Rich Girl$
Down with Webster Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're a rich girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money, money won't get you too far, get you too far

It feels like we haven't seen each other in years
Why don't you join me for a couple of beers, clink, cheers
Wow, I seen you on my FaceBook profile
Sending me a message and then offerin' the smiles out
How's your dad doing, still rakin' in that dough, huh?
You're supposed to laugh that's a joke hun
I like to poke fun, so don't take it to the heart
Last time I heard you was in school studying art
So what, you dropped out and now your work in the bar
But I thought you had it made a big house and a car
I'ma try to get paid for what I say on stage
But if you're already paid then I guess you got it made

You're a rich girl and it's gone too far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone to far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money, money won't get you too far, get you too far

We're together now, we haven't seen each other in days
I'm on the road trying to make my way okay!
Cause going at the clubs ain't cheap
And neither are the clothes on your back
Or the shoes on your feet girl
Your daddy got the dough that's right
His people he be breakin you off yeah off
In her world, a boat's a yacht, a king size bed's a cot
A million's not a lot
I'm just tryna get paid for what I say on stage
But if your already paid then I guess you got it made

You're a rich girl and it's gone to far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone to far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money, money won't get you too far, get you too far

There ain't no justice in the halls
I saw the writing on the wall
Dad's money's gonna back it up girlfriend
Dad's money just to back it up girl
I saw you headed for a fall
I was the one who made the call
Dad's money's gonna back it up girlfriend
Dad's money just a back it up girl

You're a rich girl and it's gone to far
'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
You can rely on the old man's money
You can rely on the old man's money
It's a bitch girl and it's gone to far




'Cause you know it don't matter anyway
Say money, money won't get you too far, get you too far

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Rich Girl$ by Down with Webster convey the message that being rich is not everything in life. The song talks about two different perspectives; one from the artist who is trying to make it big in the music industry and the other from a rich girl. The girl is portrayed as someone who relies solely on her family's wealth rather than on her own abilities. The artist struggles to make a living, perform at various clubs, and make his way up the ladder, while the girl is content with her father's money. Hence, the lyrics are a commentary on the importance of hard work and dedication, rather than relying solely on monetary support.


The artist tries to make the girl see that being rich isn't everything and that she should strive to achieve success on her own without relying on her father's money. The lyrics of the song also talk about the irony of the situation. Even though the artist is struggling to make a living, he is still content with what he has. On the other hand, the girl who has everything is still not happy. The song conveys the message that being rich does not guarantee happiness and that true happiness comes from within.


Overall, the lyrics of the song Rich Girl$ are a commentary on the superficiality of material wealth and how it is important to find happiness within oneself rather than relying solely on external factors like money.

I live in a little town pop. 18,500 in Canada and DWW came and played one night in -30c. It was probably the most epic thing ever to happen in this town!
