Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Came in with Nieman Marcus now I’ll tell you what ain't my nigga (polo)
If you steady talking then you know how to live my nigga (popo)
Got a whole thing in a dope bag right now nigga solo
Just left the spot and I swear a nigga reek of narcotics
'Cause you fucking the stove, yeah you swear a nigga eat narcotics
Foreign whip, foreign bitch yeah got a nigga hooked on phonics
Got the kitchen smoked up like the shit hooked on chronic
I can't even sleep (I got trap shit in my head)
I can't even eat, (I got trap shit in my head)
When I be in the club (I got trap shit in my head)
Me and shawty be makin' love (I got trap shit in my head)
When I’m in my whip (I got trap shit in my head)
When I empty the clip (I got trap shit in my head)
When I be seeing drugs (I got trap shit in my head)
When I be in the club (I got trap shit in my head)
Hold up, you thought a nigga really wasn’t gonna talk kilo’s no more?
Hold up, like a nigga hit the studio and never ever ever sold no blow
Hold up, hauling in 36 and it sounding like I’m dead for real
Hold up, if I don’t fall George all off the Jaeger for real
I ain't buying no cristal
Tell me what you drinking ho
My niggas spent about ten thou’
Put him in a Lincoln ho
Stove on like a steak on it
Wrapped up with the tape on it
Staying up with the baking soda
Only the rat got a face on it
Either that or a boss, nigga scoring or something
Don’t ask me if I did it, nigga, I’m talking like Memphis, what’s up
You got two 125s so you already know what you missing
Residue in the glass pot
Gave my lil’ cousin 200 dollars, tell him do them dishes
I can't even sleep (I got trap shit in my head)
I can't even eat, (I got trap shit in my head)
When I be in the club (I got trap shit in my head)
Me and shawty be makin' love (I got trap shit in my head)
When I’m in my whip (I got trap shit in my head)
When I empty the clip (I got trap shit in my head)
When I be seeing drugs (I got trap shit in my head)
When I be in the club (I got trap shit in my head)
This one time this one time and I ain't talking bout’ band camp
Told man something wrong with this,
Check it dawg, look at the damn stamp
This re-rock, this compress, you paid for it you damn fool
The first thing they teach you on the first day of yayo school
New mechanic, I keep 2, and I don’t panic I keep cool
20 blocks at my nigga house call it brickmade Sunday school
Put together everybody money, that way everybody lasts
Get to talking about a math test, that way everybody pass
I can't even sleep (I got trap shit in my head)
I can't even eat, (I got trap shit in my head)
When I be in the club (I got trap shit in my head)
Me and shawty be makin' love (I got trap shit in my head)
When I’m in my whip (I got trap shit in my head)
When I empty the clip (I got trap shit in my head)
When I be seeing drugs (I got trap shit in my head)
When I be in the club (I got trap shit in my head)
"In My Head" by Young Jeezy is a song that aptly describes the mentality of a trap artist. The song is made up of lines that, on first hearing, might appear disjointed and hard to follow. However, as one listens, it is evident that each line brings to mind the life of a dealer, the high they get from selling, and how it permeates everything they think about and do.
The song starts with Jeezy expressing his fearless nature and willingness to do anything to get by. He talks about being in Neiman Marcus and not considering someone he met there a friend. In the trap game, everyone is out for themselves. Jeezy goes on to talk about the drugs he has on him, saying he smells of narcotics. He talks about how he heats up the stove to cook drugs, which becomes his food.
The chorus, "I got trap shit in my head," reveals that the life of a trap artist becomes the only thing they can think about. Even when they are in the club or making love, their mind remains consumed with the drug trade. The second verse explains how Jeezy continues to sell drugs despite being successful in music. He describes the drug business as addictive, like a drug hooked on phonics. He raps about making money, giving it to his cousin, and the importance of educating young ones about the "math" of the trap game.
The song "In My Head" by Young Jeezy is not only an ode to the drug trade but it's also a commentary on the all-consuming nature of the lucrative trap life. The song provides insight into trap artists' mindset, their motivations, and how they navigate a dangerous and potentially deadly game.
