Stand Up
Richard Cheese Lyrics

Stand up! Stand up!
Encouraging the listeners to stand up and pay attention

[Chorus]
The repeated phrase that the song is built around

When I move you move (just like that)
Inviting the audience to follow the singer's lead and keep up with his moves

Hell yeah! Hey DJ bring that back!
Expressing enthusiasm and requesting the DJ to replay the music

(When I move you move) just like that
Repeating the central message of the chorus

How you ain't gon' fuck! bitch out me?
Questioning why someone would disrespect the singer

I'm the god damn reason you in VIP
Boasting about being responsible for the listener's VIP status

CEO you don't have to see ID
Claiming executive status and VIP privileges

I'm young, wild, and strapped like Chi-Ali
Asserting independence and security

Blow! We ain't got nothing to worry about
Encouraging a carefree attitude towards life

Whoop ass, let security carry em out
Threatening violence against any troublemakers and delegating their removal to security personnel

Watch out for the medallion my diamonds are wreckless
Warning others to be cautious around the artist's jewelry, which is expensive and flashy

Feels like a midget is hanging from my neckless
Describing the heaviness of the singer's jewelry

I pulled up wit a million trucks
Stating that the singer arrived with an entourage and impressive vehicles

Looking, smelling, feeling like a million bucks-ahh!
Feeling confident and attractive

Pass the bottles, the heat is on
Asking for more alcohol to keep the party going

We in the huddle all smoking that Cheech & Chong
Describing the artist and his friends gathering together to smoke marijuana

What's wrong?! The club and moon is full
Observing that the club and the night sky are both busy with activity

And I'm looking for a thick young lady to pull
Expressing the singer's desire to find an attractive woman

One sure shot way to get em outta them pants
Implying that dancing with a woman is an effective way to initiate physical intimacy

Take note to the brand new dance, like this
Instructing listeners to pay attention to the artist's new dance moves

Go on wit ya big ass! lemme see something
Addressing an attractive woman and requesting that she show off her figure

Tell ya little friend he can quit mean mugging
Telling a jealous companion to stop scowling

I'm lit and I don't care what no one thinks
Acknowledging that the artist is intoxicated and uninhibited

But where the FUCK is the waitress at wit my drinks?!
Expressing frustration that the singer's drinks have not yet arrived

My people outside and they can't get in
Explaining that the singer's friends are outside the venue and unable to enter

We gon' rush the back door and break em in
Suggesting that the singer and his friends will forcibly enter the venue through a back door

The owner already pissed cause we sorta late
Acknowledging that the group is running behind schedule and causing problems for the venue owner

But our time and our clothes gotta coordinate
Stating that the timing and appearance of the group must be synchronized

Most girls lookin right some looking a mess
Observing that some women in the venue are attractive and others are not

That's why they spilling drinks all over ya dress
Explaining that the poorly-dressed women are more likely to spill drinks on themselves

But Louie Vuitton bras all over your breasts
Commenting on the high-end clothing worn by some women in the venue

Got me wanting to put hickies all over ya chest
Expressing desire to leave marks on an attractive woman's body

C'mon! we going party tonight
Encouraging the group to enjoy themselves and have fun

Y'all use mouth to mouth bring the party to life
Urging the group to share their enthusiasm and energy with each other

Don't be scurred, show another part of your life
Encouraging self-expression and vulnerability

The more drinks in your system the harder to fight!
Asserting that becoming more intoxicated makes it more difficult to control one's actions

Damn right the Fire Marshall wanna shut us down
Acknowledging that the group is causing a disturbance and may be in violation of safety regulations

Get us out so someone can gun us down
Concerning the possibility of a violent end to the group's partying

We was two songs away from getting some cutta
Referring to the potential for romantic success before the venue is shut down

Now we one song away from tearing the club up
Expressing the group's frustration and aggression as the end of the party approaches

Move over! Luda got something to say
Indicating that Ludacris is taking over as the singer and has a message to share

Do it now cause 'tomorrow' ain't promised 'today'
Encouraging listeners to live in the moment and take action immediately

Work wit me! let's become one with the beat
Collaborating with the audience to enjoy the music together

And don't worry bout me stepping all over ya feet
Assuring listeners that the artist will not accidentally injure them

Stand up! Stand up!
Encouraging the listeners to remain physically active and engaged with the music

Stand up! (just like that)
Encouraging listeners to move to the rhythm of the music

Stand up! Stand up!
Indicating that the song is nearing its conclusion and encouraging the audience to participate until the end
