Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go ahead and keep the, yeah
See you sweat, see you sweat, hah, hah, hm

Go ahead and keep the lights on
I just wanna (I see you sweat)
Just keep the lights on, yeah (I see you sweat)
Hands up like black and whites come
Go ahead and clap your hands like you tryna fight some, son
Go ahead and keep the lights on
I just wanna (I see you sweat)
Just keep the lights on (I see you sweat)
Hands up like black and whites come
Go ahead and clap your hands like you tryna fight some, son

First off, uh, bow down
'Cause this feel like Midnight Club in D-town, wassup?
DUB Edition, new keys in the ignition
My hat tippin', Dontrelle Willis with the feet kickin'
Her knees cranking, you see what P cranking, uh
I mean, listen, uh, y'all be trippin', uh
See, we'll lately been seeing y'all be grading, uh
I mean, face it, y'all niggas is cheap fragrance
They know me, the phonies
They copy, they jocking
But Groggsie, he just drinking Carlo Rossi
And the pretty boy finna end the title reign, Arturo Gatti
We in this thing with the whole posse
And this fit just asking niggas to just rob me
And these kicks just asking niggas to start rockin'
But you ain't gotta ask a nigga, you just watch me

Go ahead and keep the lights on
I just wanna (I see you sweat)
Just keep the lights on, yeah (I see you sweat)
Hands up like black and whites come
Go ahead and clap your hands like you tryna fight some, son
Go ahead and keep the lights on
I just wanna (I see you sweat)
Just keep the lights on (I see you sweat)
Hands up like black and whites come
Go ahead and clap your hands like you tryna fight some, son

Yeah, Henny out the bottle, I don't need no glass
This is all me, so please don't ask
Ballin' on a budget, gotta make this last
Nick driving reckless, hoping we don't crash
Pull up mad deep with all my niggas
My lil bro just dropped your rent on Denim
In the back, with my feet up kicking
Belly out, with my shirt, that's linen
I'm just tryna vibe, yeah, we out here giggin', uh
Two-stepping, just out here killin'
Gettin' hot in here, plus the Henny done kicked in
I need to slow down, 'fore your boy gets kicked out
Still feeling myself, just socializing
But you better not ask me to start freestyling
Honestly, I don't like the nightlife full
Since I'm here, I guess I'll enjoy the lights like you

See you sweat, see you sweat
See you sweat, see you sweat
Go ahead and keep the lights on (I see you sweat)
I just wanna (I see you sweat)
Just keep the lights on (I see you sweat)
Hands up like black and whites come (I see you sweat)
Go ahead and clap your hands like you tryna fight some, son (I see you sweat)
Go ahead and keep the lights on (I see you sweat)
I just wanna (I see you sweat)
Just keep the, yeah, yeah (I see you sweat)
Lights on, son, son (I see you sweat)
Go ahead and keep the lights on, I just wanna see you sw- (uh)

Go ahead and keep the lights on
I just wanna (I see you sweat)
Just keep the lights on, yeah (I see you sweat)
Hands up like black and whites come
Go ahead and clap your hands like you tryna fight some, son
Go ahead and keep the lights on
I just wanna (I see you sweat)
Just keep the lights on (I see you sweat)




Hands up like black and whites come
I just wanna (see you sweat, see you sweat)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Injury Reserve's song "See You Sweat" seem to be about the desire to see others exerting themselves and putting in effort. The repeated phrase "I see you sweat" suggests that the singer enjoys witnessing the hard work and dedication of others. The lyrics also touch on themes of authenticity and being true to oneself, as indicated by lines like "This is all me, so please don't ask" and "I'm just tryna vibe, yeah, we out here giggin'."


The song begins with a playful encouragement for someone to "keep the lights on," implying that the singer wants to see them in action, fully engaged and giving it their all. The mention of black and whites may refer to police officers, suggesting that the singer wants the person to put up a fight or show determination, as if they were facing authority. The verses also contain references to various cultural and mundane elements, such as Midnight Club (a video game), D-Town (Detroit), Dontrelle Willis (a baseball player), and Carlo Rossi (a brand of wine).


In the final verse, the singer reflects on their own experiences, mentioning the pleasure of drinking Henny (Hennessy) straight from the bottle and the enjoyment of socializing and embracing the nightlife. However, there is a warning about not asking the singer to freestyle, suggesting a preference for simply being present and enjoying the atmosphere without feeling the pressure to perform.
