Tighten Up Lyrics


It's the same diff,
when I meet a girl that's so out of this world
I need a spaceship,
we can put it all together
that's make shift
I don't ever make moves, only make hits.
I'm on the fame clique,
can't die: please save me.
Big money budget I love it like Sam Raimi
Never a contestant I'm bettin' you'll never claim me.
But I'd rather be the host,
Chelsea Lately.
So I'm feeling like Hercules
and if looks could steal,
this would be a burglary.
Took the wheel and looking like she's hurtin' me,
but I ain't trying to be burned to the third degree.
And it's hard when she say "what did you do to me"

Joel McHale, she up in my community,
turn me on than turnin me like mutiny.
But i be livin in the land of opportunity.
say word
(Chorus)
Oh yeah, the drinks on me,
we can mess around if you stay low key.
all these other women say they know me
but shh, tighten up, just tighten up
(x2)
If you stay down,
when I see kids I remember
when we lived on the playground.
Now we livin in the sky cause we plane bound,
but I don't ever break rules I only break sound.
I'm on my take out,
can't choose just try me.
Big money budget: I love it like Pat Riley.
I ain't never bought but these labels don't wanna sign me,
I'd rather not talk;insert smiley.
You're too good for me, there's no question
so I came into your dorm like a freshman.
Tell em I ain't trying to leave though the exit,
because i dream big, let me Inception.
So my head spin we don't even break dance.
And I don't care what your doin don't make plans.
Crowd flipping I'm thinking we got a keg stand,
and every time I'm making my music I know I make fans.
(chorus)
Everybody just stand back,
trying to live a life that might never arrive with the am track.
and so many people want me that it's jam packed,
so I be given them some more like a grahamcracker.
Understand that.
Can't stop, just hold me.
Big money budget I love it like Bon Jovi.
Hittin up the track so we never be gettin cold feet.
Going for the gold, Shaq and kobe.
Stay good like a charity,
and I won't ever get drained like a battery.
But I do beat up the beat like a battery.
oh you love the double meaning?
Don't flatter me.
And the girls that real messy, they Tara Reid.
I read their mind, Tarot read.
Cards get drawn, lives get on,
telling I'm revin up their engine on the Camry.
(Chous)

R.E.M. were an alternative rock band formed in Athens, Georgia, United States in 1980. The band originally consisted of Michael Stipe (vocals), Peter Buck (guitar, mandolin), Mike Mills (bass, keyboards, vocals) and Bill Berry (drums). Berry retired from the band in October 1997 after having suffered a brain aneurysm in 1995.

R.E.M. released its first single, "Radio Free Europe", in 1981 on the independent record label Hib-Tone. The single was followed by the Chronic Town EP in 1982, the band's first release on I.R.S. Records. In 1983, the group released its critically acclaimed debut album, Murmur, and built its reputation over the next few years through subsequent releases, constant touring, and the support of college radio. Following years of underground success, R.E.M. achieved a mainstream hit in 1987 with the single "The One I Love". The group signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1988, and began to espouse political and environmental concerns while playing large arenas worldwide.

By the early 1990s, when alternative rock began to experience broad mainstream success, R.E.M. was viewed as a pioneer of the genre and released its two most commercially successful albums, Out of Time (1991) and Automatic for the People (1992), which veered from the band's established sound. R.E.M.'s 1994 release, Monster, was a return to a more rock-oriented sound. The band began its first tour in six years to support the album; the tour was marred by medical emergencies suffered by three band members. In 1996, R.E.M. re-signed with Warner Bros. for a reported US$80 million, at the time the most expensive recording contract in history. The following year, Bill Berry left the band, while Buck, Mills, and Stipe continued the group as a three-piece. Through some changes in musical style, the band continued its career into the next decade with mixed critical and commercial success. In 2007, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

On 21 September 2011, after over 30 years together, R.E.M. announced that they had split up.
