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.

Chasin' Papers
Curren$y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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)
In "Chasin' Papers," Curren$y speaks about his desire to chase after money and the lifestyle he's always dreamt of. He recalls chasing after a luxurious life with lamborghini engines sound as he pedaled his bike, and how he's always desired the finer things in life. He recalls how he's seen people killed over small amounts of money, and how life is fragile. Nonetheless, Curren$y still chases after the big bucks, spitting bars for his fans. The song gathers momentum as Curren$y warns young men about the dangers that come along with chasing after money, such as bad habits, addiction, and crime.
Line by Line Meaning
I know what it's like
I understand the feeling
To want it all, I was born to ball
I have always desired the best things in life
Making Lamborghini engine sounds pedaling my bike
I imagined myself driving a luxurious car from a young age
Lusted at luxury life since a tyke
I craved a lavish lifestyle from childhood
Switches on a Monte Carlo turn a car into a trike
I have always been fascinated by modifying cars
These images was burned in my mind
These thoughts and desires are firmly entrenched in my thoughts
Chasing that paper like it stole something of mine
I am vigorously pursuing wealth and success with great urgency
It did though, friends killed over small bills
Money has caused me to lose friends in the past
I still go, hard spitting bars for them folk
I continue to push myself and work hard to achieve my goals
Life so fragile
Life is precious and easily lost
But the big bucks lay down the road less traveled
The greatest rewards come from taking risks and choosing less conventional paths
Cause they scared of the hazards
Many people avoid taking risks because of the potential dangers involved
We living for the money, nigga we dying to have it
We are all driven by the pursuit of money, even if it brings harm to us
These hoes shaking asses doing lines
Women are using drugs and engaging in immoral behavior to make money
Popping valiums adding to a long list of bad habits
Using valiums as a coping mechanism is just one of many negative habits
Niggas murdering, burglaring and kidnapping
Some people turn to crime to gain wealth and position
Dashing and cashing all in the midst of the madness
People are making quick escapes and spending money recklessly in a chaotic environment
All I wanted was some rims
At one point, I simply desired flashy wheels for my car
I had a couple girls
I had some love interests
But I knew if I had some chrome, I could multiply them hoes by ten
I believed that having fancy rims would make me more attractive to women
Materialistic them bitches is kinda hypocritical though my nigga
Women who are obsessed with material possessions are being hypocritical
Because we play the same games wit 'em
Men engage in the same behavior with women
Guilty of it fuck it though
I admit that I am also guilty of materialistic desires and behavior
I'm lane switching with no roof like a house when a tornado hit it
I am driving fast and recklessly, taking risks with no regard for potential consequences
No kidding this world ain't Disney
The real world is not a fairy tale or magic kingdom
These characters is after your pennies
There are always people who are trying to take advantage of you for your money
Stack up can't go far with the dealings
Accumulating wealth is important, but you cannot succeed without smart business deals
Pimpin', back up, look at the whole picture and then see if it add up
Take a step back and evaluate the overall situation to determine if it makes sense financially
I ain't no mathematician but I can count
I may not be skilled in complex mathematical equations, but I understand basic arithmetic
On the jets fetching a very large amount
I am making a significant amount of money through my music career
Racks on, racks on racks
I am making a lot of money and accumulating wealth
Stretch marks on my account
My bank account is overflowing with funds
Eyes low but I'm still watching outsiders
I am aware of my surroundings despite appearing relaxed
Bony girl know that she rolling with a rida
A thin girl is aware that she is dating a wealthy and successful man
Money on my mind yeah that shit is inside us
Desire for money and wealth is deeply ingrained in our culture and mindset
I'm up all night chasing paper (paper)
I am relentlessly pursuing financial success, working hard to make as much money as possible
