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,
[Verse 1:]
When they see me off in traffic they say
Jeezy on some otha shit, send them pussy niggas runnin straight back to the dealership, me I'm in my spaceship that's right I work for NASA, this 7-H is not a fraud call dat bitch my bodyguard, call dat bitch his bodyguard (yeah dats my bodyguard) out of jewelery 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 spot so 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 this super cake, hundred carrot bracelet I use it like some super bait,
[Chorus: x2]
I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
Put on Eastside, Put on Southside, Put on Westside, Put on let's go.
[Verse 2:]
Head back, top back, ain't nothing but a young thug, H-K's A-K's I need to join a gun club big wheels big straps you know I like it super sized passengers a red bone her weave look like some curly fries inside fish sticks, outside tartar sauce, pocket full of celery imagine what she's telling me, blowin on asparagus the realist shit I ever smoked riding to that trap or die the realist shit I ever wrote, they know I got that broccoli so I keep that glock on me don't get caught with out one comin from where I'm from, Call me Jeezy Hamliton Flying down campbellton
So fresh so clean on my way to Charlene
[Chorus x2]
[Verse 3: Kanye West using autotuner]
I put on, I put on, I put on
I put on for my city, I put on for my, I put on my city, I put for my city onwwwon
I Feel like it's still niggas that owe me checks
I feel like it's still bitches that owe me sex
I feel like dis but niggas don't know these 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 the chain man that don't mean shit
cause when the Jesus pieces can't bring me peace so I need just at least one of Russel's nieces onnnnnnn
I let my nightmares go I put on everybody that I knew from the go
I know hoes that was fronting when they knew we was broke
they say damn yezy yezy you don't know us no more
you got the big fame homie and you just changed on me you can ask big homie man the top so lonely III...
so lonely III...

I'm high as a satellite I see them flashing lights cause every night I put on.
[Chorus x2]
I put on for my city, on on for my city
I put on for my city, on on for my city
Put on Eastside, Put on Southside, Put on Westside, Put on let's go.
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,

did he for real just rhyme broccoli?
Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
It's "wear a lot of jewelery, Young don't do security". Also in Kanye's part it's "So lonely I ain't lyinnnnnn, so lonely I ain't lyyiiyyyinn." Roughly spelled out but you get it.
Anyways, such a sick song. Great beat and lyrics bring this together. I'm still kinda deliberating on whether or not Kanye's mentioned girl that he lost is his mother or his wife. Any clarification? Also, who the hell is Russell and his nieces?
I would assume that Rusell is Russell Simmons. So, one of his nieces would be the daughter of his brother Rev Run
The girl he lost best was his mother, she died around the time they were producing this song.
Umm its
"I still feel like there's still niggas that owe me checks, i feel like there's still bitches that owe me sex"
F.Y.I. to put on is to make someone/something better; to represent someone or something (ex. a city/town) that puts this person/thing/establishment in a positive light
One word to describe this song... Perfect. Jeezy totally did it.
I'm probably wrong, but for some reason I hear him saying "When they see me up in traffic they say Jeezy owns a mothership." at the beginning. Doesn't that make more sense, in context? Does anyone else hear this? I can't seem to find that interpretation anywhere on the net.
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
He's tired of feeling insure, naked. He wants to clothe himself and make the world a better place.
