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.

The Hangover )
Curren$y Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hangover cause we hung out
Chicks know we party that's why
They love it when we come out
Have the time of your life
Before all yo time run out
Put them bottles on ice while
I'll roll another one up
Come through with that killer weed
Alfred Hitchcock in the zip lock
Zig Zags and a Jones soda
Let shorty twist one up for the pit stop
Scratch off, A.C. on
Windows up, new shit playin'
What you sayin'? Nathan
Dollar signs my only language,
Fluently speak it
And reject fools comin' in my lane with that weak shit,
That's how I keep it
The game in my pocket like a Nintendo D.S.
I left my last one on the jet
I got mistakes I make
So I don't lay down till the sunrise
We smoke and drink all night
Hangover cause we hung out
Chicks know we party that's why
They love it when we come out
Have the time of your life
Before all yo time run out (run out)
Put them bottles on ice while
I'll roll another one up
(Yeah, yeah)
I'm in a fire twips (Twips)
High as hell (Man)
I'm try'na nail
We can leave, find your cell
Lock my number in like you're takin' it for hostage
Try'na put you on the game
Maybe you should watch it
They takin' trips to asp.
And flyin' kites all in the tropics
Watch the Pistons against the Bulls
On the floor with the mascot
Dancin', fly as Helly Hanson's on our shoulder blades,
And we tip the waiter good
You can keep the change,
That's Italian go there
I'm born if you peep the change
I keep a little reefer in my sneaker
If we need the flame,
Drink until I gotta piss
Damn I got a lot of chicks
Take another sip of what I'm drinkin'
And I'm out of it
In "The Hangover," Curren$y sets the tone with the opening lines about smoking and drinking all night, leading to a hangover because of meeting up with friends. He acknowledges the party culture that he and his friends revel in, which is why "chicks" love their presence when they come out. Curren$y raps about living life to the fullest before running out of time, making it seem like he and his friends are always in the moment, laughing and drinking, and having a good time. While they are doing so, Curren$y rolls up another joint and basks in the sun, watching the world pass him by, without a care.
Line by Line Meaning
We smoke and drink all night
We spend our whole night smoking and drinking
Hangover cause we hung out
Our hangover is a result of spending time together
Chicks know we party that's why
Women are aware that we like to party
They love it when we come out
They enjoy our presence when we go out
Have the time of your life
Enjoy life to the fullest
Before all yo time run out
Make the most of your time before it's gone
Put them bottles on ice while
Chill the bottles while I prepare to roll another joint
I'll roll another one up
I'll prepare another joint for us to smoke
Come through with that killer weed
Bring some high-quality marijuana with you
Alfred Hitchcock in the zip lock
Marijuana is wrapped tightly in a plastic bag like a Hitchcock film
Zig Zags and a Jones soda
Supplies needed for rolling a joint and a drink to wash it down
Let shorty twist one up for the pit stop
Ask the woman to roll a joint for us during a break in our travels
Scratch off, A.C. on
Playing scratch-off lottery tickets while the air conditioning is running
Windows up, new shit playin'
Listening to new music with the car windows rolled up
What you sayin'? Nathan
What are you saying? Nothing much
Dollar signs my only language,
Money is my only concern
Fluently speak it
I am proficient in the language of money
And reject fools comin' in my lane with that weak shit,
I dismiss those who try to enter my space with lackluster behavior
That's how I keep it
That's how I maintain my way of life
The game in my pocket like a Nintendo D.S.
I control the game like a handheld game console
I left my last one on the jet
I lost my previous game on a private plane
I got mistakes I make
I'm not perfect and sometimes make errors
So I don't lay down till the sunrise
I don't go to bed until the sun comes up
I'm in a fire twips (Twips)
I'm under the influence of potent marijuana
High as hell (Man)
I am extremely intoxicated
I'm try'na nail
I am attempting to have sex
We can leave, find your cell
Let's go somewhere private to continue our activity
Lock my number in like you're takin' it for hostage
Save my number in your phone as if it's valuable
Try'na put you on the game
I want to enlighten you on how to play the game
Maybe you should watch it
Perhaps you should observe my actions
They takin' trips to asp.
They are traveling to Aspen, a popular skiing destination
And flyin' kites all in the tropics
They are flying kites while in tropical locations
Watch the Pistons against the Bulls
Watch the Detroit Pistons play basketball against the Chicago Bulls
On the floor with the mascot
Sitting courtside with the team's mascot nearby
Dancin', fly as Helly Hanson's on our shoulder blades,
We are dancing while wearing stylish Helly Hanson clothing on our shoulders
And we tip the waiter good
We generously give the server a good tip
You can keep the change,
You can keep the extra money as a tip
That's Italian go there
That's a good place to go, like an Italian restaurant
I'm born if you peep the change
I am able to live comfortably and financially stable
I keep a little reefer in my sneaker
I keep a small amount of marijuana in my shoe
If we need the flame,
If we need a lighter to smoke the marijuana
Drink until I gotta piss
I drink until I need to use the restroom
Damn I got a lot of chicks
I have many women interested in me
Take another sip of what I'm drinkin'
I take another drink of my beverage
And I'm out of it
I am becoming more intoxicated and possibly losing control
