Young Jeezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All's well that ends well
Outside watering their lawn and shit
Birds are chirping, dogs are barking
It's beautiful
That may be your hood but this is my hood
Got the red dogs trippin' and these niggas still snitchin'
It's 3 in the mornin take your old ass to sleep
The third time she's called the police this week
Lookin' at my Franck Muller, it's about that time
Your folks just left so I'm on my grind
Said you wanna two-fifty cause you need that nine
I want that bread but I don't need that dime
Charger fresh out the shop with that suicide doors
Swear I died and came back alive
With 22 inches all under the frame
Keep my pocket full of bread, you niggas know the name
[Chorus]
Jeezy like to drink
Jeezy like to smoke
Jeezy like to mix arm and hammer with his coke
Jeezy at the trap
Jeezy like to grind
Jeezy bout his paper
Cause Jeezy like to shine
Sold those squares yeah I cooked them oh's
Guilty as charged yeah I rock them shows
I can't even lie yeah I fucked them hoes
Trapped all day spent it all on clothes
Shop all day till the mall is clothed
Come back to the trap get my pockets swoll
Fruitopia, smoke blueberry
Mix it with the purp, we call it cranberry
The Bin Laden clips yeah they came with the chopper
Got a slick mouth I hope you came with a doctor
The boy stacks cheese like it came with the whopper
Stay fly like I came in a chopper
[Chorus]
Ain't shit shakin' but the leaves in the trees
Between me and you I got a deal on the Ki's
Six in one run, laid a mil on the trees
Hit the broad every night, keep a plug on the white
Mr. 17-5, you niggas know the name
Why y'all playin' y'all know it ain't a game
This is me motherfucker, why would I ever change
120 carats, you niggas see the chain
I'm a bathing ape fanatic
Red monkey junkie
Glass pots on the stove got the kitchen smellin' funky
Sold a million records but I still flip them blocks
On the TV every day but I'm still pop them glocks
[Chorus]
The opening lines of the song "Jeezy" by Young Jeezy puts the audience in a serene environment, typical of a nice weathered day. The sound of birds chirping and dogs barking is a perfect mix of nature's harmony, as the song takes us through different moods. The second part of the song presents a neighborhood with a different reality from the first part. The reality is that of conflict - dogs tripping and old ladies complaining, causing the police to be called repeatedly.
Young Jeezy introduces himself with lines that show his interest in making money, expanding his fortune, and boasting about having a good life, as he enjoys his watch and the fact that he has the ability to grind while others sleep. He emphasizes his interest in money by claiming he wants the "bread" and not the "dime," though others often need just the opposite. He goes ahead to talk about his car with "suicide doors" that made him "died and came back alive," boasting about his wealth and cool ride. He's in the hustle, never hesitating to get his hands dirty, sold squares, spending on clothes, trapping all day long, smoking marijuana, and carrying weapons. As the song progresses, Young Jeezy shows that he's a man of the people, representing his culture and fashion preference, never missing an opportunity to put them on display.
