Previously a member of Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment, he joined the No Limit Records collective as a teenager. After releasing countless free mixtapes online he released his debut album, This Aint No Mixtape on April 21, 2009. Curren$y is also a former member of Master P's rap group 504 Boyz, and has released collaboration mixtapes with Wiz Khalifa and Mack Maine.

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.

Fill Another Safe
Curren$y Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanna say free C-Style

L, uh
Some of your homies wasting space not carrying their weight
Smiling in your face while wishing they can take your place
What you do? Keep them niggas in the loop
What they do? Sit in the dark and plot on you
Game of Thrones this winter, rainy and cold this is known

Highed up mind blown to cope with living in this war zone
Smoking for the soldiers who ain't going home
Some journeys you must make alone
But I lit this gas for you, my nigga
Fueled for the paper mission driven to go and get it
Slept on me, woke up to me in a Bentley diaper shitted not tinted
Recognize a legend was sitting in it
Commit that image to memory
Fresh to death still living
Reminiscing Iceberg Slim and his eight women
Not that camera pimpin' I was never with
I ran with the realest I know every step I take I represent 'em
Couldn't see it another way
Fuck it, fill another safe, my nigga

Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
We got money put away
We got more money on the way
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe

Fuck it, fill another safe
Made a heavy bag today
And I ain't even hit the stage I just walked through the club and waved
Sat in the VIP section with my set and I got blazed
Joints of my own strain not confused, super dazed
But I see through the haze directly to the fetti
Stack it up Andretti 'bout money I ain't never played
This is serious business I don't joke about digits
Rubber bands 'round them bitches
Stacked up where we can fit 'em
Bury some under the building
Bury some under the backyard right by the attack dog
Put some in the wall, homie, I know we'll never fall
We still ball
We right back the next day
Fuck it, fill another safe

Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
We got money on the way
We got money put away way
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe

L
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
We got money put away way
We got money on the way
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe

Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
We got money put away
We got money on the way
Fuck it, fill another safe
Fuck it, fill another safe
Yeah
