Overall Meaning

In "Go Getta," Young Jeezy and R. Kelly offer an anthem to the hustlers and hard workers that make up the grinding population. The lyrics highlight the life of someone who works hard all day and then parties all night. The first verse reveals Young Jeezy's persona as a go-getter who is not afraid to take risks. He speaks of his time as an alcoholic and his love of good quality weed. He reminisces about a time when he saw his friend take a ten-year prison sentence for trying to gain success in his own way. In the chorus, Jeezy and R. Kelly offer a tribute to the never-say-die attitude of those who won't let anything stop them from achieving their goals.


In the second verse, we see the pair pushing themselves constantly, living each day as if it is their last. They believe in taking risks and chasing their dreams without being scared of the consequences. They work hard every day, betting against all odds, and living on the edge. Despite the danger they face every day, they are always hungry for more success. The bridge follows the same theme, with R. Kelly singing praises of a go-getter lifestyle that is filled with the finest clothes, cars, and alluring women.
