Uh, uh
Woo

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool

Up in here, up in here (uh)
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool (uh)
Up in here, up in here

If I gotsta bring it to you cowards, then it's gonna be quick, aight?
All your mans that been to jail before, suck my dick
And all them other cats you run with, get done with, dumb quick
How the fuck you gon' cross the dog with some bum shit? Aight
There go the gun click, 9-1-1 shit
All over some dumb shit, ain't that some shit?
Y'all niggas remind me of a strip club
'Cause every time you come around, it's like what?
I just gotta get my dick sucked
And I don't know who the fuck you think you talkin' to
But I'm not him, aight, Slim? So watch what you do
Or you gon' find yourself buried next to someone else
And we all thought you loved yourself
But that couldn't have been the issue
Or maybe they just sayin' that now 'cause they miss you
Shit, a nigga tried to diss you
That's why you layin' on your back, lookin' at the roof of the church
Preacher tellin' the truth and it hurts

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here

Off the chain, I leave niggas soft in the brain
'Cause niggas still want the fame off the name
First of all, you ain't rapped long enough
To be fuckin' with me, and you, you ain't strong enough
So whatever it is you puffin' on that got you thinkin' that you Superman
I got the Kryptonite, should I smack him with my dick or the mic?
Y'all niggas is characters, not even good actors
What's gon' be the outcome? Hmm, let's add up all the factors
You whack, you twisted, your girl's a ho
You broke, the kid ain't yours, and everybody know
Your own man say you stupid, you be like
"So? I love my baby mother, I'll never let her go"
I'm tired of weak-ass niggas whinin' over puss
That don't belong to them, fuck is wrong with them?
They fuck it up for real niggas like my mans and them
Who get it all on the strength of the hands with them, man

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here

I bring down rain so heavy it hurts the head
No more talkin', put him in the dirt instead
You keep walkin', 'less you tryin' to end up red
'Cause if I end up Fed, y'all end up dead
'Cause you's a soft-type nigga (uh)
Fake up North type nigga (uh)
Puss like a soft white nigga (uh)
Dog is a dog, blood's thicker than water
We done been through the mud and we quicker to slaughter
The bigger the order, the more guns we brung out
Run up in there, everybody come out, don't nobody burn out
Sun in to sun out, I'm a keep the gun out
Nigga runnin' his mouth, I'm a blow his lung out
Listen, yo' ass is about to be missin'
You know who gon' find you? (Who?) Some old man fishin'
Grandma wishin' your soul's at rest
But it's hard to digest with the size of the hole in your chest (uh)

Y'all gon' make me lose my mind
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me go all out
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me act a fool
Up in here, up in here
Y'all gon' make me lose my cool
Up in here, up in here (hold up)

One, two, meet me outside
Meet me outside, meet me outside
All my Ruff Ryders gon' meet me outside
Meet me outside, meet me outside
All my big ballers gon' meet me outside
Meet me outside, meet me outside
All my fly ladies gon' meet me outside

Double R, keep it comin' (ain't nothin' y'all can do)
Ain't nothin' y'all can do now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of DMX/Dj Dimixer's song 'Party Up' combine raw and aggressive language with a rhythm that is perfect for partying. The song is essentially a threat against anyone who dares to disrespect DMX. In the first few lines, he warns "Y'all gonna make me lose my mind" and "Y'all gonna make me go all out." He proceeds to berate and insult anyone who tries to test him or his crew. Throughout the song, the lyrics are filled with bravado, insults, and threats. He implies that he is the alpha dog who should not be tested.

However, the repeated chorus "Y'all gonna make me lose my mind up here, up in here" suggests that DMX is actually losing control of his temper and would rather be partying, having a good time, than dealing with the drama of fighting against haters. The lyrics could be interpreted as a cry for help from someone who is feeling trapped by their own reputation and the need to constantly defend their pride. In this way, the song can be seen as a commentary on the toxic culture of hip-hop masculinity and the impact it can have on musicians as well as their listeners.
