Curren$y had an underground hit in 2006, Where Da Cash At, which can be heard on several of Lil' Wayne's mixtapes, including Dedication 2. He was featured on Lil Wayne's song "Grown Man" from the album Tha Carter II. Due to certain issues concerning the release of his album Music 2 Fly 2, he left Young Money and formed his Fly Society crew with professional skateboarder and rapper Terry Kennedy.
He has since focused on his Jets movement, which helped introduce various rappers such as Trademark da Skydiver, Young Roddy, Fendi P and T.Y., as well as slightly reintroduce No Limit veteran Fiend to new audiences. He later started to work in New York with Ski Beatz and other MCs at Dame Dash's DD172; where he released Pilot Talk and its sequel Pilot Talk II both in 2010, and was also featured on several songs on Ski Beatz' 24 Hour Karate School. Since then, Curren$y has put out eight more albums, 25 EPs and 43 mixtapes.

A Gee
Curren$y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanna live in a house don't want no grass to grow.
Yo homeboys lookin' bad and u giving cash to them hoes!
Ol' sucka ass nigga fuck you round here fo?
Finna take off on the pluckers? man cabin door closed hoe
O's rolled up fuck it we can get some mo
Kinda cotton had to stop at the 24 hr store
Sun ain't even out but I cant wait for the rain to stop
Shine rather or not u wanna deal with it
The bitch in yo car wanna her us
Leer what? Jets yea run vets! From the cars to the broads mafucka be my guest!
A gee is what I am, a JET is who I be.
You know what I smoke and u cant see me.
No matter where u go, 1 place we'll never be.
Is close even if you moved right next to me bro!
A gee is what I am, a JET is who I be.
You know what I smoke and u cant see me.
No matter where u go, 1 place we'll never be.
Is close even if you moved right next to me bro!
On a mission and I'm fishing for my nigga Ski Beats
Quote live nigga rap broke a jive nigga back
Spineless spliff cruising with Optimus Primus and in the prime is
I'm inclined to sound better than other rhymers
Don't bring them fools around him he'll make em look clownish
Countach Lambo shoot like ammo thru traffic with green trees I blend in like camo
Flauge, gosh oh my where was I?
When things got hot
Somewhere cool laughin' at you
Fuck rolling 1 roll 2 roll 3 loop the beat and light an incense in the booth yeah
And you cant see me
No matter where u go, 1 place you'll never be
Is close even if you moved right next to me bro!
A gee is what I am, a JET is who I be
You know what I smoke, and u cant see me
No matter where u go, 1 place you'll never b
Is close even if u moved right next to me bro
And you cant do a thing about it
And that ain't gone change I'm sorry
Them bitches know the planes got it
And you cant do a thing bout it
Them bitches know the planes got it
And that ain't gone change I'm sorry
The lyrics of Curren$y's song A Gee in 2-2 is about his lifestyle as a successful rapper and his pride in being part of the JET Life Crew. The song opens with lines that suggest he values a life of luxury but also admits that he is willing to give away money to others, perhaps his friends or acquaintances, which may not be a good idea. He also portrays himself as a confident, no-nonsense kind of person who isn't afraid to call out others' behavior if he deems it unbecoming.
The lyrics also mention his love for marijuana, as he hints at rolling up "O's" and getting more at a 24 hour store. Curren$y's strong belief and pride in being a member of the JET Life Crew is emphasized by how he repeats the phrase "A gee is what I am, a JET is who I be" throughout the song, giving recurrent listeners of the song a belief in his personality.
The song's chorus mentions that you don't need to know Curren$y's every move or details about his life because you'll never be as successful as he is, and nothing will change that. It's a way of communicating that he's not to be doubted and that he's already in the upper echelons so much that nothing can move him unless he decides to move.

And you cant do a thing bout it
I'm in control and there's nothing you can do to change that
You wanna live in a house don't want no grass to grow.
You want a life free of any problems, but that's not realistic
Yo homeboys lookin' bad and u giving cash to them hoes!
You're spending money on people who don't really matter, while neglecting your true friends
Ol' sucka ass nigga fuck you round here fo?
Why are you even here if you're not going to do anything productive or meaningful?
Finna take off on the pluckers? man cabin door closed hoe
I'm leaving and not looking back, no matter who or what tries to stop me
O's rolled up fuck it we can get some mo
Let's keep going and get more of what we want
Kinda cotton had to stop at the 24 hr store
Had to make a quick stop to get what I need
Drop them bomb ass tape V8 crate droptop
Playing great music in a cool car with the top down
Sun ain't even out but I cant wait for the rain to stop
I'm looking forward to better times, even if things aren't great right now
Shine rather or not u wanna deal with it
I'm going to be successful and shine, whether you like it or not
The bitch in yo car wanna her us
Even the girl in your car wants to be with me
Leer what? Jets yea run vets! From the cars to the broads mafucka be my guest!
I'm successful in all aspects of life, so come and join me if you want
A gee is what I am, a JET is who I be.
I'm a respectable gangster, and I'm associated with a group of likeminded individuals
You know what I smoke and u cant see me.
You may know my habits, but you can't predict my moves or my future success
No matter where u go, 1 place we'll never be.
You and I are different and will never be able to understand each other
Is close even if you moved right next to me bro!
Despite our differences, we are still close and connected
On a mission and I'm fishing for my nigga Ski Beats
I'm focused and working hard, trying to achieve my goals with my friend Ski Beats
Quote live nigga rap broke a jive nigga back
My authentic and real music will never be matched by someone who is fake or unoriginal
Spineless spliff cruising with Optimus Primus and in the prime is
I'm smoking a joint and cruising around with my friend, feeling at my best
I'm inclined to sound better than other rhymers
I have a natural talent for rapping and can outdo my competition
Don't bring them fools around him he'll make em look clownish
If you bring the wrong people around me, they'll look foolish in comparison
Countach Lambo shoot like ammo thru traffic with green trees I blend in like camo
I drive my car like a weapon through traffic, and the greenery around me acts like camouflage
Flauge, gosh oh my where was I?
I lost my train of thought for a moment
When things got hot somewhere cool laughin' at you
Even when things are intense, I can stay calm and laugh at my haters
Fuck rolling 1 roll 2 roll 3 loop the beat and light an incense in the booth yeah
I'm recording great music and enjoying the process, while staying relaxed and focused
And that ain't gone change I'm sorry
My success and power won't change, and I'm not sorry for it
Them bitches know the planes got it
Everyone knows that I'm successful and has what they want
And you cant do a thing bout it
You can't do anything to change my success or take what I have
Them bitches know the planes got it
Everyone knows that I'm successful and has what they want
And that ain't gone change I'm sorry
My success and power won't change, and I'm not sorry for it
