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.

Lemonade Mimosas
Curren$y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Roll one up for my nigga, gotta smoke it alone cause somebody killed him
So I′m roaming the city stoned, won't leave the town alone
Stay putting on, new shit
Louie Vuitton case for the pool sticks
Want it off the brick, show you what to do with this
Audio drug lord, penning that dope for yo ass to smoke
Four bars like an 8 ball of snow
She having a classic coke, her model feature still intact
That powder yet to take a toll on her
She in the suite at the game hunting business owners
Tryna get one of them fools to throw a ring on it
Won′t be me or none of my homies
That money got our attention every minute
Every second thinking of ways to bring them cheques in
It's a obsession
Focused on grosses, never on these hoes'
Jets up in motion, Land, Air, Ocean
Lames we don′t know them
Game to be sold, not told
Count it up, stash it
Then bring some more in
This is not a game but we playing
With some dope bitch
Paid in the shade nigga
Lemonade Mimosas
Uh
Airport passenger pick up
Looking like a showroom
This how our bitches come to get us
Every moment worthy of pictures
Each one worth a million
Shift gears like pulling the trigger
Killing them niggas Leave they head spinning
They find they women missin′
Mama tryna kick it like a habit
But if its not bout cash I keep dipping
That cadillac viscous
Thats the homie Vish shit
Painted and on switches riding to the bank
Fuck what a bitch think no tint on the windows
Sharks in the fish tank chilling
Twisting a zip of that dank
On a mission to get bigger
Expansion, more mansions
More vehicles, more Villas
Imagine it, my nigga
Focused on grosses, never on these hoes'
Jets up in motion, Land, Air, Ocean
Lames we don′t know them
Game to be sold, not told
Count it up, stash it
Then bring some more in
This is not a game but we playing
With some dope bitch
Paid in the shade nigga
Lemonade Mimosas
Paid in the shade nigga, Lemonade Mimosas
The song "Lemonade Mimosas" by Curren$y talks about the artist's love for money and success, and also reflects on the harsh realities of life that come with that level of luxury. The opening lines "treacherous bitches tryna snatch bricks out the crib before you build it" suggest that everyone is trying to take a piece of the pie before it even becomes a pie, in reference to the difficulties of building success from the ground up. The lyrics also touch on themes of loss and isolation, as the artist mentions smoking alone to remember a friend who has been killed.
The rest of the song emphasizes the importance of focus, with lines like "focused on grosses, never on these hoes'" suggesting that financial success is the main priority. The line "game to be sold, not told" indicates that there are secrets to success that are not easily shared, and the repeated lines "count it up, stash it, then bring some more in" emphasize the constant pursuit of more money.
Throughout the song, Curren$y paints a picture of a lavish lifestyle with references to high-end brands like Louis Vuitton, and mentions of private jets and expensive vehicles. However, the lyrics also hint at the emptiness that can come with this level of wealth and the constant striving for more.
Line by Line Meaning
Treacherous bitches tryna snatch bricks out the crib before you build it
Watch out for backstabbers who try to take advantage of you before you even succeed
Roll one up for my nigga, gotta smoke it alone cause somebody killed him
Smoking a joint alone to honor a friend who was murdered
So I′m roaming the city stoned, won't leave the town alone
Wandering around high on weed and not wanting to go home
Stay putting on, new shit
Showing off new clothes and accessories
Louie Vuitton case for the pool sticks
Using a luxury brand case for pool cues
Want it off the brick, show you what to do with this
Selling drugs and teaching others how to use them
Audio drug lord, penning that dope for yo ass to smoke
Making music that's like a drug for listeners to enjoy
Four bars like an 8 ball of snow
Rapping four bars has a similar effect as using an 8 ball of cocaine
Hundred dollar bills rolled into a straw
Using rolled up $100 bills as a way to snort drugs
She having a classic coke, her model feature still intact
A woman using cocaine but still looking attractive
That powder yet to take a toll on her
Cocaine hasn't visibly affected her looks or behavior yet
She in the suite at the game hunting business owners
Going after wealthy men at sporting events who might invest in her business ideas
Tryna get one of them fools to throw a ring on it
Attempting to get a rich man to propose and become her husband
Won′t be me or none of my homies
None of his friends or him would fall for her scheme
That money got our attention every minute
Always thinking of ways to increase their wealth
Every second thinking of ways to bring them cheques in
Constantly strategizing on how to make more money
It's a obsession
Money is an all-consuming drive to succeed
Focused on grosses, never on these hoes'
Concentrating on making money, not chasing women
Jets up in motion, Land, Air, Ocean
Traveling in different ways, using private jets, cars, and boats
Lames we don′t know them
Ignoring people they don't care about or respect
Game to be sold, not told
Making money from the game of hustling, not sharing secrets
Count it up, stash it
Counting and hiding their cash
Then bring some more in
Making even more money
This is not a game but we playing
Hustling and making money is a serious business
With some dope bitch
Having a great time with an attractive woman
Paid in the shade nigga
Earning money and resting in the shade
Lemonade Mimosas
Drinking a refreshing and luxurious cocktail
