Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never asked for a loan
I had them plays on my phone
I was the only one right, when most of these niggas was wrong
Never had shit but a whole lotta problems
Tryna get money, I just wanna solve em
Niggas be flaw but my diamonds so flawless
Out da mud, turn my dog to some mu'fuckin' bosses
I never asked for a loan
I had them plays on my phone
I was the only one right, when most of these niggas was wrong
Never had shit but a whole lotta problems
Tryna get money, I just wanna solve em
Niggas be flaw but my diamonds so flawless
Out da mud, turn my dog to some mu'fuckin' bosses
I ran it up on my own
I was so broke, man I couldn't get a loan
Trapped out the charger
Made plays on my phone
Shit wasn't right, I was doing it wrong
I was so broke, but I still had hope
Didn't have work, so I sold me some soap
Run up a bag and I want all the smoke
Blowin' on the gas that's gone make you choke
I keep the work in da trap for tha low
You tryna reup, just hit my phone
Trap on go, you know what the fuck goin' on
Ain't sign for the pack but it's already gone
These niggas cap, they be lyin' in they songs
Call em for work, but they swear that it's gone
Yeen ain't got no money, don't call my phone
I be thuggin' for real, not just rappin' on songs
I'm not pussy, I'on wear no thongs
Ask ya lil bitch, she'll tell you I'm throwed
Had her takin' trips wit them packs on the road
On the Greyhound, back and forth with the load
2500 I'ma charge for da 'bow
1800 If you want a lil snow
Can I work a deal? Oh you want it for da low?
I'ma fuck witcha, I ain't cappin' on you woe
I ran it up on my own
I never asked for a loan
I had them plays on my phone
I was the only one right, when most of these niggas was wrong
Never had shit but a whole lotta problems
Tryna get money, I just wanna solve em
Niggas be flaw but my diamonds so flawless
Out da mud, turn my dog to some mu'fuckin' bosses
I ran it up on my own
I never asked for a loan
I had them plays on my phone
I was the only one right, when most of these niggas was wrong
Never had shit but a whole lotta problems
Tryna get money, I just wanna solve em
Niggas be flaw but my diamonds so flawless
Out da mud, turn my dog to some mu'fuckin' bosses
EST '89, I'ma savage
Mama told me go way above average
Now I be dressing, plus a nigga got salad
All this designer like a nigga got a stylist
You cuffin' that thot, boy you know she got mileage
Lil homie on go, you never catch him lackin'
All in yo hood, like nigga Waz Hapnin?
N3ighborhood shit, like nigga whats craccin?
We like them sticks and we play with da mop
I shoot the drake but bae shoot da Glock
We always on go, we neva gone stop
Came from da bottom, now we on da top
You like to hate so we not the same
She bought me a pistol, but you got a game
Give me the money, yall keep the fame
I'm sick of these niggas, I'm tired of you lames
I ran it up on my own
I never asked for a loan
I had them plays on my phone
I was the only one right, when most of these niggas was wrong
Never had shit but a whole lotta problems
Tryna get money, I just wanna solve em
Niggas be flaw but my diamonds so flawless
Out da mud, turn my dog to some mu'fuckin' bosses

The lyrics to Partners-N-Crime's song Wind It Up are an expression of the rapper's pride in his own grind and success. He declares that he achieved his success without relying on anyone else's help or handouts, and that he has been right where others have been wrong. He boasts about his diamonds being perfectly flawless, which may be a metaphor for his own character and success. The verses speak to his early struggles to make money - he had to resort to selling soap to make ends meet - and his success as a trap artist. He has a no-nonsense attitude and doesn't tolerate people who don't have money, so he is not afraid to confront those who he feels are liars or fakers.
This song highlights the fact that rappers often use their music as a means of asserting independence and proving themselves as self-driven and self-reliant. It portrays the rapper as an embodiment of the American Dream, someone who rises from nothing to achieve success through hard work and determination. The lyrics also include street code motifs like 'trapping', 'making plays' and setting prices for drugs. Therefore, Wind It Up is not only just a song but also a reflection of the hip-hop culture, which glorifies the grind and success.

I ran it up on my own
I earned my wealth through my own hard work and didn't need to borrow money
I never asked for a loan
I didn't need to rely on others for financial support
I had them plays on my phone
I had successful business ventures and deals lined up through my phone
I was the only one right, when most of these niggas was wrong
I had better judgement and made smarter decisions than my peers
Never had shit but a whole lotta problems
I came from humble beginnings and faced a lot of difficulties
Tryna get money, I just wanna solve em
My motivation to make money is to solve my problems and improve my life
Niggas be flaw but my diamonds so flawless
Other people may have flaws, but my possessions and wealth are perfect
Out da mud, turn my dog to some mu'fuckin' bosses
I went from nothing to creating successful businesses and turning my friends into bosses as well
