U Looz
PRhyme Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

"Let's take 'em back"

Yeah '94 Shit

Uh, as the preacher takes the pulpit
Fix your coat, prepare for 40 below spit
Seven days of Heaven's ways and Hell's hangups
Chris and Ryan again and we wishing anybody
Who wasn't wishing us well bankrupt
A L and whatever else ain't up
As far as me I'm still caught up in all that gun shit
Still calling my bullets expendables 'cause it's hard to believe
I can fit all of them boys in one clip
I squeeze off and the streets start trembling
It's way too many niggas that seen shit, too many witnesses
Up and down with their visions of what a street nigga is
I call it the See-Saw Syndrome
Syndrome maybe you make a mistake, you lose
And this is for the real hip-hop niggas
Who will never ever ever ask me am I here to replace Guru

Word, that's what you feel up in this track?
Let a bitch nigga try to shit on that (oh what you trying to rap now?)

Yeah, yo Royce (what up, man)
We just lamping in the studio you know, doing our thing (Okay)
Bugging out, you know (Right)
A little test run, so
So, I need you to speak with your hands
On the count of three
Everybody now
1, 2, 3 go

"Talk to 'em"
"We step up in this rap game and seen act a fool"
"Me and Preem, both names go together"




"Lot of niggas fronting like they're ill" Word
I think it's time to move on to the next one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "U Looz" by PRhyme captures the spirit of conscious rap from the nineties. The intro sets the tone with a reference to the golden era, the year 1994. The verse starts with a preacher taking the pulpit, indicating the need for guidance and direction in the current state of affairs. Royce da 5'9" then delivers a series of introspective lines, reflecting on his experiences as a street rapper. He speaks about how he wishes to succeed and become wealthy, but he also acknowledges his past mistakes and the negative consequences of gun violence.


The lines "I squeeze off and the streets start trembling, too many witnesses" are particularly powerful. They paint a picture of the chaotic aftermath of violent crime, with the community left to deal with the consequences. The See-Saw Syndrome refers to the fluctuation of status and power in the street game. One day you're up, and the next day you're down, and Royce acknowledges this as a reality of life. He also pays respect to Guru, the legendary rapper from Gang Starr, by stating that he will never try to replace him.


Overall, "U Looz" is a reflection on the ups and downs of life as a rapper and the struggle to stay true to oneself in the face of adversity.
