Seen It All
Jeezy/JAY Z Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I said you already know nigga, you ain’t gotta flow
Before rap, Young really got dough
Before rap, Young really seen snow
In the kitchen β€˜bout to make some magic
Then blow it all in Magic, pull up to my partner in traffic
Gave it to him, it was all in plastic
All I know, I ain’t tryna go to jail
Heard that shit closest thing to hell
When it's stepped on make it hard to sell
When you been where I been, make it hard to fail
'Cause I’m the realest nigga in this
Y’all know it first nigga hitting Magic in that 6-45
Valet say "Jizzle nigga, stay in new shit"
But everybody back back β€˜cause that nigga can’t drive
Doors open up I emerge with ten chains
Even back then they was calling me ten chains
Ask me what I spent, I tell β€˜em it’s no thing
Even if I had to add it up, it’da cost like ten things
We used to take a little show money just to throw money
If it’s on the floor nigga, its the floor money
If you brought it out to blow, when you got it from the blow
Then that’s why the fuck they call that shit blow money
Still the realest nigga in this, y’all know it
Kept it one hundred β€˜til the day I came through
My nigga hit me up saying β€œgoing out of town”
So I threw him fifty thou, told him β€œbring me back two”
Not only had my fingers crossed, I prayed
Called this little piece up, got laid
Then he walked in, threw them both on the table said
β€œFuck that shit, young nigga get paid”
Then I whipped the Benzo on Lorenzo
Stay down, nigga you don’t talk, like ten toes
Hoes see me in this big pretty mothafucka
Bet I leave the parking lot with about ten hoes

I done seen it all
Yay stack seven feet tall
Swear it look white like a wall
What you know about thumbing through the hundreds, twenties, and the fifties
Spending tens and the fives at the mall?
I done seen it all

20/20 Pyrex vision
Catch a contact standing next to my kitchen
Hear the 20s, 50s, hundreds, the money machine clickin'
And my Rollie ain't tickin', I ball
I done seen it all

Uncle died on the spot
Pop killed the family with heroin shots
Gave my life to the block
Figured, I get shot 'least I die on top
I came alive in the drop
Big body all white shit looked like a yacht
I got β€˜em five grand a pop
I had a plug in Saint Thomas on a trillion watts
Flew him back to the States, park 92 bricks in front of 560 State
Now the Nets a stone throw from where I used to throw bricks
So it's only right I'm still tossing β€˜round Knicks
Probably brought your auntie a couple bags
I probably front your uncle a couple halves
I was in the S-Class you was just in class
You know I was finna blow like a meth lab
Expanded the operation out in Maryland
Me and Emory Jones in the caravan
Took the show on the road out in VA
Dropped a couple off with Rolla in the PA (Real Rolla!)
Plug got shot started slowing up
Took a trip down to see how he was holding up
The wars on now he got shot again
This time he was gone for good then we got it in
Emory got knocked we was down 10
The whole team hot, walls closing in
Niggas can’t tell me shit about this dope game
'Bout this cocaine, man I done seen it all

Yay stack seven feet tall
Swear it look white like a wall
What you know about thumbing through the hundreds, twenties, and the fifties
Spending tens and the fives at the mall?
I done seen it all

20/20 Pyrex vision
Catch a contact standing next to my kitchen
Hear the 20s, 50s, hundreds, the money machine clickin'




And my Rollie ain't tickin', I ball
I done seen it all

Overall Meaning

In Jeezy/JAY Z's song Seen It All, the lyrics portray the life of a drug dealer who has been through it all. Young Jeezy, who has been in the drug game since before his days as a rapper, begins by saying that he's a successful dealer who doesn't need to rap about his life since he has already lived it. He talks about cooking up drugs and selling them to his partners like it's an everyday job. He speaks of the pressures of being a drug dealer, with going to jail being the closest thing to hell. He's seen the worst in the business and is one of the realest men involved. He tells of his luxurious parties, flashy cars, and ostentatious jewelries, but he knows that everything can come to an end.


The second verse of the song focuses on the experiences of JAY Z as a drug dealer. He talks about his family members and loved ones dying from drug abuse and overdose. JAY Z describes his trade as an inevitable part of his life and his means to wealth. The lyrics mention his connection to Saint Thomas, his various business endeavours and travels, and the risks that come with such an enterprise. The song concludes by realizing that drug-dealing is not something that one brags about or glorifies. It's a dangerous game that can have serious consequences, and only the truly experienced understand it.


Overall, the song is a gritty but honest reflection of the realities of the drug trade. It's about the ways in which people get pulled into the dangerous world of drugs, and how it can ultimately come to define someone's life.

We dropped off some drugs with a man named Rolla in Pennsylvania


Plug got shot started slowing up
Our drug supplier got shot and our supply began to slow down


Took a trip down to see how he was holding up
We took a trip to check on him and see how he was doing


The wars on now he got shot again
The drug war was in full swing and our supplier got shot once more


This time he was gone for good then we got it in
This time, he died and we took possession of the drugs


Emory got knocked we was down 10
My friend Emory was arrested and we were in a difficult situation


The whole team hot, walls closing in
We were all in trouble and things were getting more difficult


Niggas can’t tell me shit about this dope game
No one can teach me anything about the drug trade


β€˜Bout this cocaine, man I done seen it all
I've experienced everything when it comes to cocaine and the drug trade

Love to say Jizzle nigga, stay in new shit
Where everybody black back 'cause that nigga can't drive
Doors open up I emerge with ten chains
Even back then they was calling me ten chains
Ask me what I spent, I tell 'em it's no thing
If I had to add it up, it'da cost like ten things

If you brought it out to blow, and you got it from the blow
Then that's why the fuck they call that shit blow money
Still the realest nigga in this, y'all know it
Carrying one hundreds 'til the day I came through
Nigga hit me up saying "going out of town"
So I threw him fifty thou, told him "bring me back two"
Not only got my fingers crossed, I prayed
Called this little piece up, got laid
Then he walked in, threw them both on the table said
"Fuck that shit, young nigga get paid"
Then I whipped the Benzo on Lorenzo
Stay down nigga you don't talk like ten toes
Hoes see me in this big pretty mothafucka
Bet I leave the parking lot with about ten hoes

[Hook - Jeezy:]

This still gets played in 2018. If you are of a certain calibre, this song resonates with you in a way that most people just can't understand. It doesn't just speak to people in the trap. Its about people coming up from difficult situations, going through good and bad times, but still pushing forward towards their goals. No matter your circumstances; get up, give thanks, go hard.
