Batter Up ft. Murphy Lee & Ali
Nelly Lyrics

I say the fish don't fry in the kitchen
I mean to say that things don't always go as they seem, just because someone was unlucky once doesn't mean they will never be lucky again.

Beans don't burn on the grill (that's right)
Just because something is not expected to happen doesn't mean it won't happen. It is very much possible that beans can burn on the grill.

It took a whole lot of trying
I have experienced a lot of hardship and distress to get to my position of influence.

Just to get up that hill
The hill is a metaphorical representation of the struggles and hardships in life that I had to overcome to reach my position of privilege.

I said but now we're up in the big leagues
I am now at the top of my game or position of privilege after many years of hardship and difficulty.

My dirty it's our turn at bat
It's our time to shine and take advantage of this opportunity.

And just as long as we living, it's Lunatics player
As long as we are alive, we will continue to play to the best of our abilities.

It ain't nothing wrong with that, batter up
Let's go and give it our all, there's nothing wrong with taking a chance.

Fuck a dub, smoke an ounce, show me love
I would rather smoke an ounce of marijuana than receive a small amount of money.

Hit the club, me and T-Luv holla what
Let's go out to the club and have fun with my friend T-Luv.

She put her mack down, she throw a curve ball
The woman put on her best skills and impressed me with her seduction techniques.

She owed Milli smoked that herb and some Llly-bone
While smoking marijuana and opium, the woman got aroused and became less hesitant.

She tip-top 'em, Optimo
She was at the top of her game and had the best skills.

First base, God living like a worst race
People living in poverty tend to face harsh realities, similar to those of people in a bad race or ethnicity.

First chase, throw yo' people and yo' kind
In this position of power, we must look out for our own people and promote solidarity among our own kind.

Second lesson, smoke that herb and clear yo' mind
I believe that smoking cannabis can help clear your mind and help you focus on what's important.

It's about time, second base wisdom rhyme
With all of the experience and learning I have gained, it is time for me to move on to bigger and better things.

Sitting strong, skipped third base and headed home
I am moving on to bigger and better things after having completely dominated the second base of my career.

Third baseman just don't understand baby what the bong
Those other people just don't understand the benefits of marijuana like we do.

What the fuck wrong, with this world today
What on earth has happened to our world today? It's a mess!

With these girls today, diamonds and pearls the way
Many young women are consumed with material possessions like diamonds and pearls, which is concerning from a societal standpoint.

You wasn't fucking with me, leave, for the wrap that's in my seed
You didn't believe in me or support me, so you can leave and go back to your old ways while I use my talent to make something of myself.

Now you stays on yo knees cause we's be in the big league
Now that I am successful, you bow down and show respect for me because I have made it to the big leagues.

Well you should see me now, I'm eating Wheaties now
I'm doing so well now that I can afford to eat Wheaties, a popular and expensive breakfast cereal.

I'm stealing second and third and looking home peeping greedy now
I am advancing past my competitors and looking ahead to the next level with greedy eyes.

See me now, people call me speedy now
People recognize me for my speed and quickness.

Known for running the quickest miles
I am known for running the fastest and most efficient miles.

hit and run in any town, any ground
I am capable of winning anywhere, on any terrain or location.

Rules 'fore I hit it, split it, lick it and quit it
I have strict rules and boundaries before engaging in sexual activities with someone, and I refuse to let anyone control me or my actions.

Ain't no shame in my game, that normal shit ain't my thing
I have no shame in pursuing my own path in life, even if it goes against the norm.

If I think with my dick then put your mouth on my brain
If I am focused on sex then engage in some intellectual conversation with me.

I maintain through the atmosphere, what we got here
I am able to focus and maintain my success despite any external factors or turbulence.

A sucker in fear, hear the roars and the cheers
Those who don't believe in me are fearful, but hear the cheers from my supporters.

From the crowd when I take the mile, let me show 'em how
When I am onstage, show me your support and I will show you my skills and talent.

Hit the ball on the ground and make 'em get down
I hit the ball so well that it forces my competitors to fight to keep their standing.

Well this next young batter on deck
The next young performer is about to take the stage.

He's still in high school (yeah I heard that)
He's still young and growing, but he has a lot of potential.

(It's a great day though)
Despite any hardships, we should always look on the positive side of things and appreciate the good days.

(I think his name's umm, who knows, Murphey Lee or something)
I'm not entirely sure what his name is, but it shouldn't matter because he is talented and has something to offer.

I want my name not, not said but screamed
I want to be known and achieve so much that people are shouting my name from the rooftops.

I went from fantasies to dreams, dreams to bigger things
I dreamed of achieving something great, and now that I have achieved it, my dreams are bigger and more ambitious than ever before.

I'm like Bennett I been in it since, ninety-three
Like Tony Bennett, I have been in the industry and performing since the early 1990s.

You can tell cause my L angle 90 degrees
You can tell that I am serious about my craft and industry because of the effort and thought I put into my work.

I'ma sixteen year-old school boy, platinum skills
I may be young, but I have platinum-level talent and skills.

Swear to tell the real, the whole real to make a mill'
I swear to always tell the truth in order to make a successful career and life for myself.

I lie little but still, talk straight up like motto
I try not to lie, but if I do, I still speak in a straightforward manner.

I could tell you something now, you think twice about it tomorrow
My words and actions have the power to influence and change people's perspectives, even in the future.

I promise, I gets deeper than file cabinets when rapping
I promise to go deep and meaningful in my lyrics, even more so than file cabinets that hold important literature.

Money, money, money, money what's happening
Money is important, but what is its significance? What is happening?

I'm coming up like family members in basements, and I stay bent
I have come up from being in the basement like my family members, and I remain under the influence of drugs.

Make a milli to play with, buy a building you can pay me
Once I make a million dollars, I can invest it in myself and make it grow even more.

And the 'tic is who I came with
The Lunatics are my crew and the ones who helped me achieve my success.

You know how we do, we do, we do, we do, we do
We are doing well and having fun with our success.
