You know what I'm sayin', you can't let this shit get to you dog

The song “You Know” by Fabolous featuring Young Jeezy is about both rappers acknowledging their status as dominant forces in the rap industry. The song starts with Fabolous telling Jeezy to stay focused and reminded that the industry is not what it used to be. He encourages Jeezy to keep making hits as he has been doing, and let people know that he's still the “realest nigga alive”. Jeezy then comes in with his verse talking about his life, from sharing a room with roaches and rats, to selling drugs, to making music that people can connect with. He ends his verse by saying, “ask about me in the city, I'm the motherfuckin' man.”
Fabolous comes back with the chorus, reminding everyone that they are “so fly” and “fuckin' with a gangsta tonight”. The second verse starts with Jeezy describing himself as “ya hoods last hope” and the “El' Capitan”, meaning the leader. He mentions how he lives above the war and hustles down the street. He talks about the struggles of the drug industry, how he invested in his music and ultimately made a name for himself. The song then ends with a repetition of the chorus.
Overall, the song is an anthem for their success and dominance in the music industry, as well as a way to remind their listeners that they are still the “realest nigga alive” and “the motherfuckin' man”.
