Back Up
Lil Rob Lyrics

Times are getting crazy holmes
The current times are becoming unstable and tumultuous.

Things are a lot different than they used to be homie
The current affairs have transformed drastically compared to the past.

A lotta these foo's need to back the fuck up
Numerous individuals are encroaching beyond their limits and require some space.

Sittin' at the bar just tippin' the glass
He is at a bar drinking some alcoholic beverage.

Tryin' to slow down my life 'cause it's gettin too fast
He is endeavoring to pacify his life since it's becoming excessively fast-paced.

But I don't mind see it's like quick in a flash
Despite his efforts to slow things down, time seems to be moving at warp speed, and he has no problem with it.

Don't get me wrong homeboy I'm not complainin'
His previous statements shouldn't be misunderstood as him being unhappy.

Don't get all mad I'm not braggin' I'm just sayin'
He doesn't want anyone to misconstrue his previous statement as him boasting about something.

Just playin' talk to me bout my music
He invites someone to talk to him about his music.

I want nothing to do with... phony people
He has no desire to associate himself with disingenuous individuals.

Don't care what you like and don't care who you're cool with
It doesn't matter what someone likes or who they are friends with; it's not a concern for him.

You're stupid actin' like if I'm the new kid
He feels that someone is exhibiting foolish behavior by treating him as if he is new to something.

I know you back in school you wanted to be the cool kid
He is aware that the person used to pursue the title of being the coolest during their school years.

While I sat back and didn't give a fuck
While the person was busy trying to be cool, he didn't care and wasn't bothered about it.

Now rap is all I have so homeboy that's what's up
His entire focus is only on his rapping career.

Homie please back up
He insists that someone should distance themselves from him.

Ten paces from the truck
He expects the individual to retreat ten steps away from his vehicle.

Don't want to press your luck
He warns them not to try their luck by violating his personal space.

My bomb'll self destruct
If someone doesn't heed his warning, then they will be responsible for their consequences.

I don't forget about the past now I'm kickin' your ass
He remembers past events and now has the upper hand.

I'll do it again and laugh 'cause you're kissin' my ass
If the situation repeats, then he will be amused because his opponent will be defeated.

Got a rented 45 and I'm able to shoot
He is carrying a rented 45 caliber pistol and knows how to use it.

You burnt them bridges, remember? So no one's fuckin' with you
They caused irreparable damage to their relationships, so no one wants to hang around them anymore.

Ain't got no friends, ain't got no ends 'cause you keep burnin' your people
They lost their friends and opportunities due to their destructive actions towards others.

Tell me when does it end? When will you realize that shit ain't cool?
He is asking when someone will come to their senses and stop being unpleasant.

But they're just kids they really don't know what to do
He is sympathetic to younger people who may not know better.

Don't worry mijo, it'll come to you
He gives assurance that experience will eventually teach young people what's right.

What was I thinkin' about this vato's bein' about a buncha dumb shit
He is regretful of his past involvement with individuals that caused trouble.

Can't believe I used to bump this, fuck this
He can't believe he used to listen to this music and now wants nothing to do with it anymore.

Jump in the carrucha put my foot on the gas
He steps on the gas pedal of his car.

Hit the second switch from the left to lift up the ass
He activates a switch that raises the rear end of his car.

But I'ma catch you sleepin' and pop a cap in your ass
He warns someone that if they are not careful, he will harm them.

Put the holes in my own car if that's where you are
He is willing to damage his own car if necessary to get to someone.

Handle my shit then probably go back to the bar
He will deal with his issues and return to the bar to have a drink.

But I'm three feet from gold and I was told I got a flow that's cold
He is close to achieving his goals and has an excellent rapping style.

I guess that explains so many units sold
His skill in rapping explains why he has sold so many copies of his music.

I'm a good guy but sometimes I just explode
He describes himself as mild-mannered, but there are times when he gets angry.

Because it's bullshit the way it goes down
The way things are transpiring is frustrating and annoying.

But my people really need me around, Chicano sound
Despite the issues he faces, his community requires him to keep making music and represent the Chicano culture.
