Ante Up
M.O.P. feat.Busta Rhymes Lyrics

Where did all mutherfuckers go?
Attention please, attention please. It feels like something huge just happened and everyone disappeared. Where did everyone go?

This shit here feels like a whole entire world collapsed
The situation is catastrophic, it feels like an entire world just crumbled down

Motherfucker! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Expressing aggravation, anger, and frustration

Blunt(blunt) blunt (blunt) blunt (blunt) blunt (blunt) blunt
We're smoking weed, and we're blowing blunt after blunt after blunt

Busta Rhymes now, M.O.P. Now
The rappers identify themselves, reaching out to the audience

What you want now? (What you want now?) (What you want want want want want want blunt blunt)
Asking what the audience wants from them, possibly suggesting that they want more weed to smoke

Ante up! No, cut that fool
Ante up means to raise the stakes, in this case, they want their enemies to give them their valuables, threatening to harm them if they don't comply

They want to act stupid gun-butt that fool
If someone is acting stupid or foolish, they might get attacked with a gun butt

When I cock that tool, nigga run your damn jewels'
If someone points a gun at you, it's best to give them your jewelry and valuables before you end up injured or dead

'Fore we fuck around and lay you up in your own blood pool, nigga
Threatening bodily harm or death if someone doesn't comply with their demands

My niggas think lopsided, bust, they got cross-sided
Their crew is always ready to attack, even from different directions or angles - basically, they're unstoppable

In the subways they rob trains runnin' along-side it
They're bold and will commit theft even in public places, and they're not afraid to take on a moving train

You little costume niggas, romper-room niggas
Dissing their enemies, saying they're childish and weak

We takin' your whole shit while we pass through
They're going to rob and take everything they want while they're around

Even the shirt off your back, nigga run that too (yeah, yeah, yeah)
They want everything of value their enemies possess, including their clothes

I catch you backstage, give me the keys to the Escalade
They won't hesitate to rob you wherever you are, even if it's backstage at a concert

You think you cute hoe? Take off them Gucci shades
Threatening to harm someone if they don't comply with their demands to give over their valuables

I take your show money (ohh) take your 'dro money (ohh)
They'll take every last dime that you have, including your income from shows and money you've earned from narcotics

Yo yap that fool, 'cause I don't know money
They're urging their crew to make sure they get their hands on their enemies' money and valuables, as they may not know how to make any money otherwise

For my peeps that hate slow money, I put them in the industry So they can come and take all your money
They're creating opportunities for their friends to profit and take what they want from others

Wish I could bring pun back (Blaow!) bitch, run that!
The rapper wishes to resurrect his old friend, Pablo, Aka Big Punisher, but in the meantime, he's going to keep robbing people and taking what he wants

So keep actin' like you don't know where the funds at And I'ma show y'all motherfuckers where the guns at
If their enemies continue to act like they don't know where the valuables are, the rappers will show them their powerful weapons and use them to get what they want

Ante up! Yo, yap that bitch
They're raising the stakes again, threatening to harm someone if they don't get their money and valuables

She try to spaz out, then smack that bitch
If someone resists, they will use violence to get what they want

Hoe you don't be rhymin', you still memorizin' Remi want them goddamn diamonds (huh)
They're making fun of someone who isn't talented and is still trying to rap, saying that they want their diamonds and other valuables

It's the perfect timin', you see the man shinin' Get up off them go damn diamonds (huh!)
They're saying it's the right time to take someone's jewelry and other valuable items while the person is showing them off

Get him (get him) get him, hit him (hit him) hit him Yap him (zap him) yap him (zap him)
Giving directives to attack and harm someone to get their valuable items

Fuck hip-hop, rip pockets, snatch jewels Ante up
They're disregarding the rap game and going straight for where the money is - by robbing people

My whole family nuts Run up yo' stash house, tie granny up
They're announcing that their entire family is crazy and they will rob you, even tying up an elderly woman

Make you strip butt-naked Young buck got struck with the gun butt (for what?) For tryin' to tuck the necklace
They're making someone get completely undressed, then attacking someone else for trying to hide a necklace

I'm young hungry armed and reckless On the streets with a death wish
They're admitting that they're young, inexperienced but have a thirst for danger

Show no mercy, B.K., nigga, thirsty thirsty We bang hollows, you misrepresentin' The game motherfucker you lame and your chain hollow
They're warning their enemies that they will show no remorse and will shoot if they think someone is misrepresenting their crew

Hit him (hit him) hit him, flash the tech Yap your chain, smash the lens in your specs
Giving directives on how to attack their enemies - hitting, flashing a gun, breaking glasses and taking people's jewelry

Listen it's, lil' fame right? With that Brownsville mentality to Shanghai
The rapper is introducing himself as having the toughness of someone from Brownsville, Brooklyn and using it to take control like someone from Shanghai

Hey yo I'm firin' out a coppertop city, with a whole empire A clip full of blue-tips and a hand full of fire Eat deep dirt nigga (yep) It's berk' I put in work until it hurt nigga (step)
Describing their weaponry and forcefulness in taking what they want

Easy out the truck punk, 'fore I leave your ass leakin' I'ma bang 'til the springs in this thang start squeakin' Die cocksucker, boom bap boom bap
Giving a warning to someone that they will shoot him before he can get away

Get up off them god damn diamonds (huh!)
Again, they're demanding that people give them their valuables

Hahahahaha What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck, nigga What the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck, what the fuck What the fuck, what the fuck, huh? Uh Mutherfucker Yeah
Sounds of laughter and expletives to end the song
