Rich Boy
Randy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say he was a spoiled and rotten kid because his parents had some money
They looked down on everything he did and said he acted kind of funny
They say he was confused and mentally abused just because he was a rich kid
All the kids in class always kicked his ass and looked down on everything that he did

When he is old he will own the world
When he grew up he got what he deserved
He was a rich boy
Brace yourself wont you mister
Rich boy got a little sister

She was spoiled and self-centered girl, with daddy's money in daddy's world
He called her sweetheart, he called her honey and then showered her with gifts and money
Still she's a problem child she always been too wild she always hang out with the riff raff
She was always sad, down, depressed and mad and you would never see her laugh

When she is old she will own the world
When she grew up she got what she deserved
She was a rich girl




Listen up now wont you mother
Rich girl got an older brother

Overall Meaning

The song Randy's song Rich Boy is about two children from a wealthy family, a son and a daughter. The song talks about how these children were often looked down upon by others, despite them having everything they could ever desire. The first verse is about the son, who is described as a spoiled and rotten kid by those around him. They say that people looked down on everything he did, and thought he was mentally abused just because he was born into a rich family. As a result, the kids in school always kicked his ass and made fun of him.


However, the song takes a more positive turn in the chorus. It says that when this boy grows up, he will own the world. It suggests that despite the challenges he faced as a child, his wealth and privilege will lead to success in the future. The next verse is about the daughter of the family, who is also portrayed as a problem child. She is a spoiled and self-centered girl, who hangs out with the riff-raff and is always sad and depressed. Despite her daddy's money and showering of gifts, she never seems to be happy.


Interestingly, the song takes a different approach to the daughter's future. While the chorus again suggests that she too will own the world, it says that she got what she deserved when she grew up. This implies that despite her wealth, she won't necessarily find the same level of success as her brother. Perhaps this is because she doesn't appreciate what she has, or because she struggles with personal issues outside of her wealth.


Overall, the song Rich Boy highlights some of the struggles that come with being born into a wealthy family. Despite having every material possession possible, these children are often looked down on by others and may struggle with their mental health. At the same time, the song suggests that wealth can lead to success in the future, but it all depends on how these children handle their privilege.
