Ante Up
MOP feat. Busta Lyrics

Where did all mutherfuckers go?
Where did all the people go?

Attention please, attention please
Pay attention, I have something to say

This shit here feels like a whole entire world collapsed
This situation feels like a complete disaster

Motherfucker! Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Expression of frustration or excitement

Yeah, yeah, yeah (yeah) yeah
Expression of agreement or excitement

Yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah) yeah (yeah)
Expression of agreement or excitement

Blunt(blunt) blunt (blunt) blunt (blunt) blunt (blunt) blunt
Referring to smoking marijuana

Busta Rhymes now, M.O.P. Now
Introducing the artists performing the song

What you want now? (What you want now?) (What you want want want want want want blunt blunt)
Asking what the listener wants while suggesting smoking marijuana

Ante up! No, cut that fool
Taking action and demanding the listener contribute or leave

They want to act stupid gun-butt that fool
Dealing with people who act foolishly or disrespectfully

When I cock that tool, nigga run your damn jewels
Threatening to use a weapon and steal valuable items

'Fore we fuck around and lay you up in your own blood pool, nigga
Threatening to harm the listener and potentially kill them

Hunt you down nigga, run your ass down Unleash the hounds 'til them niggas'll gun your ass down (stop it)
Hunting and pursuing enemies with relentless force

You frontin' like this was a thing of the past With tattoos over the scars a nigga left on your ass
Accusing the listener of putting on a false image of strength and toughness

My niggas think lopsided, bust, they got cross-sided In the subways they rob trains runnin' along-side it
Describing the creativity and determination of their gang

(Blunt blunt) see motherfucker we don't play for that shit And if you want your shit back you had to pay for that shit
Reinforcing their seriousness and willingness to commit crimes for their own gain

You little costume niggas, romper-room niggas Get you in the night or early in the afternoon niggas
Mocking and threatening weaker opponents

We takin' your whole shit while we pass through Even the shirt off your back, nigga run that too (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Stealing everything valuable and desirable, leaving the victim with nothing

I catch you backstage, give me the keys to the Escalade You think you cute hoe? Take off them Gucci shades
Threatening to harm or rob someone who appears to be wealthy and bragging about their material possessions

I get my dogs to do you dirty, they all seven-thirty Rock a ski-mask, whether it's June or February
Using a gang of violent accomplices to commit crimes and remaining anonymous

I take your show money (ohh) take your 'dro money (ohh) Yo yap that fool, 'cause I don't know money
Robbing and potentially harming someone for their money and drugs

For my peeps that hate slow money, I put them in the industry So they can come and take all your money
Working in the music industry and using it as a vehicle for financial gain and theft

Wish I could bring pun back (Blaow!) bitch, run that!
Paying homage to deceased rapper Big Pun and demanding someone hand over their possessions

(Blaow!) bitch, run that! (Blaow!) bitch, run that So keep actin' like you don't know where the funds at And I'ma show y'all motherfuckers where the guns at
Demanding payment and threatening violence against those who do not comply

Ante up! Yo, yap that bitch She try to spaz out, then smack that bitch
Demanding and enforcing respect towards women

Hoe you don't be rhymin', you still memorizin' Remi want them goddamn diamonds (huh)
Taunting someone for their lack of musical talent and demanding their valuable possessions

It's the perfect timin', you see the man shinin' Get up off them go damn diamonds (huh!)
Seizing an opportune moment to steal valuable items and demanding compliance

Get him (get him) get him, hit him (hit him) hit him Yap him (zap him) yap him (zap him)
Working together with accomplices to attack and intimidate a victim

Fuck hip-hop, rip pockets, snatch jewels Ante up
Disregarding the music industry and instead focusing on committing crimes such as stealing money and jewelry

What? My whole family nuts Run up yo' stash house, tie granny up Make you strip butt-naked Young buck got struck with the gun butt (for what?) For tryin' to tuck the necklace
Describing violent and criminal actions towards a family and a young person caught stealing

I'm young hungry armed and reckless On the streets with a death wish
Portraying a dangerous and potentially suicidal lifestyle

Don't hide when you see me, I'm on the guestlist Ante up!
Demanding that people do not hide from the artist and comply with their demands

Show no mercy, B.K., nigga, thirsty thirsty We bang hollows, you misrepresentin' The game motherfucker you lame and your chain hollow
Describing how they are willing to use extreme and violent methods in order to assert their dominance and power

Hit him (hit him) hit him, flash the tech Yap your chain, smash the lens in your specs
Using violence and force to steal valuable items and intimidate the victim

Listen it's, lil' fame right? With that Brownsville mentality to Shanghai
Referencing the artist's background and claiming they are tough and fierce

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
Describing their use of weapons and power in a city to assert dominance and control

Eat deep dirt nigga (yep) It's berk' I put in work until it hurt nigga (step)
Bringing pain and destruction to their enemies and referring to their personal effort and hard work

Easy out the truck punk, 'fore I leave your ass leakin' I'ma bang 'til the springs in this thang start squeakin'
Demanding that someone exit their vehicle and threatening to harm them if they do not comply

Die cocksucker, boom bap boom bap Aight motherfucker, what's wrong with you?
Using violence and profanity to confront and intimidate someone

Get up off them god damn diamonds (huh!) Hahahahaha
Demanding that someone give up their valuable possessions and laughing at their attempted resistance

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
Expressing confusion, shock, and aggression towards an unknown person or situation
