Rich Boy Lyrics

Rich boy and Polow Da Don

It's the way that we go
The way they make music is what they believe in and what they want to share with the world.

I wanna see you? Hey ya
The artist is encouraging the ladies to be confident and show their true selves.

This is for the ladies, all the sexy ladies
The song is dedicated to all the confident and beautiful women out there.

Get up stand up for your life
The artist is encouraging women to take control of their lives and not let anyone bring them down.

I said stand up for your life young girl
The artist specifically addresses the younger generation of women and encourages them to be strong and independent.

Even darkness comes to light
No matter how dark and difficult life may get, eventually the positive and hopeful side of things will shine through.

I said young girl
The artist is addressing the younger generation of women again.

He said even darkness comes to light
The producer Polow Da Don stresses the message that everything will eventually be okay and that we should have hope.

Young girl
The artist repeats this phrase numerous times to emphasize that this song is specifically geared towards young women.

It was a girl named Shanda, Drove a Honda
The artist begins to tell the story of a girl named Shanda, who is financially stable but doesn't always make the best choices in life.

Stayed talking back and get smart with her mama
Shanda was a very headstrong and stubborn girl, which caused her to argue with her mother frequently.

The real grown type
Shanda thinks of herself as more mature than her peers and behaves accordingly.

She was always right
Shanda had a hard time admitting when she was wrong and would often stick to her initial beliefs despite evidence to the contrary.

Couldn't get along with pops cause they stayed in a fight
Shanda didn't have the best relationship with her father and frequently argued with him.

If it ain't skipping school going out with grown men
Shanda frequently skipped school and hung out with older men, which was not a good decision.

Better your man named Sam with a white Benz
Shanda's new boyfriend, Sam, was quite wealthy and drove a luxury car.

He used to take her out and buy Shanda the world
Sam would frequently buy expensive gifts and take Shanda out to high-end restaurants and clubs.

And even told Shanda, You my only girl
Sam made Shanda feel special and wanted, which was a new feeling for her.

One night it was late, they kissing and hugging
Shanda and Sam were being intimate and affectionate with each other late at night.

Next thing you know they kissing and loving
Their intimacy escalated quickly and they ended up having sex.

Two days go by and Sam ain't showed up
After their night of intimacy, Sam disappeared and stopped contacting Shanda.

Now Shanda on the bathroom floor sick throwing up
Shanda unfortunately contracted an STD from her encounter with Sam and was feeling the harsh physical effects of it.

Mamma found out and had Sam arrested
When Shanda's mother found out what had happened to her daughter, she had Sam arrested for taking advantage of her.

Now Shanda at the doctor?S cause she wanna get tested
Shanda went to the doctor to get tested and treated for the STD that Sam gave her.

When the results came back it was positive
Unfortunately, Shanda did test positive for an STD from her encounter with Sam.

That's the thing about life; you learn and you live
Although the situation was difficult and painful, Shanda learned a valuable lesson and grew from it, which is a part of life.

Get a man who?
The artist is questioning women's desires to have a man with money and status, and potentially steering them towards valuing a man with different qualities.

Even though sometimes you may be lost girl
The artist acknowledges that life can be confusing and difficult at times, but encourages women to persevere and find their way.

Don't worry about, this is your world, your world
The artist reminds women that they are capable of making their own choices and living their life on their own terms.

It was a girl named Courtney, She was fine as hell
The artist introduces another character in the story, Courtney, who is a beautiful woman.

She was looking for a man with a lotta' mail
Courtney was specifically seeking out a man with a lot of money and financial stability.

She had big dreams about the real good life
Courtney had extravagant goals for her life and was focused on achieving them.

And everything she wanted had a real high price
Courtney's goals were expensive and required a lot of money to achieve.

Like Dolce Gabbana, Gucci and PRADA
Courtney had expensive taste and aspired to own designer clothing and accessories.

So if you ain't spend big Courtney ain't holler
Courtney would only show interest in men who were able to keep up with her expensive lifestyle and buy her expensive gifts.

She all about the dollar, but let's go way back
Courtney was a materialistic person who prioritized money over other aspects of her life, but the artist now transitions to a flashback in her story.

When Courtney was going with this hard working cat
Before Courtney became interested in men with money, she was dating a man who worked hard for everything he had.

A drug dealer came along and ?
The sentence is incomplete and doesn't explain the rest of what happened in the situation with the drug dealer.

Next thing you know she was taking it right
Courtney became involved with the drug dealer and was using drugs as a result.

We part of the reason why she at where she at
The artist may be insinuating that negative influences from the community contributed to Courtney's situation.

Now her ex-man got a million dollar car jack
Courtney's ex-partner is successful in his own way and is financially stable, but may have gotten involved in illegal activity.

His pockets are fed but Courtney is still broke
Despite her ex-partner's wealth, Courtney is still struggling financially and can't seem to catch a break.

Cause her old man got caught with a lil' dope
Courtney's ex-partner was caught with drugs and as a result, Courtney may have been placed in a difficult financial situation or even jail time.

She stuck with two kids and no child support
Courtney is raising two children without any financial support from their father, which is clearly putting a strain on her life.

I did it for girls taking life for a joke
The artist concludes the song by saying he made this song for women who may not be taking their life choices seriously, and to encourage them to make positive changes for themselves.
