Overall Meaning

In "Yayo," Young Jeezy raps about living a lavish lifestyle fueled by his successful drug-dealing business. The title "Yayo" is a street term for cocaine, and the lyrics depict his attitude towards the drug trade. He starts off the track by acknowledging that his success in the drug trade has brought him wealth and power. Jeezy mentions that he knows drugs have indebted his customers to him, further perpetuating his infinite income. He goes on to boast that he sees people watching him, seemingly envious of his success, but he's unconcerned because he knows he can hold onto his position at the top.


Jeezy’s lyrics in "Yayo" carry a gloomy connotation. There's a sense of pride and satisfaction in selling drugs, but also a deep sense of nihilism, a feeling that he is caught up in something dark but can't or won't escape it. Even when he makes all the money he wants, he seems unable to leave the drug trade behind. There's a sense of fear that something might happen; that he might lose control of his life. However, Jeezy’s message is also one of resilience, displaying his determination to keep his spot on top.
