The creative Atlanta hip-hop duo known as YoungBloodz, is back with their new single “Foolish” from their upcoming EP “Back From The Liquor Sto”.
"Back To The Liquor Sto" is vintage YoungBloodz that fans have been waiting to hear again. And its that original southern slang of the YoungBloodz, that keeps their legendary name in the current music scene relevant and fresh. The YoungBloodz are pioneers in the Atlanta hip-hop scene and changed music as we know it with their signature Crunk sound. Their debut album, 1999’s “Against Da Grain” on LaFace Records put them on the map with hits like “U-Way,” “Shakem’ Off” and “’85” – which featured none other than legendary Outkast’s Big Boi.
It all set the stage for 2003’s hit album “Drankin’ Patnaz.” The duo’s sophomore effort featured the Lil Jon-produced and Grammy-nominated single “Damn.” The track would peak at No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Then, 2005’s “Ev’rybody Know Me” left its own mark on hip-hop with singles like “Datz Me” featuring Young Buck, “Chop Chop”, Produced By Scott Storch, and the hard-hitting track “Presidential” also Produced by Lil Jon. Youngbloodz other music appearances include artists like Cherish (“Do It To It”), Sammie (You Should Be My Girl), Lil Jon (“Snap Ya Fingas”), TI, Nelly, Gucci Mane, Lil Scrappy, Twista, Dj Khaled, T-Pain, E-40 and many more.
Now back together after over 7 years, YoungBloodz release their new single Foolish available on Itunes and most major digital retail 11/25.
YoungBloodz forthcoming EP “Back From The Liquor Sto” due for release 1/15/2014.
Just a Dream
YoungBloodz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I unleash total chaos into the streets
For I observe these dirty words whispering' through your mouth
So I now I take it you the big dog about the south
Oh really now, though whose to say that we won't never make it
Or even get the chance to tell the world just how we made it
Cause know that we gonna keep it crunk, no matter what
Now who the fuck, just al nut, it's a must for you to get crushed
You'd besta wake on up and take a look inside this frame
For everything ain't everything when times are gettin' rough
To pressure is your conscience in this game you callin' bluff
Now nigga what, yeah
Oh, a lot of hatin' went on doing this thang here
Folks just swore we wasn't finna' put it down for the A-town
You know what I'm saying? I ain't gotta call no names
Cause you know who you are
You know what I'm sayin'
All I got to say to all of y'all is...
You can't keep nobody from the Attic down
Know what I'm sayin', and that's on the floor
Yea, it's me, remember me from back in the day
The same ol' nigga you thought wouldn't get paid
Look at me now nigga, shit done changed
Ain't no mo' gettin' wet in the rain
Hennessey and dank to kill all my pain
Sho' nuff' you can hear, but you can't feel me man
And it's a damn shame, we go through what we do
Playa hatin' while I'm chillin' on the avenue
Can't hold no nigga down from the Attic Crew
that's for trill on the blow, straight from me to you
Better listen up now, cause ain't no tellin' what's next
The dem' between real and the ones that flex
All in your face grinnin' when you cash that check
But when they get down and dirty it's like "fuck dat' bitch"
Ass nigga, so how you figga' I was wrong
Got a baby, and a crib to keep clothes on
Long time ago, way before the grind
Trouble had become a friend of mine
You off up in my head, its just a matter of time
Before I rip shit apart and let Sean Paul shine
Like dem' folks open face off in yo' grill
I ain't tryin' to be greedy, I'm just tryin' to live
Now that the picture clear, and you know what I mean
Being broke all again slick it's just a dream

It ain't a thang in this world that's gonna knock me off my feet
I am confident and cannot be defeated by anything in this world
As I unleash total chaos into the streets
I am creating chaos in the streets
For I observe these dirty words whispering' through your mouth
I notice you're talking badly behind my back
So I now I take it you the big dog about the south
I assume you think you are the best in the southern region
Oh really now, though whose to say that we won't never make it
Who is to say that we won't succeed
Or even get the chance to tell the world just how we made it
We might not even get the chance to share our success story
Cause know that we gonna keep it crunk, no matter what
We will keep it energetic and exciting no matter what happens
Now who the fuck, just al nut, it's a must for you to get crushed
Who do you think you are? You are going to get crushed.
So don't rush to get dat' change
Don't be impatient to make money
You'd besta wake on up and take a look inside this frame
You should look within yourself and evaluate your actions
For everything ain't everything when times are gettin' rough
In tough times, not everything is what it seems
To pressure is your conscience in this game you callin' bluff
You're bluffing in this game, and your conscience is under pressure
Now nigga what, yeah
Now what are you going to do about it?
Oh, a lot of hatin' went on doing this thang here
We faced a lot of criticism while pursuing this endeavor
Folks just swore we wasn't finna' put it down for the A-town
People didn't think we could represent Atlanta well
You know what I'm saying? I ain't gotta call no names
You know what I mean? I don't need to mention anyone specifically
Cause you know who you are
Because you know if you were one of the haters
You can't keep nobody from the Attic down
No one can keep us down from the Attic crew
Know what I'm sayin', and that's on the floor
Do you understand what I'm trying to say? I'm serious.
Yea, it's me, remember me from back in the day
Yes, it's me, the same person you knew from the past
The same ol' nigga you thought wouldn't get paid
You never thought I would be successful
Look at me now nigga, shit done changed
Look at me now, I have succeeded
Ain't no mo' gettin' wet in the rain
I don't have to get wet in the rain anymore
Hennessey and dank to kill all my pain
I drink Hennessy and smoke weed to ease my troubles
Sho' nuff' you can hear, but you can't feel me man
You can hear me, but you can't understand me completely
And it's a damn shame, we go through what we do
It's sad that we have to go through the struggles we face
Playa hatin' while I'm chillin' on the avenue
While I'm relaxing on the street, others are still hating
Can't hold no nigga down from the Attic Crew
No one can keep a member of the Attic crew down
that's for trill on the blow, straight from me to you
That's the truth, coming directly from me to you
Better listen up now, cause ain't no tellin' what's next
Listen carefully now, because we don't know what will happen in the future
The dem' between real and the ones that flex
The difference between those who are real and those who fake it
All in your face grinnin' when you cash that check
Smiling in your face when you get paid
But when they get down and dirty it's like "fuck dat' bitch"
But when they have to face difficulty, they turn on you
Ass nigga, so how you figga' I was wrong
You're an idiot, how did you think I was wrong?
Got a baby, and a crib to keep clothes on
I have responsibilities, including a child to take care of
Long time ago, way before the grind
A long time ago, before the hustle began
Trouble had become a friend of mine
I was used to experiencing trouble
You off up in my head, its just a matter of time
You're bothering me mentally, and it's only a matter of time before I snap
Before I rip shit apart and let Sean Paul shine
Before I cause chaos and destruction and let my anger show
Like dem' folks open face off in yo' grill
Like those who confront you openly and directly
I ain't tryin' to be greedy, I'm just tryin' to live
I'm not trying to be selfish, I'm just trying to survive
Now that the picture clear, and you know what I mean
Now that everything is clear, you understand what I'm saying
Being broke all again slick it's just a dream
The idea of being poor again is like a nightmare to me
