Something Else
Jadakiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Uhh) Definitely what they been waitin for (you already know, yeah)
At least a certain percentage of the world (uh-huh)
Anyway (hahahaha)
Can I talk my shit? (talk that shit)
Sure I can (talk that shit, talk that shit)
Cause ain't nobody gon' do nothin' about it anyway, a-ha-ha!
(Talk that shit, talk that shit, Jada talk that shit, oh!)
You could tell the way I stack my money (I'm somethin else!)
Nah, I ain't one of them dummies (I'm somethin else!)
Tre's, nick's, dimes and twenties (I'm somethin else!)
The way I get it in with the honeys (I'm somethin else!)

Yo, you know I love to style on ya, blue forty-caliber
Butterfly doors on the triple black challenger
And I'm still in and out, got it so I'm spendin' out
Dope boy, so I never have a problem in a drought
Don't take, too much work if you can't manage that
Just in case you run out of empties, use sandwich bags
Play with the hand you was dealt
That's why I ride the track 'til it melt
I could care less how you feel, how you felt
I done spent niggaz rent money on belts
Threesomes in the trunk, I'm fuckin' for the wealth
And the hood ask about me, I'm somethin' else

[Chorus]
You could tell the way I stack my money (I'm somethin' else!)
Nah, I ain't one of them dummies (I'm somethin' else!)
Tre's, nick's, dimes and twenties (I'm somethin' else!)
The way I get it in with the honeys (I'm somethin' else!)
Still representin' the block (I'm somethin' else!)
And you ain't got to tell me I'm hot (I'm somethin else!)
I'm exactly what they not (I'm somethin' else!)
Hahh (I'm somethin' else!) Ah-ha! (I'm somethin' else!)


C.T.E. nigga, yeah!
Yeah! Let's go

I ain't even did nothin', feelin' like I'm traffickin'
See these blood diamonds, sir, my chain African
Speakin' of my chain, yeah it need to get a job
Get the fuck up off my neck, Senator Barack
Whatever that you do, look, don't get caught
That stash get low, ya ass might get bought
Okay I'm over it, let's talk about somethin' else
I said I'm over it, I think I bought somethin' else
That's why I live e'ry day (day) like a thug holiday
Suffocate a nigga about mines, J. Holiday
Quick to make a movie 'bout my Doc Holiday
It's why I'm strapped three sixty five, even holidays, yeah!

[Chorus]

Yo, it hurts cause they know that I'm better, and they hate it
They came in with my whole style, and they made it
The dope boys love me in the hood, I'm they favorite
In the jails, niggaz is makin' bets I'ma say shit
Hands-on with certified G's
Have your whole family missin' for thirty five G's, please
I perfected my craft from a different aspect
So the bars is lethal and the voice is a asset
And as far as the people, they ain't finish the class yet
I'm beyond these feeble-mind rappers that half step
I don't carve the way, for these niggaz like Aztecs
I touch souls, somethin's felt; yeah, I'm somethin' else





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

In Jadakiss and Young Jeezy's song "Something Else," the rappers boast about their wealth and status in the music industry. They claim to be unique and unlike other rappers, and they use their success to further distance themselves from the competition. The lyrics are filled with references to material possessions, such as money, jewelry, and cars. The rappers also allude to their involvement in the drug trade, with lines like "Play with the hand you was dealt / That's why I ride the track 'til it melt." Overall, the song is a display of bravado and self-assuredness, as the rappers assert their dominance and excellence in the genre.


Aside from its lyrics, "Something Else" is notable for its production. The beat, produced by Big K.R.I.T., features a sample of the song "Crazy Horses" by The Osmonds. The sample is creatively manipulated to create a dark, moody atmosphere that perfectly complements the rappers' aggressive delivery. Additionally, the song features a catchy hook that repeats the phrase "I'm somethin' else!" This hook is repeated throughout the song and serves as a unifying element that ties everything together.
