Uppercut
s.e.k. Lyrics

I wanted to bring back that reality,
I want to show the raw reality of my life and struggles and not be mistaken for someone else, like Mike Tyson.

Nobody can ever be confused and think I'm fuckin' Mike Tyson
I don't want to be misunderstood or compared to someone else like Mike Tyson.

And I'm the heavyweight champion,
I may be small, but I have the strength and determination to overcome the challenges of life.

I'm a little nigga, that's why its so raw to just watch me battle lions,
I may be small, but I am fierce and I am not afraid to take on bigger challenges in life.

'Cause I'm a little skinny nigga battlin' niggas three times my size"
I am an underdog, fighting against bigger and stronger opponents and succeeding despite the odds.

Watch this uppercut, here it come
I am going to hit you with a powerful punch, so be ready.

Watch the jab nigga, ugh
Pay attention to my quick punches, as they can be quite powerful.

Here it come, look out, watch my arms
Be prepared for my attacks, as I am skilled and dangerous.

Now see so many motherfuckers want to take a piece
There are many people who want to take advantage of me, or take what I have.

Commin' equipped with some shit that niggas just can't believe
They come prepared with weapons or tactics that are difficult to comprehend or overcome.

I pull a trick from my sleeve now kamikaze
I will use whatever strategy or trick I can to defeat my opponent, even if it means risking my own safety.

I'm all over that nigga, come identify the body
I am so confident in my abilities that I know I will defeat my opponent and they will not survive the encounter.

My middle finger to you hoe niggas
I have no respect for those who try to take advantage of others.

Run up on me, and ill be forced to let it go nigga
If someone tries to attack me, I will defend myself and not back down.

I ain't the one you want to try, why, stayin' high
I am not an easy target, especially when I am under the influence.

I hit this blunt an watch these motherfuckers die
I enjoy watching my enemies fail or be defeated, especially when I am smoking marijuana.

Whose runnin' these streets I said that cocaine
The drug trade is a powerful force on the streets, and cocaine is a major part of it.

Cause in the the dope game, niggas'll die 'fore they go broke mayne
Being involved in the drug trade can be deadly, as people are willing to do anything to maintain their wealth and power.

Another hustler makin' major cash
I am another person who is making a lot of money through illegal means.

'til the punk police come an raid ya ass
Eventually, the police will catch up to and arrest those who are involved in illegal activity.

Now you stressed doin' fed time, and its a bitch
Going to federal prison is a difficult and stressful experience.

Cause the judge gave you 8 years, you doin' 6
Even when you receive a relatively short prison sentence, it can feel like an eternity.

And we know that you can't hang, you a trick
Many people who participate in illegal activity are not prepared for the consequences and will turn on their associates to save themselves.

Rolled over turned snitch like a biatch
They become informants or witnesses for the government, betraying their former allies.

Now you know you shoulda ducked nigga
If you come after me, you should be prepared for the consequences and try to avoid losing.

Gotchu fallin' from the uppercut, fucked, so what's up nigga
I knocked you down with a powerful punch, so are you going to keep fighting or give up?

They got a nigga in the dice game, I'm feelin' lucky
I am taking a risk by participating in gambling or other illegal activity.

But the nigga just a little bigger, he tryna fuck me
My opponent is bigger and stronger than me, and is trying to take advantage of my smaller size.

Out my cash, imma blast nigga, he don't know
If he takes my money, I will use violence to get it back, whether he expects it or not.

I gotta tell ya like the last nigga, gotta go
Just like the last person who tried to take advantage of me, I will not let this person win and they will be forced to leave.

Don't need to roll for the truck, I get em' up
I don't need a lot of resources or support to be successful, I can handle things on my own.

Left to right, my uppercut'll hit em' up (ha)
I have a powerful punch that can hit my opponents from many angles and directions.

I'm known to walk the streets on any block
I am not afraid to go anywhere, even in dangerous parts of town.

I love my niggas, but I ain't puttin' down my glock
I care about my friends and associates, but I am not willing to give up my weapons or protection for them.

The gun shots rang when I lose nigga, and ooh nigga
If I am going to lose, I will do everything I can to fight back and make it difficult for my opponent.

I'mma show you not to ever play a true nigga (haha)
If you try to take advantage of me or play me, you will regret it because I am skilled and powerful.

Lay it down just to prove it
I am willing to risk everything to prove my own strength and ability.

And fuck the rappin motherfucker we can do this
I don't have respect for those who only talk about their skills and abilities, let's take action and prove it.

They claim that we violent, we named after tyrants
Many people criticize us for our violent behavior, but we are following in the footsteps of influential leaders throughout history.

This revolution won't be televised, we keep it silent (shh)
We are not interested in fame or publicity, we are quietly working towards change and revolution.

Roll on our enemies, beat em' at they own game
We are not afraid to confront our enemies and use their own tactics against them.

Molotov cocktails, release an up in flames
We are willing to use violent means, such as throwing Molotov cocktails, to achieve our goals or inflict damage.

Tired of bein' stepped on, sick of bein' held back
We are tired of being oppressed and marginalized, and are ready to rise up and take action to change our circumstances.

Lookin' through my rear view, thinkin' bout the pay back
I am reflecting on my past struggles and looking for ways to seek revenge against those who have wronged me.

Want to see my kids grow don't know if imma make it though
I have hopes and dreams for the future of my family, but the reality of my dangerous lifestyle may prevent me from seeing them come true.

One more nigga came up short in the ghetto
Another person has been unable to overcome their struggles and was defeated by the harsh realities of life.

Society lied to me so I'm strapped with the metal
I feel that society has wronged me, and I am carrying weapons to protect myself and fight against the injustices I have experienced.

Push ya middle finger up nigga if you a rebel
If you are a rebel and are willing to fight against the system, raise your middle finger in defiance.

Have ya face down goin in ya pockets if ya let em
If you let others take advantage of you, they will rob you and leave you with nothing.

I done lost too many homies for me to ever forget em
I have lost many friends and loved ones to violence, and their memory will always be with me.

I done made so many mistakes but still I don't regret em
I have made many bad decisions in my life, but I do not regret them because they have made me who I am today.

I'm a product of the pimp, the pusher, and the reverend
I have been influenced by many different people in my life, including those involved in illegal activity and religious leaders.

I'm a product of the block, the fiends, and the felons
My upbringing and experiences have been shaped by the people and environment around me, including drug addicts and criminals.

We all lost souls tryna find our way to heaven
We are all struggling and searching for meaning and purpose in our lives, trying to find a way to a better place.

"To all the conrads no longer with us, see you when we get there
I am remembering and honoring those who have died or been killed in the struggle, hoping to be reunited with them someday.

'Pac, Yak, we gon' keep on ridin', give these cowards the uppercut
I am dedicating this song and my life to the memory of Tupac and Yak, and to all those who have died fighting against oppression.

'Til we get up there with y'all, you know! Thug Life we still livin' it
We will continue to fight and struggle until we are reunited with those who have passed, Thug Life will continue.

Outlaw for life, in the name of the Don, let's go! woo
I am an outlaw, committing illegal and dangerous acts, in the name of a higher power or force. Let's go and take action.
