"Give Up the Goods (Just Step)" is a song by American hip-hop duo Mobb Deep. It was the second single from their album, "The Infamous," released in 1995. The song features rapper Nas and is produced by frequent collaborator DJ Premier.
The song is about the harsh realities of life in the Queensbridge housing projects, where Mobb Deep and Nas grew up. The lyrics describe the struggle to survive and the need to be prepared for violence at all times. The chorus samples a line from Edwin Starr's 1970 anti-war song "War": "War, huh, yeah, what is it good for? Absolutely nothing."
"Give Up the Goods (Just Step)" was a minor hit, peaking at #60 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It is now considered a classic hip-hop track and a quintessential example of the gritty, streetwise sound that Mobb Deep helped pioneer in the 1990s.
