Chasin
Curren$y Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know what it's like
To want it all, I was born to ball
Making Lamborghini engine sounds pedaling my bike
Lusted at luxury life since a tyke
Switches on a Monte Carlo turn a car into a trike
These images was burned in my mind
Chasing that paper like it stole something of mine
It did though, friends killed over small bills
I still go, hard spitting bars for them folk
Life so fragile
But the big bucks lay down the road less traveled
Cause they scared of the hazards
We living for the money, nigga we dying to have it
These hoes shaking asses doing lines
Popping valiums adding to a long list of bad habits
Niggas murdering, burglaring and kidnapping
Dashing and cashing all in the midst of the madness

I know
I was there so I seen and I did what you up to
I know you're chasing the paper (my nigga)
I know that scared but it's there and the girls wanna fuck you
I know you're chasing that paper (you're chasing that paper)

I know what that it is
All I wanted was some rims
I had a couple girls
But I knew if I had some chrome, I could multiply them hoes by ten
Materialistic them bitches is kinda hypocritical though my nigga
Because we play the same games wit 'em
Guilty of it fuck it though
I'm lane switching with no roof like a house when a tornado hit it
No kidding this world ain't Disney
These characters is after your pennies
Stack up can't go far with the dealings
Pimpin', back up, look at the whole picture and then see if it add up
I ain't no mathematician but I can count
On the jets fetching a very large amount
Racks on, racks on racks
Stretch marks on my account
I know how you feel I'm still feeling it now

I know
I was there so I seen and I did what you up to
I know you're chasing the paper (my nigga)
I know that scared but it's there and the girls wanna fuck you
I know you're chasing that paper (you're chasing that paper)

Eyes low but I'm still watching outsiders
Bony girl know that she rolling with a rida
Money on my mind yeah that shit is inside us
I'm up all night chasing paper (paper)

Eyes low but I'm still watching outsiders
Bny girl know that she rolling with a rida
Money on my mind yeah that shit is inside us
I'm up all night chasing paper (paper)

I know
I was there so I seen and I did what you up to
I know you're chasing the paper (my nigga)




I know that scared but it's there and the girls wanna fuck you
I know you're chasing that paper (you're chasing that paper)

Overall Meaning

Some of them supposed to go, some of them supposed to stay I ain't tryna ruin yours, I'm tryna make a way, yeah I be at the top, that's my favorite place That money gonna come, I don't gotta chase it Them bitches gonna come, I don't gotta chase em I'ma keep getting love, I don't gotta chase it Diamonds in my chain, watch, and my bracelet Got love for all my dawgs, I don't gotta chase it

They say I smoke too much, I say I don't smoke enough You ain't dealing with what I'm dealing with, bruh Remembering when the crib I lived in didn't look like this The carpet had burn holes, nigga, we was in there smoking And thinking on how to grab us some mid Me and my dog was close to going half on a chopper And like a pound of weed and just lockin' in and gettin' it But then lightening hit Wasn't trying to change the world But we fucked around and did it Kept all my cars, but I kept trading in woman Neon lights spell out my company name on the side of the building It's going down in my life, baby girl, but I really be chilling Reminiscing, lost wages, bum deals I should've ran magnifying glasses on them pages and that's for real, yeah
Curren$y reminisces on his past struggles with his friend, including when they were broke and smoked weed in a run-down apartment, dreaming of getting rich. They were close to buying a gun and a pound of weed to sell, but then lost their shot at it. Despite all the challenges he's faced, including lost money and bad deals, Curren$y remains calm and collected in his current life of success.


Give it all back to my son, millions plus one I don't do 'less it's fun, to focus the funds I remember taking trips with weed in the trunk Now police don't even trip when we rolling up Legal stunts, got a pound with each our name on it Setting up the family, that's the main focus Game polished, did our best to keep these lames off us Turned down what the labels offer Now everything in our name Influenced the game with our slang Its all a hundred percent, never changed All my niggas stay solid as the friend You broke, won't never fix you again
Curren$y reflects on his legacy and the wealth he's accumulated over the years. He plans to pass it all down to his son and family, and only invests in things that he enjoys doing. He also talks about how far he's come, reminiscing on how he used to hide weed in his car, but now can smoke it openly without worry. Curren$y also mentions how he turned down record label deals in order to maintain control over his own music and career, and take pride in the influence he's had on the game with his unique style.
