Ante up
Meanings of "Ante up"
Used as an imperative commonly in card games it means to put up the money you are betting on a hand, or paying the same amount of money as others on the table. You are placing a bet that is owed to that set of cards (a hand). This can occur at the very beginning of a game where 'the house', or the dealer starts the betting.
The term also applies to the request to pay a debt, or to pay off a past debt. This may be an obligation that is not monetary, a service to render. It can be interpreted sometimes as, 'to make equal' in something.
It is slang and 'ante' comes from Latin 'before'. Before something is done it is paid up. This would be a preemptive payment of debt.

I'll let y'all worry 'bout a list, I'm on some other shit
A difference between accomplishments and astonishments

There’s a game in the world, a little bit of cat and mouse
With the boys and the girls, and if I had to ante up
I’d bet on the birds, ’cause they don’t have to walk around
It's N-O-T, don't you flex on me
I do not get no sleep
I'm barely up, hope you ante up
Word to M.O.P., you don't know me
Your game sucks, you need a new one
Your game sucks, make a new one up
Up the ante, up the drive,
Slow down - is this how you feel inside?
Knock-knock, mothafucks, it's me, Mr. Clusterfuck
What, when, where, how, like who gives a fuck
Golf Wang M-O-B, mopping niggas ante up
Ain't been this fucking sick since brain cancer ate my Granny up
Suzanne Vega - No Cheap Thrill
Ante up. And don't be shy.
Who is that man who is catching my eye?
What's underneath all of the deadpan face?
Sitting so pretty with a criminal grace?
There was Poker Bill, one of the boys who was always in a game
Whether he lost or whether he won, to him it was always the same
He would ante up and draw his cards and he would you go a hatful blind
In the game with death Bill lost his breath, in the days of '49
[Bridge: Matt Champion]
Fuck, put ya ante up, riding in the limousine
I'm stuck on some bud I hit, underground, we can't compete
Rem Belushi, I'm a Ghostbuster, bitch
I'm supposed to be scared 'cause you bought your Barbie chain back?
I'll revert to "Ante Up," you'll get your Barbie chain yapped
Tried to front in February, catch you in that Maybach
I’m alone, headstrong now, we on a mission
Stompin’ out all the rules of the game.
Ante up, sleeves up, now you got the vision,
bullet proof and
Leave the other two for my nigga Eminem
Never writer's block, I block writers
My block's tighter, ante up and get your top fighters
Got fired for jumpin' the counter with a mop stick
'Cause I've been ballin, shot-callin'
Droppin' heat back to back while y'all stallin'
Y'all wanna ante up, but I'm all-in
Climbin' the ladder, ain't no way I'm fallin'
Who could fancy, honor circuit when the circle's every duke is clammy?
Trooper, scoop the food in pantry
Ante up, stupid!
May delusion feed em foofi candy
우린 가족끼리 해먹어, yeah, 마치 삼성
Hi-Lite, 우린 마치 대기업
Give it up, all you mutherfuckers better ante up
우린 맛있는 거 먹어, 너넨 엿 먹어
