Hook It Up
Mindless Behavior Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Shawty, let's hook it up

M-B on my necklace, J's on my feet
Money on my mind BPM on the beat
Yeah cop this when it leaks
Four bars in the intro
Courtesy of me, Roc

Baby what's good?
Video chat again
You look cute
I miss you, is that your friend?
Tell her my boy said wassup (wassup)
He's standing right here
Put her face on the camera
So he can get at her

Uh-oh somebody's acting shy, why?
Do she already got a boyfriend?
You know I always keep it fly, why?
'Cause I rep M-B shawty!

You can bring your friends and I can bring my friends
Let the party begin, begin, begin
You can bring you friends and I can bring my friends
What you doing this weekend weekend we in
Let's hook it up girl
Let's get up girl
Leave it all to me
It's gon' be us y'all
It's a party y'all
Everybody nod they head to this beat with me
Let's hook it up girl
Let's get up girl
Leave it all to me
It's gon' be us y'all
It's a party y'all
Everybody nod they head to this beat with me

We in my hood
Kicking it at my house
Summertime, we chillin', just hanging out
My homies here
Where your girls
Betta come out the house
We bout to get acquainted now
(It's going down)

Uh-oh somebody's acting shy, why?
Do she already got a boyfriend?
You know I always keep it fly, why?
'Cause I rep M-B shawty!

You can bring your friends and I can bring my friends
Let the party begin, begin, begin
You can bring you friends and I can bring my friends
What you doing this weekend weekend we in
Let's hook it up girl
Let's get up girl
Leave it all to me
It's gon' be us y'all
It's a party y'all
Everybody nod they head to this beat with me
Let's hook it up girl
Let's get up girl
Leave it all to me
It's gon' be us y'all
It's a party y'all
Everybody nod they head to this beat with me

(Talk to me Roc)

Listen up little lady
There's a kick back in my area
Skaters and ballers jerkin' see that, hysteria
Red cup in your hand
They leaving you staying
Naw, I'm just playing
Just putting the ball in your hand
Let's go!

So come on, come on
Girl get over here
Shawty we got things to do
Wassup with me and you?
So come on, come on
Girl get over here

Girl everybody coming through
Girl wassup with me and you

Let's hook it up girl
Let's get up girl

It's a party y'all
Everybody nod they head to this beat with me
Everybody nod they head to this beat with me
Everybody nod they head to this beat with me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Hook It Up" by Mindless Behavior are focused on the idea of starting a party and inviting people to come and hang out. The singer of the song - presumably one of the band members - is trying to woo a girl into hanging out with him and his friends, and he's using his reputation as a member of MB to impress her. The verses switch back and forth between different scenarios - the singer talking to the girl on video chat, hanging out with his friends at home, and trying to convince the girl to come to a party he's throwing. The chorus repeats the central message of the song: "Let's hook it up girl, let's get up girl, leave it all to me / It's gonna be us y'all, it's a party y'all, everybody nod they head to this beat with me."


On the surface, "Hook It Up" is just a catchy party anthem, but there's a deeper emotional layer that emerges in the song's use of technology. The lyrics describe the singer talking to the girl on video chat, and he seems genuinely excited to see her - "You look cute, I miss you, is that your friend?" The use of technology to connect with other people is a recurring theme in Mindless Behavior's music, and it's interesting to see how they incorporate it into their lyrics.


Overall, "Hook It Up" is a fun, lighthearted song that showcases Mindless Behavior's skills as pop-R&B performers. It's a catchy track that's sure to get stuck in your head, and it's a great example of how the band blends different genres and styles to create their own unique sound.
