Hands Up
The Ball Lyrics

All my playa niggaz throw your hands up
Calling on all the cool guys to throw their hands up in the air

And all my thug niggaz throw your guns up
Calling on all the tough guys to hold their guns up high

Weak niggaz give your funds up to these hoes
Asking the coward guys to give their money to the women

Distance your foes and stay up on your toes
Advising to keep distance from enemies and be cautious

I love this game but its not the NBA
Enjoying the lifestyle but acknowledging it's not professional basketball

It be me and MJ doin' shit the playa way
Performing with MJ in their unique style

Daily smokin' hay
Smoking weed on a regular basis

The time on my Roly tellin' me I'm gonna make cheese like Kobe
The timepiece on his Rolex watch indicating his potential to earn money like Kobe Bryant

Did what the real niggaz showed me and shook the phonies
Following the advice of real friends and ignoring the fake ones

Hooked the honies, lookin' like I got some money
Attracting women to him, appearing like he's wealthy

Ain't it funny, they diss you when you lookin' bunny
It's strange that people criticize you when you appear weak

But she your honey, when your stuff shrimps in her tummy
When a woman has your child, she becomes your love

I just call it how I see it, non-fictional
Speaking honestly with no embellishment

Deliver the bomb shit, straight irresistible
Presenting amazing stuff that can't be ignored

Without a pistol, I'll make you put your hands up
He doesn't need a gun to make them raise their hands

So everybody in the place put your hands up
Asking everyone in the crowd to put their hands up

Stompin', and pimpin' and mackin' and actin'
Referring to the lifestyle of acting tough and flirtatious

Bad when a nigga rappin'
Acting out in a negative way while rapping

Get your hands up, let me see the big butts
Asking those with ample bottoms to showcase them

We don't want to see nothin' but the big butts
Expressing a preference for only seeing large behinds

Thug niggaz if you feel me bust
Asking the tough guys to show they understand by shooting their guns

No matter where you at pull your shit out and bust
Regardless of location, violent behavior is expected

Yeah, first to bringin' the pain
The first to inflict harm

And you better bring a Hertz too
A warning to bring backup in order to handle the pain he's bringing

Southern voodoo brewed up to curse you
Using black magic to bring bad luck upon someone

May even hurt you, born into violence
Acknowledging that he inherited a violent way of life

Streets a pilot, flyin' rhymes over cloudy beats
Navigating through life like a pilot, rapping over downbeat music

50 thousand feet above what you thought I was
Far above peoples' expectations of him

Just a scrub, not good enough to get your love
Feeling inadequate and unlovable

I came with acrobatic tongue tactics
Bringing unique verbal skills to the table

Parental advisory because my shit is graphic
Warning that his content is explicit

Tatooed on your memory that fat Tennesee MC
Ingraining himself in people's minds

Comin' out hard, they call me Mr. be-I-G
Debuting in a hard-hitting, authoritative way

But not because of my size, you better recognize
Acknowledging that his impact is not due to his physical stature

I'm do or die, when you talk about my green guys
Willing to fight for his money

Warn the citizens, the killers on the loose again
Alerting people that dangerous individuals are active

Gone off of 'lucigens, clownin' in the big Benz
Acting bizarre and showing off in a luxury car while high

All I want to do is make a nigga get bucked
His goal is to make someone act out in anger

So get up, and get your mothafuckin' hands up
Urging people to stand up and raise their hands aggressively

Throw your hands in the smoke, cause there's smoke in the air
Encouraging people to throw up their hands, referencing the hazy club atmosphere

Get close to me, I'll contact your ass like a flare
Coming in close and making an impact like a flare illuminating the night sky

As you stare, nigga you gonna come to term with what you see
The more one stares, the more they'll realize what they're looking at

A primitive example of the shit you want to be
A prime representation of what people aspire to become

And I ain't gonna be persuaded, by blue sueded shoe wearin'
Refusing to be influenced by people with fancy shoes

Slick gun bitches, who get paid quick
Describing women who use guns and sex to make money

Trick niggaz stop all of that trickin' and shit
Urging deceitful men to stop their games

If she come with a price tag, fuck that bitch
Refusing to pay for love or affection

Why should you switch? From one hoe, and love 'em all
Questioning the idea of being unfaithful and loving multiple women

Cause she could suck the flavor out a dick?
Wondering about the appeal of a promiscuous woman

Hell nah
Absolutely not

One thing you gotta know about a woman
A lesson about women

Big dicks will be the reason for some shit known to get that pussy comin'
Insinuating that having a large penis is desirable and will attract women

Now who I be, before the G, MJ
Asking who he was before his rise to fame and partnership with MJ

Nigga I ain't tryin' to high side
Not trying to be overly boastful

But have a nice day
Ending on a friendly note

Like a, get a way girl
Referencing a woman who attracts attention

I get hips to watch
Drawing the attention of women

I'm takin' applications
Looking for prospective partners

Look at all the traffic you stopped
Implying that women are causing a scene and creating a traffic jam
