Put On
Young_Jeezy_ft_Kanye_West Lyrics

I put on (x4)
I represent and uplift my city through my actions and success.

When they see me up in traffic they say Jeezy on some other shit
People recognize my unique style and success.

Send them pussy niggas runnin' straight back to the dealership
Those who try to compete with me fail and retreat.

Me I'm in my spaceship, that's right I work for NASA
I'm successful and fly high like an astronaut.

This 7H is not a fraud, call that bitch my bodyguard
My car is real and impressive, acting as my personal protection.

Wear a lot of jewelery Young don't do security
My wealth and status act as my protection, rather than external measures like security guards.

It was whiter than a napkin, harder than a dinner plate
My cocaine is high quality and valuable.

If you want it come and get it
I'm not afraid of confrontation or competition.

You know I stay super straight
I'm honest and true to myself.

Ran up in my spots and now I'm workin' at the Super 8
Those who used to compete with me are now beneath me and working low paying jobs.

Know you niggas hungry, come and get a super plate
Those who used to compete with me can come take a piece of my success.

Y'all sing Happy Birthday, yeah I got that super cake
I have wealth and success beyond what others could imagine.

Hundred karat bracelet, I use it like some super bait
My lavish lifestyle attracts others and gains me attention and admiration.

(Chorus)
Reinforcing the idea that Jeezy puts on for his city.

(Kanye)
Switching to a different perspective.

I feel like there's still niggas that owe me checks
I believe I am owed payment from past business dealings.

I feel like there's still bitches that owe me sex
I believe I am owed sexual favors from women who used me for my success.

I feel like this but niggas don't know the stress
Despite my success, there are still struggles and stress that others may not be aware of.

I lost the only girl in the world that know me best
The only person who truly understood me and my struggles is gone.

I got the money and the fame and that don't mean shit
Despite my success, I still have internal struggles and insecurities.

I got the Jesus on a chain, man that don't mean shit
Despite trying to showcase wealth and status with a Jesus piece, it doesn't fulfill me.

'Cause when the Jesus pieces can't bring me peace
External items or symbols of success cannot bring true inner peace or satisfaction.

Yo, I need just at least one of Russell's nieces
I am searching for love or companionship, possibly from someone connected to Russell Simmons.

On... I let my nightmares go
I am trying to release my negative thoughts and worries.

I put on, everybody that I knew from the go
I showcase my success to those who have been with me from the beginning.

I know hoes that was frontin' when they knew he was broke
I have encountered women who ignored me when I was struggling, but now act differently because of my success.

They say damn, Yeezy Yeezy, you don't know us no more
People who used to know me now see me as disconnected or changed because of my success.

You got that big fame homie, and you just changed homie
People accuse me of changing because of my success and fame.

You can ask big homie, man the top sure lonely I ain't lyin'
Despite appearing successful and popular, the top can be a lonely place.

So lonely I ain't lyin'
The loneliness at the top is a very real experience.

Let me see what we have tonight (what we have tonight)
Returning to the chorus with Kanye adding his own spin on it.

I'm high as a satellite (satellite)
Kanye is high and feeling disconnected from reality and life on Earth.

I see those flashin' lights (flashin' lights)
Kanye sees the cameras and paparazzi chasing him.
