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.

Scottie Pippens
Curren$y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still kick you in the head like I think
You on the verge of getting up
No mercy, Cobra Kai, Cobra commando
Deadly venom spitting, niggas just a salamander
I'm living the life worthy capturing on camera, documented
How one of the last lives was deaded
How I rolled up in the drop, how I rolled up that sticky
How I f*ck them to sleep?
How I woke up out the building when I was finished
Keep it G, them niggas not original they muthafucking house of mirrors
Not quite the image, I'm on that Popeye spinach
Mama mai-tai sippin, she loves a square nigga
But now she trying something different
Windy City Bulls, mention the Nets, wool jackets and sweats, Scottie Pippens
My description, high of that fuzzy green prescription
Lying if I said that I isn't
If you looking for that nigga: I is him
All eyes in this direction, a burden and a blessing
Reporting live from the devil's pad
Breakfast here: two titties, two plus and a turkey bacon sandwich
2 seeds with eggs and bread jelly
My hoes they rarely pop that pussy,
They put off in my Pontiac on Pirellis '82 edition
Spotters body squatting on sixes?
Rather be counting stacks than stuck in the county, washing the dishes
Or washing drawers in the pen ?
I had to go pay the correct correctional officer to walk him in
Bail money on debt, come at my neck
Plus that boy cause that same place where him ? where he slept
I issue eternal rest, sign up and be a subscriber
The price of life that's so high that I must make sure I stay higher
Stay with the purp out of piso?
Smacking as deep as needles
They run in the rock just like I play quarterback for the eagles
Rando donovan in the mic a
'Fore I picked up this mic I was hitting licks
Did dirt with plenty disciples
I'm gang bang affiliated, federal investigated, self educated
All my co-conspirators catching cases
I got straight out of college and I made it at home ?
But believe I got the balls to clear up all of my altercations
Leave faces with operations, closed casket console
Tryna make million dollars, fuck a million downloads
But if that equal the same, smash it up and give me my change
I made a lane up in this game so niggas goin' remember the name
Gangsta Gibbs ho, two bitches cooking in the crib hoe
Still push a bucket but I ride it like a Benz hoe
Tryna find a bridge ho, to slanging raps, from slanging weight
Said the Fred the new age ? call me baby face
The lyrics to Curren$y's song Scottie Pippen are filled with references to the rapper's life experiences and the persona he has created for himself. The track begins with Curren$y claiming that he is not slowing down, and that he will continue to deliver powerful blows to anyone who tries to stand in his way. The rapper compares himself to Cobra Kai and Cobra Commando, two martial arts groups known for their ruthlessness and aggression.
Curren$y describes himself as a deadly venom-spitting snake, while dismissing his rivals as salamanders. He goes on to detail the various aspects of his lifestyle that are worthy of being filmed or documented, including his sexual encounters with women, his drug use, and his fashion sense. The rapper also claims that he is the real deal, while his rivals are mere imitations or reflections of himself.
The second part of the song shifts to Curren$y's reflections on his past experiences, including time spent in jail and the challenges he faced trying to make it in the music industry. He talks about his associates catching cases and the various altercations he has been a part of. Despite this, the rapper remains focused on making money and achieving success, even comparing himself to Babyface, a legendary R&B singer who became famous in the 1990s.
Line by Line Meaning
Showing no signs of letting up
I'm still going strong and won't stop anytime soon
Still kick you in the head like I think
I'll attack you when you're vulnerable, no mercy
You on the verge of getting up
When you're almost back on your feet, I'll take you down again
No mercy, Cobra Kai, Cobra commando
I won't show any mercy, like the ruthless martial arts groups Cobra Kai and Cobra Commando
Deadly venom spitting, niggas just a salamander
My words are powerful and harmful, while my opponents are weak and insignificant
Iโm living the life worthy capturing on camera, documented
My life is worth filming and documenting because it's extraordinary and exciting
How one of the last lives was deaded
How I caused someone's death recently
How I rolled up in the drop, how I rolled up that sticky
How I arrived in a fancy car and smoked high-quality marijuana
How I rolled with them women, elegant player, no sippinโ
How I was surrounded by attractive women and acted like a refined player without drinking
How I f*ck them to sleep?
How I have sex with them and exhaust them to the point of sleep
How I woke up out the building when I was finished
How I left the building discreetly after I was done with the women
Keep it G, them niggas not original they muthafucking house of mirrors
The people I'm surrounded by are not original and just reflect each other's opinions and behaviors
Not quite the image, Iโm on that Popeye spinach
I'm not what people expect, but I'm still strong and unstoppable like Popeye's spinach
Mama mai-tai sippin, she loves a square nigga
My mother is drinking a fruity cocktail and prefers a square, conventional man
But now she trying something different
But now she's experimenting with new things
Windy City Bulls, mention the Nets, wool jackets and sweats, Scottie Pippens
I'm talking about Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, wool jackets, and sweatpants, and I mention Scottie Pippen, a legendary basketball player
My description, high of that fuzzy green prescription
I'm a person who's high on a medical marijuana prescription
Lying if I said that I isnโt
I can't deny that I'm high, it would be a lie
If you looking for that nigga: I is him
If you're looking for me, I'm the one you're looking for
All eyes in this direction, a burden and a blessing
Everybody is watching me, and it's both a good and bad thing
Reporting live from the devilโs pad
I'm metaphorically speaking from a place of danger and temptation
Breakfast here: two titties, two plus and a turkey bacon sandwich
I'm having breakfast with two women and a turkey bacon sandwich
2 seeds with eggs and bread jelly
I have two children and the classic breakfast meal of eggs and jelly sandwiches
My hoes they rarely pop that pussy,
The women I'm with don't often dance suggestively
They put off in my Pontiac on Pirellis โ82 edition
Instead, they ride with me in my classic 1982 Pontiac with Pirelli tires
Spotters body squatting on sixes?
