I
The Jets Lyrics

Happy Birthday to my nigga wale man
Celebrating the birthday of the rapper Wale

Wrote this shit August twelfth and I went dumb nigga
Wrote this song on August 12th and was inspired to make something great

If I got it like I know I got it, then tell me i got it
Asking for confirmation of his talent and success

I just wanna smell my roses fore I die
Desiring to enjoy the fruits of his labor while he is still alive

These legends be dying too fast
Noticing that many legendary artists have passed away too soon

Don't wanna be included
Not wanting to be a part of that trend of early deaths

These niggas smile dead in yo face
Being aware that people can be deceiving

Then shoot you like cupid
Betraying you despite acting friendly and trustworthy

You gotta learn how to maneuver, specially when you come up from the sewer
Knowing that there are dangers and obstacles when coming from a difficult background

Everybody ain't ya friend, learn to decipher the real from fake
Understanding that not everyone is a true friend and learning how to differentiate between real and fake people

I'm hungry as fuck, so I piled up my plate
Being driven and motivated to succeed

You do what you can, ima do what it takes
Willing to work hard and take action to achieve his goals

Honestly starting to embrace all the hate
Learning to not let negativity affect him and using it as fuel to succeed

Real recognize real, you niggas can't relate
Acknowledging that only those who have gone through similar experiences can truly understand

One of the greatest, and it's no debate
Confident in his talent and potential for success

I'm outta this world, I'm intergalactic
Feeling like he is beyond ordinary and capable of achieving extraordinary things

Most of these niggas be acting
Noticing that many people put on a façade in order to look better than they really are

Fucking yo girl in a hand stand
Boasting about sexual prowess and bragging about his abilities

White people Kool aid, we finna get nasty
Using a racial stereotype to describe wild behavior and partying

This what I do, Counting this cabbage
Making money and counting his earnings

On my mama swear a nigga aint average
Confident in his abilities and not feeling mediocre

Just like MP, finna make sumn happen
Comparing himself to another successful artist and believing that he will achieve similar success

Look at me. Look at me. I am the captain now
Asserting his authority and leadership in his career and life

Big blunt shawty, got a lot on my mind
Stressed and with a lot to think about

Bro yo girlfriend thotting, and her throat is divine
Boasting about sexual exploits and abilities

Finna Catch Me a body, like Lebron anytime
Ready to achieve greatness and success, just like LeBron James

I know that ima make it, but God could you send a sign
Believing in his own abilities but seeking reassurance and guidance from a higher power
