There´s a song by Beyoncé with this phrase:

"Cuz another brother noticed me

I’m up on him, he up on me"

    Basically means they want each other sexually. Could also be flirting.

    Well, this is ghetto talk, very bad English, regular people don't talk like that. So...this is considered slang.

    I like him/noticed him, he likes/noticed me.

    He is attracted to me, I am attracted to him.

    But please, don't talk like that, people will think you are not intelligent. I guess you just want to understand the song.
