Rich and Filthy
Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your car stereo is state of the art,
My ghetto-blaster is fallin' apart.
But, Hey man! Your all show,
You only listen to techno (echo)
Scream!


Your ride goes from 0-60,
Well, my ride goes, yeah, Musta missed me
Cause I'm still standin' here watching you drive by!

Hey! Hey!

Chorus:
I am sick and you are healthy!
You are rich and I am filthy!
Con-grat-you-la-tions on all your Success!

I am poor and I am happy,
Your bling-bling will never trap me
Con-grat-you-la-tions on all you Excess!

Your new suit is made of silk,
Too bad you still look like Lawrence Wilk.
Well, your girlfriend just drove by and she gave me the eye (echo)

Your watch, yeah, it's a Rolex!
Well, My watch, yeah, it's a Timex!
But say,
Hey!
T's okay
Cause I'm the one who's on time!

Chorus

Money, money, money, hey!
Money, money, money (X4)

Money don't mean much to me! (x3)
Money don't mean much [????]

It'll be fine, just you and me,
I got good news: I won the lottery!!
But Hey! I'll save you seat at the country club (echo)





Chorus (repeat and get quieter

Overall Meaning

The song Rich and Filthy by Bif Naked is a commentary on the societal pressure of materialism and the idea that success is measured by wealth. The lyrics juxtapose the singer's lack of material possessions and financial stability against the excessive wealth of the subject of the song. The first verse talks about the differences in their cars and their music preferences, with the subject being all about appearances while the singer is more genuine. The second verse discusses how the subject's wealth is reflected in their appearance, with a silk suit and a Rolex watch, but how the singer is not impressed by these things. The chorus repeats the idea that the subject is rich and the singer is poor, but the singer is much happier than the subject. The final verse is sarcastic and suggests that the singer won the lottery but they still won't be swayed by the idea of wealth and instead will save a seat for the subject at the country club.


The song highlights the idea that money and material goods do not bring happiness and that true success should be measured by inner peace and fulfillment rather than wealth. It also critiques society's focus on appearances and the idea that success is only achieved through material possessions.

Thank you for the upload. I'm probably one of the more bigger fans of Bif Naked. Loved her with her first album 4 songs and a poem. Got to meet her a couple of times. She's sounds great live. If you can find anymore of these that would be fanastic. If I knew how to upload her videos from any of her DVD's or her CD's I do it myself. Thank you so very mucho....*\o/* for taking the time to find this one. If you can find Daddy's getting married I'd probably jump up and down with happiness!
