I'm Straight
Young Jeezy Lyrics

Yeah, yeah, uh, aye! What the fuck I gotta worry about now?
I have overcome great challenges and hardships, so why should I be concerned about anything now?

Nigga you think after weatherin' the storm and comin' from the extremes I came from
After enduring difficult situations and overcoming extreme circumstances

You think I'ma call all the way and get scared? Ahah!
Do you really think I will back down or become frightened?

Nah nigga.. I'ma motherfuckin' win
No, I am going to triumph and be successful

Nigga if all this shit go out the window right now man
Even if I were to lose everything at this moment

I'm all too familiar with this shit
I am well-acquainted with this kind of situation

My nigga I'm straight ya dig? Please believe that shit man. Hey! {*echoes*}
I am doing well and I want you to understand and believe that. Hey!

You can keep the car, the clothes, the money and the hoes
You can have material possessions like cars, clothing, money, and women

Just gimme a couple of O's, drop me off at the sto'
Just give me some drugs and let me be on my way

And I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt... hey shawty I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt
And I will be fine... hey girl, I will be fine

Hey you can keep the dancers and the boppers, the plexers and the poppers
You can keep the strippers and partygoers, the people who cause drama and the drug users

Let me fill up my Impala, boy holla at my partners
Let me fill up my Chevrolet Impala car with gas and talk to my friends

And I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt... hey shawty I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt
And I will be fine... hey girl, I will be fine

I gotta couple of V's wit' the kits, MPV's on my wrist
I have a few expensive watches with diamonds, luxury vehicles, and expensive accessories

A lot of glamour and glit's, but shawty I don't need that
There are many flashy and extravagant things, but I don't require those

My beginnin' was a humble one, a hustler I'ma son of one
I started from a modest background, as the child of a hustler

Taught me how to number run, I went from that to number one
I learned how to engage in illegal activities, but now I have achieved success

Had a hundred ones, I bought a slab flipped another one
I had a stack of one-dollar bills, I bought a luxury car, and then sold it for a profit

Sold my little three-eighty east, and said I need another gun
I sold a small firearm and realized I needed a different one

The littlest in the trap, and gotta pack of ice and bubble gum
I am the youngest person involved in illegal activities, carrying drugs and trivial items like gum

Junkies hatin' on my stacks, sayin' I'm nuttin but a young
Drug addicts are jealous of my money, claiming I am nothing but young and inexperienced

Buck, niggaz say, "What?" Then he see me raise up
Other people are surprised when they see me succeed and rise above

Just wanna see the little boy wit' nuts exchange old niggaz whole face soon
They want to witness the young boy with confidence intimidate older men

'Cause I spray the nigga's whole face up, wet the nigga from the waist up
I shoot someone's face and upper body, showering them with bullets

They try you once and you pull a fall, and then tell 'em shaw' don't play wit 'em
When people test you and you retaliate, you warn them not to mess with you

I'm fourteen in the dope game and don't care of catchin' no case bruh
I started selling drugs when I was just fourteen years old and I am not afraid of being arrested

You can sell to me, that's intentionally, another nigga that it's too late for
You can sell drugs to me, knowing that I can handle it, while another person may be in too deep

Hey wait bruh, bet any nigga came from that?
I wonder if anyone else has come from a similar background

Who lose it all the day, I bet he say he changed from that
Those who lose everything would probably claim they have changed from that lifestyle

Hey you can keep the game and the fame, the haters and the lames
You can have the entertainment industry and the attention, the people who dislike and the losers

Just gimme some cocaine and some wood I can slang
Just give me some drugs and some material I can sell

And I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt... hey shawty I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt
And I will be fine... hey girl, I will be fine

Hey you can keep the clones and the clowns, the throne and the crown
You can have the imitators and fools, the position of power and authority

Well-known in the town that I'm holdin' it down
I have a reputation in the city for maintaining control and dominance

So I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt... hey shawty I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt
So I will be fine... hey girl, I will be fine

Okay now, now when I spit it, I spit it how I live it
When I rap, I express my reality

