Wassup
Rising Above: Wiz Khalifa's Anthem of Triumph and Hustle
Lyrics
Yeah
Expression of agreement or acknowledgment.
Some old school shit
Referring to a nostalgic or classic style.
When uhh, you be at the lunch table
Recalling moments at the lunch table, possibly a metaphor for a formative period.
This that right here
Indication that the upcoming content is significant.
Uh yeah
Affirmation of presence.
I put my team on
Boasting about elevating and supporting one's team.
Now we in the game
Success in entering the game or achieving a goal.
But I remember days when I ain't have no one to lean on
Reflecting on challenging times without support.
I learned to hold my own
Learning self-reliance and independence.
They sayin' the sky's the limit
Encouragement to aim high and break barriers.
Take a hundred dollar bill and make a paper plane
Suggesting creativity with money, turning it into a paper plane.
And try to make a name
Pursuing recognition and reputation.
And when you're done giving your all
Giving your best effort.
You give your everything
Committing fully, sacrificing everything.
You got what it takes
Asserting that the listener possesses the necessary qualities.
I told the world my song
Sharing personal achievements with the world.
They lovin' it
Receiving positive feedback for the music.
You can't tell me nothin', cause my whole clique's stuntin'
Confident assertion of individual and collective success.
Boy wassup
Greeting or challenging others with "wassup."
Yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm.
Yeah, yeah
-So where you goin', your life's on a road
Questioning the direction of life.
From the party to the plane and your name's in the light show
Describing a transition from social events to recognition.
You find your way back home
Finding solace or stability in returning home.
Away from all the pressure and that women tryin' to stress you
Escaping from external pressures, especially from relationships.
Find a new one
Suggesting a willingness to find new relationships.
You've reached a new phase
Entering a new phase or stage of life.
They got you lookin' at tomorrow like a new state
Contrasting tomorrow as a new state rather than just a new day.
And not a new day
-To some it may seem wrong
Acknowledging potential criticism but dismissing it.
But fuck it, 'cause I'm good weed puffin'
Indulging in recreational activities, specifically weed.
And my whole team stuntin'
Emphasizing the collective success and confidence of the team.
Boy wassup
Reiterating the greeting or challenge "wassup."
Yeah, yeah
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm.
Yeah, yeah
-Then I hop up out the bed
Starting a new day with routine activities.
Grab my iPhone
Using technology, specifically an iPhone.
Put some kush in the swisher
Engaging in a leisurely activity, smoking kush.
Roll one up
-When you live the star life
Emphasizing the need to work hard in the celebrity lifestyle.
Gotta go hard, so you workin' all night
Working throughout the night, highlighting dedication.
Sleep when the sun come up
Choosing to sleep when the sun rises, unconventional lifestyle.
Yeah, yeah
Expressing amusement or laughter.
Ha, ha, ha
-Yeah
-Okay
Confirmation or agreement.
