Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mmg, tour starts in a few weeks
If you fucking with it, fuck with me

Watch cost me a buck, chain cost me a truck
Double M be the clique my coupe more than your bus
Think it's all façade, but nigga just double R
Bitches been going wild hit the sound cliche
Give me two bitches we could do this three ways
Four missed calls on my iPhone five
Bitch six feet tall got me fighting for my life
Telephone lines ringing, calling Angie Martinez
Think I just seen the boss, he dating to Puerto Rican
All gold jewels in this snow white mink
Kanye shoes sorry no ID, John Legend flow the magnificent me
Roll hard give me molly coffee by the key
Got the weed roll tour start a few weeks
She said fuck me, must wanna fuck me
Man we be the clique, man I'm so the shit
Boy just simmer down, man I take your bitch
Yeah we at the game and we sit front row
Every time you see me I'll be on the front row
Thick Cuban link, new Benz, gold piece
Benz outside aint' even gotta speak
New Cuban link with the all gold piece
Benz outside I ain't even gotta speak, uh

Bout to kill the shit so get the casket and the shovel
And new Olympic sevens I need rings and the medal
When I'm not from Trillville but I tell 'em get up on my level
I'm always going higher, I'm still mo' fire
Do a lot of stuntin' but it's only to inspire

Just hope that she never fall off like Kreayshawn
And even if she do forever I'm shit

The lyrics in Rick Ross Ft. Gunplay & Rockie Fresh's "Clique" are about their success and fame, as well as their loyalty to their clique (MMG). Ross boasts about his expensive chain, his stage presence, and his love life (“Give me two bitches we could do this three ways”). He also talks about the constant phone calls he gets and the attention he gets from women. Gunplay also talks about his lavish lifestyle, including the brands he wears and the drugs he uses. He mentions that he can buy his girl more Michael Kors bags and that he has so much money that it doesn't matter if he spills his expensive alcohol on them. Rockie Fresh echoes the sentiment of being on top and how he has come a long way in just a year, going from being ignored to gaining interest from women because of his affiliation with MMG. Despite their individual successes, they all make it clear that they are only loyal to their clique and not interested in others.
Overall, the lyrics are a proclamation of their success, wealth, and status. They are proud of what they have achieved and relish in the fame and attention they receive. However, they also remain loyal to their team, the MMG clique, showing that they don't let their individual successes get in the way of their bond with each other.
