Send It Up
God/Kanye West Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Reliving the past
Yuh lost

Rock star bitch call me Elvis
M.O.B, she call me selfish
Success got 'em jealous
Shorty's killing, while I'm drilling
Tattoos, how they break the news

It was real if you made the news
Last night my bitches came in twos
And they both suck like they came to lose
Dropped out the first day of school
'Cause niggas got cocaine to move
I be going hard, I got a name to prove
Killing 'em, honey how I make the pain improve

We can send this bitch up, it can't go down

We can send this bitch up, it can't go down

This the greatest shit in the club
Since "In Da Club"
It's so packed I might ride around
On my bodyguard's back like Prince in the club
She say "Can you get my friends in the club?"
I say "Can you get my Benz in the club?"
If not, treat your friends like my Benz
Park they ass outside 'til the evening end
When I go raw, I like to leave it in
When I wake up, I like to go again
When I go to work, she gotta call it in
She can't go to work, same clothes again
And her heart colder than the souls of men
Louboutin on the toes again
Tight dress dancing close to him
Yeezus just rose again

We can send this bitch up, it can't go down

Memories don't live like people do
They always 'member you
Whether things are good or bad
It's just the memories that you have

Memories don't live like people do
They always 'member you

Whether things are good or bad
It's just the memories that you have

They were both very good at performing oral sex

I did not finish school

Since "In Da Club"
Comparing the greatness of the moment to the success of 50 Cent's "In da Club"

It's so packed I might ride around
The club is very crowded

On my bodyguard's back like Prince in the club
I will ride on my bodyguard's back like Prince did in one of his music videos

She say "Can you get my friends in the club?"
Someone asks if I can get their friends into the club

I say "Can you get my Benz in the club?"
I respond by asking if they can park my Benz in the club

If not, treat your friends like my Benz
If you can't get my car in, then your friends can't come in either

Park they ass outside 'til the evening end
They can wait outside until the club closes

When I go raw, I like to leave it in
When I have sex without a condom, I like to ejaculate inside

When I wake up, I like to go again
I have a high sex drive and want to have sex again in the morning

When I go to work, she gotta call it in
If I have sex before going to work, she needs to call in and let them know I'll be late

She can't go to work, same clothes again
The woman I had sex with can't go to work the next day because she doesn't have any clean clothes

And her heart colder than the souls of men
She is heartless

Louboutin on the toes again
She is wearing Louboutin shoes

Tight dress dancing close to him
She is dancing very close to me

Yeezus just rose again
I am like a god and I have risen again

Memories don't live like people do
Memories are different from real life experiences

They always 'member you
Memories always remember you

Whether things are good or bad
Whether memories are positive or negative

It's just the memories that you have
What you remember is what shapes you as a person
