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.

Seat Change
Curren$y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody around this bitch got money,
We ain't never gon' run outta weed, yeah, look up
Holla a mountain out
Billa villa in here, pimp that's what I'm talkin' bout
Closed minded lil' children,
I write my way to a million, lookin' out the plane windows
For slippin' in my city get bitten, chewed, swallowed
Fool, what you think you like me
Your idol and your rival I be
Holdin' the title with the precision of a Honda's riffle
Shots fired, the forest too quiet, trees ignited
Fall back baby girl let me get high chick
Eagle droppin' it's the fly shit who gon stop him
On the ground I am like a quarterback attackin'
Defensive line men homie who gon' block em
Tearin' through the city
Snatchin' bitches top of the building
King Kong ain't got shit on me
25-8 goin' 8 for the cake nigga
King Kong ain't got shit on me
Wanna be pilots, get swatted out the sky around I
King Kong ain't got shit on me
Larger than life, they hate me because they ain't me
King Kong ain't got shit on me
Yea, came up put it down for my set what I did Jets nigga
Founder of a flier society raisin a partition so the driver won't bother me
Women wishin' for a position on either side of me
Hopin' for a free ride to the top with me
Spendin' my cheese, smokin' my broccoli
Dressed neat, left the hotel suite sloppy off the chopper tree
Upstate New York, Woodstock, Socrates
The view from my rockin' chair you would not believe
A million miles from New Orleans, left the key to the city
With my brother now I'm comin' back for it
Tearin' through the city
Snatchin' bitches top of the building
King Kong ain't got shit on me
25-8 goin' 8 for the cake nigga
King Kong ain't got shit on me
Wanna be pilots, get swatted out the sky around I
King Kong ain't got shit on me
Larger than life, they hate me because they ain't me
King Kong ain't got shit on me
The song "Seat Change" by Curren$y talks about his journey to success and the perks that come with it. The song starts with a reference to his record label, Jet Life, and the fact that everyone around him is wealthy enough to afford anything they want. He then talks about his ability to smoke weed endlessly, indicating that he never runs out of it. Curren$y then goes on to describe the closed-minded people who refuse to see his vision, but he focused on his dream and wrote his way to success. The rapper uses various metaphors throughout the song, likening himself to a quarterback attacking the defense line and an eagle soaring through the skies.
In the second verse, Curren$y talks about his luxurious lifestyle, spending money freely on himself and enjoying his success. He mentions his female fans hoping to ride his success to the top with him. The rapper then talks about traveling to upstate New York, where he takes in the scenic views from his rocking chair. He ends the song by reminding everyone that he is "larger than life," and many people hate him because they cannot achieve what he has achieved.
