Lets Go Crazy
Young Jeezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still smell the blow on my clothes
Like crispy cream I was cooking them o's
Like horseshoes I was tossin them o's
Time to re-up gotta recycle the flow
I'm emotional
I hug the block
I'm so emotional
Cash rules everything around me
So what's realer
Bout the scriller so call me a ghost face killa
Its kinda hard to be drug free
When georgia power won't give a nigga lights free
Switched hustles been killin' 'em ever since
Been paid to tell the truth it only make sense
[Chorus]
When they play that new jeezy watch the dope boys go crazy
And watch the dope boys go crazy
I pop my collar then I swing my chain
If you catch me in the club pimpin' doing my thing
When they play that new jeezy watch the dope boys go crazy
And watch the dope boys go crazy
They pop my collar then they swing they chain
All the gangstas in the street that be doin' they thing
By 18 the hard way
Now have a humble nigga thinkin' 'bout gun play
Now who the fuck want to play with guns
A lotta hoes a lotta blood dog
That shit ain't fun
So I suggest that you don't play with my chain
Or I'll send these hollow's at you
Let them play with ya brain
The streets is watchin'
The name is warm
The products white
A star is born
Pimpin' I'm so fly
I take this parachute off
I might fall and die
Wrap the work with spandex with the latex
Then we ship it outta town
Call it safe sex
[Chorus]
Uh, more than a hustla I'm the definition of it
Master chef, lord of the kitchen cupboard
More than a street legend, homey it's hova
More than a relief pitcher, I'm the closer
The Mariano of the Marriott, ah
If money talks, the whole world's bout to hear me out
See I'm a hustler's hope, I'm not his pipe dreams
So when they speak of success, I'm what they might mean
Attract money my worst color is light green
My favorite hue is Jay-Z blue
Don't follow me young'n, follow my moves, I'm not a role model
A bad influence got the world drinkin gold bottles
When puff was in that tub spillin mo'
I was at my video, cris' on the speedboat
In my lifetime nigga, go through your research
St. Thomas my nigga, that was me first
Chrome shoe'd the gs, I came feet first
In the game like a baby boo on the breach birth
I got the keys if you need work
I can kingpin you a line, the diamond of time (uhh)
My niggaz love it when I talk like this
My corporate people start buggin cause I talk like this
The corporate thugs is like, "Nah hov, talk that shit"
The dope boys go crazy when they hear that boy jay-z
See I'ma '80s baby, master
School of hard knocks, everyday is college
You ain't did nothin I ain't did, nigga pay homage
Or pay the doctor, I sprayed lami's
Still, the time'll reveal, you know I'm bein honest
Ya ain't put my coat yet and I keep my shit in coat check
They say the truth shall come to the light
So everybody grab your chains cause your boy that bright
[Chorus]
In the first verse of the song, Young Jeezy is returning to the drug game after taking a break from it. He describes himself as being emotional as he loves the block and his gun, but also acknowledges that money rules everything around him. He then references Ghostface Killah and talks about the difficulties of being drug-free in his situation.
In the chorus, Jeezy talks about how his music makes the dope boys go crazy, and he talks about the gangsters in the street who do their own thing. In the second verse, he talks about his own experiences in the drug game, including being involved in gun play and warning others not to mess with him or they will get hurt. He talks about wrapping the drugs in spandex and latex before shipping them out.
The final verse is actually not by Young Jeezy but Jay-Z, who references his status as a hustler and his success in the music industry. He talks about his favorite color being Jay-Z blue and warns people not to try to follow in his footsteps, as he is not a role model. He also brags about his success and the fact that he was the first to do some things in the industry.

Guess who's bizzack
I'm back and better than ever
Still smell the blow on my clothes
I've still got the drug game on my mind
Like crispy cream I was cooking them o's
I was making a lot of money selling drugs like how Krispy Kreme makes a lot of donuts
Like horseshoes I was tossin them o's
I was throwing drugs like a game of horseshoes
Time to re-up gotta recycle the flow
It's time to replenish my supply and keep the cash flow going
I'm emotional
I'm passionate about my street life
I hug the block
I'm always on the streets
I'm so emotional
I feel strongly about what I do
I love my glock
My gun is my protection
Cash rules everything around me
Money is the most important thing to me
So what's realer
What is more important?
