Fitting in with the Southern style so popular in the current age, Jeezy raps frequently about his experiences selling drugs in the streets of Atlanta. His album "Thug Motivation 101" features several songs whose choruses and lyrics overtly reference his criminal past, such as "Trap Star," "Trap or Die," and "Go Crazy."
The same album also features a song dedicated to his former partner Mad Lou, who is currently incarcerated.
R.I.P
Jeezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drank patron out the bottle almost killed a thug
Right now I'm so high I can't feel the drugs
Too many haters in here, I don't feel the love
R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P we just killed the club
Took patron to the head almost killed a thug
I'm in a brand new drop top 'Rari with three bitches
And I hit up every club in your city, where niggas at?
I be in every club in the hood, where niggas at?
Pull up, jump out stuntin like I was Baby
On my cocaine cowboy shit, like in the 80's
Who the nigga think he is Slick Rick or Dana Dane
Think he Rakim or somethin, look at his chain
Myself, from head to toe, I'm Dougie Fresh
Looking like I came to play, Mitchell and Ness
Any nigga with a watch like that, he need attention
Your man don't ball out like that, you need to bench him
R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P we just killed the club
Took patron to the head almost killed a thug
R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P we just killed the club
Took patron to the head almost killed a thug
I'm gone, don't know where I'm going
Pockets on extra big, they on Samoan
Got some bad bitches all in my section, just let some more in
And every nigga came in with me'll kick your door in
Roll up, pass it around like we Jamaican
Whole pounds strapped up in this bitch like we some Hatians
She got good head, good brains, good education
I'm drunker than a motherfucker, here's the situation: 1:45 am, the nights broken
By the time a nigga get to the crib, the mall open
Man the nerve of this high-ass bitch, she on the molly
She said she she want me to call her Ms. Berry, she think she Halle
R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P we just killed the club
Took patron to the head almost killed a thug
R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P we just killed the club
Took patron to the head almost killed a thug
Got a pocket full of Dead Prez
Attached to your girl like a .jpeg
Party scene turn to a murder scene
Keep shittin on niggas, need potty train, turn up, collard green
I'm on gasoline and I'm on that promethazine
Life ain't nothin but a G thing
Switch lanes, get brain, hand down her g-string
I'm the type of nigga thats built to last
You fuck with me, Ill put my foot in your ass
I got a million in stash, I stack my money so tall
That you might need a giraffe
When you was countin this cash, nigga!
R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P we just killed the club
Took patron to the head almost killed a thug
R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P., R.I.P we just killed the club
Took patron to the head almost killed a thug
The lyrics of "R.I.P" by Jeezy describe a night of revelry, where the rapper and his friends party in clubs, drink heavily, and indulge in all sorts of vices. The first stanza sets the tone for the rest of the song, with Jeezy claiming to have "killed the club," almost killing a thug with patron (the high-end tequila), but he is so high that he can't feel the drugs he has taken. Despite the party atmosphere, Jeezy is aware that there are many haters among the crowd, and he feels that he is not receiving enough love. The chorus, where the phrase "R.I.P." is repeated five times, is a reference to the idea that they "killed" the club, but it could also be taken as a warning, with Jeezy telling his enemies that they are going to end up in a coffin if they mess with him.
The rest of the song reinforces Jeezy's tough reputation, with him boasting about his luxury cars, his flashy jewelry, and his willingness to fight anyone who disrespects him. He takes shots at his rivals, saying that they are nothing compared to him, and he even references old school hip-hop artists like Slick Rick, Dana Dane, and Rakim. Throughout the lyrics, Jeezy paints himself as a larger-than-life figure, someone who is always in control and always ready to party. The final verse is a bit more somber, as Jeezy reflects on the fleeting nature of fame and money, and how he can never be certain about a woman's loyalty. Despite these moments of introspection, however, "R.I.P" is ultimately a song about living large and taking what you want without apologies.
