Wiz Khalifa Unveils “Hype Me Up” Song (+Lyrics)

Listen to Wiz Khalifa’s Fresh “Hype Me Up” | Produced by TM88, E. Dan, C$D Sid & WizzleGotBeats.

Wiz Khalifa is a man with plenty of confidence – there’s no denying that. Still, on today’s New Music Friday (August 4) release, the “Taylor Gang” hitmaker made it clear that even he needs to hear words of affirmation from time to time. On “Hype Me Up,” Khalifa rhymes about how others validating his awesomeness makes it easier to recognize in himself over production by TM88, E. Dan, C$D Sid, and WizzleGotBeats.

“I ain’t got a gun but their hands to the ceilin’ / I ain’t palm readin’ but I got ’em in their feelings, yeah,” the 35-year-old spits on his first verse. “Ain’t Vanilla Ice but I’m iced out, chillin’ / Was the good guy ’til they made me the villain,” he continues, reflecting on the public’s perception of him.

2023 has been an impressive run for the father of one so far. Singles like “You” featuring Ty Dolla Sign and “Talk About It” with Big Jump remain in rotation. He also worked on and “Slangn KK” in tandem with Hardo preceding “Hype Me Up.” Prior to those, we heard Khalifa show out on “House of Blues” with Smoke DZA, Big K.R.I.T., Curren$y, and others, as well as on “I Want a Ferrari” with the legendary Riff Raff.

As for albums, he delivered the 23-track Star Power in late February. WK later returned to give us See Ya in mid-June, with guest appearances from Chevy Woods and Young Deji.

Lyrics

[Chorus]
Never leave the house without the pack, where my doobie at?
Take a L and try to doubleback, we ain’t doin’ that
Say she mine but I know it’s cap, I’ve been through with that
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up (Hype me up)

[Verse 1]
I ain’t got a gun but their hands to the ceilin’
I ain’t palm readin’ but I got ’em in their feelings, yeah
Ain’t Vanilla Ice but I’m iced out, chillin’
Was the good guy ’til they made me the villain
Was gon’ get a room but they gave me a villa
I got games sport center
Twenty bands for the dinner
Twenty dips in a Sprinter
What’s a zip to a pinner?
Never been afraid to play my cards
What’s a risk to winner?
Barely hang out with niggas these days
What’s a lame to a real one?

[Chorus]
Never leave the house without the pack, where my doobie at?
Take a L and try to doubleback, we ain’t doin’ that
Say she mine but I know it’s cap, I’ve been through with that
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up (Hype me up)

[Verse 2]
Never turned my back on my guys when they need me
Gotta get respect for my job, it ain’t easy
In a good mental state and God is the reason
This is plain jane season
Fresh up off the plane in Japan, I ain’t leavin’
They say seein’ is believin’
Well, here’s a briefcase with a million dollars even
This all week, no days off
This hard work gon’ pay off
I made myself a promise young
I would never work a day job
Put it in the safe, never know when I’m gon’ need that
Came here with my gang, you don’t know where your homies at
Gave you a lot of game, you don’t owe me back
You say you a boss, gotta show me that

[Chorus]
Never leave the house without the pack, where my doobie at?
Take a L and try to doubleback, we ain’t doin’ that
Say she mine but I know it’s cap, I’ve been through with that
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up
Need someone to hype me up (Hype me up), hype me up (Hype me up)

[Outro]
I got games sport center (Sport center)
Twenty bands for the dinner (For the dinner)
Twenty dips in a Sprinter (In a Sprinter)
What’s a zip to a pinner? (To a pinner)
I got games sport center (Sport center)
Twenty bands for the dinner (For the dinner)
Twenty dips in a Sprinter (In a Sprinter)
What’s a zip to a pinner? (To a pinner)
