In 2007, Jacquees was introduced to his manager, Orlando Grind, by Dexx Lee. After years of performing in local talent shows, Orlando soon introduced him to Russell "Block" Spencer, founder and CEO of Block Entertainment. When Jacquees started going to the studio he merely blended with the team and wasn't given the opportunity to express his true talents. "When you see work being done around you but not for you, you tend to get discouraged," says Jacquees. At that time, Block's focus was only rap, not R&B. It wasn't until summer of 2009 when Block witnessed how talented Jacquees was and shifted his vision. Jacquees began to work closely with Block Entertainment recording and gaining more exposure with the release of his first single "Krazy" featuring Grand Hustle's own, T.I.
Jacquees has recorded with label mates, Gorilla Zoe and Scotty, T.I.P, and an upcoming Atlanta rapper, J-Real. Jacquees dreams to work with established artist Lil Wayne, Drake, Justin Bieber, Bow Wow, Lil' Chuckee, Chris Brown, and many more. "All of these artists started out at the age I am and are successful in the industry. I look up to them and dream that I will be just as successful as they are," Jacquees explains. "Only better!"
"It's truly a blessing to have the opportunity to work with the artist and producers I have already worked with," says Jacquees. "I pray to God every night that I continue on this journey and achieve what I've always dreamed of doing. With God on my side, I know this is only the beginning and there is more to come." With that in mind, Jacquees will achieve any and everything he wants out of the music industry.

Ooh, ooh, yeah
I gotta ride with my gun on safety
So I don't go shootin' where your nigga be
Girl you dodging bullets tryna play me (you know it)
Then I'm left to deal with how you made me
You got me runnin' around and I never chase it (yeah)
Your face so pretty to me, makeup ain't make it (nah)
Your face so pretty to me, makeup can't make it
But I think that I'm done trippin', I'm trip-trippin' (woah, woah, right)
I've been sippin', that's how I control (woah, right, right, woah)
This feelin', you keep givin' (woah, right, yeah)
And I keep on hittin' it, you know (woah)
I could be the perfect young nigga for ya (alright)
Baby girl, your love got me trippin' on you (alright)
You know my love is big enough, got you trippin' on me (what)
Yeah it's big enough got you trippin' on me
Trip, trippin' on me
My bad, it's your bad, for you trippin' on me (trippin' on me, yeah, what, right)
My bad, it's your bad, for you trippin' on me (trippin' on me)
Girl, it ain't cool how you be playin' (what, right, yeah)
And I don't dig how you keep me waitin' (talk to 'em, Jacquees)
Your feelin's switch up too much, girl it's confusing
'Cause you tell me we're friends, then the next time I'm a friend with an end
I done put in work, fucked up, came back again (what, right)
I jumped in the booth, I don't need a pad or a pen to say how I feel
I can't keep bottlin' it in, I'm addicted to you
Your love, I gotta get
We got a whole lot of love, ain't tryna waste it (woah)
You got me runnin' around and I never chase it (shit feel good)
Your face so pretty to me, makeup ain't make it (Ella Mai)
Your face so pretty to me, makeup can't make it (right)
But I think that I'm done trippin', I'm trip-trippin' (what)
I've been sippin', that's how I control (alright)
This feelin', you keep givin' (right)
And I keep on hittin' it, you know (what, what)
I could be the perfect young nigga for ya (right, right, well alright)
Baby girl, your love got me trippin' on you (on you)
You know my love is big enough, got you trippin' on me (yeah, alright)
Yeah it's big enough got you trippin' on me
Trip, trippin' on me
My bad, it's your bad, for you trippin' on me (trippin' on me)
My bad, it's your bad, for you trippin' on me (trippin' on me)

The song "Trip" by Jacquees is about a girl who is playing games with him, making him feel confused and uncertain about their relationship. He feels like he has a lot of love to offer, but doesn't want to waste it on someone who isn't fully committed to him. He also acknowledges that he's been drinking to cope with the situation, but he's ready to work through it and be with her.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I think that I'm done trippin', I'm trip-trippin'" which could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could mean that he's done being confused and is ready to make a decision about their relationship, or it could mean that he's finally sobering up and seeing things more clearly. The line "Got a whole lot of love, ain't tryna waste it" emphasizes that he has a lot to offer and wants to make sure that it's not being taken for granted.
The rap section towards the end of the song addresses some of the specific ways that she's been playing games with him, such as telling him they're just friends one minute and then acting like they're more than that the next. Despite this, he's willing to put in the work to make it work, and he acknowledges that his feelings for her are too strong to just walk away.

I'm here because I wanted to see if the song wasn't still available on YouTube. Thank God I had the song saved when they made him take it down. I'm confused because he does these remixes to many artists song.
