Put On
Jay-Z (feat. Young Jeezy) Lyrics

I put on, I put on, I put on, I put on
I represent and showcase for my city relentlessly

I put on for my city, on on for my city
I represent and showcase for my city constantly

When they see me off in traffic, they say "Jeezy on some other shit"
When people see me in my car, they know I am someone exceptional

Send them pussy niggas runnin' straight back to the dealership
I intimidate those who can't handle me, causing them to retreat

Me I'm in my spaceship, thats right I work for N.a.s.a
I feel like I'm in another world, and am higher than the average person

This 7H is not a fraud, call that bitch my bodyguard
The car I'm in is real luxury and protection

Call that bitch your bodyguard? Yeah, that's my bodyguard
I have high-end security that is essential for my lifestyle

Wear a lot of jewelry, Young don't do security
I am flashy with my possessions and don't feel a need for extra security

What's whiter than a napkin, harder than a dinner plate
I'm referencing cocaine being highly valuable and in high demand

If you want it come and get it, you know I stay super straight
If you're interested, come and find me, I'll be available

Ran up in my spots and now I'm workin' Out the Super 8
I've been through hardship, but now I'm working hard at a motel

Know you niggas hungry, come and get a super plate
I'm offering a lot if you're willing to work for it

Y'all sing happy birthday, yeah I got that super cake
I am rich and can afford to offer grand gestures

Hundred karat bracelet, I use it like some super bait
My expensive possessions attract attention and admiration, like bait for fish

[Chorus: x2]
The chorus repeats about representing for the city

Half bag, top back, Ain't nothin' but a young thug
I'm tough and raw, with a rebellious attitude

HKs, AK's, I need to join a gun club
I have access to high-powered guns and possibly illegal activity

Big wheels, big straps, You know I like it super sized
I prefer big and bold things, including cars and weapons

Passenger's a red-bone, Her Weave look like some curly fries
My passenger is an attractive woman with curly hair extensions

Inside fish sticks, outside tartar sauce
I'm eating fast food, and making a joke about it

Pocket full of celery, Imagine what she tellin' me
I have money in my pockets and possible romantic interest from a woman

Blowin' on asparagus, The realest shit I ever smoked
I'm smoking weed and acting like it's the best thing ever

Ridin' to that Trap or Die, The realest shit I ever wrote
I'm listening to my own music and feeling like it's the most authentic thing out there

They know I got that broccoli, So I keep that glock on me
I have access to the drug trade and keep a gun for protection

Don't get caught without one, Comin' from where I'm from
I'm from a dangerous place and know to always be prepared

Call me Jeezy Hamilton, Flyin' down Campbellton
I am fast and powerful, just like Alexander Hamilton, in his monetary politics

So fresh, so clean, On my way to Charlene
I'm looking really good and on my way to see someone named Charlene

[Chorus: x2]
The chorus repeats again

I feel like there's still niggas that owe me checks
I feel like I'm owed money by certain people

I feel like there's still bitches that owe me sex
I feel like there are women who haven't given me the attention I deserve

I feel like this but niggas don't know the stress
I'm dealing with a lot of pressure and difficulties that others may not understand

I lost the only girl in the world that know me best
I lost the girl who understood me better than anyone else

I got the money and the fame and that don't mean shit
Having money and fame isn't everything, and doesn't always bring happiness or satisfaction

I got the Jesus on a chain, man that don't mean shit
Even having a religious symbol doesn't always bring peace or fulfillment

Cause when the Jesus pieces can't bring me peace
Even having a physical reminder of faith doesn't always provide peace of mind

Sure I need just at least one of Russell's nieces on
I'm still looking for love and hoping to find it soon, possibly with Russell Simmons' nieces

I let my nightmares go I put on, Everybody that I knew from the go
I choose to wear a confident facade, despite my fears and problems

I know hoes that was frontin' when they knew he was broke
I know women who acted like they weren't interested in me when I was poor

They say damn, Yeezy Yeezy, you don't know us no more
People are upset that I've changed since becoming famous

You got that big fame homie, and you just changed on me
People think I'm different now that I'm famous and successful

You can ask big homie, man the top so lonely
Being successful can be lonely and isolating, as even your closest friends may not understand your struggles

I ain't lyin', so lonely I ain't lyin'
I'm seriously stating that being at the top can be lonely

Let me see what we have tonight (what we have tonight)
I'm curious about what tonight has in store

I'm high as a satellite (satellite)
I'm very high, perhaps on drugs

I see those flashin' lights (flashin' lights)
I see police lights, suggesting trouble or danger

Cause every night (every night) I put on
I maintain my confident facade every night, despite difficulties or insecurities
