Up
Social Club Misfits Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been down for too long
Gotta run it up
Pulling up in tha' vroom vroom like a monster truck
Came from the bottom so you know wassup
Better check the score numbers going up
Going up
GO, GO, GO, GO, going up
Came from the bottom so you know wassup
Better check the score numbers going up

You gon miss me when I'm gone
That's Lebron
Swerving every question
Asking where I'm from
They should know
That's that 305
That's that 561
That's that 954
Headed out the door
Now gotta go
Peace out
Remember when I use to practice raps and call them freestyles
Used to wanna fit in, now I'm happy being me now
Now they email Mr. Santiago when they reach out
Back up on my feet, can't let my team down
Oh yea
Got the whole bag
Gotta toe tag every verse
For the whole fam
We gotta eat
I got the heat
Where the dough at
Life is moving so fast
If you blink you're gonna miss this very moment, wow

Let me run it up
They still won't let me inside Canada
Waverunners on the White House floor
My son already told me I'm the man so imagine me
Rapping for applause, only the real would understand
Patagonia bags from the main to the courier
You couldn't catch up if we let you, you're talking 'bout hurry up
Life is peaks and valleys like Tauren Wells
When your bus food waiting for you, you're touring well
I'm writing like I'm Alfred Hitchcock
The flow is Orson Welles
I can often tell in 3 to 4 seconds whether your flow can sell
I'm OG Bo Jackson with the beastmode
Please know mi vida cambiada por Jesus Cristo




It's Fernie baby Desde principio
Still see nobody, everybody's see through, I'm gone

Overall Meaning

The song "Up" by Social Club Misfits is about overcoming obstacles, persevering through tough times, and succeeding in life. The opening lines of the song, "I've been down for too long, gotta run it up", sets the tone for the song as a determination to work hard and achieve success. The lines, "Pulling up in tha' vroom vroom like a monster truck, came from the bottom so you know wassup, better check the score numbers going up", showcase the achievement of success and how the score numbers are going up. The lyrics also explore the struggle of coming from humble beginnings, where the duo references Miami's area codes 305, 561, and 954, signifying the neighborhoods they have grown up in.

Back up on my feet, can't let my team down". This demonstrates how the rappers have come out on the other side of their struggles, and now they have achieved success, and can pay homage to their past. They are proud of their identity and history and how they have progressed in life.


"Up" presents a message of encouragement to the listener to keep striving for success, even in the toughest of times. The song reminds the listener that success is possible and it is often the journey that makes you stronger.
