The song "Tryna Make A Jug" by Gorilla Zoe is about the hustle and grind of the drug game. "Jug" is a slang term for making money or scoring big in the drug trade. The lyrics depict the artist's experiences and activities as he navigates through the streets, selling drugs and making a living. In the intro, Gorilla Zoe talks about the constant phone calls he receives from potential customers, indicating that he is in high demand. He mentions the need to weigh and package the drugs (scale and some bags) to fulfill the growing demand. Zoe also references meeting people at the trap (a location where drugs are sold) and how they can obtain large quantities for a significant amount of money. The hook emphasizes the process of obtaining drugs and quickly selling them (getting them in and getting them out). It suggests that making money and gaining fame in the drug game is the goal. The use of the phrase "tryna make a jug" indicates Zoe's determination to succeed and make substantial profits. Verse 1 delves into the methods Zoe uses to sell drugs, showcasing his skills as a dealer. He mentions his availability (hitting him on his chirp, referring to his pager or cellphone) and his willingness to make a play by selling narcotics. He brags about his ability to distribute drugs (hard white clay) and the profit he gains from selling them. Verse 2 features Big Gee, who also expresses his desire to make money through the drug trade. He talks about turning a small amount of drugs into a more significant quantity and the risks involved (referring to weapons and circling around the proper place). Big Gee emphasizes his determination to accumulate wealth and escape poverty. In Verse 3, Zoe boasts about his connections and expertise in the drug trade. He mentions his ability to obtain cocaine from overseas (speaks a little Spanish) and his success in the booty club (strip club) scene. He highlights his wealth and the variety of drugs he can provide (cocaine, kush) and the different ways he can package and distribute them. The song's outro reiterates the need to weigh and package drugs, emphasizing that Zoe's product is of high quality (mint green) and not inferior (mid). The reference to Bobby Brown is unclear but may imply that his drugs are pure and potent. The line "3 for 10" indicates the price and quantity of drugs offered. Overall, "Tryna Make A Jug" is a gritty and unapologetic depiction of the drug game, focusing on the pursuit of money, power, and success within the industry.
