The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Get Back Up" by the artist "T.I."

Contents

In "Get Back Up," T.I. reflects on his humanity and the challenges of navigating criticism and setbacks. He acknowledges his flaws and mistakes, emphasizing that he's "just a man."

T.I. utilizes the metaphor of athletic achievement ("dust yourself off," "fight for the cup") to convey the message of rising above adversity and continuing to strive for success. He calls out the hypocrisy of those who judge him, reminding listeners that nobody is perfect ("Point a finger while I look down on you," "Same clown that shot my wedding and put it on Twitter, talkin' down on me on the same page").

T.I. addresses his fans, apologizing for disappointing them and vowing to do better. He recognizes the pressures of fame and how the media amplifies his missteps. Despite this, he holds onto faith in redemption, hoping his good deeds outweigh the bad.

Chris Brown's chorus reinforces the song's message, encouraging listeners to find the strength to get back up after falling down. Together, T.I. and Chris Brown craft an anthem of resilience and determination, reminding us that we are all human, capable of both mistakes and forgiveness.

[T.I.:]

I'm only human, dawg!

I'm only human, dawg!

I'm only human, dawg!

[Chris Brown:]

Can you hear me?

It's an S.O.S. to let me be me.

[T.I.:]

Ay, ay, ay! Listen to me.

And when they push you down,

You got to get back up.

And when they push you down,

You got to get back up.

[T.I.:]

Brush the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup

Or the trophy or the ring, champion no matter what.

'Cause when you got the belt and the ring,

People with ya popping bottles, taking pictures look around,

As soon as you fall down all the haters pass a judgement,

Surprise, I'm here to show that Imma rise above this.

[T.I.:]

Ay, what it is world?

Yeah it's me again, back before you, at your mercy,

Bended on the knee again, no running from the truth,

As much as we pretend, that it ain't what it is, then it hits CNN.

Apologies to my fans and my closest friends, (I'm sorry.)

For letting you down, I won't take you down this road again,

Most of you now saying, "Whatever, here we go again!"

Blogs, radio, and television all going in,

I laugh to keep from crying through all of the embarrassment,

I gotta say, you fucking haters is hilarious,

How dare you sit right there and act as if you holier than thou?

Point your finger now with me looking down,

Same clown that was twitpicing at my wedding,

On the same Twitter page disrespecting.

Wait a second! (Hold up!)

Never mind my imperfections this is fact, remember that,

No mistakes too great to recover and bounce back.

[Chris Brown:]

And when they push you down, you got to get back up.

And when they push you down, you got to get back up.

[T.I.:]

Brush the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup

Or the trophy or the ring, champion no matter what.

'Cause when you got the belt and the ring

People with ya popping bottles, taking pictures look around,

As soon as you fall down all the haters pass a judgement,

Surprise, I'm here to show that Imma rise above this.

[T.I.:]

I admit, yeah, I done some dumb shit,

Disappointed everybody I know,

Try not to hold that against me though.

My road to redemption has no GPS,

So guess the time must be invested for this to be manifested.

Yes, it's hard living life in the spotlight.

Trying to dodge the haters same time as the cop light,

The bible say ,"Let he without sin cast the stone first". (Stone first.)

The sinner or the one who judged him, who was wrong first?

Yeah he go to work, never done no drugs, or to be fair

He just drink his liquor, touch his kids, beat his wife, instead,

Difference is, my shortcomings hit the media,

Thanks to TMZ, the AJC and Wikipedia.

See the stairway to heaven while stepping down Jacob's ladder.

My good outweigh the bad, God, ain't that what really matters? (Nope.)

And matter fact, I'm wrong but after that the good I've done in your hood,

Should it overshadow that?

Got the World laughing at me for the moment,

But it gonna be your turn ‘fore it's over with

Even if you so legit, that you get a house with a dog and a picket fence,

The people with you then, but when they turn on you, remember this.

[Chris Brown:]

And when they push you down, you got to get back up. (I'm only human, dawg!)

And when they push you down, you got to get back up. (I'm just a human, dawg!)

[T.I.:]

Brush the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup

Or the trophy or the ring, champion no matter what.

'Cause when you got the belt and the ring

People with ya popping bottles, taking pictures look around,

As soon as you fall down all the haters pass a judgement,

Surprise, I'm here to show that Imma rise above this.

[Chris Brown:]

Hello, out there!

Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?

Ah, ah, ah, ah!

Can you? (Hear you.)

Hello, out there!

Can you hear me?

You gotta get you,

You gotta, gotta believe in me.

Hey!

[T.I.:]

I accept full responsibility for the all the wrong I've done.

If y'all thought I were perfect,

I apologise for being human, man.

But never again, partner,

You can put my life on that.

[Chris Brown:]

And when they push you down, you got to get back up. (I'm only human, dawg!)

And when they push you down, you got to get back up. (I'm just a human, dawg!)

[T.I.:]

Brush the dirt off your jersey then go for the cup

Or the trophy or the ring, champion no matter what.

'Cause when you got the belt and the ring

People with ya popping bottles, taking pictures look around,

As soon as you fall down all the haters pass a judgement,

Surprise, I'm here to show that Imma rise above this.

Hello, out there! (And you can love me, or you can leave me.)

Can you here me? (Before you judge me, just let me be me.)

Its an S.O.S. (And you can love me or either leave me.)

To let me be me. (Before you judge me, see life ain't easy.)
