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.

Silence
Curren$y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down on that side of town, back where no funs around.
Back where I felt like me and everything you want to be.
Just flows so easily, some I think may call it free,
So cooooooooooooooooollllddddd,
So So Coooooooooooolllddd,
I can't believe you cooooooollllddd
So ooooooooooooooooooooo
Uh, yea
As the joint burns, o the point that it stinging my fingers,
Tracks my talk show platform...
Part Phil Donahue part Jerry Springer
Momma come when I bring her
She go where I send her.
Kept it trill from the beginning
From square 1 maintain square business
Don't concern yourself with my minglin' with other bitches
So crafty, mastered the flow Alaska cold,
Silent foot assassin approach.
High when I stroll,
Not even leaving foot prints in the snow
You know
Can't believe you cooooooolllllldddd
Soo ooooooooooooooo whooooooaaaa
So I see your face again, back where I've been travelin'
Time I think it seems, to have its grip on me.
Friends they say they call it for you,
No matter what I offer you.
Can't believe in history, living in this misery.
So cooooooooooooooooolllllddddd
So So cooooooooooollllldddd
I can't believe you cooooollllllllllllddd
So cooooooooooooolllllddddd
In this song, Curren$y reflects on his memories of a time when life felt easier and carefree. He describes feeling numb as he watches the sunset in a part of town where there seems to be no fun or excitement. However, he also acknowledges how effortless it was to be himself and express what he wanted to be during that period. He revels in the sensation of being so cold, almost as if he's enjoying the melancholic and isolating feeling that accompanies his thought process.
The second verse features McKenzie Eddy's rap, where she sits with Curren$y and smokes a joint. She compares the experience of smoking a joint to being on a talk show, describing how it creates an environment where you become your true self. McKenzie also acknowledges the bond she shares with Curren$y and how it has remained genuine from the beginning. She tells Curren$y not to worry about her mingling with anyone else, assuring him that their relationship is strong enough to withstand anything. She describes her flow as "Alaska cold," emphasizing the silence she brings when she walks, making her a "silent foot assassin."
Overall, the song elicits feelings of nostalgia and longing for a simpler, happier time, where one's dreams and aspirations flowed freely, and emotions were effortless to express. The song's slow, hypnotic beat and McKenzie Eddy's haunting vocals serve to reinforce the sense of loneliness and despair that the lyrics evoke.
Line by Line Meaning
So I see the setting sun and I get to feeling numb,
I feel a sense of detachment and numbness as I watch the sun setting.
Down on that side of town, back where no funs around.
I'm in an area where there's not much excitement or entertainment.
Back where I felt like me and everything you want to be.
I'm in a place where I feel more like myself and where others aspire to be like me.
Just flows so easily, some I think may call it free,
Things seem to come naturally and with ease, which some people may describe as freedom.
So cooooooooooooooooollllddddd,
It feels very cold and distant.
So So Coooooooooooolllddd,
It's incredibly cold and isolated.
I can't believe you cooooooollllddd
I'm surprised by how distant and cold you are.
So ooooooooooooooooooooo
It's just so incredibly cold and distant.
As the joint burns, o the point that it stinging my fingers,
The joint is burning my fingers and causing me physical discomfort.
Tracks my talk show platform...
My music is the foundation of my personal expression.
Part Phil Donahue part Jerry Springer
My style and persona are a mixture of these two famous talk show hosts.
Momma come when I bring her
My mother accompanies me wherever I go.
She go where I send her.
She follows my lead and does what I ask of her.
Kept it trill from the beginning
I've always been honest and true to myself and my roots.
From square 1 maintain square business
I've stayed true to my original intentions and goals, and conduct my affairs ethically.
Don't concern yourself with my minglin' with other bitches
Don't worry about who I'm spending time with or what I'm doing in my personal life.
So crafty, mastered the flow Alaska cold,
I've perfected my craft and my style is icy and cold like the state of Alaska.
Silent foot assassin approach.
I have a stealthy and deadly approach to my musical style, always moving silently but with purpose.
High when I stroll,
I'm under the influence of drugs as I walk around.
Not even leaving foot prints in the snow
My movements are so light and subtle that I don't leave any trace, like a ninja in the snow.
You know
You understand what I'm saying.
Can't believe you cooooooolllllldddd
I can't believe how distant and cold you are.
Soo ooooooooooooooo whooooooaaaa
It's just so incredibly cold and distant.
So I see your face again, back where I've been travelin'
I'm seeing you again in a place where I've been spending a lot of time lately.
Time I think it seems, to have its grip on me.
I feel like time has a strong hold over me, its passage is undeniable.
Friends they say they call it for you,
My friends tell me that you're looking for me.
No matter what I offer you.
Regardless of what I try to do for you, it's never enough.
Can't believe in history, living in this misery.
I can't believe how stuck I am in the past, living in this unhappiness and despair.
So cooooooooooooooooolllllddddd
It feels very cold and distant.
So So cooooooooooollllldddd
It's incredibly cold and isolated.
I can't believe you cooooollllllllllllddd
I'm surprised by how distant and cold you are.
So cooooooooooooolllllddddd
It feels very cold and distant.
