Hit'em Up
Tyga Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas, I ride for my niggas
I die for my niggas, nigga I hit 'em up

T Raww go stay Westside, killa' cat pillar,
No ceiling, probably worth ten million
Poor nigga watch chilla, you ain't even gotta feel it
That's chin chinchilla flyer than a caterpillar
I sick my dogs at you, yeah
They ain't call the dog catcher, bitch
Spark the fire, no matches, yeah
So high just laughing, hah
Burners in the attic, they ain't know I had it
Shoot sporadic, fire automatic, pop a target
Driving backwards, I'm a hundred bill fanatic
Bring the static, make vows to the money, but I skipped marriage
Keep staring, rather die that nigga than live average, get you embarrassed
Thousand karats on my wheel that my kids inherit
Black card credit, told them I don't use debit
Nigga know that's my motto, I could do this shit forever so

Fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas, I ride for my niggas
I die for my niggas, talkin' get you hit up

Fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas, I ride for my niggas
I die for my niggas, nigga I hit 'em up

We don't rock with them niggas anyway, fuck 'em
We'd ever caught them in the hood, we'd a stuck 'em
Things coming in, we get them off by the dozen
We about that action, y'all ain't about nothin'
Girl of your dreams, I already had her
If it ain't my team, it don't really matter
Short stay, I'm only in town for the figures
Even when I'm up, I'm still down for my niggas
Nothing else, don't concern me or worry me
Nah, I'ma ride 'til they burn me or bury me
'Cause the truth is, niggas die every day
Heard about me, I hope you heard thoroughly
I don't switch sides, I just switch rides
Might just get a little head, let the bitch slide
Knowing that I can, knowing that I will
Far as the other side go, you know how I feel

Fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas, I ride for my niggas
I die for my niggas, talkin' get you hit up

Fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas
Fuck them other niggas, 'cause I'm down for my niggas




Fuck them other niggas, I ride for my niggas
I die for my niggas, nigga I hit 'em up

When I was 13 I always wanted pac on a mustard beat, he was one of the hottest producers coming up from 2011-15 & this is the closest thing we’ll ever get to pac on a modern instrumental

Noah Loos

In my opinion, this song is so cool. A current mainstream artist bringing back old lyrics from one of the most recognizable artists in the rap game. This song can reach out to multiple generations. I think that's amazing. If you seriously don't like this song or don't appreciate it, then why are you even still here listening to it?

Prithvi lama

Are you alive

Tim Reyna

No matter what tupacs verses always gonna relate to us in one way or another

Guhbs Beats

I love Tupac but completely respect Tyga for doing this song. Tyga's flow is so good and the more you listen to him, you'll begin to respect him more.

Cameron Cannon

I like how everyone says "This is disrespectful to pac. He would never have agreed to this if he were alive" like they new him personally. I think Tyga did a good job with this song, and did it in a good respectful way to Pac.

Durakovic Anis
