Feel the weight of the streets in “By The Police,” the explosive opener to Young Thug‘s UY SCUTI (Supernova Edition), which just landed yesterday on October 3, 2025, via Young Stoner Life.
This 28-track beast expands the original cosmic odyssey with seven fresh cuts, including this one that’s been teasing fans since its 2021 premiere at the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2022 runway show by Matthew M. Williams. Back then, whispers swirled it might land on Punk, but sample clearance snags kept it vaulted until now – a raw slice of Thug’s Atlanta grit over ATL Jacob’s booming production.
Right out the gate, Thug lays it bare: waking to police knocks, turning pain into gold-plated trophies, and flipping trenches into triumph. Lines like “You see me down, nigga, better help me up” hit hard, echoing loyalty amid raids and risks, while nods to dead brothers and block survival add that unflinching depth. It’s Thug at his most vivid, blending trap confessions with a plea for uplift, all wrapped in drippy flexes that scream post-prison resilience. Fans on X are flooding timelines with reactions, linking it to the edition’s stellar arc – from interstellar highs in “Rosetta Stone” to gritty lows here – making UY SCUTI feel like Thug’s ultimate supernova burst after years of delays.
This track sets the tone for the expanded tape’s mix of vulnerability and victory, tying into collabs like the Lil Keed-featuring “I Put A” for that Opium family feel. Whether you’re replaying for the motivational bridge or the unfiltered verse tales, it’s pure Thug alchemy.
Dive into the By The Police lyrics below and unpack its raw street wisdom. Don’t miss other UY SCUTI tracks for more of Thug’s cosmic magic.

Lyrics of By The Police by Young Thug
[Intro]
Help Me Up
You See Me On The Ground, Then Help Me Up
You See Your Nigga Down, Help Him Up
You See Your B**ch Down, Help ’em Up
Help Me Up, Help Me Up
Help Me Up, Help Me Up
You See Me Down, Nigga, Better Help Me Up
I’m Torn Down, Man, You Better Help Me Up, Yeah
(Atl Jacob, Atl Jacob)
[Chorus]
Gettin’ Woke Up By The Police (Every Day)
Every Single Damn Mornin’ (Ooh)
I Put My Left Wrist On Gold Like A Trophy
I’m Drippin’, Don’t Forget
I Can Tell You What To Go Get (Let’s Go)
[Verse 1]
Probably Could’ve Been An Athlete,
But A Nigga Didn’t Get A Chance (Get A Fair Chance)
Instead, I Had Got On My Grizzy,
Then I Came Home With All Kinds Of Bands (All Colors)
Niggas Wish They Had This Pretty B**ch Of Mine,
But You Too Late, My Mans (T’hah)
Niggas Tried To Antagonize A Nigga Spirit,
But I Turned To A King Again (King, Let’s Go)
How The F**k You Niggas Ride On The Opps (Opp)
Then Turn Around And Tell It To The Cops? (Pff)
Pipe It Up, We Got The Millions, We Too Hot (We Too Hot)
I Nicknamed The B**ch Oven, She Was Hot (Woo, Woo)
Thinking ’bout My Dead Brother Get Me Hot (Get Me Hot)
Growing Up, He Taught Me How To Treat A Thot (B**ch)
Taught Me How The B**ches Leave When You Rot (B**ch)
Told Me Get Out The Trenches, I’m Too Pop For ’em (Let’s Go)
[Chorus]
Gettin’ Woke Up By The Police (Every Day, Every Day)
Every Single Damn Mornin’ (Ooh)
I Put My Left Wrist On Gold Like A Trophy (On My Wrist)
I’m Drippin’, Don’t Forget
I Can Tell You What To Go Get (Let’s Go)
[Verse 2]
Let’s Talk About The Block, All I Got’s The Block (And What?)
Servin’ Alka-seltzer Plus Like It’s Rocks (Facts)
Way Too Lil’ To Understand When They Say It’s Slowin’ Up The Trap (Huh)
Young Niggas Taking Risks, I Adapt (Let’s Go)
Walked Into A Junkie, “Where My Money? You Owe Me”
“Young Broke Nigga, Get My Money, You Owe Me” (Where My Money?)
“Don’t Let The Homies See You Rockin’ In Them Rollies” (Or What?)
“Or They Gon’ Take It Off You” (Let’s Go)
I Been On The Block With The Same Old Rocks (Been On The Block)
Guess Somebody Got Laid Off (Oh)
Don’t Pick At No Corn ’til They Can’t Grow Scrap
Christmas Trees, Jingle Bells Down South (Oh)
I Just Wanna Turn The Road
Life Is Just Some Dice With Every Point One Time (Oh)
Machine Gun Ride, Man, You Sure You Wanna Come?
She Suck It Through The Pocket, Then I Put It On Her Tongue (Ah)
I Told ’em I Was Biased And I’m Never Sipping Rum (Hey)
A Hard Time Swallowing? I Thought That It Was Yum (A Hard Time)
I Took It Out Her Stomach, Then I Put It In Her Butt (Her Stomach)
I Took It Out Her Mama, Then I Put It In Her Aunt (Her Mama)
I Bought The B**ch Some Water,
Then She Took The Shit To Flint (Some Water)
I Told Her, “This Beginning Never Ever Ever End”
I Told Her That She Been My Emphasis Ever Since
I Told Her, “I Will Never Ever Rent Pink Slips” (Yeah, Let’s Go)
[Chorus]
Gettin’ Woke Up By The Police (Every Day, Every Day)
Every Single Damn Mornin’ (Ooh)
I Put My Left Wrist On Gold Like A Trophy (On My Wrist)
I’m Drippin’, Don’t Forget
I Can Tell You What To Go Get
[Bridge]
Help Me Up, Help Me Up
You See Me On The Ground, Then Help Me Up
You See Your Nigga Down, Help Him Up
You See Your B**ch Down, Help ’em Up
Help Me Up, Help Me Up
Help Me Up, Help Me Up
You See Me Down, Nigga, Better Help Me Up
I’m Torn Down, Baby, Better Help Me Up, Yeah
[Chorus]
Gettin’ Woke Up By The Police (Every Day, Every Day)
Every Single Damn Mornin’ (Ooh)
I Put My Left Wrist On Gold Like A Trophy (On My Wrist)
I’m Drippin’, Don’t Forget, I Can Tell You What To Go Get
