He dropped out of his studies of mechanical engineering at Tuskegee University in order to concentrate on music. With a few demo releases, he was noticed by producer Polow da Don. Rich Boy then signed a contract with Zone 4 through Interscope Records in 2006 and started to work on his debut album. In the meantime, he made guest appearances on one of Ludacris' Disturbing tha Peace compilations and on a few mix tapes, such as Comeback Season by Canadian rapper Drake and Da Bottom, Vol. 5 by DJ Ideal and Jermaine Dupri. On March 13, 2007, Rich Boy released his self-titled debut album and with the success of his hit singles "Throw Some D's," "Boy Looka Here," "Good Things," and "Let's Get This Paper," the album went on to be certified Gold by the RIAA.
His second album will be entitled 5 Million. He said in an interview with djbooth.net that the first single will be released in the summer and indeed, the title will be 5 Million. However, the album title was recently reported as being changed to Buried Alive.
And I Love You
Rich Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who would ever thought that me and you would get the cream?
We took a lot of trips together, you stayed down
Remember when we start hoppin' on that Greyhound?
She say she like to play hide and seek in the ride
And sure I'll open up the trunk and hide her inside
She say she think I'm cheatin' wit a girl named Jane
I was broke but you made things better
As long as me and you together, we can get this cheddar
Whatever, her name White Sally
I met her through my homeboy Rico out in Cali
I thank Reagan for the haters when ya got hard
You bought me jewels, Gator shoes and some big cars
Yeah, you took me out in the hood, gave me good thangs
Now we on a private plane eatin' chicken wings, come on
(And I love you)
You the reason why I ride good
You the reason why I shop good
Drink good, smoke good
(And I love you)
You the reason why these hoes choose
You the reason why a nigga sprayed
Candy on my old school
(And I love you)
You the reason why I quarterback
Took a nigga out the projects
Put me in a cul-de-sac
That's why I get it how I live, boy
'Cause you took me
From a young broke nigga to a Rich Boy
And I love you, baby, muah, hugs and kisses
Fuck them niggas and fuck them bitches
Been in this game since 1998
Nigga, take the safety and shit but I'm great
Maybe it's fate, destiny, you tell me
Damn near ten and that shit been free
But I'm PT so I gots to cruise, nigga
Really ain't shit to prove to y'all niggas
All the cars, all the clothes
Wit all the stars and all the hoes
First class flights, a nigga live in the lights
But see you in the dark, this stuff is kinda hard
See where I park, valet costs a note
Drop another fifty just to check my coat
Probably leave wit yo' chick, know how I do
It's Pastor Disaster, baby, I love you
(And I love you)
You the reason why I ride good
You the reason why I shop good
Drink good, smoke good
(And I love you)
You the reason why these hoes choose
You the reason why a nigga sprayed
Candy on my old school
(And I love you)
You the reason why I quarterback
Took a nigga out the projects
Put me in a cul-de-sac
That's why I get it how I live, boy
'Cause you took me
From a young broke nigga to a Rich Boy
Took me from a gun totin' nigga to a Big Boi
Too legit to slip, now I got papers on my shit, boi
And not just a weapon, I'm talkin' 'bout titles and deeds
You payin' rent you can't afford and can't break out of your lease
I'm out of your league, I might as well be Ivy
All over ya ass like injections in a stripper's hiney
Rhyming is a skill that requires timing
Like dual ejaculation while my lady's riding
I'm 'bout to cum, I'm 'bout to cum at the same time
Satisfied? I'm satisfied, that's how I slang mine
A generation came up under my style
From penetration of the nation when I was just a child
Now, who's really in the critics talk 'bout me?
Andre 3000 and three mo' niggas that's really fie
Let me break it down, I get fly at that mouth
I stay fresh to the hosiery we 'posed to be
Them niggas from the South
So one to the two, the three, the fo'
Satisfied? I'm satisfied, so I'ma get 'cha some mo'
(And I love you)
You the reason why I ride good
You the reason why I shop good
Drink good, smoke good
(And I love you)
You the reason why these hoes choose
You the reason why a nigga sprayed
Candy on my old school

