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.

Success Is My Cologne
Curren$y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Knowing I'm a look
Cool in them
Black and white pictures
When they talk about
Underground rappers
Gettin high and making history
Claiming they as sick as me
They lying I checked your chart
Your file saying you soft
Something fishy hoe nigga
You more bass then boss
Off the boat small fries
And stowaways get tossed
Can't party on the shore with us fool
Get yo floaties up, kiddy pool nigga
Ain't really that cool
Can't follow these moves
You need more expensive shoes
Working out smoking strong
On a week long cruise
Bonfire with theses bitches
Singing songs to the moon
Too high to judge
Call my ex bitch that did foul shit
Fuck her brains out and settle the grudge
Back shot revenge style, ain't no love
Light grub, roll up after a quick scrub
Cover my tracks don't let my bitch know where I was
Sticking to the script thought I'm improvising a bit
Same as my OG's but I put the Jets in the mix
Classic like Eddie Murphy's SNL skits
Dead stock tissue in the box elephant print
On my flint 13's, no retro 3m reflective
Ya bitch tight recklessing my DM's
Sexting tryna see him
Smoke a J where he being but I got no time for company
I'm building one of them hunny
I know that's why you want me, success is my cologne
I spray that bottle all on me, yea, yea jet life
In the first verse, Curren$y talks about his fame and success, and how he will be remembered as a cool and suave rapper even in the future when people look at his black and white photos. The second part of the verse is directed towards other underground rappers who claim to be as sick as him but in fact are not. He is tired of these fakes and has checked their documents, which indicate that they are soft and not worth his time. Curren$y is a boss and they are simply small fries or stowaways who won't make it to the shore. He then talks about his lavish lifestyle involving week-long cruises, bonfires with women, and smoking strong marijuana. Despite his high life, he is still driven by revenge and will not hesitate to get back at those who have wronged him.
The second verse starts with Curren$y talking about his appearance and style, which is classic and timeless like Eddie Murphy's SNL skits. He then talks about his sneakers, specifically mentioning the Flint 13's that were popular in the early 2000s, and how he only wears dead stock (unworn) pairs with the rare elephant print tissue. Curren$y then switches to his love life, mentioning a woman who is trying to get with him despite his busy schedule of building wealth and success. He concludes the song by saying that success is his cologne, meaning his entire persona is built around his success and he wears it as a scent.

You are not welcome to party with us
Get yo floaties up, kiddy pool nigga
You need to swim with floaters in the shallow end
Ain't really that cool
You are not as cool as you think

Back shot revenge style, ain't no love
Having sex with her from behind with the intention of revenge, without love
Light grub, roll up after a quick scrub
Eating something light, then rolling a joint after taking a quick shower
Cover my tracks don't let my bitch know where I was
Hiding my whereabouts from my girlfriend
Sticking to the script thought I'm improvising a bit
Following my plan, but making some impromptu changes
Same as my OG's but I put the Jets in the mix
Similar to what the older generation used to do, but with my own twist
Classic like Eddie Murphy's SNL skits
Classic, like Eddie Murphy's Saturday Night Live sketches
Dead stock tissue in the box elephant print
Brand new clothes with elephant print, still in the box
On my flint 13's, no retro 3m reflective
Wearing my Air Jordan Flint 13s, without the retro 3M reflection
Ya bitch tight recklessing my DM's
Your girlfriend is sending me provocative messages on social media
Sexting tryna see him
Sending sexually explicit messages, trying to meet with me
Smoke a J where he being but I got no time for company
Smoking a joint where he is, but not wanting to hang out with anyone
I'm building one of them hunny
I am building a successful career
I know that's why you want me, success is my cologne
I know that is why you desire me, I exude success
I spray that bottle all on me, yea, yea jet life
I apply my success to myself, representing my lifestyle
