Young Jeezy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I put on, I put on, I put on, I put on
I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city

When they see me off in traffic, they say "Jeezy on some other shit"
Send them pussy niggas runnin' straight back to the dealership
Me I'm in my spaceship, thats right I work for N.a.s.a
This 7H is not a fraud, call that bitch my bodyguard
Call that bitch your bodyguard? Yeah, that's my bodyguard
Wear a lot of jewelry, Young don't do security
What's whiter than a napkin, harder than a dinner plate
If you want it come and get it, you know I stay super straight
Ran up in my spots and now I'm workin' Out the Super 8
Know you niggas hungry, come and get a super plate
Y'all sing happy birthday, yeah I got that super cake
Hundred karat bracelet, I use it like some super bait

I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
Put on (east side) Put on (south side) Put on (west side) Put on

I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
Put on (east side) Put on (south side) Put on (west side) Put on

Half bag, top back,
Ain't nothin' but a young thug
HKs, AK's, I need to join a gun club
Big wheels, big straps,
You know I like it super sized
Passenger's a red-bone,
Her Weave look like some curly fries
Inside fish sticks, outside tartar sauce
Pocket full of celery,
Imagine what she tellin' me
Blowin' on asparagus,
The realest shit I ever smoked
Ridin' to that Trap or Die,
The realest shit I ever wrote
They know I got that broccoli,
So I keep that glock on me
Don't get caught without one,
Comin' from where I'm from
Call me Jeezy Hamilton,
Flyin' down Campbellton
So fresh, so clean,
On my way to Charlene

I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
Put on (east side) Put on (south side) Put on (west side) Put on

I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
Put on (east side) Put on (south side) Put on (west side) Put on

I put on, I put on, I put on
I put on for my city, I put on for my
I put on for my city, I put on for my city, on

I feel like there's still niggas that owe me checks
I feel like there's still bitches that owe me sex
I feel like this but niggas don't know the stress
I lost the only girl in the world that know me best
I got the money and the fame and that don't mean shit
I got the Jesus on a chain, man that don't mean shit
Cause when the Jesus pieces can't bring me peace
Sure I need just at least one of Russell's nieces on
I let my nightmares go I put on,
Everybody that I knew from the go
I know hoes that was frontin' when they knew he was broke
They say damn, Yeezy Yeezy, you don't know us no more
You got that big fame homie, and you just changed on me
You can ask big homie, man the top so lonely
I ain't lyin', so lonely I ain't lyin'
Let me see what we have tonight (what we have tonight)
I'm high as a satellite (satellite)
I see those flashin' lights (flashin' lights)
Cause every night (every night) I put on

I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
Put on (east side) Put on (south side) Put on (west side) Put on

I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
Put on (east side) Put on (south side) Put on (west side) Put on

Let me see what we have tonight (what we have tonight)
I'm high as a satellite (satellite)
I see those flashin' lights (flashin' lights)
Cause every night (every night)
Let me see what we have tonight




I'm high as a satellite

Overall Meaning

In this song, Young Jeezy is celebrating his success and the pride he has for his hometown, Atlanta. He boasts about his luxurious lifestyle and the respect he has earned in the industry. Jeezy also addresses the downside of fame, the loss of personal relationships, the betrayal of close friends, and the emptiness that comes with success. The chorus, where he repeats β€œI put on for my city,” is a rallying cry for anyone who feels proud of where they come from and wants to represent their community.


Throughout the first verse, Jeezy emphasizes his wealth and power, describing himself riding in a spaceship and the expensive jewelry he wears. He also addresses those who are jealous of his success, and how they β€œrun straight back to the dealership” when they see him coming. Verse two is a bit more laid back, with Jeezy rapping about driving around town in his fancy car, eating fast food, and smoking expensive weed. He mentions his Christian faith by referencing a gold Jesus piece he wears as a chain, and questioning its effectiveness in bringing him inner peace.


The song ends with Jeezy’s thoughts on the loneliness that comes with fame and his desire to have genuine relationships with others. Despite his success, he misses the people he used to know before he became famous. Nevertheless, he still takes pride in his city and himself, and shows it by repeating the lyrics that make up the chorus.

This is an all time top 10 motivational song. The beat is out of this world, completely flawless. And Jeezy goes hard for sure, but Kanye West takes this to a completely stratospheric level.

β€œI lost the only girl in the world that know me best. I got the money and the fame man that don’t mean shit”

β€œI let my nightmares go, I put on everybody that I knew from the go, I know hoes that was frontin when they knew we was broke”

β€œYou can ask big homie (GOD) man the top so lonely”

Each one of those lines tells a deep, deep story. This song should never ever be forgotten. I pray for all of my brothers and sisters out there going thru the struggle....keep grinding, keep putting on.
