Want a bad bitch who dress up in Dior, who drink codeine just like Leor

They gon' owe me an apology, I deserve me a ring like I'm Iverson

I'm feelin' like Kobe, shoot a thousand shots a day
Where I'm from, yeah, that ain't nothin', they shoot a thousand shots a day (brr)

The song "Rings" by Kap G is a boastful and aspirational ode to success, wealth, and luxury. Kap G begins the song by expressing his distaste for rapping on a pre-written verse, instead opting for free-styling. He then goes on to list the material possessions and experiences that he desires, such as a woman who drives a Benz, a Louis Vuitton lens, a Wraith with tinted windows, finer and designer things, and of course, rings. He also wants to own a Porsche, and to be the "bando", which is slang for an abandoned or vacant house that is used for drug dealing.
Kap G mentions numerous sports figures, including Bron-Bron (LeBron James), Draymond Green, Ray John (Ray Allen), and Neymar.

He also claims to have made someone's "main hoe" do all sorts of things, a reference to his ability to manipulate people.
