3OH!3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pretty babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey Dj, won't you play that song for me,
And my homie, and my homies all singin' to it,
3oh, 3oh, 3
I ain't callin' for a close-up,
No clubs, no cars, bitches with the nose jobs,
I'm 'a do it how I always have
Whiskey in a forty bag,
Pissin' in the alleyway out back where the party's at,
I'm 'a spend it on a new whip, new hat, new kicks,
Bitches with the huge tits, new gat, new slips,
I'm 'a do it how I always do
Sleep until the break of noon,
Wakin' just to make it through another night of shakin' you
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey DJ, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got two hundred seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Pretty babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey DJ, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got two hundred seconds and I'm ready to go,
I ain't signin' on a new lease,
No cooks, no keys,
Models with the nose bleeds,
White lace, gold beads,
I'm 'a run it like a marathon
Party till I'm fifty,
Wake up on my parent's lawn
Them cops still out to get me,
And I ain't sippin' on a mixed drink, pinkie out, lips pink,
Talkin' to a rich skank filled up like a sperm bank,
I'm 'a go where I always go
Drinks are on the house,
Whiskey's on the rocks while your sister's on my mouth,
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey DJ, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got two hundred seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Pretty babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey DJ, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got two hundred seconds and I'm ready to go,
And if I was a rich man,
I'd never been to sea,
Could I take you anyways,
Would you come with me, baby?
And if I was a sick man,
I'd never meant to be,
Would you love me anyways,
And would you marry me?
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey DJ, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got two hundred seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Pretty babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey DJ, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got two hundred seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Three babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey DJ, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got two hundred seconds and I'm ready to go,
I mean what can I say,
Pretty babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Hey DJ, won't you play that song for me,
And turn it up on your radio,
I got two hundred seconds and I'm ready to go,
The lyrics of 3OH!3's "Richman" seem to be about a man who is enjoying the party lifestyle, but is also aware of the superficiality and limitations of that lifestyle. He doesn't want material possessions or status symbols like cars, clubs, or models with nose bleeds. Instead, he prefers to stick to what he knows - partying with his friends, drinking whiskey in a brown paper bag, and ogling women with large breasts. The chanting of "3oh, 3oh, 3" seems to be a reference to the band's name.
The singer also seems to be nostalgic for a simpler time, when he could just sleep in and party with his friends without worrying about responsibilities or the consequences of his actions. However, he also seems to be aware that his lifestyle is unsustainable and has a limited shelf life. When he asks the DJ to play a song for him, it's like he's trying to hold onto that feeling a little longer.
Towards the end of the song, there's a sudden shift in tone. The singer starts to talk about being a "rich man" and wanting to take someone on an adventure, but also wondering if that person would still love him if he were sick. This seems to be a more vulnerable side of the singer, suggesting that he might be looking for something deeper and more meaningful than just a good party.

I mean what can I say,
I don't know what else to say
Pretty babies in the backseat singin' to you,
Attractive young people in the car are singing
Hey DJ, won't you play that song for me,
Requesting for the DJ to play a specific song
And my homie, and my homies all singin' to it,
The group of friends are all singing along to the song
3oh, 3oh, 3
Chanting the name of the band
I ain't callin' for a close-up,
Not asking for too much attention or fame
No clubs, no cars, bitches with the nose jobs,
Avoiding the pretentiousness of club and car culture and fake women
No dubs, no stars,
Not interested in flashy cars or celebrity lifestyle
I'm 'a do it how I always have
Sticking to the same old way of doing things
Whiskey in a forty bag,
Drinking whiskey from a 40-ounce paper bag
Pissin' in the alleyway out back where the party's at,
Urinating in the alley behind where the party is located
I'm 'a spend it on a new whip, new hat, new kicks,
Planning to spend money on a new car, hat, and shoes
Bitches with the huge tits, new gat, new slips,
Seeking out women with large breasts, new gun, new underwear
I'm 'a do it how I always do
Continuing to live the same way as usual
Sleep until the break of noon,
Sleeping until midday
Wakin' just to make it through another night of shakin' you
Waking up only to go through another night of partying and hooking up with someone
And turn it up on your radio,
Asking the DJ to increase the volume of the music
I got two hundred seconds and I'm ready to go,
Ready to party and have a good time for the next 200 seconds
I ain't signin' on a new lease,
Not agreeing to a new rental agreement
No cooks, no keys,
Not interested in chefs or car keys
Models with the nose bleeds,
Avoiding models who have a sense of superiority
White lace, gold beads,
Reference to outdated fashion styles
I'm 'a run it like a marathon
Living life like a long-distance race
Party till I'm fifty,
Party until middle age
Wake up on my parent's lawn
Pass out and wake up on his parents' lawn
Them cops still out to get me,
The police are still targeting him
And I ain't sippin' on a mixed drink, pinkie out, lips pink,
Not drinking fancy cocktails with a raised pinkie or colorful lips
Talkin' to a rich skank filled up like a sperm bank,
Conversing with a promiscuous, wealthy woman
I'm 'a go where I always go
Going to typical places he frequents
Drinks are on the house,
Getting free drinks
Whiskey's on the rocks while your sister's on my mouth,
Drinking whiskey while kissing someone's sister
And if I was a rich man,
If he were wealthy
I'd never been to sea,
He wouldn't have traveled much
Could I take you anyways,
Asking if the person would still accompany him
Would you come with me, baby?
Asking the person to join him
And if I was a sick man,
If he was unwell
I'd never meant to be,
He wouldn't have planned to be ill
Would you love me anyways,
Asking if the person would still love him
And would you marry me?
Asking the person to marry him
