God
Jeezy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a God in the hood, nigga
I'm a God in the hood, nigga
I'm a God in the hood, nigga
I'm a God in the hood, nigga

Young 5'8 tall like he 10 feet tall
Chopper make a nigga jump a 10 foot wall
Avian and gold bottles, this is hood royalty
No matter how broke, how rich
Nigga, never ever compromise your loyalty
Medusa head on my Versace robe
Standing on a pile of white bricks
Imagine crosses on the units
Stamps looking like a crucifix
Pure like the blood of Virgin Mary
Turn water to some wine, nigga
Plug just touchdown, met him at the Steak and Shake in Mount Zion nigga

I'm a God in the hood, nigga
I'm a God in the hood, nigga
I'm a God in the hood, nigga
I'm a God in the hood, nigga

Young 5'8 tall like he 10 feet tall
Chopper make a nigga jump a 10 foot wall
God shit, I'm on my Kanye
Bad bitch she my Kim K
Legend is that he made a million dollars
But the nigga really started with a four way
Whom shall I fear, nigga
The plug say it's no limits
I sent the man right here, nigga
Snatch a partner out of state pen
Hallejulah, amen
Put it on water from the sink
Hope it wash away the sin, nigga
The foe just touchdown
Met him at the Sand Trap West End, nigga

I'm a God in the hood, nigga
I'm a God in the hood, nigga
I'm a God in the hood, nigga
I'm a God in the hood, nigga

Young 5'8 tall like he 10 feet tall
Chopper make a nigga jump a 10 foot wall




Young 5'8 tall like he 10 foot tall
Chopper make a nigga jump a 10 foot wall

I give Jezzy props It took a lot of guts and balls to change his message and I am proud of him...He is transforming. I had a problem with him at first but now I embrace him.. He's evolving and thats whats more important

Lemroyal James

THE ONEΒ  Im in that mindframe and I agree with you but for the ignorant who is influenced by dumbdown music. I understand the powers of knowledge but what good is talking knowledge with no action. He met with the Honorable Minister Farrakhan and his change is the beginning. Dr. Khalid told me that the microphone is gold. being critical of our young is arrogance and our downfall...Im highly conscience, but at the same time the reality we face is being murdered at the hands of the police and the perpetual using of the 13th amendment to the constitution to manufacture slaves by the hand of the deceptive Justice system...if its not about trying to challenge that knowledge falls upon deaf ears.
