Now, right now
Now, right now
Now, right now
Now
I let her count it, too much to balance
I can't even balance
And she work at Palace
And a bitch that's Magic
And she me let me have it
She let me smash it, she let me pass it
Baby no cap (baby no cappin')
I'm on the block, I got the Glock
I want the static
I got the bitch all on the pipe, just like a addict
I got the bih all on the pipe calling me daddy
I'm with the stick, I'm in the 6, I'm in the wagon
I'm in the bitch, I'm in the bricks, I'm in the ashes
I got that white, I got that dope, I got that ashy
Sellin' that soap, sellin' that soap, selling that nasty
I'm on the block, just like a po', fuckin' a bandit
I'm on the block, I got them Rolls, I got them Benjis
We gotta go, we gotta go, hop in the Ghost
Then I go ghost
Ooh, ooh

The song "Right Now" by Playboi Carti showcases the rapper's devotion to his luxurious lifestyle and the many women who come with it. In the opening lines, Carti admits that he has too much money to handle and that he's got a woman in his palace, who also happens to work at the high-end department store, Palace. He references another woman who is "magic" and is willing to do anything he wants, even if it means letting him have sex with her. However, Carti isn't just focused on the women; he's also got drugs to sell, money to make, and enemies to watch out for. He brags about having a Glock and wanting "static," which could mean trouble or a confrontation with someone. Carti's verse is repetitive and almost chaotic in nature, which mirrors the fast-paced lifestyle he describes.
The second verse focuses on Carti's wealth and his ability to stay fresh and fashionable. He name-drops Bill Gates, suggesting that he's got a lot of money like the famous entrepreneur. Carti also boasts about having cash, expensive cars, and designer clothes, flexing on anyone who might have doubted him. The chorus repeats several times throughout the song, with Carti rapping about women who want to be with him right now and the money that's coming in. The lyrics of the song highlight Carti's hedonistic lifestyle, where he's more focused on fleeting pleasures and material possessions than anything else.
