,
Rock a fit 4 3 days then go and cop a new one,
Rode a bike to linwood just to give away my ones,
Hopping out the cab and when I step out,
First thing they say I ain't kno them came out,
But nigga I ain't trippin I'm grinding on a few bucks,
Really ballin and I'm trying step it up.
[Chorus:]
And I'm trying to make re-up
Fuck around, put a G-up
And blow a blunt with my man,
See I'm just trying to make re-up.
Fuck around and put a g-up,
And drink a fifth for my niggas,
See, I'm just trying to make a re-up.
Fuck around, put a G-up
And blow a blunt with my man,
See I'm just trying to make re-up.
Fuck around and put a g-up,
