Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get on your knees
Hands up, get em' up

Get on your knees
Hands up, stick em' up

Get on your knees
Hands up, get em' up

Get on your knees
Hands up, stick em' up

I didn't do it
I never did it
I swear it's an accident

My weekend hobby
Ya, no one stop me
Was out in my truck at night
And I said

Get on your knees
Hands up boys
I just love sayin' that
I'll say it again

Get on your knees
Hands up boys
That's right
That's right

Was only aiming
Was only pointing
But I was only looking, looking

Cause I'm a boyhunter, a boyhunter, a boyhunter
I need a boy tonight
Get on your knees
Hands up boys
I just love sayin' that
I'll say it again

Get on your knees
Hands up boys
That's right
That's right

Good looking (good looking)
Mad shocking (mad shocking)
Hard rocking (hip hopin')
Boy tonight

I couldn't help it
Just couldn't stop it
Something must've come over me

My midnight joyride
Caught you in headlights
I had to take you home with me
And I said

Get on your knees
Hands up boys
I just love sayin' that
I'll say it again

Get on your knees
Hands up boys
That's right
That's right

Was only watchin'
Was only wonderin'
Yes, I was only looking, looking

Cause I'm a boyhunter, a boyhunter, a boyhunter
I need a boy tonight
Get on your knees
Hands up boys
I just love sayin' that
I'll say it again

Get on your knees
Hands up boys
That's right
That's right

Get on your knees
Hands up, get em' up

Get on your knees
Hands up, stick em' up

Get on your knees
Hands up, get em' up

Get on your knees
Hands up, stick em' up

Diggydiggy baby don't act dumb
Get on your knees and put your hands up when I come
Skye and I sleeping you out for your tounge
You try to run and I hunt you down my ak
Hey I look so good
Try to hide from us boy I wish you would
Hop in my ride, take you far in the woods
And let you bury your bone like a big dog should
Get on your knees hands up boys
I just love sayin' that
Don't make me say it again
Cause I'm in it to win
I'm just dissin my aim
Hunt you down turn you into a man

Was only aiming
Was only pointing
But I was only looking, looking

Cause I'm a boyhunter, a boyhunter, a boyhunter
I need a boy tonight
Get on your knees
Hands up boys
I just love sayin' that
I'll say it again

Get on your knees
Hands up boys
That's right
That's right

This is a stick up
Put your hands up
Im coming to your town
Gonna bust it down

Get on your knees
Hands up boys
I just love sayin' that
I'll say it again

Get on your knees
Hands up boys
