Nigga need that quinine
I'm making more with the baking soda, don't hate on me
You know where I'm at though
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Got the dog food, the soft nigga and the hard
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Got the boy, got the girl and I got the heart
Tell them pussy crackers they can bring the dogs
I got Priscilla, I got Priscilla
I got vanilla, boy, I got vanilla
I been that nigga, I been that nigga
I bend that corner, I'm stacking scrilla
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Got the dog food, the soft nigga and the hard
You can tell them crackers they can go and get the dogs
My face familiar, my face familiar
Half a milli for the whip, this bitch'll hurt your feelings
I could fly Priscilla, send her in the mail
She got Meek Milly cellphone in the county jail
I'm at the car wash off on Elvis Presley BLVD
That nina hit your van, your ass gon' holla "good God"
You feel that itch, you feel that itch
That heroin moving fast, boy, I'm getting rich
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Got the dog food, the soft nigga and the hard
You can tell them crackers they can go and get the dogs
Run up in the trap, I push the panic button
Lil' 'Toine snorting coke, he ain't scared of nothing
Bumping Playa Fly until a player die
Charged 'em for the nine gram, but I gave em five
My baking soda fine, I'm baking over dimes
I got them brown bags, I bet they know it's mine
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Can I park an airplane in a nigga yard?
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Got the boy, got the girl and I got the heart
Tell them pussy crackers they can bring the dogs
Crushing them sleepin' pills up, I'm steppin' on the dawg
Breakin' down a half a thing, mane, get these puppies off
Hard work pays off, get more if you selling soft
Catch you slipping out here though, my dog, we knock your melon off
They cannot stunt, shoot them rifles long like African
Got them young boys shooting shit up like Africans
Me gold in me mouth, 'round my neck like leprechaun
Lamborghini or Ferrari, watch these bitches come
Stacking funds off the drugs, me go quick to rob the plug
Nigga mouth was full of slugs, left these bodies full of slugs
Met me on the south side of the city with a whole thing
Iced 'em with the heater, took his shit, it's a cold game
His niggas know I done it, now it's rumors they want my head
Got my Russian bitch sleeping with me right in the bed
My niggas killing about this shit, for realling about this shit
Fuck around and get a hundred years, dawg, about this shit
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Got the dog food, the soft nigga and the hard
You can tell them crackers they can go and get the dogs
I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Riding down Elvis Presley BLVD
Got the boy, got the girl and I got the heart
Tell them pussy crackers they can bring the dogs
The song "Elvis Presley Blvd." by Rick Ross is about his life as a drug dealer in Memphis. The first line of the song "Hood Billionaire, nigga need that quinine" refers to Ross's status as a wealthy drug dealer, who needs the anti-malaria medication quinine to prevent the condition he contracted while traveling to Nigeria. The next line "I'm making more with the baking soda, don't hate on me" is about his success in dealing drugs and the resentment some people may feel towards him.
The chorus lyrics "I'm riding down Elvis Presley BLVD" implies that Ross is cruising around Memphis, which is the location of Elvis Presley Blvd. He raps about having "the dog food, the soft nigga and the hard" which means he has drugs and customers who use both powder and crack cocaine. The line "got the boy, got the girl and I got the heart" shows that Ross is a drug kingpin who controls his drug empire.
In the second verse, Ross brags about his ability to move drugs and people with ease. He mentions Priscilla and vanilla, which are probably code words for drugs. He talks about his success in the drug business with lines like "I bend that corner, I'm stacking scrilla" and "that heroin moving fast, boy, I'm getting rich." The song continues with various drug and gang-related themes.

@jacobleae5332
I love this song (👍) but where's the Explicit Version 😿😧😷
I am excited for
"Hood Billionaire" but hopefully it's good like Mastermind. Mastermind was an 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 album with features, trap rugged (great) bass, flow, and how Rick Ross raps. We all know he talks about money, himself, cars, etc. but that's just him; rappers have different subjects that they want to talk about.
Anyway, "Hood Billionaire" coming November 24, 2014. For all MMG fans like Rick Ross, let's all hope that this will be good like the Legendary 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 album Mastermind. I am pumped with features and how Rick Ross does compare to Deeper than Rap, God Forgives, I Don't and Mastermind.
If you guys like hip hop with deep variety subject, please check out Snoop Dogg (Lion), TDE Group, PAC, Biggie, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, The Game, Public Enemy, DMX, Eve, Logic, Juvenile's 400 degrees (album), etc..
MMG is getting better than in the past. MMG is a good group but not that great like G-Unit. But we got Wale, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, etc.. Where's Meek Mill anyways?? He hasn't been making music for a while #FreeMeekMill
Can't wait for Hood Billionaire 🔥🔥🔥🎵🎵🎵👍👍🔥🔥🔥🔊🔊🔊🔊
