Stand Up
Lil Wayne Ft. Lil Scrappy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Chorus]
Stand up
If you don't like what I'm saying then buck
Swing when you see me we can throw them hands sucker
Stand up
If you didn't notice nigga, I don't give a fuck
If I said it then I meant it and what fuck nigga
Stand up
You don't want to see the triggerman bust
Hit you and your mans up, make it hard for niggas to
Stand up
Tell your crew they don't want it with us dude
And if them motherfuckers do, bust a motherfucking move
Stand up

[Verse 1: T.I.]
You got a gator mouth and a hummingbird ass
Your mouth writing checks that your ass can't cash
145 and I'm out of your weight class
Want to survive, you better scramble like eggs and break fast
Cause I know how to handle your fake ass
I'm a ride on you and hide you in yesterday's trash
Pull up in the Chevy's spraying rounds through the glass
See you laying face down in the grass and I'll laugh
Ha, cause that's the end of the saga
The end of my problems, nigga mash the Impala
Go lay up with a model and watch the news tomorrow
And that's the end checkmate, game over, I'll holler
Pimp, telling you partner, you don't know what you're doing
Or recognize the trouble you getting in to and you're ruin
And dig this man
I spent my childhood in a wild hood
And all that gangster shit you talking, yeah, it sound good
But make it understood
You gone have to show me, I'm a O.G.
You want to overthrow me

[Chorus]

[Verse 2: Trick Daddy]
Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today
To marry this young nigga in his own special thug way
Do you promise to love and respect all of the real niggas
And when a problem come, learn to deal with 'em
Do you swear to turn this chopper
On any motherfucker in your path, or the bitch that's trying to stop ya
Or do you promise to keep him handy
And don't hand him to nobody, nobody except family
And keep him cocked and loaded and don't expose him to no body
Unless somebody, who want him in his body
To love and cherish and from this trigger to a barrel
From the bottom of your heart
'til death do you fuckin' part
Do you understand to live, to lie by him
Is to share your soul, Lord knows, you gone die by him
I know you heard gun stories about John Wayne and Billy the Kid
Shit, all them motherfuckers dead
And did you know that every other bitch from the Wild, Wild West
End up dying from hollow points to they fuckin' chest
Cause I ain't never seen a cock beamer meant for a team of tummy guns
With a hundred round fuckin' drum

[Chorus]

[Verse 3: Lil' Wayne]
Shit, I'm talking about riding out tonight
Only way I die first, got to kill me in this verse
Weezy F middle finger to life
So nothing seem critical in the hood I'm typical
Yet I'm feeling good and spiritual
Healing hoods with this shit up out my kitchen
I'm pitching that it's really good
Smoking, drinking, I'm like a fish
And I'll probably shit on ya bitch
Probably piss on her lips and she probably give you a kiss
Nasty, Holly Grove classic
Polly wood a nigga probably robbed the same bastard
Ask him
We don't give a fuck about a casket
Nigga this the murder campy
Niggas is murder happy
12 years old, I jumped off the pot
I started selling rock right after I got shot
I had to hold my weight down
Pussy nigga stand up or lay down





[Chorus]

Warn your gang that they don't want to mess with us

You got a gator mouth and a hummingbird ass

145 and I'm out of your weight class

If you want to live, you better act quickly


Cause I know how to handle your fake ass
I know how to deal with someone who is not authentic

I will punish you and make you disappear


Pull up in the Chevy's spraying rounds through the glass
I will use a gun to shoot at you through the car window


See you laying face down in the grass and I'll laugh
I will find joy in seeing you defeated


Ha, cause that's the end of the saga
This is the end of our conflict


The end of my problems, nigga mash the Impala
This is the end of my worries; accelerate in your car and leave


Go lay up with a model and watch the news tomorrow
Relax with a beautiful woman and forget this ever happened


And that's the end checkmate, game over, I'll holler
This is the end, and I'll say goodbye


Pimp, telling you partner, you don't know what you're doing
I'm warning you that you're clueless


Or recognize the trouble you getting in to and you're ruin
Or acknowledge the problems you're creating and get ruined by it


And dig this man
Listen to me


I spent my childhood in a wild hood
I grew up in a dangerous neighborhood


And all that gangster shit you talking, yeah, it sound good
You talk a good game, but you don't know what you're saying


But make it understood
But, let me make this clear


You gone have to show me, I'm a O.G.
You need to prove to me that you're tough, I'm an original gangster


You want to overthrow me
You want to challenge my authority


Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today
Let's start this ceremony


To marry this young nigga in his own special thug way
To celebrate the marriage of this young gangster


Do you promise to love and respect all of the real niggas
Will you pledge to honor and respect all true gangsters


And when a problem come, learn to deal with 'em
And when problems arise, handle them appropriately


Do you swear to turn this chopper
Will you vow to use this gun


On any motherfucker in your path, or the bitch that's trying to stop ya
And shoot anyone who stands in your way or tries to impede your progress


Or do you promise to keep him handy
Or will you keep it close by


And don't hand him to nobody, nobody except family
And only give it to family members


And keep him cocked and loaded and don't expose him to no body
And keep it ready to fire and away from others


Unless somebody, who want him in his body
Unless someone wants to be shot


To love and cherish and from this trigger to a barrel
To form a bond with this gun and use it to shoot others


From the bottom of your heart
With all your heart


'til death do you fuckin' part
Until you die


Do you understand to live, to lie by him
Do you understand that to live a life of crime, you must stick with it


Is to share your soul, Lord knows, you gone die by him
Is to share your soul, and most likely, you'll be killed by it


I know you heard gun stories about John Wayne and Billy the Kid
You probably heard tales about famous gunmen from the past


Shit, all them motherfuckers dead
But they're all dead now


And did you know that every other bitch from the Wild, Wild West
Do you know that every other person in the Wild, Wild West


End up dying from hollow points to they fuckin' chest
Dies from getting shot in the chest with hollow point bullets


Cause I ain't never seen a cock beamer meant for a team of tummy guns
I've never seen a machine gun designed for people's stomachs


With a hundred round fuckin' drum
With a hundred shots ready to fire


Shit, I'm talking about riding out tonight
I'm talking about leaving right now


Only way I die first, got to kill me in this verse
I won't die unless someone kills me while I write this song


Weezy F middle finger to life
I'm angry at life and flipping it off


So nothing seem critical in the hood I'm typical
I'm used to dangerous situations and nothing seems out of the ordinary


Yet I'm feeling good and spiritual
But I'm still feeling good and connected to a higher power


Healing hoods with this shit up out my kitchen
I'm healing the neighborhoods with this music I make


I'm pitching that it's really good
I'm telling people that my music is great


Smoking, drinking, I'm like a fish
I smoke and drink a lot, I'm always doing it


And I'll probably shit on ya bitch
And I might ruin your relationship with your girlfriend


Probably piss on her lips and she probably give you a kiss
I might disrespect her and she might still be nice to you


Nasty, Holly Grove classic
I'm disgusting, a classic from where I grew up


Polly wood a nigga probably robbed the same bastard
In my neighborhood, I probably robbed the same person as someone else


Ask him
You can ask him about it


We don't give a fuck about a casket
We don't care about dying


Nigga this the murder campy
This is where people get killed


Niggas is murder happy
People here enjoy killing others


12 years old, I jumped off the pot
I started selling drugs at 12 years old


I started selling rock right after I got shot
I started selling drugs to make money after getting shot


I had to hold my weight down
I had to prove my worth and stay strong


Pussy nigga stand up or lay down
Either fight me or submit, don't be scared
