Out of all the Jeezy quotes, this may be my favorite. I heard this Jeezy lyric 12 years ago when I was a senior in college. It has stuck with me over the years. A lot of children want to be able to give back to their mother or father once they become successful and are able to. I know I want to make sure my mother is taken care of. This is one of the things I think about if I lose a little motivation.

Young Jeezy’s The Recession 2, an album that revisits themes of struggle and resilience, offering a reflection on personal growth and the challenges of overcoming adversity in today’s world.
