Together with production partner DJ Paul, Juicy J played an important role in the South's rise to prominence within the once East and West Coast dominated rap industry. Behind the duo's leadership, Three 6 Mafia rose from an underground phenomenon in Memphis to a nationally recognized rap empire, spinning off numerous solo albums for the collective's many members in the mid- to late '90s. Like his production partner, Juicy J specialized in dark, eerie tracks driven by bass-heavy beats and haunting sounds. He also raps as a member of Three 6 Mafia. Moreover, Three 6 Mafia ventured into filmmaking with Choices: The Movie and Choices II: The Set-Up, a straight-to-video film starring most of the Three 6 Mafia's collective, Hypnotize Minds. Juicy J (born Jordan Houston) and DJ Paul (Paul Beauregard) first came together at the dawn of the '90s, when they worked as DJs in the Memphis area. The two soon began producing their own tracks and invited numerous Memphis rappers to rap over the beats. They released the resulting tracks locally as Three 6 Mafia; years later these recordings would resurface as re-releases. In 1995, the loose collective Three 6 Mafia began to form and self-released its debut album, Mystic Stylez. The album became an underground success, and Three 6 Mafia, in turn, signed a distribution deal with Relativity for its Hypnotized Minds imprint. Throughout the late '90s, DJ Paul and Juicy J produced numerous albums a year for Hypnotized Minds and capitalized on the lucrative distribution deal. By the end of the decade, the two producers were at the helm of an empire, having extended their brand to alarming lengths, culminating with their commercial breakthrough album, When the Smoke Clears (2000), which debuted at number six on Billboard's album chart.

Y'all really ain't getting no money 'cause y'all chasing these hoes
Y'all really ain't getting no money, stop that flexing, you broke

You know Juicy J done came in this bitch, you know
I got to show off for him, you know
Send the load
I got the Breadwinner status, Breadwinner automatic
I went to Arkansas and got at it, I took the route down to Miami
Timmy bust down, got traffic, we at the flea market with a Caddy
Ask your boy do I speak it in Spanish
Walk in the mall and I meet with a manager
Watch how you handle a nigga on camera
Big booty bitch need to know I got stamina, yeah
Never mind, money coming legit
Money time, bought a jet
Switchin' lines, steady bumpin' collect
MoneyGram, standin' up in they chest
You read books and you know how to play chess
Why don't crooks learn how to finesse?
Quality H, I'm one of the best
Still in, had to take a lil' rest
Stayed solid, hit the cell and reset
Fresh out of jail, ordered a jet
Not bad when you come from the 'jects
Get mad, you look kinda upset
Front pass, not regular yet
Two seater with the, huh, on deck
Y'all really ain't getting no money, better get you some dough
Y'all really ain't getting no money 'cause y'all chasing these hoes
Y'all really ain't getting no money, yeah we already know
Y'all really ain't getting no money, stop that flexing, you broke
Y'all really ain't putting up numbers but who keepin' the score?
Y'all niggas way too funny, being broke ain't no joke
Made a hundred from a show and spent that all on some clothes
Y'all really ain't no killers, y'all really some hoes
Then hop in the Jag, then I get to the bag
I be making 'em mad, I drip with the swag
I be spending this cash, do the digital dash
My gang on the map
We pull up to your trap
We don't care where you at
They want me to lack
I don't fear none of that (Fuck that)
'Cause my bro got the strap
Got M's in the safe
Bad bitches in the Wraith
All I know is first place
Niggas hating, okay
They could never get in my way
I'ma ball hard all day
I done came up
You can never take me down
Wonder why they girls wanna date me now?
Oh shit, more hits
Lil Skies on the paper route, bitch
Y'all really ain't getting no money, better get you some dough
The song "Let Me See" by Juicy J is a play on the idea that some people talk big but don't have the money to back it up. The lyrics suggest that many people are living their lives chasing after materialistic things like clothes, cars, and women instead of focusing on building wealth. The first verse is all about exposing the facade that people put on about their financial status. It implies that people who are constantly flaunting their money are most likely broke. The chorus "Let me see your bankroll" is a challenge thrown at those who claim they are rolling in cash. The second verse takes a more aggressive tone and describes the dangers of living a life where one claims to be a tough guy but really isn't. Juicy J uses gang-related language to emphasize that people need to stop pretending to be someone they're not.
Overall, the song encourages people to focus on building their wealth rather than chasing the material things in life. It exposes the fact that many people are living in debt and are not really as financially successful as they would like others to believe. It also questions the authenticity of people who claim to be tough but really aren't. The song is a reminder that true wealth is measured by financial security and not by the amount of things one owns.