Are guys watching us and admiring our car?
Rather be counting stacks than stuck in the county, washing the dishes
I'd rather make money than be in jail, doing menial work
Or washing drawers in the pen ?
Or risking getting raped in prison
I had to go pay the correct correctional officer to walk him in
I had to bribe a prison guard to get someone I knew inside
Bail money on debt, come at my neck
I have debts to pay, and people are threatening me
Plus that boy cause that same place where him ? where he slept
Someone I know got caught and is now in the same place where he used to sleep
I issue eternal rest, sign up and be a subscriber
I'm causing people's death, and you can join the aftermath as a victim
The price of life that's so high that I must make sure I stay higher
The price of life is too high, so I need to keep myself high to forget about it
Stay with the purp out of piso?
Do you also have purple marijuana out of Puerto Rico?
Smacking as deep as needles
My words are sharp and painful, like needles
They run in the rock just like I play quarterback for the eagles
My enemies are running away from me as fast as the Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback
Rando donovan in the mic a
Someone random is rapping on the mic
โFore I picked up this mic I was hitting licks
Before I started rapping, I was committing crimes
Did dirt with plenty disciples
I had many people help me commit crimes
Iโm gang bang affiliated, federal investigated, self educated
I'm part of a gang, under federal investigation, and taught myself everything I know
All my co-conspirators catching cases
All of the people I worked with are getting arrested
I got straight out of college and I made it at home ?
I got successful straight out of college, without leaving my hometown
But believe I got the balls to clear up all of my altercations
But believe me, I'm courageous enough to solve all of my problems
Leave faces with operations, closed casket console
I cause people's deaths and leave them with only the option of a closed casket funeral
Tryna make million dollars, fuck a million downloads
I'm trying to make a million dollars, not just a million digital copies downloaded
But if that equal the same, smash it up and give me my change
But if it's the same amount of money, I'll take it and demand my change
I made a lane up in this game so niggas goinโ remember the name
I created a unique style and niche in the music industry, so people will always remember me
Gangsta Gibbs ho, two bitches cooking in the crib hoe
I'm Gangsta Gibbs, and two women are cooking in my house
Still push a bucket but I ride it like a Benz hoe
I'm still driving a cheap car, but I act like it's a luxury car
Tryna find a bridge ho, to slanging raps, from slanging weight
I'm trying to transition from selling drugs to selling music
Said the Fred the new age ? call me baby face
I have a new nickname, Fred, but I'm still as charming and handsome as ever

@GCodeEnterprises
wouldnt say he bodied him. nas' verse was just as sick. Let's check the highlights:
I woke up early on my born day; I'm 20, it's a blessing
The essence of adolescence leaves my body, now I'm fresh and,
My physical frame is celebrated cause I made it
One quarter through life some Godly-like thing created
...........
When I was young, at this I used to do my thing hard
Robbin foreigners, take their wallets, their jewels, and rip their green cards
Dipped to the projects flashing my quick cash and
Got my first piece of ass smokin blunts with hash
Now it's all about cash in abundance
N** I used to run with is rich or doing years in the hundreds
I switched my motto; instead of saying "fuck tomorrow"
That buck that bought a bottle could've struck the lotto
if anything. you can make an argument that nas' verse was better. I'm huge fans of both btw. Just being objective.๏ปฟ
@MatheDeath
@@MrRetroswag
One of the best verses ever spitten? It seems like you dont listen to hip hop that much right? This is not even the best verse on the track LMAO
You just think Gibbs did better because he went later and he was flowing better, but lyrically Curren$y owns this shit.
"No mercy, Cobra Kai, Cobra Commander
Deadly venom-spitting, niggas just a salamander
I'm living a life worthy of capturing on camera, documented"
"Them niggas not original, they muh'fuckin' House of Mirrors
Not quite the image
I'm on that Popeye spinach, Mama mai-tai sippin'
She loves a square nigga, but now she trying something different
Windy City Bulls, Mitchell & Ness wool jackets, some sweats and Scottie Pippens
My description, high off that fuzzy, green prescription"
Come on man.
@neek.
The song that got me into Gangsta Gibbs.
@eddymulliqi
yup same
@andremears86
Facts
@robinliengehlin1481
Been a fan of Gibbs since 2009, I love the fact that people that listen to Curren$y get put on Freddie, he always go harder than usual when rapping with C
@centralmanagement.3714
Facto this and Jeezy Do it for you.
@MELLWALT5000
Same here
@KrisTrinityLive
Gibbs word play on this is crazy
"Gang bang affiliated federal investigated, self educated, all my co-conspirators catching cases, i dropped straight outta college and majored in home invasion, believe I got the balls to clear up all of my altercations..."
He absolutley spazzed
@thedirshzone8218
The part right before too is so fire... " I issue eternal rest, sign up and be a subscriber
The price of life got so high that I must make sure I stay higher
Stay with the purp out of pee-zo, stay smackin' these geekers' needles
Stay runnin' the rock just like I play quarterback for the Eagles
Randall, Donovan, or Michael, 'fore I picked up this mic
I was hittin' licks with some Lords and did dirt with plenty Disciples"
@scatman87
Everyone absolutely bodied this track. Alโs beat is the perfect compliment to c$โs wordplay and imagery and gangsta gibbs brought the fucking heat man. Put himself on everyoneโs radar with that verse โ still push a bucket but I drive it like a Benz โ anyone can relate to that.
@schematicb5393
I'm pretty sure that's more rhyme scheme than wordplay, but it definitely was dope
