Pick yourself up
Ain't nobody helping no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no
Pick yourself up, pick yourself up
Pick yourself up, pick yourself up
No broke ass nigga, pick yourself up, pick yourself up
No broke ass bitch, pick yourself up, pick yourself up

Income tax check, you blow that shit
Body foreign, they repo that shit
She leave your dick dry, that ain't your bitch
Your partners made it rain but you ain't Tip
Lame nigga, fame get ya nothing but cameras and lights
Money on the table you want friends in life
Swipe up, wipe down, all the fresh for sale
Ain't no handouts here, nigga, you can't tell
I'm I-N-D-E-P-E-N-D-E-N-T nigga, you can't spell
What you know 'bout me, I don't know 'bout free
Money fall like leaves, better climb that tree
Pick yourself up

Pick yourself up
Ain't nobody helping no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no
Pick yourself up, pick yourself up
Pick yourself up, pick yourself up
No broke ass nigga, pick yourself up, pick yourself up
No broke ass bitch, pick yourself up, pick yourself up

I was sitting on the curb by my grandma yard
Dopeboys drive by, I'm like that's my car
Fast forward, stack four, nigga that's my call
Push button, automatic, bitch I own that start
Dime back, I don't bend, I don't starve for mine
Will rap for a mil, coulda had that sign
Ride dirty, late night, coulda had that time
Way up piling, drop top, you can't have this shine
Aw man, cold game, if these walls could talk
They say "Stack that shit, nigga get that vault"
Young and safe fucked up, that shit ain't my fault
Nigga pay them dues, nigga pay that cost
Pick yourself up

Pick yourself up
Ain't nobody helping no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no
Pick yourself up, pick yourself up
Pick yourself up, pick yourself up
No broke ass nigga, pick yourself up, pick yourself up
No broke ass bitch, pick yourself up, pick yourself up

Weave right, edges right, but your bills ain't paid
Sugar daddy fly you out but you still can't stay
Overnight, Gucci bag, you back on that plane
He married, you mad that you got played
Think you run run game, he ain't called you since
Homegirl's got change, but you call them lame
'Cause they got that foreign, they buy all they clothes
They don't need no man, but you still that hoe
Every man you fuck with tryin' to sow his oats
Every man you fuck with fuck been catch ghosts
'Cause the cars they drive, like a moth to flame
You ain't pimpin' the game, tryna fuck for change
Pick yourself up

Pick yourself up
Ain't nobody helping no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no broke ass nigga
No broke ass bitch, no
Pick yourself up, pick yourself up
Pick yourself up, pick yourself up




No broke ass nigga, pick yourself up, pick yourself up
No broke ass bitch, pick yourself up, pick yourself up

Overall Meaning

The song "Pick Me Up" by R.I.P. Productions is all about the importance and value of picking oneself up and not relying on anyone else to do it. The lyrics emphasize the need to be independent and hardworking to succeed in life instead of relying on handouts or favors from others. The song is divided into three verses, which focus on different situations where people may encounter difficult times.


In the first verse, the lyrics criticize those who spend their income tax check recklessly, buying luxury items like foreign cars, only to have them repossessed later. The second verse talks about a struggle with poverty and how one can rise above it by working hard and not giving up. The third verse is directed towards those who participate in transactional relationships, often referred to as "sugar dating" or "sugar daddy" relationships. The lyrics suggest these relationships are not sustainable, and the individuals engaging in them should focus on being independent and not relying on anyone else.


The chorus emphasizes the message of the song, which is to pick oneself up instead of relying on others. The repetition of "no broke ass nigga, no broke ass bitch" emphasizes the importance of not letting anyone look down on you, and instead, standing up for yourself.

Your attraction to men is based on the cars they drive and their wealth


You ain't pimpin' the game, tryna fuck for change
You are not in control of your life and are only looking for men for money
