Thug Life
Rise Above the Chaos: Thug Life Anthem by We Butter the Bread with Butter
Lyrics
Get up, get up
Encouragement to rise or stand up
And listen to your heart yeah
Advocating listening to one's heart for guidance
Don't lose yourself and don't give a fuck
Emphasis on self-preservation and indifference
Shut up, shut up
Command to stop talking, especially foolishly
You're talking like a fool
Critique of someone speaking foolishly
So what ya gonna do when your life's a fucking mess
Rhetorical question about dealing with a chaotic life
This insane nation
Reference to a troubled or chaotic society
Save yourself, break the shell
Encouragement to self-preservation and breaking free from troubles
Escape from hell
Urge to escape from a difficult situation or place
All these temptations
Allusion to various enticements or challenges
If you're gonna let them go we will rise tonight
If one overcomes temptations, a positive outcome is expected
Stand up, stand up
Command to stand up, possibly against adversity
Don't fool yourself
Warning against self-deception
Be who you really are
Emphasis on authenticity and being true to oneself
Get up, get up
Reiteration of the call to rise or stand up
Open your eyes and fight
Encouragement to confront challenges with open eyes
All the lies
Reference to falsehoods or deceit
All the faces around me
Observation of deceptive or insincere people around
Follow me, so you'll see the fight
Invitation to follow the speaker in a fight against deception
All the lies
Reiteration of the prevalence of lies
Falling to the ground
Description of lies collapsing or failing
Get up, get up
Repetition of the call to rise or stand up
It's time to break the walls down
Time to break down barriers or obstacles
Show what you are made of
Encouragement to reveal one's true self
Throw your mask away
Command to discard a facade or false identity
Stand up, stand up
Reiteration of the call to stand up, possibly in unity
Let's raise our fists and fight
Call to raise fists and fight, possibly for a cause
