Purple Haze
Curren$y ft Lloyd Trinidad Ja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't sip lean, but baby girl pour it up
Baby doll, I met her in H-Town
Counting paper like mine, baby girl a gold mine, fo' sho'
We can take it all over in no time
Bake up cake and go lay up, that's no lie
She like damn homeboy, you really living out your rhymes
I'm like yeah, that other shit ain't rap, that's fairy tales
Drug dealer fortress, got this from legal retail
Sitting on the porch, cone lit, flipping the torch
Seconds later after that I'm sitting in the Porsche
With the racing exhaust, I take your bitch away from you
She take some days off, I put them jams on, she take her clothes off
She perform for a Jet, put on for our set, I roll up the next
Purple haze, and codeine
And my baby girl, is all I need
Number nine, I'm on the fly
And I'm feeling so high, [?] don't pull me down
She pick me up and took me on a trip that I've never been
And when she looking up, baby girl I'm going in
She say, no-oh-oh, but I know you ain't shit
Your whip is just a slave ship, and I'm not no bitch to play with
You better watch your [?] play
I laughed when I took her back [?] serious
Cause her heart is very cold, and the warmth up in her soul
You ain't getting you no money? I say damn you broke
You ain't getting you no money? I say damn you broke
You ain't getting you no money? I say damn you broke
These riches never change, only the souls
They will leave you in the rain, no raincoat
She said she met Spitta, I guess the plane caught
[?] sweater, and the weed I bought
Play my heart, lay my heart
Play my heart, I had to let you know
Oh, kush got me gone
Feeling so high, got me so blown
And the shit that I'm on, is cloud number nine, but six be my song
Twenty-one guns, kissing on my lips, blowing smoke in my lungs
Twenty-one drums, the heat's on my side in case a nigga want some
But I don't wanna fuss or fight, I just wanna chill tonight
On this Jet Life, Life, Life
Drop a little pink in my Sprite
Pop another pill and take flight
On this Jet Life, Life, Life
In "Purple Haze," Curren$y and Lloyd Trinidad Ja celebrate a lifestyle of relaxation, indulgence, and abundance. The lyrics describe Curren$y's experience with a woman in H-Town (Houston) who shares his mindset and work ethic. He brags about his success and the consistency between his lyrics and real life. The song's title is a reference to the popular strain of weed that induces strong feelings of euphoria and creativity.
The opening lines of the song indicate that Curren$y is in the midst of smoking four one-ounce blunts, or "four-one done." While he doesn't drink lean himself (a reference to a popular cough syrup that is often mixed with soda or candy), he encourages his companion to pour up. From there, the lyrics celebrate the couple's sexual chemistry and their ability to make money and work hard while still enjoying life's pleasures.
One line that stands out is when Curren$y says, "Drug dealer fortress, got this from legal retail." This line acknowledges the connection between street drug culture and the mainstream retail industry, where companies profit off the same substances that are often demonized and criminalized in lower income communities. It also speaks to the success Curren$y has achieved through his music, which has allowed him to live luxuriously while maintaining a connection to his past.
