RICKY
Denzel Curry & Tay Keith Lyrics

First they knockin', now they hoppin'
People used to underestimate me, but now that they see my success, they want to be a part of it.

All on the wave 'cause they see me poppin'
Everyone is trying to ride my wave of success now that they see I'm making it big.

Big-big large pockets, they start flockin'
Now that I have money, people are attracted to me and want to be around me.

Here's what I say when they ass keep knockin'
This is what I tell people who keep doubting me or trying to bring me down.

My daddy said, "Trust no man but your brothers"
My father taught me to only trust those who are really close to me.

"And never leave your day one's in the gutter"
My father also taught me to stick with the people who have been there for me from the beginning, no matter what.

"My daddy said, "Treat young girls like your mother""
My father told me to treat women with respect and kindness, just as he treats my mother.

"My momma said, "Trust no hoe, use a rubber""
My mother taught me to be cautious with women and to always use protection.

I'ma act
I am going to take action and demonstrate the values my parents taught me.

One, two, stop the track
Let me pause and provide some wisdom and advice.

Bring it back, what it do?
Let me reiterate my message and make sure you understand it.

See Ricky said, "Never let nobody get the one up on you"
My friend Ricky taught me to always stay one step ahead of anyone who tries to bring me down.

If they run up on you, hit 'em with a one, two
If someone tries to attack you, defend yourself with a strong punch or two.

Or a bitch slap, leave the cul-de-sac
If the situation does not require physical violence, use a verbal comeback and leave the area.

You're brothers gon' have your back regardless
Your close friends will always support you and have your best interest in mind.

And stick with your day one homies that was here before you started
Stay loyal to the friends who have been with you since the beginning and helped you get to where you are today.

And fear no man, but the man above your head
Do not be afraid of any human, but respect and admire a higher power or authority.

Pray before you got to bed, everything my momma said
Always remember to thank and seek guidance from a higher power, as my mother instructed me to do.

Ay, your momma ain't shit, your daddy ain't shit
Don't let anyone bring you down by insulting your family.

And I been makin' waves way before Nostalgic
I have been making a name for myself and achieving success long before most people knew who I was.

That was back in Carol City yeah, when I was just a jit
I started my journey to success in my hometown of Carol City, when I was just a kid.

With the all black faded Dicky with the Raider fit
I used to wear a specific outfit that represented my personality and style.

That was it, we was lit, y'all wasn't even shit yet
We were cool and popular, while the people who now want to be a part of our success were not even relevant yet.

We was Three 6, Wu-Tang mixed with Dipset
We had our own unique style and sound that combined elements of popular rap groups.

Ricky used to take me to my first shows ever
My friend Ricky introduced me to the world of music performances when I was just starting out.

Would only drop jewels way before they dropped cheddar
Ricky shared valuable advice and wisdom with me, even before we started making money from our music careers.
