Loso
Ladies and Gentleman
You know they made cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You want a problem,
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Wait a minute
Big blue, hot and skinny shoot
Cotton candy coupe
Hard knock, orphan Annie loop
Off the stoop ugh
Play with me, see what the screamy do
My canary shoe,
High beems pointed right at you, peek-a-boo
Benji paper made me hater-proof
All your family dues
Menage a trois, purple haze and goose, got me loose
Kick my way in and now I got the juice, Gucci bubble boots
Thousand kicks couple hundred boots gettin' fuckin' loot
My top down, I'm flashing on 'em
I'm passing all them, pullover and hit the hazards on 'em
The ratchet on him, pay my dues, now it's back to ballin'
The raps a boring dead man, I dip the casket for 'em
I'm back performing, I bag 'em
Break their back, don't call 'em
Look down on em like Dikembe, Patrick, Mourning
Cash is pourin'
Stunt stormin, go this bitches out
Camera phones capture everything that pictures don't
You know they mad cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You ain't never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You want a problem,
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)

Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
wait a minute
We keep these G's in an alloy safe
And stash the weed in an Altoids case
They say good things come to those who wait
So I'ma be at least about an hour late
I'm so fresh bitch I should be arrested
New Tody Chester with my nuts on your chest bitch
She said "hey 'Ye"
I said "Yes Bitch"
Damn I'm only asking you a question
I met this milf at the all star getting action
A cougar with more rings than Phil Jackson
Told her beauty is why God invented eyeballs
And her booty is why God invented my balls
I'm a rock star, huh, start it up
Start it up, huh, start it up
So popular you should get a shot of us
Niggas don't take shots at us that is only obvious
The first album I vomited, the second I colonic'd it
Ain't nobody fucking with me, I plutonic'd it
Bet I got some slippers on, bet niggas gon' honor it
These ain't even real clothes homie I'm pyjama rich
Banks told me homie go switch the style up
These bitches on me homie only to arouse us
Told her I ain't paying tonight I'm only browsing
She pulled her blouse up, said "it's free", I said wowzers!
You know they mad cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You ain't never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You want a problem,
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)

Lets get it started,

Ladies and gentleman
Plenty hate, they be taking shots, never penetrate
Money generated, if we ain't in the house, renovate!
Tryna eat, we ain't finna wait
Where's da dinner plates?
B.M.W., ten to 8, interstate 95, passenger
Baddest bitch in the States, half Spanish half Trinidad
Complexion Henny straight
Y'all ain't got your business straight, track star, finna state
Time is money and I can't afford to be a minute late
It's time to make a movie let the haters watch
Diamonds spinning round the bezel that's tornado watch
My independent chick, I like my ladies Koch
She got an appetite for dick, I guess her plates my crotch
That soft as tater top, lil' nigga try me not
Under the wing, fried rice at the Chinese spot
I hear 'em talking it but ain't really living it
Opinions are like assholes so who gives a shit
You know they mad cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You ain't never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You want a problem,
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up
You know they mad cause cause cause I'm hood rich
You ain't never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You want a problem,
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Wait a minute
(Wait a minute)

The song "Start It Up" by Lloyd Banks featuring Fabolous, Kanye West, Swizz Beatz, and Ryan Leslie is a boastful anthem about their wealth, success, and women. The opening line, "What you gon' do, it's Good Music and G-Unit" signifies the collaboration of two music labels. The line "you know they mad cause cause cause I'm hood rich, you never ever seen a nigga good trick" implies that they have made it to the top, despite their humble beginnings. They talk about their expensive cars, jewelry, and clothes, and how they can afford anything they want, even "cotton candy coupes" and "canary shoes". They also talk about their sexual escapades, mentioning "menage a trois", "purple haze and goose", "ninja Kawasaki", and "rock the party, move your body".
The chorus of "Start it up" repeated several times throughout the song, suggests that they are unstoppable, and if someone wants to challenge them, they should start it up. The lyrics are a combination of braggadocio and clever wordplay, such as "cash is pouring, stunt storming, go this bitches out, camera phones capture everything that pictures don't."
Overall, the song is a display of wealth, fame, and ego with the rappers boasting about their success and challenging anyone who wants to take them on.

