Pastor Troy & The Congregation Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My bitches (get 'em up)
It's pete baby
You best of recognize
Grab my gold teeth baby
One of the good guys
Say she's a freak baby
You wanna freak
I wanna freak
Then we can freak then
Living this life of sin
Drinking bout everyday
Smoking bout everyday, in that gray escalade
I hit my nigga dre'
Dre' what's the word dawg
I got bout twenty-three ways let's go ball dawg
Help me burn down dis log
This dro' to much for me
It's getting hard to see
But they can't stop a g'
Living delicately
And I'm going put 'em up
And I'm going put 'em up
And I'm going keep 'em up
My niggas (get 'em up)
My bitches (get 'em up)
Sometimes I feel like I'm going die
That's why I keep a tone
Cause ain't no telling when I might have to prove a nigga wrong
Some nigga ackin like he bad
Now he long gone
I'ma be the one in back laughing and giggling in the funeral home
Cause I just got out the institution cause I'm crazy jone
And a nigga think I'm bullshitting with them masses on
Come on, come on everybody come on
Nigga we ready
So whatever you wanna get on
Breaking niggas off the top what I spit on
Fucking niggas up with the shit they better get on
Boy you don't wanna make me have to pull a get gone
I'ma get to bucking with my muthafucking tone
Leave ya folks crying they gone hate you gone
[?] with the a cappella tone
From memphis to atlanta getting bust in domes
Stick with the niggas in bulletproof it's on
Then shout with the chrome glock to the knock
Another muthafucker test me I think not
My niggas (get 'em up)
My bitches (get 'em up)
See I ride with the chrome
Out of town finna clown
Keep ya phone on wrong
Sideways in the whip
Every time when I dip through the hood it's on
Everything after making the green
I kind of hate when ya hate mine
Irritated when ya waited for the online
Never hard to find
When we all gone shine
When we all gone shine
Get ya cheese on
My niggas gotta hustle for that, juggle for that
But you better stay strapped with the gat
Everytime when the hugger make contact
Real niggas got push 'em all back
In the mist of dust
Like my guns when we come
This ain't no test execution my son
Nightmares after twelve
They catching hell
Millionaires
So we don't care
Cause all my niggas posting bail, uh
Sometimes I feel like a nut
Sometimes I don't
Thinking that I won't get 'em left on the scene
Like no what I mean
Nigga no what I mean
My niggas (get 'em up)
My bitches (get 'em up)
The lyrics of Get Em Up by Pastor Troy & The Congregation seem to be a call for action to their fellow men and women. The first verse is rapped by Pastor Troy himself, making reference to an extravagant lifestyle of sin that includes smoking and drinking every day. The rapper seems to be fearless and resilient, stating that nothing can stop him, and he's ready to put his fists up at any time. The chorus brings in a crowd mentality to the song, urging everyone to get up, whether they are niggas or bitches. Pastor Troy's verse goes on to explain that he keeps a gun with him because he never knows what he might encounter, and he's not afraid of taking on anyone who stands in his way, even if it means going to jail.
The second verse, rapped by Meathead, takes an even more violent turn. Meathead introduces himself as a crazy man who recently got out of an institution. He portrays himself as someone who has nothing to lose, and he's willing to do whatever it takes to prove himself. He goes on to suggest that he's not afraid to kill, and he flips between having a good time to planning to take someone out. The third and final verse is not performed by a credited rapper, and the lyrics are somewhat difficult to decipher. It seems to be a continuation of the previous two verses, with the singer bragging about his ability to handle any situation that comes his way.

[?] with the a cappella tone
Singing or rapping without musical accompaniment
From memphis to atlanta getting bust in domes
I commit violent acts with a gun in many locations
Stick with the niggas in bulletproof it's on
Stay with people who wear bulletproof vests, it's dangerous outside
Then shout with the chrome glock to the knock
Shooting with my gun that has a chrome exterior
Another muthafucker test me I think not
I will not tolerate anyone who challenges me
See I ride with the chrome
I carry a gun with a shiny exterior
Out of town finna clown
I will cause trouble or be wild and unpredictable in other cities
Keep ya phone on wrong
Turn your phone off, it's about to get dangerous
Sideways in the whip
Driving with the car tilted or at an angle
Every time when I dip through the hood it's on
Whenever I go through the neighborhood, people know there will be trouble
Everything after making the green
After making money, anything goes
I kind of hate when ya hate mine
I dislike when people are jealous of my success
Irritated when ya waited for the online
I am annoyed when people try to provoke me online
Never hard to find
I am always easy to locate
When we all gone shine
When we all achieve success and wealth
Get ya cheese on
Make money and be successful
My niggas gotta hustle for that, juggle for that
My friends have to work hard and be resourceful to make money
But you better stay strapped with the gat
But it's important to carry a gun
Everytime when the hugger make contact
Whenever someone touches me, I am ready to use my gun
Real niggas got push 'em all back
Real men will push anyone who opposes them back
In the mist of dust
In the middle of chaos and danger
Like my guns when we come
Like my guns, we are strong and deadly
This ain't no test execution my son
This is not a game, it is real and dangerous
Nightmares after twelve
I have bad dreams after midnight
They catching hell
They are experiencing difficulties and struggles
Millionaires
We have a lot of money
So we don't care
We are not worried or concerned
Cause all my niggas posting bail, uh
All my friends have been in jail before and have paid bail to get out
Sometimes I feel like a nut
Sometimes I feel crazy or unstable
Sometimes I don't
Other times, I feel normal or stable
Thinking that I won't get 'em left on the scene
Believing that I will not be caught or killed
Like no what I mean
Do you understand what I am saying?
