Rich Bitch
3 Feet Smaller Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let me do the things I want
I don't need your advice at all
whatever comes will pass someday but I'll go on with my own way
Look at my swimming pool my cars my stuff and envy me, I might be an asshole but I've got everything I don't need. You count yourself lucky cuz you're healthy and you've got a good sexlife, I might pay for mine, but I am still in line
Don't even think for a minute I'm crazy I'm not really so lazy, I just want you to praise me are you feeling me now? I have so much money to buy a whole country plus people just for me, do you hate me now?
I am what you call a rich bitch I got my own cemetery and you'll get buried in a ditch, envy me, constantly I've got money, money, money
Drug dealer baby, need any speed?
The song "Rich Bitch" by 3 Feet Smaller portrays the mindset of a person who has attained everything in life that money can buy. The lyrics describe the material possessions of the individual, including a penthouse, swimming pool, and cars. Despite having everything, the person is still not satisfied and doesn't care about the opinions or advice of others. The lyrics suggest that having too much can lead to losing everything and having too little can lead to not having anything at all. The individual sees themselves as independent and self-sufficient, buying washing machines for fun and not relying on anyone else. The chorus expresses the individual's self-identification as a "rich bitch" who is envied for their wealth.
One interesting fact about this song is that it was released in 2007 as a single and later included in the album "One Night Stand," which debuted at #1 in the Austrian charts. The band gained popularity in Europe and continues to tour and release music. The song's title and chorus have been criticized for promoting a materialistic and self-centered mindset.
Another interesting fact is that the lyrics mention drug use with the line "Drug dealer baby, need any speed?" This has been a controversial topic in music, with some praising artists for depicting real-life struggles and others condemning them for glamorizing drug use.
