Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
If you ain't from round here dog don't even come around

Twist ya fingers up, bang motherfucker bang
Throw ya hoods up, bang motherfucker bang
Eastside, bang motherfucker bang
Southside, bang motherfucker bang

Do ya thug thang gon' get 'em up
Represent ya side nigga hit 'em up
Disrespect we gon' take it there
We 30 deep lil nigga we ain't fighting fair

You better holla at ya partners
Before we catch them outside and hit they ass wit dem choppers
The .45 make my pants sag
Catch me bouncing through the club wit my crip flag

You don't like it do something nigga
Where I'm from if we don't like it we do something nigga
And you know we gon' ride homes
Stomped a nigga ass out until they turn the lights on

Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
If you ain't from round here dog don't even come around

Twist ya fingers up bang motherfucker bang
Throw ya hoods up bang motherfucker bang
Eastside, bang motherfucker bang

Me and Jeezy on the back street
Choppers in the back seat
What we fin to do the questions yean even gotta ask me
Desert in my lap and skullcap and a black tee

Looking for the niggaz that say they fin to attack me
Turn the music down low and let the 'llac creep
Fuck the police, I give a damn if they catch me
Wait a minute that's that nigga looking at me

Let off 50 shots you niggaz ran like a track meet
I know my partners would have did the job for a flat fee
But seeing dem niggaz bleed is the only thing that's gon' relax me
I'm hands on nigga, damn what you say
All them games that you play don't stand a chance in the A nigga

Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
If you ain't from round here dog don't even come around

Twist ya fingers up bang motherfucker bang
Throw ya hoods up bang motherfucker bang
Eastside, bang motherfucker bang
Southside, bang motherfucker bang

Roll up on yo block, all the bullshit stops
Man hoe know that I'm the prince so that ass gon' drop
I was born in the A with things in the face
Smoke weed everyday, Zone 3 where I play

Yeah, I think I'm the shit 'cause I got an SS
But the shit a old folk so you can receive the letter
I'm the best of the best and the freshest of the fresh
Gotta pistol black out wit an Atlanta Hawk vest

Gotta lifetime of trouble and my brain still nervous
I don't rep the A by mistake, I do the shit on purpose
Do it how it's worth it rim and the cars swerving
It ain't nothing but Lil Scrappy and Jeezy up to start murking ya

Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
Hit 'em up, peace up, A-town down
If you ain't from round here dog don't even come around

Twist ya fingers up bang motherfucker bang
Throw ya hoods up bang motherfucker bang




Eastside, bang motherfucker bang
Westside, bang motherfucker bang

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Young Jeezy's song "Bäng" are about representing one's gang and protecting their territory by any means necessary. The first verse tells outsiders not to come around if they're not from around there. The chorus talks about banging and representing different sides (Eastside, Southside, Westside). The second verse talks about being prepared for attack with guns and how the singer relies on his partners to help him handle a situation. The bridge is a call to roll up on the block and stop the "bullshit."


The lyrics are a call to arms for gang members to protect their territory and assert their dominance. The song reflects the culture of violence that is perpetuated by gang life, and highlights the importance of loyalty to one's crew. At the same time, the song also portrays the dangers of violence and the constant threat of retaliation.
