Put On
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)

Overall Meaning

The opening line of Young Jeezy's "Put On," with the repetition of "I put on," highlights the artist's determination to represent his city, Atlanta. Young Jeezy talks about how his success has put him in a different class than most of his peers, stating that when people see him in his luxurious car, they know it's "some other s###," and it drives the "p***y n****rs" right back to the dealership. Throughout the song, Jeezy emphasizes that they are coming from an area where guns and violence are prevalent, but he continues to strive for success while others are deprived of it. Lines like "Half bag, top back" and "Big wheels, big straps/You know I like it super sized" describe Young Jeezy's love for flashy cars and even more grandiose weapons, reveling in the lyrics of what he sees as a life of being a "young thug." Furthermore, the line that says "I got the money and the fame and that don't mean shit" can be seen as Young Jeezy's way of saying that nothing really matters if you aren't representing your city.


Overall, "Put On" is an anthem about the city of Atlanta and Young Jeezy's determination to put it on the map. He takes pride in his city, and even though he’s made it to the big leagues, he won’t forget where he comes from. Jeezy cleverly uses his lyrics to rep his city and points out his β€œsuccess” in the game with the flashy lifestyle, but ultimately the message is about pushing and striving for your own dreams.

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.
