Dequantes Lamar first considered a career in professional baseball, but in 2008, the Atlanta native issued the single "Stay Down" featuring the Stack Money Boyz. Things came to a halt when he landed in jail for a year on burglary charges, but upon his release in 2011, Quan began to make up for lost time. Hooking up with the Atlanta crew Loyalty Ova Royalties and becoming quick friends with member CEO Teezy came next, but Teezy's untimely death later in the year put a stop to Quan's planned mixtape debut. He would re-emerge a year later on the Think It's a Game label and release the mixtapes I Go in on Every Song plus Still Goin In. The year 2013 began with a tour opening for Trinidad James, along with a guest appearance on Gucci Mane's Trap House 3 album. In the summer, Quan issued the infectious club track "Type of Way," which cracked the Billboard Hot 100 chart. He also became a member of Rich Gang, and co-headlined the 2014 mixtape Tha Tour, Part 1 with Birdman and Young Thug. The tape received widespread acclaim, and the non-album single "Lifestyle" reached number 16 on the Hot 100. Quan released the track "Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)" in 2015, and it became his biggest solo hit, reaching number 26.
Rich Homie Quan continued releasing mixtapes, and in 2016 he landed a record deal with Motown. March 2017 saw the release of the single "Replay," which appeared on the Back to the Basics mixtape. Led by the singles "Change" and "34," his debut album, Rich as in Spirit, arrived in March 2018, peaking at number 32 on the Billboard 200. He then put out the EP The Gif, and Coma followed in 2019. Quan resumed releasing solo material in 2021, with the singles "Daily Bread" and "To Be Worried." His EP Family & Mula appeared in 2022. ~ David Jeffries & Paul Simpson, Rovi
Attempted Murder
Rich Homie Quan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't want these problems
Been stackin' in the attic don't make me bring the money down
Got nuts on the 223, so you know this muthafucker shoot a hunnit rounds
Come around my hood thinkin' shit sweet, guns loud like the thunder sound
Funny now allot of niggas hatin, must mean that these niggas got plenty time
Momma pround cause I moved out that hood and I lived to see 25
Obama style, presidential kush gotta smoke everyday just to get me high
Walk it out like DJ Unk, go DJ, talkin' bout DJ Fresh
Macaulay Culkin, home alone with yo bm and she gettin' naked
Know she the best, pussy finger lickin' HA we the best
Preacher sly deacons confess
Lead em' got me in the traffic
Pull up my pants, roll up my sleeves
Cut off my hair grow it back like Eve
Surveillance at the house boy I spent like three
I grind in the day, ion't know what night bring
White tee shirt ooh I think they like me
You might get hurt if you ever try me
Pull up on em out skirt, two trucks, nine deep
Yo spot hoot it up Ia in't talkin' IV
My swagg is contagious
I prayed to God for courage (what did he do)
He made courageous
I swear, I still ain't told half of my story
Demons be ragin' off through my brain, they say I'm insane but I know I'm straight
I just take percocets to relive pain, take it away I know I'm straight
I gotta eyewatch and I know I'm late, ain't ate in days so I gobbled the cake
She wanted love so I slaughtered the bait
Paid off my lawyer I caught a lil case
My heart and my soul give you all that it take
Stack my first ten mill it's all in the making
See eye to eye cause it's all in relations
Niggas who cowards we callin' em Ms. Daisy
I got this Glock on my waist like a beeper
Got yo hoe callin' my spot like a teacher
Make these lil niggas respect me Aretha
I got a machete they say its illegal, I cut these lil niggas up into pieces
I need my money I don't do no freebies
Do it for my kids and my nephews and nieces
I already done it, you have it yeah keep it
I'ma shine til I die gotta keep me a purpose
When I'm flyin' by see lease and I purchased
I'm higher than high like I'm leaving this earth
If I'm drivin' by leave the scene and hearse
Phaphapha, fire up any nigga who lurkin'
Drop you in water better hope you surf
And you would've died if it wasn't for them nurses, that's what you call an attempted murder
Yeaaahhh, yeaahhh, yeaahh, oh yeah, oh yeah
I got away with it, I got away with it, I got away with attempted murder, murder murder murder
I got away with it I did, I got away with it I swear I did
I got away with attempted murder, murder murder murder
The song "Attempted Murder" by Rich Homie Quan is a reflection on the struggles and hardships the artist faced growing up, as well as his triumphs and achievements. The first verse is a warning that he takes his money seriously and is willing to take extreme measures to get it back from anyone who owes him. He speaks on his upbringing and how he has now reached the age of 25 while defying the odds. He highlights his success, insinuating that the people who now hate him may not have accomplished as much in their lives as he has in his.
In the second verse, Rich Homie Quan speaks of his demons that rage through his mind and how he takes prescription medication to relieve the pain. He also mentions that he prayed to God for courage and that he was given the strength to endure his trials. He expresses his determination to stack his first ten million dollars and to provide for his family.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I got away with attempted murder," which could be interpreted as Rich Homie Quan overcoming the hardships of his past and emerging victorious. It could also be a metaphor for his ability to maintain his success and not fall victim to negative influences in his environment.