'Cause you took me
From a young broke nigga to a Rich Boy
And I love you
And I love you
And I love you
And I love you

The lyrics of "And I Love You" by Rich Boy feat. Big Boi & Pastor Troy tell the story of the artist's rise from poverty to wealth and the role their significant other played in their success. The song opens with a reminiscence of how the two met when the artist was only sixteen years old. Despite their humble beginnings, they vowed to pursue success together and seized every opportunity to do so. The lyrics also touch on the artist's relationship with their significant other, who they credit for their successes in life.
The second verse of the song provides some color to their relationship. The artist recalls how they and their significant other would play hide and seek in the car. The significant other would sometimes suspect the artist of cheating with a girl named Jane. However, they reassure their significant other that they were everything to them. The third verse of the song features an appearance from Pastor Troy, who uses the lyrics to share his own perspective of love and success. He also raps about his extravagant lifestyle before dedicating the lyrics to his love interest.

Nigga, take the safety and shit but I'm great
I have been successful but have faced many challenges, including safety issues
Maybe it's fate, destiny, you tell me
Perhaps it was meant to be, you decide
Damn near ten and that shit been free
It's been almost ten years, and I haven't charged for my services
But I'm PT so I gots to cruise, nigga
But I'm Pastor Troy, so I need to slow down and relax
Really ain't shit to prove to y'all niggas
I do not need to prove myself to anyone
All the cars, all the clothes
I have many cars and clothes
Wit all the stars and all the hoes
I am surrounded by famous people and beautiful women
First class flights, a nigga live in the lights
I take first-class flights and live a life of luxury
But see you in the dark, this stuff is kinda hard
But when I am alone with my thoughts, things can be difficult
See where I park, valet costs a note
The cost of parking is very expensive where I go
Drop another fifty just to check my coat
I even spend fifty dollars just to check my coat at events
Probably leave wit yo' chick, know how I do
I might even leave with your woman, you know how I am
It's Pastor Disaster, baby, I love you
It's Pastor Troy, causing trouble, but I still love you
Took me from a gun totin' nigga to a Big Boi
You helped me go from carrying guns to becoming a successful Big Boi
Too legit to slip, now I got papers on my shit, boi
I am very successful and have official documents to prove it
And not just a weapon, I'm talkin' 'bout titles and deeds
It's not just about owning guns, but also owning properties and other assets
You payin' rent you can't afford and can't break out of your lease
You are struggling to pay rent and cannot get out of your lease
I'm out of your league, I might as well be Ivy
I am on a different level than you, like an Ivy League graduate
All over ya ass like injections in a stripper's hiney
I am all over you, like the injections that go into a stripper's buttocks
Rhyming is a skill that requires timing
Rapping is a talent that takes good timing
Like dual ejaculation while my lady's riding
Like climaxing at the same time as my partner
I'm 'bout to cum, I'm 'bout to cum at the same time
I am about to climax at the same time as my partner
Satisfied? I'm satisfied, that's how I slang mine
Are you satisfied? I am satisfied with how I do things
A generation came up under my style
A generation was raised on my style of music
From penetration of the nation when I was just a child
I made my mark on the nation at a young age
Now, who's really in the critics talk 'bout me?
Who are the critics that really talk about me?
Andre 3000 and three mo' niggas that's really fie
Andre 3000 and three other respected rappers
Let me break it down, I get fly at that mouth
Let me explain: I speak my mind confidently
I stay fresh to the hosiery we 'posed to be
I stay fresh in my clothing, like we are supposed to be
Them niggas from the South
We are southern rappers
So one to the two, the three, the fo'
So let's count: one, two, three, four
Satisfied? I'm satisfied, so I'ma get 'cha some mo'
Are you satisfied? I am satisfied, so let me give you more
And I love you
I love you
