Young Jeezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's understood ain't gotta be said SIMPLE
Don't Let em Down
I see you Zipo, I got ya homie
[Verse 1]
They locked my dog up and that ain't ro-zay
All he wanted was the fame make it last forever
You get some ones I get some ones we make it rain together
I'm talkin' Quabo dreams crystal fetishes
Smokin' everyday just to keep ya sanity
Just me and nigga like what up doe
Still partyin' the club closed an hour ago
I guess the back to back Lambo's a thing of the past
We used to talk on a chirp now we talking through a glass
Just like the glass I know he sees right through me
Transparent I can't hide my window pain
I'm thinkin' what to say to make him have a better day
I'm walkin' down this lil hallway like what the fuck I'm gonna say
As I'm walkin' down the halls I feel the stress in the walls
I need to lighten up man this shit is too tense
Feels like I need? my heart aches so bad
When he sees my face he's gonna be so glad
Then I look into his eyes swear to god I seen his soul
Tell me what can make a hot boy stare so cold
As I looked a lil deeper I saw a lil hope then he cracked a smile
He still got his pride
Keep doin' what you doin' hold us real niggas down
No matter what you do don't let us real niggas down
[Chorus]
Jeezy don't do it
Don't you let em down Young Jeezy
Don't you let em down Young Jeezy
No no no no no
No
Jeezy don't do it
[Verse 2]
I done been through so much real life done lose touch
And yet so much yell of my sense of smell and I don't mean that literally
But I mean this literally these niggas actors me I'm a factory
Known for movin' big money sh*t at least a tractor
No breaks no tires I'm a ride for these streets yeah till the wheels
Fall off
It's gonna take more then hate to get my focus off can't knock the
Hustle still stackin' dead presidents They say he on his way out well that's a
Reasonable doubt ain't no niggas like the ones I got friend or foe politics as usual
I'm feelin' it still livin' with regrets with all these imaginary players you must love me
I told y'all in do time the city is mine
[Chorus: x2]
No, no
The lyrics to Young Jeezy's song "Don't Do It" are about the rapper's friend who has been locked up and Jeezy's promise to keep holding it down for the "real niggas" who are still out on the streets. The first verse starts off with Jeezy lamenting the loss of his friend to the prison system and the fact that they are no longer able to party and live the high-life together. He acknowledges that the stress and pain of this situation can be overwhelming, but he must stay strong for his friend and stay true to himself. As he walks down the hallway to see his friend, he wonders what he can say to him to comfort him and lift his spirits.
When Jeezy finally sees his friend, he looks into his eyes and sees a glimmer of hope. He sees that his friend still has his pride and encourages him to keep doing what he's doing and to hold it down for the real ones on the outside. The chorus, "Don't do it, don't you let em down, Young Jeezy" is a reminder to Jeezy to stay strong and true to himself and not let down his fans, friends, or himself.
The song is an emotional and introspective look at the struggles that come with being a successful rapper and the pressures to maintain an image of strength and resilience in the face of adversity. It is a reminder that even the most successful and powerful figures have their struggles and moments of doubt, but it is important to stay true to oneself and never give up.

This is the greatest show on earth
I am fully confident in my abilities and the entertainment value of my performance
What's understood ain't gotta be said
I don't need to explain anything, it's obvious
Don't Let em Down
Please don't disappoint or fail those who are counting on you
I see you Zipo, I got ya homie
I acknowledge and support my friend and their situation
No mo Jose no mo Rosie
I'm done with certain things or people in my life
They locked my dog up and that ain't ro-zay
My friend is in jail and it's not a good situation
All he wanted was the fame make it last forever
He wanted success but didn't properly plan for it to be long term
You get some ones I get some ones we make it rain together
Let's work together to be successful and share the wealth
I'm talkin' Quabo dreams crystal fetishes
I'm talking about big dreams and expensive tastes
Smokin' everyday just to keep ya sanity
I use marijuana as a coping mechanism for the stress in my life
Just me and nigga like what up doe
It's just me and my friend, we're greeting each other
Still partyin' the club closed an hour ago
I'm continuing to party even though the club is closed
I guess the back to back Lambo's a thing of the past
I used to have consecutive Lamborghinis, but that's over now
We used to talk on a chirp now we talking through a glass
We used to communicate on Nextel phones, now we talk through visitation glass because my friend is in prison
Just like the glass I know he sees right through me
My friend knows me well and can see through any facade I put up
Transparent I can't hide my window pain
I'm open and honest about the pain and struggles in my life
I'm thinkin' what to say to make him have a better day
I'm trying to say something uplifting to my friend to improve their mood
I'm walkin' down this lil hallway like what the fuck I'm gonna say
I'm nervous and unsure of how to communicate with my friend
As I'm walkin' down the halls I feel the stress in the walls
I feel the negative energy and tension of the prison walls
I need to lighten up man this shit is too tense
I need to relax and make the atmosphere less stressful
Feels like I need? my heart aches so bad
I feel like I need something, my emotions are intense
When he sees my face he's gonna be so glad
My friend will be happy to see me
Then I look into his eyes swear to god I seen his soul
I had a meaningful and emotional connection with my friend
Tell me what can make a hot boy stare so cold
What could make a tough and confident person look so vulnerable
As I looked a lil deeper I saw a lil hope then he cracked a smile
I was able to bring some hope and happiness to my friend
He still got his pride
My friend is still proud and strong despite his circumstances
Keep doin' what you doin' hold us real niggas down
Keep being strong and representing the real people
No matter what you do don't let us real niggas down
Don't disappoint or betray the people that you represent or care about
I done been through so much real life done lose touch
I've been through a lot and it's affected me deeply
And yet so much yell of my sense of smell and I don't mean that literally
Despite everything, I still have a keen sense of awareness and intuition
But I mean this literally these niggas actors me I'm a factory
I'm not fake, I'm the real deal and I produce results like a factory
Known for movin' big money sh*t at least a tractor
I'm known for handling large sums of money, at least as much as a tractor can hold
No breaks no tires I'm a ride for these streets yeah till the wheels fall off
I won't stop or slow down, I'll keep going hard until the very end
It's gonna take more then hate to get my focus off can't knock the hustle still stackin' dead presidents
I won't let hate or negativity distract me, I'm still making money and achieving success
They say he on his way out well that's a reasonable doubt
Some people think I'm losing my edge, but they'll have to prove it
Ain't no niggas like the ones I got friend or foe politics as usual
I have loyal friends and enemies, but politics will always be present
I'm feelin' it still livin' with regrets with all these imaginary players you must love me
I'm feeling the weight of my mistakes and the presence of fake people, but I know I'm still loved
I told y'all in do time the city is mine
I've been working hard and I will eventually conquer the city