Bout the scriller so call me a ghost face killa
I'm all about the money making, so call me Ghostface Killah
Its kinda hard to be drug free
It's difficult to get away from the drug game
When georgia power won't give a nigga lights free
It's hard to stay on the straight and narrow when you can't even pay your bills
Switched hustles been killin' 'em ever since
I changed my game and I've been successful ever since
Been paid to tell the truth it only make sense
I make money by telling the truth about my life
When they play that new jeezy watch the dope boys go crazy
My music gets the hustlers excited
And watch the dope boys go crazy

If you catch me in the club pimpin' doing my thing
I'm living my best life
They pop my collar then they swing they chain
Other people imitate my style
All the gangstas in the street that be doin' they thing
Everyone in the streets who is pursuing their hustle
By 18 the hard way
I learned the hard way from a young age
Now have a humble nigga thinkin' 'bout gun play
I've been humbled, but it doesn't stop me from thinking about violence when necessary
Now who the fuck want to play with guns
I'm not messing around - guns are serious business
A lotta hoes a lotta blood dog
The drug game is dangerous and bloody
That shit ain't fun
It's a harsh reality
So I suggest that you don't play with my chain
Don't mess with me or my jewelry
Or I'll send these hollow's at you
I'm not afraid to use my weapons
Let them play with ya brain
I'm threatening violence
The streets is watchin'
The streets always know what's up
The name is warm
My street name is hot right now
The products white
My drugs are the best in the game
A star is born
I'm on the rise
Pimpin' I'm so fly
I'm always looking good
I take this parachute off
I don't need any safety nets
I might fall and die
I know there are risks but I'm still willing to take them
Wrap the work with spandex with the latex
I'm careful to package my drugs well for transport
Then we ship it outta town
We move our product to other areas for distribution
Call it safe sex
We take precautions to ensure successful drug deals
Uh, more than a hustla I'm the definition of it
I'm more than just a drug dealer - I embody the hustle
Master chef, lord of the kitchen cupboard
I'm the master at cooking up drugs
More than a street legend, homey it's hova
I'm more than just a street legend, I'm Jay-Z
More than a relief pitcher, I'm the closer
I'm the guy you bring in for the final score
The Mariano of the Marriott, ah
I'm the best in the game
If money talks, the whole world's bout to hear me out
I have a lot of money and everyone knows it
See I'm a hustler's hope, I'm not his pipe dreams
I'm a symbol of hope for other hustlers
So when they speak of success, I'm what they might mean
I'm the epitome of success
Attract money my worst color is light green
I make a lot of money - even my least favorite color makes me rich
My favorite hue is Jay-Z blue
I'm proud to be Jay-Z
Don't follow me young'n, follow my moves, I'm not a role model
I'm not someone to look up to, but you can learn from my experience
A bad influence got the world drinkin gold bottles
My lifestyle has influenced a lot of people to drink expensive champagne
When puff was in that tub spillin mo'
When Puff Daddy was living large
I was at my video, cris' on the speedboat
I was busy making moves and looking good doing it
In my lifetime nigga, go through your research
I've been doing this for a long time - look it up
St. Thomas my nigga, that was me first
I was the first to do it big on St. Thomas
Chrome shoe'd the gs, I came feet first
I came into the game with a lot of style
In the game like a baby boo on the breach birth
I was born to hustle
I got the keys if you need work
I have access to drugs and can supply you
I can kingpin you a line, the diamond of time (uhh)
I can hook you up with the best drugs
My niggaz love it when I talk like this
My crew admires my hustle talk
My corporate people start buggin cause I talk like this
The people I do business with get nervous when I talk like a gangster
The corporate thugs is like, "Nah hov, talk that shit"
I keep it real and others appreciate it
The dope boys go crazy when they hear that boy jay-z
The street hustlers love my music
See I'ma '80s baby, master
I grew up in the 80s and mastered the hustle
School of hard knocks, everyday is college
I learned everything I needed to know on the streets
You ain't did nothin I ain't did, nigga pay homage
Don't act like you're better than me - respect my hustle
Or pay the doctor, I sprayed lami's
You'll pay the price if you cross me
Still, the time'll reveal, you know I'm bein honest
If you're patient, you'll see that I'm always truthful
Ya ain't put my coat yet and I keep my shit in coat check
You haven't even started to understand me yet, and I keep my belongings safe
They say the truth shall come to the light
Eventually, the truth will always be known
So everybody grab your chains cause your boy that bright
My star power is shining bright - hold onto your jewelry
