The Chief Keef lyric finishes, “Keep your hands up like yea throw it back.” The line appears in “I Need More,” a track from his 2018 EP Ottopsy.
The phrase uses “throw it back” as a dance expression, describing a dancer moving their hips backward in time with the music. “Keep your hands up” adds the familiar concert and party gesture of raising one’s arms, making the line both an instruction and a rhythmic boast.
Ottopsy was released in June 2018 and contains five tracks, with “I Need More” among the songs that drew attention after the EP appeared. Chief Keef, whose birth name is Keith Cozart, was a central figure in Chicago’s drill scene and became known for his heavily processed vocals, compact hooks, and slang-heavy writing. The lyric is sometimes misheard because “yea” is delivered as a vocal interjection rather than standard prose.
