Young Jeezy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
But i came in this game for the music
Tryna show em the real me
And i ain't gon lie, I'm after the clout and the money
If a nigga tryna cross me i call him a dummy
I just keep on, chasin, dollar bills
But i came in this game for the music
Yea uh uh
I was way too gangster play with me it
Could get ugly
Like the gangsters in hood
Mess it rup it could get dusty
I was way too heavy in hood that's were my trust be
Stole from all my neighbours made it rain like it's a gumtree
Fake niggas did me dirty
Way too nasty now they need me
I'm the boynextdoor your mama flirt
We you used too cuddle
Thugging with no mask on
I ain't fake it way too gangster
Mamacita bitch she a foreign lady with an accent
50 shades of black
She say she blocked me now she inbox me
All my JR homies are my brothers like we family
Yeah
Thugging with no mask on i was sheisty
Yeah
She was just a baller we named her kobe
Yeah
I just keep on chasin dollar bills
But i came in this game for the music
Tryna show em the real me
And i ain't gon lie, I'm after the clout and the money
If a nigga tryna cross me i call him a dummy
I just keep on, chasin, dollar bills
But i came in this game for the music
Yea uh uh
I keep operating on the beat like a sergeant
I bleed on the mic and this niggas my patients
Brainless nigga look at me like a vacant
Start a lil business now you think you is a merchant
Now where is your manors nigga
I just walk in the spot like i own it nigga
Keep attacking this beat don't you panic nigga
Life a journey everybody is apart of
But not a journey everybody can start off
We all get to die but don't all get to live
All of these birds got wings, but some of these birds can't fly
Man that is the way it goes, it a life cycle don't ask me why
I feel like a visitor in my own body
Made a new me then i gotta say hi
Been wearing this mask for a long time
Now I'm really tryna show the real me
I just wonder how the world will take
Fake niggas they resent me
And my real ones never forsake me
But i pray to God he's gon guide me
Yea
But i pray to God he's gon guide me
I just keep on chasin dollar bills
But i came in this game for the music
Tryna show em the real me
And i ain't gon lie, I'm after the clout and the money
If a nigga tryna cross me i call him a dummy
I just keep on, chasin, dollar bills
But i came in this game for the music
Yea uh uh
Writing my verse on the spot
Could figure the flow I should drop so decide to go with the real me (real me)
Fighting my thought in the dark when I put it on beats all these niggas they praise like song is a temple (temple)
I'm the original (original)
But you won't find me at pep ain't no money to value me (value me)
Niggas want beef on the stage I be telling them niggas to value meat (value meat)
My verse on the go to the count of the 3 where the volume at (volume at)
They got me on pc to study my elements, with no relevance
look at the elegance (elegance)
I bring in the elephant (elephant)
From the tenement (woo)
No competition ain't no tournament (tournament)
They living a nightmare so they sleep on me
Talent's a magnet got it stuck with me
Gimme throne (throne, who that boy trvp slay)
It's the take over
I'm with your lady to give me the leg over
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
