Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ooh, ooh, so in love
Ooh, so in love (yeah)
Ooh, so in love (yeah, yeah, uh)
You love Rihanna but you ain't a savage (nah, nah)
Don't act like you perfect, you know that we both got some baggage (yeah, yeah)
I was callin' ya mama and you was callin' my accountants (damn, damn)
Look, tell me how the hell you got to Paris and Phuket (uh)
Shawty too fine but I bet she the bullet in roulette (yeah)
I'm lookin' so clean, lookin' like Three Stacks in Gillette (yeah)
She five for five on live, she want a jet
Need some rent, bonafide
Broke my heart three times (ooh)
Shawty hit a nigga with the peace sign (ayy, ooh)
Wasn't with me since I had the Nissan (ayy, ooh)
Blinded by your beauty, missin these signs (ayy, ooh)
Wish I had three eyes
Broke my heart three times (ooh)
Shawty hit a nigga with the peace sign (ayy, ooh)
Wasn't with me since I had the Nissan (ayy, ooh)
One was okay (okay, ayy), two wasn't cool (yeah)
But that three was no way (ooh)
Nobody said things would get easier (easier, easier)
You gotta believe me
Nobody said things would get easier (easier, easier)
I thought you loved me but shoutout Imani (yeah, yeah)
You had you a baby and now lil' momma's a mommy (yeah, uh, uh)
And shoutout to loader, that coochie as wet as Dasani (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Pussy so good it should cost a Ferrari
And make me feel like I'm on Molly (true)
Damn, Jesus, I need this, you was Kelly, I was Regis
Let's be honest, I been fuckin' with ya since my Air Forces had the creases (woo)
Flaunt like a Don, Yoko Ono, solo, strong
Stuck in limbo for how long? Please tell me where I belong
Broke my heart three times (ooh)
Shawty hit a nigga with the peace sign (ayy, ooh)
Wasn't with me since I had the Nissan (ayy, ooh)
Blinded by your beauty, missin these signs (ayy, ooh)
Wish I had three eyes
Broke my heart three times (ooh)
Shawty hit a nigga with the peace sign (ayy, ooh)
Wasn't with me since I had the Nissan (ayy, ooh)

In Aminé's song "RiRi", the artist reflects on a tumultuous relationship with a woman who he loves, but is not a "savage" like the famous singer Rihanna. Aminé admits that both he and his lover have emotional baggage and have caused each other headaches but are still in love. He questions how she managed to travel to Paris and Phuket, and though she is beautiful, he believes she is the "bullet in roulette." He also references wanting to rent some space, highlighting his financial woes and her expensive taste.
The chorus repeats that the woman broke Aminé's heart three times, and though he wishes he had seen the signs sooner, he is still struck by her beauty. Aminé then reflects on how things didn't get easier, despite his belief that they would, and mentions the woman's new role as a mom. He describes the woman's sexuality as being like "Dasani" water, an allusion to the brand's slogan "Pure and Refreshing," and he compares the feeling of being with her to being on the drug MDMA.
The song's mood is reflective and bittersweet, with Aminé admitting that he has been hurt but still longing for what once was. The repeated lines of the chorus and the use of a simple, catchy refrain in the bridge make the song memorable and relatable.