Every verse I ever gave ya, it was fact, nothin' fiction
Every lyric I have delivered to you is based on truth, not made up

I'ma +Livin' Legend+.. no stuntin', no reppin'
I am a living legend, representing myself genuinely without exaggeration

You can check my track record, I'm highly respected
If you investigate my past achievements, you will find that I am greatly admired

I'ma gangsta in the game, go ask Lil' Wayne
I am a respected figure in the rap industry, just ask Lil' Wayne

Ask Judge Johnson, how many times he saw my face
Inquire with Judge Johnson about how many times I have appeared before him

For, "pistol here, pistol there," "violation here, violation here"
For instances where I was charged with carrying a weapon or violating the law

Betta ask Rank, I ran the jail when I was there
You should ask Officer Rank, I had control and influence while I was in jail

I held it down, where-ever I go
I maintained my authority and power wherever I went

When I'm in the A wit' the +King+, or in Detroit in the snow
Whether I am in Atlanta with the drug kingpins or in Detroit during tough times

I'ma pro, whether it's movin' snow or movin' 'dro
I am a professional, whether it's selling cocaine or marijuana

That's between me and you, I can get it for the low
That's just between us, I can acquire it at a low cost

But that's nuttin, everybody say they gotta story
But that's nothing, as everyone claims to have a story

Mine on "Larry King," theirs is on "Maury"
My story would be aired on a respected talk show like "Larry King Live," while theirs is on a more dramatic one like "Maury"

At the end of the day, it seems to won't go away
In the end, it appears that the situation or issue cannot be resolved

I guarantee +The Heart of the Streetz+ that you pray
I promise that the people who are deeply involved in the street life always pray for a better outcome

You can keep the dancers and the boppers, the plexers and the poppers
You can have the exotic dancers and the partygoers, the people who deceive and the drug users

Let me fill up my Impala, boy holla at my partners
Allow me to fill up my Chevrolet Impala car with gas and speak to my friends

And I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt... hey shawty I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt
And I will be fine... hey girl, I will be fine

Snowman bitch (bitch), I ride two-seaters (vroom!!)
I am a notorious drug dealer, and I drive sports cars with only two seats

It's a cold world, so I keep two heaters (geyeah!)
The world can be harsh and dangerous, so I always carry two guns

I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt, you betta ask somebody (body)
I am doing well, you should ask around and verify

Matter fact nigga you can just ask me (me)
Actually, you can just ask me directly

A little over aggressive, yeah I just might be
I may be a bit excessively forceful or assertive

But half the niggaz in the hood just like me (damn!)
But many people in the neighborhood are just like me

You wonder why a nigga talk eight balls all day?
You may wonder why I am constantly talking about drugs

You should try standin' around wit' eight balls all day (YEEEAAAHHH!!)
You should experience what it feels like to be surrounded by drugs all day

Somebody pray for me, I don't know nothin' else (AYE!)
Someone should pray for me because I don't know any other way of living

Why should I help you, when you ain't tryin' to help yourself
Why should I assist you when you are not making any effort to improve your own situation

I came in this game, fresh out the streets (yeah)
I entered the music industry straight from the dangerous streets

Who you kiddin' nigga, I put my life on these beats (YEAH!)
Don't fool yourself, I have risked my life for the sake of my music

Fuck bein' broke, this a reality check (check)
I don't want to be poor anymore, this is a reminder of the harsh reality

While you mad at ya girl, ya betta check reality (AHAH!)
Instead of being angry at your significant other, you should face the truth of the situation

Gotta crawl 'fore you walk, you gotta think before you talk
You must start with small steps before progressing, and you should consider your words before speaking

Damn right they gon' hate (geyeah!), 'cause them niggaz aren't straight
They will undoubtedly hate on us because they are not honest or authentic themselves

(AHAH!)

