Turn It Up
Chamillionaire feat. Lil' Flip Lyrics

[Whistle]
The sound of a whistle to grab attention

[Chamillionaire:]
Chamillionaire is speaking

Yeah!
Expressing enthusiasm or agreement

It's the name they say is running the game
Referring to himself as the one who is in charge and dominant in the music industry

Chamilitary Mayne
A play on words, combining his stage name Chamillionaire and 'Military' to create 'Chamilitary' that suggests he is a leader in the rap game

[Lil' Flip:] Flip in the building!
Lil' Flip introduces himself as being present in the same location as Chamillionaire

Go ahead and hand over the torch
It's time for the new generation of rappers (like Chamillionaire and Lil' Flip) to take over from the older generation of rappers

Super producer Scott Storch
Referring to the famous music producer, Scott Storch

And of course
Adding emphasis to what has just been said

[Chorus: Chamillionaire]
Chorus sung by Chamillionaire

I'm a show you how to get your shine on (shine on)
He's going to show people how to be successful and achieve their potential

Turn it up the DJ playing my song (my song)
Asking the DJ to increase the volume of the music and play his song

Everybody keep on calling my phone (my phone)
He is popular and receives many calls on his phone

Which one of y'all am I gone take home (take home)
He has many admirers and is trying to decide whom to take home with him

I'm a show 'em how to get the club crunk (club crunk)
He is going to demonstrate how to get the party started

Give 'em something that's goin' rattle that trunk (that trunk)
He's going to play music that has heavy bass and will vibrate cars driving by

Tip ya cups up until ya get drunk (get drunk)

Tell the DJ to play it loud and turn the beat up..
He wants the DJ to play the music loudly and increase the intensity of the rhythm

Give me that million dollar beat and let me show you what to do with it
He wants a good beat to work with so he can create an amazing song

(Who that is??) That's the illest rapper choppin' and screwin' it
Asking who the rapper is, and responding by saying it's himself, the best rapper who mixes and edits his music well

Couldnt snatch the game that's what they told me, so I'm provin it
People doubted his abilities, but he is proving them wrong by succeeding in the industry

Put the truth in Texas with Scott Storch and you got you a hit
Collaborating with Scott Storch results in a guaranteed hit

Hittin never miss rep yo click and throw 'em high
Always succeeding and promoting your team by throwing up their hand sign

Because Chamillionaire's the answer to the game like Allen I
He is the solution and solution maker when it comes to the rap industry

Middle fingaz to the sky, if they don't like that reply
Flipping off those who don't approve of him

Cause any DJ that deny is a mother fu errrwwwee lie
Any DJ who denies his talent is lying and foolish

So give the ladies what that want
Play music that appeals to and satisfies women

Got 'em racin' to the front of the stage to feel the bass and tell the DJ turn it up (Turn it Up)
Women can't resist dancing to his music and request for the volume to be increased

Yeaah Sound of Revenge saying Universal to go get my plaque
His album Sound of Revenge was successful and he wants his record label Universal to get him his plaque (certificate of achievement)

Rappin's dead so I'ma bring it back, like DJ's do when they hear my track
He's going to revive the rap genre that's already dying by making fresh music like DJs do when they find a fresh new tune

Check out my track record, they'll say I'm a track wrecka
He has a great history of making good songs

Hotter than a black pepper, now that I am back nigggga (He's Baaack)
Referring to the heat and excitement he brings, now that he's made a comeback

You can't get mad if you feel that you and cap fit ya
If it's the truth, then one can't get angry

Drop the biggest stats ever so don't let that bbback hit ya
Boasting about his achievements, and warning people not to let their back get hit as they leave the room

I'ma show you how to get your shine on (shine on)
He's going to share his knowledge and show people how to become successful

I'ma show 'em how to get the club crunk (club crunk)
He's going to demonstrate how to get the party started

[Lil' Flip]

When it's time to hit the club I let my chain hang
He wears his glistening chain when he goes to the club

If they got clovers on they neck we in the same gang
If someone has a clover necklace, it means they are a part of his clique

I'm 20 deep in V.I.P. puffin' Mary Jane
He's with 20 people in the VIP section smoking marijuana

Splinters still in my hand from my woodgrain
He has some woodgrain on his car or jewelry that has given him splinters

I got homies on the West who like to gangbang
He has friends in the western part of the country who are affiliated with a gang

And I got homies on the East who do the same thang
He has friends in the eastern part of the country who are also gangsters

I told Johhny put 50 in my pankyrang
He asked Johhny to deposit $50,000 in his bank account

5 karot diamond chain vvs is in it mayne
He is wearing a 5-karat diamond chain with very very slight inclusions

You know I rep the dirty dirty where they move cane
He's from the South, where illegal drug trade happens

You know we mix purple stuff in that blue drank
They add purple liquid to blue drink (a mixture of codeine cough syrup and soda)

Hipnotic, Big Bodies with Blue paint
A reference to Hypnotic liquor and big luxury cars like Cadillac painted blue

We got that oomp spray, but it still stank
They have an air freshener called 'oomp spray' but it's not very effective

You a lame so yo dame playin mind games
He insults someone for being uncool, and claims that their girlfriend is playing games with their head

Ima pimp so I stay in that mindframe
He sees himself as a pimp and thinks like one, probably meaning he's good with the ladies

Niggaz talk shit untill I let that nine bang
People talk nonsense until he threatens them with a nine-millimeter handgun

Me and Duke in that maybach switchin lanes
He and his friend Duke are driving a Maybach car and changing lanes frequently

[Bridge: Chamillionaire]
Chorus sung by Chamillionaire

Heaaded to the baar (I'm headed to the baar)
They are heading to the bar

You know I'm V.I.P. (You know I'm vipee)
They are VIPs and enjoy exclusive treatment

And since you rollin' with a star (You rollin with a staar)

(Who That Is??) That's dem boyz from Texas that always do it big
Referring to himself and Lil' Flip, both from Texas and known for their success and grandeur

Multi-colored diamonds got us shining They say our jewerly sick
Their expensive jewelry is of various colors and has caught people's attention

Houston got a problem and you don't want nuthin to do wit it (Do you kid?)
Houston has an issue that you don't want to get involved with, asking if the listener is capable of dealing with it

I ain't think so I'm tippin slow
Assuming the answer is 'no', he's taking things slow

Wen my trunk is liftin' up look at the neons as they glow
When he lifts up his car's trunk, he has neon lights that glow in the dark

Groupies never givin' up they be everywhere I go
His female fans and admirers follow him everywhere he goes

When that elevator go up to my suite they there fo sho
When he goes up to his suite by elevator, the women are there waiting for him

Told me that she didn't care about my money Wasnt hearin it
A girl claimed to not be interested in his wealth but he didn't believe her

Looks can be deceiving as Chamillion paint appearances
Assuming if she's willing to stand right there, she probably cares and looks can be deceptive. 'Chamillion paint appearances' is a play on words with his pseudonym

You know how we do it at home of Screw and purple syrup is
He represents 'Screwed Up Click' lifestyle where purple drink (codeine and soda) is a popular thing

She got turned out quicker than my power steering did
She became interested faster than his power steering takes to turn
