Butter block or Ferrari's! ('Raris!)
And Porsche's with the double doors (doors!)

Y'all gon give me my respect, cause I earned that! (earned that, nigga!)

Overall Meaning

The song "Just Like That" by Bun B and Young Jeezy is a classic hip-hop track that speaks the truth about the harsh realities of the street life. The song is all about oozing confidence and the fact that the rappers have earned it by working hard and taking risks in their chosen field. The lyrics are an ode to their street credibility, their financial success, and their ability to overcome obstacles. They share their journey from selling drugs on the streets to making music in the studio and even touch on the fact that they are misunderstood by many and are only truly understood by those who have been through similar struggles.


The lyrics are filled with metaphors and wordplay, such as "shaper than a sickle," "plated niggas hate it," and "love this thug shit." It's a celebration of self and the realization that they are respected and admired by others in their community. They talk about their pursuit of money and compare it to the yellow brick road in the Wizard of Oz. They are confident and assertive in their delivery, and the beat serves to amplify the intensity of their words.
