Gin and Juice - Lyrics

Lyrics

The lyrics depict a party filled with sex, marijuana, and alcohol continuing into the small hours of the morning. The iconic chorus is:

Rollin' down the street smokin' indo'

Sippin' on gin and juice

Laid back (with my mind on my money and my money on my mind).

One critic describes the chorus as representative of "the G-funk tableau" emphasizing cruising culture, consumption of depressants, and materialism. The last line is an example of chiasmus, the figure of speech in which two or more clauses are related to each other through a reversal of structures in order to make a larger point. The focus on money is shared throughout Hip Hop, including It's All About the Benjamins, Money Makes the World Go Round, Get Money, and Foe Tha Love of $.
