Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
30-minute conversation with my partner he in jail
He said “Young, don't you let these niggas trick you out your spot”
Homie on the inside nigga love you like you're Pac
Tell it fuck it I'm faded, 'bout to turn up I'm hot
All you hating ass niggas need to lay down and die
If a bitch text me now, she might not get no reply
Niggas turn up or die
Niggas turn up or die
Niggas flicking, niggas hating
Niggas turn up or die
Bitch, turn up or die
Bitches turn up or die
Niggas hating, bitches flick
You gotta turn up or die
Oh shit, young back on his old flow
Tell you niggas something that you didn't know
Grown ass man, they're on that little boy shit
Talk, talk, talking rack with no chest, little boy shit
Can't pick your bitch self unless I put it down
When they was 24 a piece, I served the whole town
What the deal on streets want some new shit
Talking so hard this shit go where the news clip
? porches, I killed them again
Told your own recession nigga I was playing to win
Passed these niggas 10 times they're in my rear view
I'm on this gangster Gibbs, nigga, I can't hear you
Tell it fuck it I'm faded, 'bout to turn up I'm hot
All you hating ass niggas need to lay down and die
If a bitch text me now, she might not get no reply
I'm too busy doing me, I'm 'bout to turn up or die
Niggas turn up or die
Niggas turn up or die
Niggas flicking, niggas hating
Niggas turn up or die
Bitch, turn up or die
Bitches turn up or die
Niggas hating, bitches flick
You gotta turn up or die
Ok, I got an announcement
Niggas talking money, ain't got an accountant
You can ball for the money, yeah, I got 3
You niggas wanna play the game, well I got ?
You can play with them other niggas, homie not me
How dare you open up your mouth speaking on the ?
Oh no Young is feeling like a spirit now
Guess it's time to play, shark in an aquarium
May you little niggas talking on that lil shit
Pillow talking with them bitches, yeah that pillow shit
Ye you know I'm blowing killer, yeah that killing shit
Streets say nigga get back on your dealership
Tell it fuck it I'm faded, 'bout to turn up I'm hot
All you hating ass niggas need to lay down and die
If a bitch text me now, she might not get no reply
I'm too busy doing me, I'm 'bout to turn up or die
Niggas turn up or die

Niggas flicking, niggas hating
Niggas turn up or die
Bitch, turn up or die
Bitches turn up or die
Niggas hating, bitches flick
You gotta turn up or die
In "Turn Up Or Die" by Young Jeezy Feat. Lil Boosie, the lyrics revolve around the theme of having a carefree attitude towards life and embracing your true self. The song starts with Young Jeezy talking about having a conversation with his jailed friend. The friend advises Jeezy not to let anyone take his place or deceive him. Jeezy then moves on to express his desire to live his life as he wishes, without giving in to the hate and negativity of others. He calls out the jealous people who try to bring others down and encourages them to either join in or perish.
In the second verse, Jeezy talks about his years of experience and wiser mentality, referring to the immature behavior of some others as 'little boy shit' and notes how he stood firmly behind his business dealings. Jeezy then takes a swipe at those who speak on things they have no real knowledge of and those who engage in pillow talk. He finally ends the song by stating that he is embracing his true self and will continue to live his life without regrets.
