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.

O.G
Curren$y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anticipatin' these niggas hatin' yeah they waitin' that's fine.
Maco snap through the fishin' line. watch for the hook, Spitta bring it to just on time.
On trees, like an ornament at Christmas time, on G's.
But don't nothing move, til the money transfer, word to my crew.
The green done colored my dreams blue, skeen, to slice that lead cake up,
Fuck them other niggas pay us.
It's like I'm in it but not really in that Matrix, Ocean's 14, plot out new capers.
Wonderin' who they reserve first place fuck, those niggas, no pictures,
Babygirl roll those joints bigger
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
Fuzzy dice, velvet seats, mahogany upholstery,
A/C, sunroof cracked, this that, OG shit, you smell that?
All my Crooks got Castles, wonderwoman have lassels, hotboy crack tab of Tabasco.
Nas international, cash flow, smokin out the volcano, kush natural.
Used to have indo in my afro, one man band conquer west?
Shawty I could hit it out the park satchel page.
Damn I'm paid, thinkin' of all that money I made, since lookin' at the hip like I just got paged.
Every summer, new car, new paint, girl I know you ain't frown with yo' pussy, you BAITCH!
I work too hard for " I can't", stay burnin that " Man that shit stank! "
I'm in ya city girl, you a thick lil somethin' I need one more for the Spitta girl
[Chorus:Repeat x2]
In the song "O.G" by Curren$y featuring Fiend, the two artists rap about the wealth and success they have achieved through their music careers. The opening line, "race car driver, in my own fuckin' mind" represents the feeling of being on top and in control of their own careers, just like a race car driver. Curren$y refers to himself as "Spitta Andretti," paralleling his rap career to that of a professional race car driver.
Throughout the song, Curren$y and Fiend boast about their lavish lifestyles and the material possessions that come with their success. They reference fuzzy dice, velvet seats, and mahogany upholstery in their cars, all indicators of luxury. The line "On trees, like an ornament at Christmas time, on G's" refers to smoking weed (trees) and the color green (G's) being a big part of their lifestyle.
The chorus repeats the phrase "OG shit" multiple times, emphasizing the authenticity and originality of their success. The song overall can be interpreted as a celebration of the hard work and dedication required to become successful in the music industry.
