Word Play
Young Jeezy Lyrics

You niggas want word play
You want me to play with words, but I'm focused on making money through selling drugs

But I'm bout bird play
I'm focused on making money through selling drugs, specifically cocaine referred to as 'birds'

1st of them month, yea we call that bird day
First of every month is when drug dealers expect pay day from their clients who owe them for the drugs they received, referred to as 'bird day'

Just look at em' fly (hey) [Repeat: x2]
The sight of the drugs being sold and making money from it is satisfying

3rd of the month, yea we call that bird day
Third of every month is another pay day for drug dealers which is another day referred to as 'bird day'

I'm way too intelligent
I'm very intelligent and won't allow people to underestimate me

To play wit my intelligence
I won't engage in any activities that undermine my intelligence

What you tryin' to say?
What's your point?

What I'm sayin's not relevant?
Are you trying to say that what I'm saying is not important?

I still represent
I still represent the drug dealers and the hustlers in the streets

Cause I'm a representa
Because I'm a representative of the street life and the drug game

3 Benz and just for a 9 PC chicken dinner
I have three Mercedes-Benz cars and I can afford to treat my friends to a 9-piece chicken dinner

Young boss right back like a rubber band
I'm back and ready to take control like a rubber band snaps back

Bought a whip 'look y'all, no hands'
I bought a car and I'm showing off by driving without holding the steering wheel

'Stop this nonsense where's your roof?'
Someone is questioning where the roof of my car is, questioning why I'm showing off while not having a roof over my head

All dis nonsense, there's no use
These complaints about my behavior are useless and don't affect me

Married to the game yea we just got eloped
I'm committed to the drug game and the hustling lifestyle, referring to it as marriage and recently pledging my commitment to it

Depending on the shipment we might need a boat
We're dealing with a lot of drugs and we might need a boat to transport them

I'm talking big money anybody any on the case
I'm making a lot of money and anyone who wants to make some money can join my operations

Yea we switched up the status now we on to the states
We have a new status and we're expanding our operations to other states

It just a waste wit all hip hop
Hip hop is just a waste of time

Young killed hip hop?
Did I kill hip hop?

'Don't you know this dumb nigga still talkin' crack rocks'
People criticize me for still talking about selling drugs

Got everybody followin' that makes him a leader
My drug dealing activities have led others to follow and imitate me, making me a leader of sorts

And he got to get indicted just to make u a believer
I had to get indicted for drug charges for people to believe I was really selling drugs

If that's that case then I really do apologize
If that's what it takes for people to believe me, then I apologize for not delivering enough evidence

That I memorize
I have a good memory

And I fantasize
I dream about making even more money and living the good life

Then I visualize
I visualize achieving those dreams

And I strategize
I plan and strategize how to make those dreams a reality

One false move will get your ass penalized
A single mistake in this game can cost you heavily

Nigga you can't be serious
You can't be serious with your criticism or questions

What if Pac was hearing this
What if Tupac was alive to hear this?

'You bullshitting me?'
Are you kidding me?

I'm sure biggie would agree
I'm certain that if Notorious B.I.G was alive, he would agree with my perspective

If he had to pass the torch, then that bitch'll go to me
If Biggie had to pass on his legacy, I would be the one to inherit it

Now wouldn't you agree?
Don't you agree with my take on things?

Does it matter? I accept
Whether you agree or not isn't important to me, I accept things as they are

Have you ever see a blue rolls go on the black grass?
Have you ever seen a blue Rolls-Royce on the black asphalt of the street?

Nigga go broke in investing a black mask
Someone could go broke trying to invest in a way to mask their identity while committing crimes

Entrepreneur he found him a new crack
An entrepreneur found a new product or business idea that has the potential to be very successful, much like the drug trade

A round of applause congratulate that nigga
Let's give him a round of applause, he deserves it for his success

Cause when he get rich they goin' hate that nigga
Because when someone becomes successful, there will always be people who envy or hate them for it

They goin' try they best to try n break that nigga
Those who hate him will try their best to sabotage his success or bring him down

[Chorus]
Repeating the main idea of the song, that people want wordplay while he's focused on birdplay, making money through selling drugs
