Hold Up
Hold Up: A Thrilling Escape Tale of Desperation and Freedom
Lyrics
Put it in the bag boys
Initiating a robbery, instructing others to collect the loot.
Said the petty thief
A character, possibly the thief, speaking about the act of stealing.
I'm only gonna say it once
Issuing a warning that important information will be shared only once.
So don't play dumb with me
Advising against pretending ignorance during the unfolding situation.
Don't nobody make a move
Ordering everyone present to remain still and silent.
And don't nobody speak
Reiterating the command for silence.
Everybody on the floor
Instructing everyone to get on the floor for compliance.
Don't mess around with me
Warning against any defiance or resistance.
Put it in the bag boys
Repeating the directive to put the stolen items in a bag.
Then we're on our way
Planning to depart once the theft is complete.
All the money in the bag
Emphasizing the focus on the stolen money, with intentions to count it later.
We'll count it up another day
Delaying the counting of the stolen money for a later time.
Put it in the bag boys
Reiterating the instruction to put the loot in the bag.
Then we've got it made
Expressing confidence that success is achieved once the money is secured.
Now don't go making me mad
Warning against provoking anger during the robbery.
Put the money in the bag
Reiterating the demand to place the stolen money in the bag.
We've gone and made it this far
Reflecting on the progress made in the criminal act.
Now we can't run away
Acknowledging the inability to escape after reaching a certain point.
If we make it out alive
Contemplating the possibility of survival and seeing another day.
To see another day, oh then
Expressing hope for a future beyond the criminal act.
We'll leg it to the border
Planning to escape to a border location.
Sneak on past the toll
Intending to bypass a toll booth discreetly.
There ain't no copper
Asserting confidence that law enforcement won't capture the criminals.
Gonna put me in the hole
Believing in the success of avoiding legal consequences.
We're almost at the end
Highlighting the nearness of the conclusion of the criminal act.
There's an open road ahead
Anticipating an open road, symbolizing freedom ahead.
Freedom's just another 30 miles away
Describing the proximity of freedom, just a short distance away.
But luck came undone
Expressing a turn of fate, luck taking an unfavorable twist.
As we jumped the gun
Acknowledging a premature and impulsive action leading to consequences.
Now all we can do is run
Accepting the current situation and emphasizing the only option is to escape.
