DJ Envy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
[Intro/Chorus]
Yo, turn the club 'to a jungle gym
Matter fact girl get all under him
If you know any freaks act like one of them
Get crunk again, have fun again, dirty
Err'body leave ya guns in the cars
Get ya something staright or the bubbly
We ain't Bubba but it's finna get ugly
[Verse: King Jacob]
Yo, Vokal is so extreme
Strut up in the club wit the rest of the team
Thinking 'bout my dubs the compress is so mean
Got on blue and gray today, so fresh, so clean
Had to hide my eyes from the Disco beam
Just enough sight to find a Disco Queen
Just enough light to fire up this mo heat
Got just enough ice to not be low key
Look, I'm King Jacob you ain't gotta know me
But ya, you so real so you gotta know me
Addictive type and my baby moma OD
Descriptive writing made a million dollars for me
I'm just a Young Dude, young and doing young
Pursuing like them one dudes from St. Louis
Murph, come on dirty, where P, let's represent the turf (Youth City)
If you change in the game represent what we worth
[Chorus]
[Verse: Murphy Lee]
Hey yo I'm Murphy Lee the trouble maker
I'm in the club with my house shoes on
Don't like being in the house too long
Having dreams about buying the bar out
I don't own a dog so sometimes I got to let my cars out
Hit the lawn on my humble abode
My car dusty but it rassle the road
See I used to have "freetime"
Now my life like a "Nextel" and it's not "free OP" time
I'm three times, four minutes away
Peace to printed shirts for the LA in the ashtray
I ain't been in this car for a month
So I think I'm a call this a throwback blunt
Hit the corner bumping Old School, ready to drink
Cause my stomach full of Barbeque Tofu
I knew two people at the door
So I EIP, parked it and ordered some more
[Chorus]
[Verse: The Professor]
Hey wait, hey hey, hold up, is it my turn yet?
I been waiting the many let me introduce you to 'prentice
Plot - me in the club and it's 3 AM
With Murph and Jake so drunk I had to lean on them
Disgusted, I snapped myself up, this ain't no fun
I took a girl by the fat girl and smoke my one
High as can be, back on the scene, what do I see?
Dance flo' hiding her plan, they taking off things
Daisy Duke shorts unzipped with the thong inbetween
Girl, you got the fattest ass I ever seen
I give you, what you need dick, weed, but you gotta be clean
A fat ass ain't err'thing except if burning up slings
King I stumbled in to him, he still wanna drink
A thick chick took him away and gave gim head on the scene
Blinking, looked over my shoulder and tried to spot Murph
Spotted three dimes that swooped him up, Menage time
[Chorus]

Yo, Vokal is so extreme
My Vokal clothing is amazing and over-the-top
Strut up in the club wit the rest of the team
I'm walking in the club with my squad of friends
Thinking 'bout my dubs the compress is so mean
I'm proud of my cars and how they look lowered to the ground
Got on blue and gray today, so fresh, so clean
I'm wearing fresh and clean blue and gray clothing
Had to hide my eyes from the Disco beam
The disco lights were so bright I had to shield my eyes
Just enough sight to find a Disco Queen
I can see just enough to find a girl to dance with
Just enough light to fire up this mo heat
The light is perfect for some romance and passion
Got just enough ice to not be low key
I have some flashy jewelry but not too much to be lowkey
Look, I'm King Jacob you ain't gotta know me
I'm King Jacob, it doesn't matter if you don't know who I am
But ya, you so real so you gotta know me
But if you're real, you know who I am and what I stand for
Addictive type and my baby moma OD
I'm the type of person people get addicted to and my baby moma is overdramatic
Descriptive writing made a million dollars for me
My rap skills and vivid writing style helped me make a lot of money
I'm just a Young Dude, young and doing young
I'm still young and enjoying life to its fullest
Pursuing like them one dudes from St. Louis
I'm pursuing my dreams and working hard like other successful people from St. Louis
Murph, come on dirty, where P, let's represent the turf (Youth City)
Let's get our friend Murph and represent our city and neighborhood
If you change in the game represent what we worth
If you're making a difference, represent the value and worth of our community
Hey yo I'm Murphy Lee the trouble maker
I'm Murphy Lee, and I like causing trouble and being wild
I'm in the club with my house shoes on
I'm so comfortable and relaxed, I'm wearing my house shoes in the club
Don't like being in the house too long
I don't like staying indoors for too long
Having dreams about buying the bar out
I dream of owning the whole bar someday
I don't own a dog so sometimes I got to let my cars out
I don't have a dog to take out, so I take my cars out for a spin
Hit the lawn on my humble abode
I parked my car on my front yard
My car dusty but it rassle the road
My car is dusty but it still handles well on the road
See I used to have 'freetime'
I used to have a lot of free time to relax and do what I wanted
Now my life like a 'Nextel' and it's not 'free OP' time
My life is busy and fast-paced, like a Nextel phone and I don't have any free time
I'm three times, four minutes away
I'm close by and can arrive in four minutes
Peace to printed shirts for the LA in the ashtray
Shoutout to the printed shirts in my ashtray from Los Angeles
I ain't been in this car for a month
I haven't driven this car in a month
So I think I'm a call this a throwback blunt
I'm going to celebrate by smoking an old-school blunt
Hit the corner bumping Old School, ready to drink
I'm listening to classic Old School music and ready to have a drink
Cause my stomach full of Barbeque Tofu
My stomach is full of Barbeque Tofu that I just ate
I knew two people at the door
I recognized two people at the door of the club
So I EIP, parked it and ordered some more
So I used my VIP connections, parked my car, and got some more drinks
Hey wait, hey hey, hold up, is it my turn yet?
Hey, wait a minute, is it my turn to rap yet?
I been waiting the many let me introduce you to 'prentice
I've been patiently waiting, let me introduce myself as 'prentice
Plot - me in the club and it's 3 AM
Here's my story, I'm in the club at 3 AM
With Murph and Jake so drunk I had to lean on them
My friends Murph and Jake are so drunk that I had to lean on them for support
Disgusted, I snapped myself up, this ain't no fun
I'm not having fun, I'm disgusted with the situation
I took a girl by the fat girl and smoke my one
I found a girl to smoke with and hang out with
High as can be, back on the scene, what do I see?
I'm super high and back in the club, what catches my eye?
Dance flo' hiding her plan, they taking off things
A girl is dancing and slowly taking off her clothes
Daisy Duke shorts unzipped with the thong inbetween
She has unzipped Daisy Duke shorts and a thong on underneath
Girl, you got the fattest ass I ever seen
You have a really nice curvy butt
I give you, what you need dick, weed, but you gotta be clean
I can give you what you want - sex, weed, but you have to be hygienic
A fat ass ain't err'thing except if burning up slings
Having a big butt is nice but it's not everything, unless you're dancing to a certain type of music
King I stumbled in to him, he still wanna drink
I bumped into King Jacob, he's still drinking and having a good time
A thick chick took him away and gave gim head on the scene
A curvy girl took him away and gave him oral sex on the dance floor
Blinking, looked over my shoulder and tried to spot Murph
I blinked and tried to find where Murph was
Spotted three dimes that swooped him up, Menage time
I saw three beautiful women go to him and they're probably going to have a threesome
Chorus
