Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody stopping us now
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Hey, hey
With another one, down for the count
From the nigga that you hoes, all love to hate
Steady be shining these diamonds, all in your face
In a paper chase, in it just to win the race
Gotta be watching my back, and avoid the fakes
Really don't give a damn, what none of you hoes think
How many mo' niggaz, want to try my skills
Struggling hard, I'm trying to pay my bills
Never really know, who my friend or foes
Watch my friends, and keep my enemies close
All around the world, we may go
Still remain, to be the same old song
You say you be feeling me, but I don't know
You prolly just want to be, backstage at a show
Telling everybody you know, Guerilla Maab
Riding our dick, must be your big job
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody stopping us now
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Hey, hey

Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody stopping us now
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Hey, hey
Finally we done made our way
Everything that come in the past, came today
I been looking in the future, for a brighter day
Trials and tribulations in life, I learn to evade
The sun is shining, every dog has his bone in time
And it seems to be, that my time is now
I remember, when they said I would be nothing
But now that nothing is something, and I be bringing 'em down
Sho' I'm a clown, nothing but the skill when I be wrecking
Up out of Texas, with diamonds all over my necklace
I keep they head checking, pass to profession
And can't nobody contest, 'cause that's the way we are a legend
You better count your blessings, 'cause I'm sick and tired of this thang
And while I be blowing my Mary Jane, I'm chilling with thugs
Sipping on mud, trying to keep my head long from slugs
Guerilla Maab on the rise, and we keeping it crunk
It was all a dream, other people said I would never be
Nothing, now collecting dividends to ride a Benz
Down I-10, dropping the top in the wind
With a friend once again, yelling out fuck friends
Bubble lens, when I be stacking my ends
Trying to see, could you really picture me
S3 with a JVC, 18's in the trunk ready to beat
Chunking deuce to hoes, and burning off on them freaks
I'm a ghetto superstar, and a certified thug
So all you certified scrubs, get certified slugs
Southside till I'm dead, gotta be moving they head
Gotta keep my head up, for my brother in the FED
This is dedicated to niggaz, who be turning they back
Slamming all of they do's, and burning off in they Lac
Since we done made it, they don't really know how to act
Guerilla Maab's on the rise, and stacking platinum placks
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody stopping us now
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Hey, hey
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody stopping us now
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Hey, hey
All I did was put a buzz
In everybody mutherfucking ear, about the group I'm in
Now look at the candy coupe I'm in
I took a big six hundred to the shop, and told em candy blue my Benz
I put a bunch of money in my billfold, 'cause I'm real cold
When I'm on the microphone
Everybody want to kill, to get a piece of my mill
But I'mma weigh my skills, better surrender or bite my chrome
'Cause I'mma fight my homeboys, write my own bars
When it comes, to the pen and pad
Thinking about the swine I had, and everything I own
Could the shit wasn't bad, but in reality nigga
I was fucked up low life, living in sin
But I was given a chance, to start pimping a pen
Now Blockbuster, Soundwaves and Sam Goody's
Be running out of my product, and re-order again
And certify myself, half a million sold
Guerilla Maab nationwide, nigga all in the stores
A yellow bitch, I'mma put my dick all in a hoe
A nigga want to plex, put his face all in the flo'
My foot all in the do', and coming in and out my barge
Maseratti and a Benz, got 'em in the garage
And put a whole card, and a pool in my backyard
A Guerilla Maab superstar, you can't hold me down
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody stopping us now
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Hey, hey
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody stopping us now
Maab is on the rise
Ain't nobody holding us down
Maab is on the rise
Hey, hey

Advising others to appreciate what they have, as they are tired of the current situation

Down I-10, dropping the top in the wind
Driving on Interstate 10 with the convertible top down
With a friend once again, yelling out fuck friends
Expressing disappointment and frustration towards unreliable companions
Bubble lens, when I be stacking my ends
Wearing expensive sunglasses while accumulating wealth
Trying to see, could you really picture me
Questioning whether others can envision them in their current successful state
S3 with a JVC, 18's in the trunk ready to beat
Driving a specific car model with a powerful sound system installed
Chunking deuce to hoes, and burning off on them freaks
Showing off and leaving behind less desirable individuals
I'm a ghetto superstar, and a certified thug
Proclaiming their status as both a respected figure and a street-oriented individual
So all you certified scrubs, get certified slugs
Warning those who falsely claim to be tough that they will face the consequences
Southside till I'm dead, gotta be moving they head
Remaining loyal to their origins and forcing others to acknowledge their talent
Gotta keep my head up, for my brother in the FED
Staying positive and strong for a friend who is incarcerated
This is dedicated to niggaz, who be turning they back
A tribute to those who have betrayed them
Slamming all of they do's, and burning off in they Lac
Disregarding and leaving behind those who have wronged them
Since we done made it, they don't really know how to act
Their success has surprised and confused those who didn't expect it
Guerilla Maab's on the rise, and stacking platinum placks
Guerilla Maab is rapidly gaining success and accumulating significant achievements
All I did was put a buzz
All they did was generate excitement and attention
In everybody mutherfucking ear, about the group I'm in
Promoting and raising awareness about their music group to everyone
Now look at the candy coupe I'm in
Drawing attention to the luxury car they are now driving
I took a big six hundred to the shop, and told em candy blue my Benz
Having a costly car modified to have a candy blue color
I put a bunch of money in my billfold, 'cause I'm real cold
Carrying a significant amount of cash in their wallet, emphasizing their success
When I'm on the microphone
When they are performing or rapping
Everybody want to kill, to get a piece of my mill
Others are envious and willing to harm them to acquire some of their wealth
But I'mma weigh my skills, better surrender or bite my chrome
They are confident in their abilities and suggest that others should either give up or face aggressive consequences
'Cause I'mma fight my homeboys, write my own bars
They are willing to compete against their friends and have written their own lyrics
When it comes, to the pen and pad
When it concerns writing and creating music
Thinking about the swine I had, and everything I own
Reflecting on past struggles and appreciating their current possessions
Could the shit wasn't bad, but in reality nigga
Their situation wasn't terrible, but in truth
I was fucked up low life, living in sin
They were impoverished and living a morally questionable lifestyle
But I was given a chance, to start pimping a pen
They were provided an opportunity to pursue a career in music
Now Blockbuster, Soundwaves and Sam Goody's
Popular record stores that now stock their music
Be running out of my product, and re-order again
Their albums are in high demand and need to be restocked frequently
And certify myself, half a million sold
They have achieved the milestone of selling 500,000 copies and are proud of their accomplishment
Guerilla Maab nationwide, nigga all in the stores
Their music is available and popular across the entire country
A yellow bitch, I'mma put my dick all in a hoe
They express their sexual conquests with confidence
A nigga want to plex, put his face all in the flo'
If someone wants to cause trouble, they will be met with violence
My foot all in the do', and coming in and out my barge
They are constantly active and entering and leaving their expensive possessions
Maseratti and a Benz, got 'em in the garage
They own luxury cars such as a Maserati and a Mercedes Benz
And put a whole card, and a pool in my backyard
They have invested in a large house with a swimming pool
A Guerilla Maab superstar, you can't hold me down
Asserting their status and declaring that no one can impede their success
