"100$ Bill"
Jay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Benjamin Franklins filled, folded just for the thrill
Go numb until I can't feel, or might pop this pill
Stock markets just crash, now I'm just a bill
History don't repeat itself it rhymes, 1929 still
Write like Mark Twain, Jay Gatsby, I park things
Yellow cars, yellow gold like Slick Rick
Four-four's at the 4-0, (Wait), for O
Dollars fall on the skin, some might call it sin
Politicians all move for money, what the hell are we callin' them?
Low life, I'm crawlin' out, 911 I Porsched it out
Y'all niggas so hypocrites, y'all know what this shit is all about
100 dolla, 100 dolla bill real, uh
New heroines, new Marilyns
Move coke through Maryland
Through Easton, oh you beastin'
Move fat packs, Jack Gleason
The honeymoon's over with the streets, yeah
Least see my kids on the weekend
Carter, new Kennedy
No ordinary Joe, you'll remember me
No prohibition for my coalition
Colin Powell, general admission
You're all welcome, new Malcolm of the talcum
By any means, AK lookin' out the window screen
Let's get it on, new Marvin
Who wanna become my 100th problem?
Semi-automatic or revolver, semi-automatic I'll solve em
Einstein, my mind, this MC move white squares with my relatives
That cheese made us constipated couldn't tell us shit
Took that, Taylor Swift to a hundred fucking million, bitch
I'mma let ya’ll continue but haha
I need a 100 bricks on them 100 blocks
I got a 100 drops, took 100 cops, uh
100 blocks, I need a 100 bricks on them 100 blocks, uh
Decade of decadence, ill reverence, irreverence
Decade of decadence, ill reverence, ill reverence
Uh, young, uh
I need a 100 bricks on them 100 blocks
I got a 100, I got a 100 drops
Need a 100, got a 100
Got a 100, 100, uh
100 dollar bill, real
In "100$ Bill", Jay-Z, one of the most successful and influential rappers of all time, uses a variety of powerful imagery and metaphors to examine themes including greed, corruption, and the relentless pursuit of success. Throughout the song, Jay-Z drops several famous names and references to history and pop culture, drawing comparisons between his own rise to the top and the various players and events that have shaped the world around him.
The opening lines of the song reference the iconic American symbol of wealth and success, the hundred dollar bill, and the famous face that graces it, Benjamin Franklin. Jay-Z compares himself to the powerful figure on the bill, "folded just for the thrill", as he navigates the ups and downs of the rap game. He also references drug use, with lines like "Go numb until I can't feel, or might pop this pill", highlighting the dangers and temptation that come with fame and fortune.
As the song progresses, Jay-Z references past economic crises, including the stock market crash of 1929, and suggests that history is doomed to repeat itself. He name-drops Mark Twain and Jay Gatsby, two figures associated with the American Dream and the pursuit of wealth and success. He also introduces references to current events, including politicians who are easily swayed by money, and takes a swipe at his own peers in the rap world, calling them out as hypocrites who are only interested in chasing money and fame.