Hey you can keep the game and the fame, the haters and the lames
You can have the entertainment industry and the attention, the people who dislike and the losers

Just gimme some cocaine and some wood I can slang
Just give me some drugs and some material I can sell

And I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt... hey shawty I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt
And I will be fine... hey girl, I will be fine

Hey you can keep the clones and the clowns, the throne and the crown
You can have the imitators and fools, the position of power and authority

Well-known in the town that I'm holdin' it down
I have a reputation in the city for maintaining control and dominance

So I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt... hey shawty I'm straaaiiiggghhhttt
So I will be fine... hey girl, I will be fine

Say what it do? Young Pimp see know what I'm talkin 'bout?
What's up? Young Pimp See understands what I am saying, right?

Yeah, nigga want me to speak on some "king" shit, know what I'm sayin'?
Yeah, people want me to talk about my status as a king, do you understand?

On the cool why'know.. young nigga T.I. jumped out there
In all honesty, young rapper T.I. made a bold claim

Said he was the king of the south
He proclaimed himself as the ruler of the southern rap scene

He ruffled a whole lotta niggaz' feathers
He caused a lot of controversy and upset other people

But niggaz didn't really understand what the nigga was talkin 'bout
But many people did not truly comprehend his intentions

Why'know.. and uh.. so everybody had it twisted but..
You know, and so everyone misinterpreted it

Me I understood from the get go
But I understood it from the beginning

That what the nigga was tryin' to put
He was attempting to convey

In these motherfuckin' stupid ass niggaz' faces!!
To these ignorant individuals out there

Was the fact that it's a whole bunch of kings down here
There are many talented and influential figures in this area

And as long as you takin' care of yo' business and doin' king shit you a king!
If you are responsible and handling your affairs like a king, then you are a king!

What these niggaz shoulda been tryin' to do was tryin' to get close to the nigga
Instead of being envious, these individuals should have tried to learn from him

And get some understandin' about the type of game
And gain some insight into the strategies and mindset

He was tryin' to put in these motherfuckin' niggaz' ear holes!
He was attempting to convey to these ignorant individuals

Understand what I'm sayin'?
Do you comprehend what I am saying?

So I'm layin' back I'm watchin' the game from the sideline
So I am observing the situation from a distance

Know what I'm talkin 'bout?
Do you understand?

And I'm seein' all these ol' pussy ass niggaz out here
I am witnessing all these weak and cowardly individuals

Talkin 'bout they this and they that, but they really ain't doin' nothin!
They claim to be this and that, but in reality, they are accomplishing nothing

'Cause they motherfuckin' paper ain't right
Because their finances are not in order

When I see them in the street, they diamonds fake!
When I encounter them on the streets, I notice their fake diamonds

Know what I'm talkin 'bout?
Do you understand what I am saying?

They shit ain't cut right, ya shit ain't right!
Their drugs are poor quality, your drugs are not satisfactory

Shit cloudy and chipped up, know what I'm talkin 'bout?
The drugs are impure and damaged, do you understand?

And them niggaz talkin 'bout they "trill niggaz"
And those individuals claiming to be genuine and true

Don't even know what the motherfuckin' word mean!
They don't even comprehend the true meaning of the word

Know what I'm talkin 'bout? This comin' from the O.G. style trill
Do you understand? This is coming from an original gangster who embodies the true meaning of being genuine

Know what I'm talkin 'bout? Not these ol' fake ass niggaz
Do you understand? Not these false individuals

Tryin' to come on the scene later on and tryin' to take glory for some shit
Attempting to enter the industry later and steal the credit for something

Some other niggaz paid dues for, know what I'm talkin 'bout?
That other people previously worked hard for, do you understand?

So this is what is.. we bringin' Georgia and Texas together
This is what is happening... we are uniting Georgia and Texas

All you ol' BITCH ASS NIGGAS that ain't down wit' the play
To all of you weak individuals who are not part of the movement

Move on to the side, all you old school rappers like 'Pac say
Step aside, all you old school rappers like Tupac used to say

You niggaz flabby, lookin' like Larry Holmes
You individuals are out of shape, resembling Larry Holmes

BACK YO' BITCH ASS UP!! And, and, and, and move around for the South
Step back and move aside, making room for the South

'Cause it's our time to shine, know what I'm talkin 'bout?
Because it is our moment to succeed, do you understand what I am saying?

Now let's do this shit!
Now let's get to work and make things happen!
