To "turn up" is to get drunk and/or high, party, and forget about life for awhile. To "turn down" would be to get serious, go to work, and deal with reality.
Turn Down For What (the song) is a social commentary making the point that many people -- especially in "the hood" -- feel that even if they do "turn down" and do everything society expects of them, the deck is still so stacked against them that their lives still will not improve.
So why bother to turn down, if there's nothing to turn down for?
We shouldn't waste our lives turning up constantly. Maybe we should turn down.
Turn down for what? What's the point? I might as well just make myself feel good and enjoy living for the moment.

To get car jacked in the far right lane at an intersection because you stopped instead of rolling through and making the right turn. This term was made infamous in Texas. Mainly in the Houston, Dallas, and Port Arthur areas. Car jackers set up and hide at intersections waiting for a vehicle of there liking to roll through. If it stops and is in the turning lane, car jackers ambush the vehicle, get in and make the right for the previous driver never to be seen again. Car jackers who do this, have no shortage of victims in Texas. Many people in Texas have slabs and/or customized, flashy vehicles and one of the ways they show them off is by moving slow or stopping in the turning lane near intersections.
When your in Texas, don't EVER get caught slipping in the turning lane.
