Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You know me can't get caught without my chopper
Lil' weak wit fifty I'm itching to see I got cha
B.G. labeled as a bust back nigga
Can't let yo chrome put holes in me, fuck that nigga
If you don't hit me up and I get another chance nigga
That's that ass nigga, and you could trust that nigga
I put it on my first bomb like fifty states
I got fifty rounds to split yo motherfucking grape
I hope you don't think you could get away
Because I ain't gon let you get away
And you can ride this

Load it up pull it back then aim
Bust and release fifty flame in hang
Bullets slang like crack cocaine
Fifty niggas always riding wit Lil Wayne
My rees string up bo's fall halfway
I'm jumpin' out a tree with a camouflage AK
I spots my target and let'em go in the wind
Bullets fly by cha cha blow in the wind
One afta' another and another
How they come slippin' out the clips
See 'em flip and hm hum

You see how Hot Boys play it now
When we coming for yo issue woodie lay it down
'Cause if you don't you done piss me clean off
Ya history dog believe fifty shots gone set it off
Me, Wayne, Juve, and Turk coming show you through
Four niggas with fifty shots that's two hundred at you

They burn ah ah on da real
They damage fa' flip and turn ah
Face be on a bandana fa'
Niggas scattered like sand
'Cause I got sluggs up in my hand
Fifty marching like a band
Niggas crumble like cans ah ah hold yo horses
I gotta K with fifty choices ah ah chose one
I set it off to bruise one

Set it off fifty shots gonna set it off
Set it off fifty shots gonna set it off
Set it off fifty shots gonna set it off

Killing you niggas ain't no thang
I'm quick to let that chopper rang
Beef keep frozen but when it melts
I do my thang fifty shots to set it off
Real quick bitch niggas get left
Where they can't be found fuckin' with me
I got some niggas on my side that will ride or die with me
Craig, Ron, Randy a ride or die with me
They will bust a head with me from the scene they fled with me

My fucking rounds when I drawn down they gon draw down with me
I acts wild when I come through no time to watch out
Fifty shots with no doubt, blood gon' rush out
Niggas could run up and get done up if they want
Think I'm gon' hesitate nigga I won't
I tear it down yo whole block
With the chopper chop down your whole spot
You thinkin I'm fake nigga you better not
Fifty shots to set it off, you get flopped off the top

Set it off fifty shots gonna set it off
Set it off fifty shots gonna set it off

Welcome to Magnolia norm soldier with bombs
Mama knew I would blow up cause calm for so long
For the present that be the evil, that got me bust'n at people
Fuck if this shit's illegal, I gotta fix up my regal
For the shit that apply me, send apologies but I got fifty niggas
Loyal to die for me, look what the devil done to me
Running the beef under the streets

Na we each gotta knock of da leash
A bunch of empty shells
Walking no talking plot'n for power
Going riding in sour foe heroin, rocks, powder
Tomorrow not promised
I got so much niggas behind us hungry peronas
With intentions of bein' timers
Fuck sitting around for the revolution to jump off
Look I'm bout my issues fifty shots gon' set

Set it off fifty shots gonna set it off
Set it off fifty shots gonna set it off
Set it off fifty shots gonna set it off
Set it off fifty shots gonna set it off

Take Up Your Spade Lyrics by Sara Watkins

Sun is up, a new day is before you
Sun is up, wake your sleepy soul
Sun is up, hold on to what is yours
Take up your spade and break ground

Shake off your shoes,
Leave yesterday behind you
Shake off your shoes,
But forget not where youve been
Shake off your shoes,
Forgive and be forgiven
Take up your spade and break ground

Give thanks, for all that youve been given
Give thanks, for who you can become
Give thanks, for each moment and every crumb
Take up your spade and break ground
Break ground, break ground, break ground

Take Up Your Spade Lyrics by Sara Watkins

Sun is up, a new day is before you
Sun is up, wake your sleepy soul
Sun is up, hold on to what is yours
Take up your spade and break ground

Shake off your shoes,
Leave yesterday behind you
Shake off your shoes,
But forget not where youve been
Shake off your shoes,
Forgive and be forgiven
Take up your spade and break ground

Give thanks, for all that youve been given
Give thanks, for who you can become
Give thanks, for each moment and every crumb
Take up your spade and break ground
Break ground, break ground, break ground

I honestly thought this was a worship song when I first heard it. It is for me, I get so emotional listening to it. So beautiful

Greg Langan

Sara has one of the best voices around. Nice to see Jackson Browne in the video. Can't wait to see them both in July.

matt west

She is so beautiful in so many ways. A perfect example of what we need more of in this world!

JourneyAbout

Glad to see Sara finally getting some solo recognition! Although I miss Nickel Creek tremendously!

lemon_macaroon_

Man. This is what I needed today.
It's just so peaceful!

yodelking591

The whole album is EXCELLENT!

chikkenbonz

Ahh such a beautiful song. Sara has a very rich and soulful voice. Like it envelopes you in a blanket of warm familiarity. Very unique. The only thing I don't like about the song is it's only 2 minutes and 8 seconds long.... Thank you Sara and band mates!

You guys ever play Cincinnati? I'd love to see you live! ā¤

Paige Whitley

Love this song, a sweet and simple life message encapsulated in lovely tune and voice.

Matt Maxwell

This is an amazing song! Thank you Sara. Amazing.
