Ante Up
Mop Featuring Funkmaster Lyrics

Take minks off! Take things off!
Remove all luxury garments and possessions.

Take chains off! Take rings off!
Remove all jewelry and accessories.

Bracelets is yapped, Fame came off!
Jewelry has been taken and one's reputation is at risk.

(Ante Up!) Everything off!
The stakes are high and one must put everything on the line.

Fool what you want? We stifling fools
What is it that the opposition desires? They will be silenced.

Fool what you want? Your life or your jewels?
The choice is yours: either your life or your possessions.

The rules, (back 'em down) next thing, (clap 'em down)
The order is to intimidate and then use violence if necessary.

Respect mine we Brooklyn bound, (bound!) now, (now!)
Obey, for we are from Brooklyn and our power is imminent.

Brownsville, home of the brave
Brownsville is a place of courage and tenacity.

Put in work in the street like a slave
We work hard in the streets, with little reward or acknowledgement.

Keep a rugged dress code, always in this stress mode
Our appearance is tough, and we are constantly in a state of anxiety.

(That shit will send you to your grave) So?
This lifestyle may lead to an early death, but we are undeterred.

You think I don't know that?
I am fully aware of the risks involved.

Nigga hold that! Nigga hold that! Nigga hold that!
Endure the pain and hold onto what is important.

From the street cousin, you know the drill
As a fellow street-savvy individual, you understand the protocol.

I'm nine hundred and ninety-nine thou short of a mill
I am not yet a millionaire, but I am close.

Ante Up! Yap that fool!
Up the stakes and silence the opposition.

Ante Up! Kidnap that fool!
Put everything on the line and take the opponent by force.

It's the perfect timing, you see the man shining
The opportunity is ideal, the man is displaying his wealth.

Get up of them god damn diamonds! Huh!
Take possession of the diamonds and removed them from the person.

Get him (get him) get him! Hit him (hit him) hit him!
Pursue and attack the opponent relentlessly.

Yap him! (Zap him!) Yap him! (Zap him!)
Silence the opponent and exert your power over them.

Them thugs you know, ain't friendly
Those criminal individuals are not kind or compassionate.

Them jewels you rock, make 'em envy
Your jewels are impressive and cause others to feel envious.

You thinking it's all good, you creep through a small hood
You believe everything is fine, but you are traveling through a dangerous area.

Goons coming up outta the cut for your goods and they all should
Criminals are emerging from hiding and intend to rob you for what you possess.

You want big money, kidnap that fool
To gain a large sum of money, take the opponent by force.

If you up in the club, I've got your pistal, money
If you are present in the club, I have your gun and money.

Catch them fools at the bar for that Cristal money
Obtain the money that individuals spend on Cristal at the bar.

The '87 stick up kids, (what you niggas saying?)
The dangerous criminals who emerged in the 1980s are present, and what is their intent?

Get the fuck up out that 740 shorty I ain't playing
Exit that car immediately, I am not joking.

It's flash that thang time, (bang!) bang time
It is time to brandish your weapon and potentially use it.

(Ante Up!) Nigga, it's game time
The stakes have been raised, and it is time to act.

Hand over the ring, take over the chain
Give me the ring and take my chain instead.

Gimme the fucking watch before I pop one in your brain
Give me your watch or face the consequences.

Stop playing these childish games with me
Stop being foolish and take me seriously.

Representing 1-7-1-8, dangerously, nigga
We represent 1718 and are formidable, be warned.

I'm a street regulator, true playa hater
I maintain street order and dislike players and their games.

Get back down make yo' ass a Mac sprayer hater
Back off, or I will shoot and make you an enemy of the Macintosh.

Things that we need, money, clothes, weed indeed
We require money, clothing, and marijuana.

Hats, food, booze, essentials, credentials
We also need hats, food, alcohol, and proof of our importance.

Code of the streets, owners who creep
We live by a certain code and are vigilant.

Slow when you sleep, holding the heat
Be cautious when you are resting, and always have a weapon.

Put holes in your jeep, respect the streets
We will shoot your vehicle and send a message to respect the streets.

It's the L-I L-F A-M (M!) E (E!)
It is our fame, the world should know of the L-I-L-F-A-M-E.

Yeah, nigga Danze, gave you a chance
My friend Danze allowed you to live, but you have not taken that chance.

Cause I blazed your man, I'm in the wrong
I shot your associate, and for that, I am in the wrong.

He said he was strong
He claimed to be capable and powerful.

I had reason to believe he had some shit up his sleeve all along
I suspected he had ulterior motives and was not trustworthy.

(So?) Fuck you Your Honor! Check my persona
I do not care for your judgement and request that you assess my character.

I'm strong enough for Old Gold and marijuana
I have a high tolerance for cigarettes and marijuana.

I'ma do what I wanna, quiet as kept
I will do what I wish, although I may not state it publicly.

(Raise hell!) Till I was tired of stress, yes lord
I will cause chaos until I am drained of anxiety and fed up.
