Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You lying here next to me
Oh
I'm living underneath the telescope
Ciroc in my margarita in Mexico
Got a model with me that I seen on World Star
Introduced her to the world of La Pearla
Talking the type of cheese she used to think was make believe
I used to fuck 'em then I made 'em leave
Leaving things, I had a bucket full of Maybeline
I had a bucket of my favorite green
Opened up the budget now it's only major things
Mulsanne, run ya half a ticket
Bugatti Boys, cop won't even write the ticket
I got a few Crips that wanna come and kick it
Catch blue balls if one of ya nigga's bitches
I know the feeling gotta re-align your wills to life
Or better yet, maybe should write your will tonight
Deeper and deeper
In love with you I'm falling
Sweeter and sweeter
Your tender words of love keep calling (Money grew like grass)
Eager and eager (Money grew like grass)
To feel your sweet lips on my face (Money grew like grass)
Please her and please her
Any time or any place
Got on my Vacheron, I'm paid in full
Lining up all my niggas 'bout to pull some major moves
Consolidate the game and suffocate the others
Keep it real with your niggas and multiply the numbers
Go to trial and never take the stand
Every bitch was born to break a man
I take you deeper than them other dudes
I see my niggas scramble chickens by the twos
He talking like a hoe and valeting the Benz
She acting like a bitch while I'm takin' her friend
Ran outta 1's now I'm throwing what I got
I took her home, time to show her what I got
I took her tongue and took it to another notch
I'm getting funds time to get another watch
I'm having fun fucking let my brother watch
I got thirty cars and headed to another lot
(M-M-M-M-M-Maybach Music)
Money grew like grass
Money grew like grass
Money grew like grass
Deeper and deeper
In love with you I'm falling
Sweeter and sweeter
Your tender words of love keep calling (Money grew like grass)
Eager and eager (Money grew like grass)
To feel your sweet lips on my face (Money grew like grass)
Please her and please her
Any time or any place
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you just a little more, baby
I'm gonna need you, need you, need you every day
I'm gonna want you, want you, want you
The first few lines of Rick Ross's Even Deeper describe his current state of satisfaction with his booming business and his current partner. He's living underneath the microscope of fame and has grown comfortable with the lavish lifestyle that comes with it, evidenced by his drinking of Ciroc in his margarita all the way from Mexico. He has a beautiful woman with him that he found on World Star Hip Hop, and is introducing her to the finer things in life like La Pearla. Their sex life has become more and more intense as Ross is taking her through different sexual experiences, while introducing her to the types of life he's living. The lyrics highlight the way Ross has changed his sexual view towards women; he no longer just sleeps with them and kicks them out, and now takes them through intense experiences while introducing them to his flashy lifestyle. The second verse picks up with Ross feeling more confident than ever--he's now on top of the rap game and boasting his success with a well-made watch. He's going to do whatever it takes to make even more money, even if it means pushing out his competitors. Ross stresses the importance of loyalty to those closest to him and the sharing of profits as he consolidates his assets. The chorus repeats throughout, a message to his partner that he hopes to continue satisfying her deepest desires.
Overall, the lyrics portray Ross as a man completely in control of his business and personal life. He's living a life most people only dream of, but with it comes a new perspective on love and relationships. While he still enjoys sexual encounters, he's looking for a deeper connection with his partner and experiences that go beyond the act of sex. The song highlights the importance of sharing in his successes and maintaining loyalty among friends and acquaintances.

I'm living underneath the telescope
I'm constantly under scrutiny and being watched
Ciroc in my margarita in Mexico
I'm living it up and enjoying my luxurious lifestyle
Got a model with me that I seen on World Star
I picked up a beautiful woman that I saw on the internet
Introduced her to the world of La Pearla

I'm into some kinky stuff but I'm satisfying her completely
Talking the type of cheese she used to think was make believe
I'm introducing her to new and expensive things that she never thought existed
I used to fuck 'em then I made 'em leave
I used to sleep with women and then kick them out of my life
Leaving things, I had a bucket full of Maybeline
I left behind the small and insignificant things, including a bucket of ordinary products
I had a bucket of my favorite green
I had a bucket of my favorite thing, which is likely weed
Opened up the budget now it's only major things
I have money to spend on only the most expensive items now
Mulsanne, run ya half a ticket
I'm driving a fancy Bentley that costs a fortune
Bugatti Boys, cop won't even write the ticket
My friend and I are driving Bugattis and we won't even get pulled over by the police
I got a few Crips that wanna come and kick it
I have some gang members who want to hang out with me
Catch blue balls if one of ya nigga's bitches
If one of your women doesn't give me what I want, then you'll be left with nothing
I know the feeling gotta re-align your wills to life
I understand that it's important to reassess and refocus on what's important in life
Or better yet, maybe should write your will tonight

Keep it real with your niggas and multiply the numbers
Stay honest with your friends and work together to make even more money
Go to trial and never take the stand
If you're ever in legal trouble, don't incriminate yourself by speaking on the stand
Every bitch was born to break a man
I believe that all women are capable of hurting a man emotionally or financially
I take you deeper than them other dudes
I'm more experienced and can satisfy you in ways other men can't
I see my niggas scramble chickens by the twos
My friends and I are hustling and making money quickly
He talking like a hoe and valeting the Benz
He's acting like a coward and being flashy with his car
She acting like a bitch while I'm takin' her friend
She's being difficult while I am hooking up with her friend
Ran outta 1's now I'm throwing what I got
I'm out of one dollar bills so I'm just throwing a bunch of cash
I took her home, time to show her what I got
I brought her back to my place with the intention of impressing her with my wealth and power
I took her tongue and took it to another notch
I'm taking things even further with this girl
I'm getting funds time to get another watch
Now that I'm making more money, it's time to buy another flashy watch
I'm having fun fucking let my brother watch
I'm enjoying myself and even inviting my friend to watch me have sex
I got thirty cars and headed to another lot
I have so many cars that I'm heading to a completely different parking lot
I'm gonna love you, love you, love you just a little more, baby
I want to keep loving you more and more every day
I'm gonna need you, need you, need you every day
I need you in my life and can't live without you
I'm gonna want you, want you, want you
I will always want and desire you
