Hands Up
Lloyd Banks feat. 50 Cent & FLER Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up
Hands up, shorty when you party with me
We goin' way past quarter to three
I said hands up, I'm good in the V.I.P.
I got my h***** right here with me
You gotta learn to respect the jooks
I said hands up, everything ain't cruise to fame
This s*** ain't sweet as it looks, I said hands up
You know I'm puttin' something on me
Right before I leave outta the car, we came to party
You go tough talkin' at me you
Gon' leave outta the club with a scar, we came to party
We pop bottles like it's all free
Fo' I leave I'ma buy out the bar, we came to party
You can order what you want it's on me
I'm a G take a look at star, we came to party
It feels so good to live sucker free
I'm soakin' it all up while your girl s***in' me
It mean the world to her, it's nothing but a n** to me
Look miss, get a grip and let a motherf***er be
I'm a rap star who wants to be ridin' around in that car
Two in the front and the back got the plasma
This ain't a free ride you gotta have the g** ma
I wouldn't buy a chick a pump that got asthma
And I'm busy so I move a bit faster
You can't tell me yes if I don't ask ya
I'm a b******
Damn near showin' his hand over the plastic
'Cause they wanna see your man go in the casket
Rule number one, keep your g** and get your a** hit, that's it
Lights off and your body's stiff
By the same n****s you used to party with
Hands up, shorty when you party with me
We goin' way past quarter to three
I said hands up, I'm good in the V.I.P.
I got my h***** right here with me
I said hands up, you know when you party with crooks
You gotta learn to respect the jooks
I said hands up, everything ain't cruise to fame
This s*** ain't sweet as it looks, I said hands up
You know I'm puttin' something on me
Right before I leave outta the car, we came to party
You go tough talkin' at me you
Gon' leave outta the club with a scar, we came to party
We pop bottles like it's all free
Fo' I leave I'ma buy out the bar, we came to party
You can order what you want it's on me
I'm a G take a look at star, we came to party
I cruise through the strip, 22's on the whip
New r*** gonna hit thousand dollar outfit
Never snooze never slip, follow rules or get whip
N**** move or get hit, I don't care who's on the strip
It ain't only the Ferrari now the jewels got him sick
Now it's 2006 I need a new bottom miss
It's aight they can talk I'm amused by them p*****
I'm the news out the bricks n**** who's hot as this
I bet the mansion and the swimming pool got 'em pissed
I ain't a cuddler I f*** the drool outta chick
My n****z ice grill, but it ain't the same
They don't see the faces, they just see the chains like
Ooh, when ya get 'em, they don't know you with me
They probably think the bouncers at the front door frisk me
This regular s***, the everyday mentality
They charged up, don't make me put in the battery
I said hands up, you know when you party with crooks
You gotta learn to respect the jooks
I said hands up, everything ain't cruise to fame
This s*** ain't sweet as it looks, I said hands up
You know I'm puttin' something on me
Right before I leave outta the car, we came to party
You go tough talkin' at me you
Gon' leave outta the club with a scar, we came to party
We pop bottles like it's all free
Fo' I leave I'ma buy out the bar, we came to party
You can order what you want it's on me
I'm a G take a look at star, we came to party
Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up
Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up
Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up
Put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up, put 'em up
The song "Hands Up" by Lloyd Banks ft 50 Cent is an upbeat party anthem that puts the focus on living life on your own terms. With repeated exhortations to "put 'em up," the song is all about having a good time and refusing to be held down by anyone or anything. The lyrics speak to a desire for freedom, for independence, for being the best possible version of oneself. In this world of crooks and thugs, the only way to survive is to embrace the power of the moment and to let go of all inhibitions. The V.I.P. lifestyle is alluring, but it comes with its own set of challenges, as the singer reminds us that "everything ain't cruise to fame."
In many ways, "Hands Up" is a celebration of the G-Unit brand and its iconic status within the world of hip-hop. The references to fancy cars, expensive outfits, and lavish parties are all part of the larger-than-life persona that 50 Cent has created for himself. This song is an affirmation of that persona, a statement of confidence and swagger that helps to reinforce the image of 50 Cent and his crew as the ultimate arbiters of cool. When the beat drops and the crowd starts shouting along, it's clear that this is a song designed to get everyone hyped up and ready to party.

The car has two seats in the front and plasma screens in the back

'Cause they wanna see your man go in the casket
People want to see me dead
Rule number one, keep your g** and get your a** hit, that's it
The first rule is to always carry a gun for protection
Lights off and your body's stiff
When the lights go off, people die
By the same n****s you used to party with
You could be killed by people you once partied with
I cruise through the strip, 22's on the whip
I drive through the city with 22-inch rims on my car
New r*** gonna hit thousand dollar outfit
My new song is going to make me a lot of money, I'll buy expensive clothes with it
Never snooze never slip, follow rules or get whip
Never let your guard down, follow the rules or be punished
N**** move or get hit, I don't care who's on the strip
Move out the way or get hit, I don't care who's around
It ain't only the Ferrari now the jewels got him sick
Not only my Ferrari, but my jewelry also makes people envious
Now it's 2006 I need a new bottom miss
It's 2006, I need a new woman in my life
It's aight they can talk I'm amused by them p*****
Let people talk, I find their jealousy amusing
I'm the news out the bricks n**** who's hot as this
I am the biggest name from my neighborhood, who's as big as me?
I bet the mansion and the swimming pool got 'em pissed
My mansion and swimming pool make people jealous and angry
I ain't a cuddler I f*** the drool outta chick
I'm not into cuddling, I'm all about sex with women
My n****z ice grill, but it ain't the same
My friends look tough, but they're not the same as me
They don't see the faces, they just see the chains like
People only see our jewelry, not our faces
Ooh, when ya get 'em, they don't know you with me
People don't realize you're with me until you're wearing our chains
They probably think the bouncers at the front door frisk me
People might assume I get frisked by bouncers when entering a club
This regular s***, the everyday mentality
This is just our normal life, the everyday attitude
They charged up, don't make me put in the battery
People are hyped up and excited, but don't make me take action against them
