J.A.Z. (Justified and Zealous) Lyrics

And I know
I have a deep understanding or belief in something

That we all that we got
We only have each other and need to stick together

We still the same niggas from that one block yeah
Despite changes, we remain loyal and close to our roots

And I know
I have a deep understanding or belief in something

That we always keep it cool
We handle situations calmly and rationally

And We always keep a tool for those with loose screws
We are prepared to protect ourselves from dangerous individuals

I know
I have a deep understanding or belief in something

Go big never small
Always strive for greatness and never settle for mediocrity

If you ain’t gone do it right then don’t do it at all
If you are not going to do something properly, don't bother doing it at all

Shidd I know
I really do know and believe this

Yea this drink got me faded
I am feeling the effects of the alcohol I have consumed

Might be the drink talking but niggas is overrated
After drinking, I feel that people are overhyped and not as important as they are made out to be

I know
I have a deep understanding or belief in something

Tranna be head hancho
We are striving to be the boss or leader of our situation

Yea we gotta go get it
We need to work hard and strive for success

Can nothing prevent it
There is nothing that can stop us from achieving our goals

Got tired of keep my mouth closed
I am tired of staying silent and not expressing myself

Moms tried to keep me from outdoors
My mother tried to protect me from the dangers outside

Pull up wearing a poncho
I arrive wearing a raincoat to protect myself from the weather

Flashing that cheese for the rent
I show off my money to pay for my living expenses

Knowing that money is nachos
Understanding that money can quickly be spent and is not a permanent solution to financial problems

Awe man
Exclamation of surprise or exasperation

They really want attention
They are seeking recognition or validation from others

I just don’t get it
I don't understand their motivations or actions

Where did that get you
Questioning the effectiveness of the actions taken to gain attention

Don’t get me wrong
Do not misunderstand what I am saying

I’ll still shit on niggas yea
I will continue to assert my dominance over others

Gotta be made men
We need to become successful and respected individuals

Came from them basement
We started from the bottom and worked our way up

Its amazing
Expressing wonder or surprise at our journey so far

Came a long way from dealing and break ins
We have come a long way from engaging in illegal activities

Say prayer before I sleep
I engage in a religious ritual before going to bed

Praise the lord my soul to keep
Expressing gratitude and asking for protection

But that’s if I don’t wake
This prayer is only applicable if I do not die during my sleep

Cause I got hell to raise
Referring to the struggle and obstacles we face in our lives

Yeye
Exclamation of affirmation or agreement

Now I’m mixing toxins
I am now mixing different substances to create a harmful combination

Brown all gone white only option
I have used up all my money and am forced to use a cheaper, more dangerous option

Plenty problems like I stock em
I have many problems and they seem to accumulate and multiply

Her door open I been knocking
I am trying to gain access to someone's life or space

Riding through the city
Traveling through the city, likely with a sense of purpose

The ones I’m talking to
The people that we are addressing or engaging with

I hope they don’t ever resent me
I hope that our actions and words do not create negative feelings or animosity towards us

I know yo passion empty
I am aware that your passion or drive is depleted

Hand shakes I feel the envy
Interactions with others make me feel envious of their success or achievements

We a lot of something you not
We have qualities or experiences that others do not possess

Can’t waste the time looking at clocks
We cannot afford to waste time, and need to focus on our goals and objectives

And I know
I have a deep understanding or belief in something

That we all that we got
We only have each other and need to stick together

We still the same niggas from that one block yeah
Despite changes, we remain loyal and close to our roots

And I know
I have a deep understanding or belief in something

That we always keep it cool
We handle situations calmly and rationally

And We always keep a tool for those with loose screws
We are prepared to protect ourselves from dangerous individuals

I know
I have a deep understanding or belief in something

Go big never small
Always strive for greatness and never settle for mediocrity

If you ain’t gone do it right then don’t do it at all
If you are not going to do something properly, don't bother doing it at all

Shidd I know
I really do know and believe this

Yea this drink got me faded
I am feeling the effects of the alcohol I have consumed

Might be the drink talking but niggas is overrated
After drinking, I feel that people are overhyped and not as important as they are made out to be

I know
I have a deep understanding or belief in something
