JEEZY Album #ChurchInTheseStreets 

By: Lyndsay Brown

 

Jeezy dropped his highly anticipated album “Church In These Streets” on Nov. 13, 2015. The release comes after his 10 year anniversary celebration concert exclusive with Tidal. Read the HOOKEDUPB MAG review here.

The new album is a ‘breath of fresh air’ for the real G’s on these streets; there are several styles of Rap music out now, but it’s a big deal to have Jeezy bless us with more OG knowledge, current point of view, and inspiration again on a real level! During an interview on Breakfast Club Power 105.1 you get a feel for why the album is named “church in These Streets”. In the interview Jeezy talks about why he took the ‘Young’ out his name, and will go by the name ‘Jeezy’ now. Jeezy also talks about how he was incarcerated, and how he contemplated not doing this ish anymore (Rapping) because of it. Thankfully Jeezy decided that he would return to say all the things he learned, with no holding back!

 “Church in The Streets” has 19 tracks. Below I have written out some of the lyrics under the track title (as much as I could write without saying bad words lol):

Grind State

…“Every time you see me bitch I grind more, and every time you see me I’m in grind mode, my dream is to make a mill in a day, my dream is to make a mill by 12 t’day, and I can get it done”…

 

Lost Souls

…”Lord know, lord know they got me prayin’, for these lost souls, lord know, lord knows, they got me prayin’ for these lost souls, made me roll sell and sugar da badest bitches I ever see,n I couldn’t get enough of dem bitches, they was is in every dream”…

 

Holy Water

…“ya I need me a feel for that holy water, ya you know it’s on deck, ya we takin’ straight shots of this holy water ,ya I said it’s been a long week, so I’m taking shots straight to da head, one time for da ‘brothers’ incarcerated ”…

 

Hustlaz Holiday

“I got hustling on my resume, one thang ya neva eva hear a hustla say that he don’t want to hustle no More, no more, no more,  no more, no more, no more, no more, and its hustla’s holiday”…

…“this is hood royalty, No matter how broke or how rich, neva eva compromise your loyalty, medusa head on my Versace roll, standin’ on Apollo white bricks”…

 

Church in These Streets

…”all my street disciples’ turn’t in these streets, all my congregation turn’t in these streets, Call me pastor Young, I came to spread the word, spread the word”…

 

Scared of the Dark

…“They scared of the dark, they scared of the dark, they want the light, they want the light, they want to shine they want to shine, they want to shine”…  

 

 I feel ya

“ya, put your fam on ur back boy I feel ya,  put your hood on the map, boy I feel ya, we aint got say a word, boy I hear ya, that shit ya talkin’ ‘bout, sound so familiar yaa,  can’t make a move without ya strap, boy I feel ya”…

 

Just Win

“It’s necessary to get the losers out of your life if you want to live your dream, win my ‘bro’ just win it’s a dirty world, but that bitch still spin, and we don’t trust the preachers or the crooked politicians, the mf always talkin’, they don’t ever wanna listen”…

 

Forgive Me ft. Monica

…“ask me to help wit’ your weddin’, argument in front ya kids, hurts me to this very day, lamest shit I ever did, so please forgive me little sister, cause I know I hurt ya soul, your husband is a lucky man”…

 

 

If you can relate to what he is saying than you too must appreciate Jeezy’s come back. The album is currently #4 on Billboard’s Top 200. Check it out along with the music videos “Gold Bottles” (on the JeezyVEVO account), and “Hustlaz Holiday” (on the WSHH YouTube) both tracks are from the new album.
