1. Jay-J, born in Ham… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists with this name.
1. Jay-J, born in Hamme Belgium on November 20th 1984 as Gwen Dhanis, has always been passionate about music. However, in his teens Jay-J never imagined that he could become a musician, the world of glamour and fame felt unreachable for him. So thru out high school Jay-J decided to focus on his second passion, becoming a chef. After learning the ropes, Jay-J graduated from high school in 2003. Jay-J immediately started to work in a Belgium restaurant and worked day and night to become a chef. Still Jay-J wanted to learn different cuisines and he decided to move to Italy, there he even won an award for his cooking. A few years later Jay-J got an offer to become a chef in France, world famous for his haute cuisine. After his time in France Jay-J decided to come back to Belgium to work in a friends’ restaurant. Shortly afterwards, inspired by his friend, Jay-J entered a Belgian Beauty competition called Mister Vlaanderen. During this competition though Jay-J realized that this wasn't really his thing, but it gave him the chance to perform again as a singer on stage. Jay-J re found his first passion, music, and he started to practice it again in his free time. Being inspired by great artists like Michael Jackson, Marvin Gaye, Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake and many more, Jay-J listened carefully how he could learn from them. It was about the same time that Absolute P management and Mtv Belgium aired a commercial for the new reality show 'The Project’, looking for a new and hot R&B star. This would be Jay-J's chance to try making it in the music business. But The Project wasn't only a singing competition; it was a very hard learning process in becoming a real artist. After a business trip to Konvict Muzik (Akon's label) organized by manager Muls Peter, it became very clear that Jay-J would become the winner of The Project. Jay-J stood out during The Project’, not only as a great singer but also as a great person that never gives up and someone that has the mentality to make it , megastar Akon himself congratulated Jay-J on his excellent mentality and talent . In March 2009 Jay-J signed his first ever record and management deal, and on June 12th 2009 Jay-J released his first single Body to Body , including a great big budget video Jay-J also recorded his first album , set for release in October 2009.

Jay-J Lyrics

I'm the richest in my hood and that's a big fact
Politickin' like a chick so he got bitch slapped
These VV's on my Cartier's got me lookin' like my wrist fat
Put you in a box and send you to your mother gift wrapped
And I don't read no hate comments 'cause half them lil' niggas pussy
Right now I'm just standin' at the edge, hopin' that somebody push me
All I talk is money, it makes sense why you misunderstood me (yeah, yeah)
Only time I be movin' sloppy is when she be givin' me toppy
When you rich, you gotta watch the way you talk 'cause they gon' think you cocky
Greatness is where I'm headed so I'm the only person that can stop me
You could never get one up on me, karma my bitch, I know she got me
But it's all good, I'll let you think you got one up on me
I'ma just lay back and let my killers keep you company
Learn how to trace this call so when I violate, they don't come for me
Backdoor, you didn't come back around, just 'cause you try to fuck with me, oh-oh
Got me on my tip toes while you was on your knees
I'll do everything I can, I play my role and then you leave
If I let you back in my life again, I'm stupid as could be
And I could show you how to play a bitch, just do it just like me (oh, oh)
Do it just like me
And I know you tryna be like me
But you can't do it just like me (you can't do it just like me)
When shit get hot and you gotta move low, you could do it just like me
Don't you doubt yourself, adjust your crown and do it just like me (oh, oh)
I thought I told you I ain't someone you can fuck with
Yeah, karma a bitch, but she my bitch and your mother suck dick
Pull up to Toronto contemplatin' how I snuck shit in
And I ain't talkin' 'bout no legal shit
The hate, I always feel it in the air on some Beanie Siegel shit
Iced out Cartiers with tinted lens and I still be peepin' shit
I put shit inside my system, I know I probably shouldn't
I told shawty, I'll hold it down even though I knew I couldn't
Cops knockin' on my door while I had the choppa, but I know where to put it
And I put you in position to win but you fucked it up and couldn't
Put some money on his head 'cause I'll look stupid if I wouldn't
I move notorious like B.I.G. (B.I.G.)
I do this shit for Brooklyn (I do this shit for Brooklyn)
Had me on my tip toes while you was on your knees
I'll do everything I can, I play my role and then you leave
If I let you back in my life again, I'm stupid as could be
And I could show you how to play a bitch, just do it just like me (do it just like me)
Do it just like me
And I know you tryna be like me
But you can't do it just like me (you can't do it just like me)
When shit get hot and you gotta move low, you could do it just like me
Don't you doubt yourself, adjust your crown and do it just like me
If you don't know who to do it like do it just like me (do it just like me, oh, oh)
They tryna do it just like me (do it just like me)
Do it just like who?
Do it just like me (oh, oh)
They tryna do it just like me (they tryna do it just like me)
The lyrics to Jay-J's song Just Do It depict a night out at a club with the intention of hooking up with someone. The song starts with the lines "That's the way the game is played" which sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer and his friends are hanging out at the entrance of the club smoking and looking for a girl to hook up with. They spot a girl from the street and decide to spend some time with her before leaving soon after.
In the chorus, the singer talks about going inside the club with the girl and ordering drinks at the bar. He asks the girl to "just do it," which in this context means to hook up with him. He also refers to himself as a "powerful" and strong "wolf," suggesting his dominance in the club scene, and warns the girl not to mess with him.
The second verse talks about how the singer is not concerned with what other people think about his behavior or language. He talks about hooking up with a girl who might not be perceived to be of his status or race, but he is not bothered because it is all about enjoyment.
Overall, the lyrics to Just Do It glorify casual sexual encounters without much regard for the people involved, as well as a disregard for others' opinions or judgments.

This is how things work in this social scenario

We are hanging out in the club
(Отвисаем в клубе)
We are hanging out in the club
Отвисаем в клубе
We are hanging out in the club
Стоим у входа и курим
We stand at the entrance and smoke
Ловлю телочку с улиц
I'm approaching a girl from the street
Пробудем чуть-чуть и срулим
Let's hang out for little bit and then leave
Заходим с нею внутрь
We're going inside with her
Стоим у бара: ""Че будем?""
We're standing at the bar and asking, "what are we gonna do?"
Наливаем самбуку, колдуем
We pour some sambuca and play around
Детка, делаем это, just do it
Baby, let's do it, just do it
Девочка, дай мне, прошу, мне же некуда больше идти
Girl, give me a chance, it's not like I have anywhere else to go
Я буду смотреть бесконечно, как крутишь ты, зайка, свои бигуди
I'll watch endlessly, how you spin your curls, bunny
Открой только дверь
Just open the door
Не бойся, я зверь
Don't worry, I'm an animal
Тебя защищу
I'll protect you
Клянусь, не прощу
I swear, I won't forgive
Я мощный волчара - я волк
I'm a powerful wolf
И каждый слабак здесь умолк
Every weakling here shuts up
Я родом оттуда, не знаю откуда
I'm from there, I don't know where
Мой брат мне сказал, что он барракуда
My brother said he's a barracuda
(ммм)
Hmmm

Ay ay ay

Суки не видят, как нигер тусует
Bitches don't see how a n***** is moving
Я не балдею, но все еще будет
I'm not excited yet, but it's gonna happen
Хватит пиздеть, я вижу малую
Stop talking too much, I see a girl
Это любовь, но по правде в пизду ее
It's love, but truthfully, f*** it
Суки не видят, как нигер тусует