Ladies and Gentleman
Greetings, everyone
You know they made cause cause cause I'm hood rich
People envy my wealth because I made it all myself by coming from the streets
You never ever ever seen a nigga good trick
You've never seen anyone do something as impressive as me
You want a problem,
Are you looking for trouble?
Start it up (vroom vroom)
Let's begin, like the sound of a car starting up
Wait a minute
Hold on a second
Big blue, hot and skinny shoot
I have a powerful, blue gun
Cotton candy coupe
My car is a light pink color like cotton candy
Hard knock, orphan Annie loop
I had a tough upbringing like the character in the musical Annie
Off the stoop ugh
I came from the streets and my experiences shaped who I am today
Play with me, see what the screamy do
Don't mess with me or you'll regret it
My canary shoe,
My shoes are a bright yellow color like a canary
High beems pointed right at you, peek-a-boo
The headlights of my car are shining in your face like a game of peek-a-boo
Benji paper made me hater-proof
Money has made me immune to those who wish me harm
All your family dues
You owe me for everything your family ever did to me
Menage a trois, purple haze and goose, got me loose
I had a wild night with two women, smoking marijuana and drinking Grey Goose
Kick my way in and now I got the juice, Gucci bubble boots
I worked hard to achieve success and now I enjoy the fruits of my labor, even down to designer boots
Thousand kicks couple hundred boots gettin' fuckin' loot
I've made a lot of money and can afford to buy whatever shoes I want
My top down, I'm flashing on 'em
I'm driving with the roof of my car down and showing off my fancy lifestyle
I'm passing all them, pullover and hit the hazards on 'em
I'm overtaking everyone on the road and causing them to pull over by flashing my car's hazard lights
The ratchet on him, pay my dues, now it's back to ballin'
I used to carry a weapon for protection, but now I'm back to enjoying my wealthy lifestyle
The raps a boring dead man, I dip the casket for 'em
My music used to be dull, but I've reinvented myself and am now more exciting
I'm back performing, I bag 'em
I'm back in the spotlight and attracting fans
Break their back, don't call 'em
I'm so talented that I don't even need to pay attention to my haters
Look down on em like Dikembe, Patrick, Mourning
I'm so successful that I can look down on my haters like three famous basketball players who are known for blocking shots
Cash is pourin'
I have so much money, it's flooding in
Stunt stormin, go this bitches out
I'm showing off and attracting women
Camera phones capture everything that pictures don't
People take photos of me, but they can't capture everything that I truly am
We keep these G's in an alloy safe
We store our money in a secure safe made of a metal alloy
And stash the weed in an Altoids case
We hide our marijuana in a small container that looks like Altoids
They say good things come to those who wait
It's often said that good things come to those who are patient
So I'ma be at least about an hour late
I'm not in a hurry and will arrive late as a result
I'm so fresh bitch I should be arrested
I'm so stylish and fashionable that I should be arrested for it
New Tody Chester with my nuts on your chest bitch
I'm wearing a new jacket and making a suggestive statement
She said "hey 'Ye"
A woman says hello to Kanye West
I said "Yes Bitch"
Kanye West responds sarcastically
Damn I'm only asking you a question
Kanye West is correcting the woman he is speaking to for calling him 'damn'
I met this milf at the all star getting action
Kanye West met an attractive older woman at the NBA All-Star Game
A cougar with more rings than Phil Jackson
The woman had more championship rings (or jewelry in general) than the famous basketball coach Phil Jackson
Told her beauty is why God invented eyeballs
Kanye West told the woman she is beautiful and that God created eyes to appreciate beauty
And her booty is why God invented my balls
He then compliments her rear end in a vulgar way
I'm a rock star, huh, start it up
I'm a successful music artist, let's begin
So popular you should get a shot of us
We're so famous that you should take a picture of us
Niggas don't take shots at us that is only obvious
People know not to mess with us or they'll face the consequences
The first album I vomited, the second I colonic'd it
My first album was a mess, but I improved on my second album
Ain't nobody fucking with me, I plutonic'd it
No one can compete with me, I'm a force to be reckoned with
Bet I got some slippers on, bet niggas gon' honor it
I'm so confident in my fashion choices that I bet others will follow suit
These ain't even real clothes homie I'm pyjama rich
I'm wearing fancy pajamas, but they're expensive and luxurious enough to be considered fashionable clothes
Banks told me homie go switch the style up
Lloyd Banks encouraged me to change my style and try something new
These bitches on me homie only to arouse us
Women are only interested in us because of our wealth and status
Told her I ain't paying tonight I'm only browsing
I told a woman I'm not interested in spending money on her, just looking at what's available
She pulled her blouse up, said "it's free", I said wowzers!
The woman offered herself to me for free, and I was surprised
Ninja (Ninja)
A random word, possibly referring to a martial artist
Kawasaki (Kawasaki)
A type of motorcycle brand, could be a reference to his love for motorcycles
Ducati (Ducati)
Another type of motorcycle brand that he might also enjoy
my old Harley (old Harley)
A reference to his previous motorcycle
Rock the party (Rock the party)
We're going to have a fun time and get everyone excited
Move ya body (Move ya body)
Dance and let loose
Whats up, (whats up)
What's going on?
Everybody!
Everyone join in
Plenty hate, they be taking shots, never penetrate
People hate on us, but their attempts to bring us down never hurt us
Money generated, if we ain't in the house, renovate!
We make so much money that even if we're not home, we can afford to renovate our property
Tryna eat, we ain't finna wait
We're hungry and we don't want to wait for food
Where's da dinner plates?
Where are the plates for our meal?
B.M.W., ten to 8, interstate 95, passenger
We're driving on the highway in a BMW and it's 10 minutes to 8 PM
Baddest bitch in the States, half Spanish half Trinidad
The most attractive woman in America is of Spanish and Trinidadian descent
Complexion Henny straight
Her skin tone looks like the color of Hennessy alcohol
Y'all ain't got your business straight, track star, finna state
You don't have your life together, but I'm doing well and am going to continue succeeding
Time is money and I can't afford to be a minute late
My time is valuable and I can't afford to waste any of it by being late
It's time to make a movie let the haters watch
We're going to be successful and our haters will have to watch us thrive
Diamonds spinning round the bezel that's tornado watch
The diamonds on my watch are so shiny that they look like they're spinning like a tornado
My independent chick, I like my ladies Koch
I prefer independent women and appreciate them for who they are at their core
She got an appetite for dick, I guess her plates my crotch
She enjoys having sex and is attracted to me
That soft as tater top, lil' nigga try me not
I may wear comfortable clothing, but don't mistake me for someone who is easy to mess with
Under the wing, fried rice at the Chinese spot
I'm eating at a Chinese restaurant and have ordered fried rice as a side dish
I hear 'em talking it but ain't really living it
People talk about achieving success but they don't actually do what it takes to succeed themselves
Opinions are like assholes so who gives a shit
Everyone has an opinion, but that doesn't mean it's important or valuable in any way
Wait a minute
Hold on a second
