Rick Ross Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yes, uh, this the biggest
Yes, it's such a beautiful day
Uh, in such a beautiful way

All the lessons
All the blessings
All the beauty that you are
Satisfaction is my reaction

Every time I'm near your heart
Can you feel it?
Know you see it
So many people in pain
Thank Jah for the love we share (Lordy, Lord)

Even though
It's rough out there
No one knows, seems no one cares
You give me hope
When none is found
Life is short, time's running out

Let's make this a good life
Yeah, even through the bad times, yeah
Nothing can kill this vibe, no
As long as I feel the way you make me feel (Rozay, yeah)

Window shopping, not for nonsense
I love a women who's sexy and confident
I wanna read your mind, yes, I really need your time
Silk fleeces, Jesus pieces, here's my memoir, I need your thesis
After I've read chapter five in the S6, still side by side
Yes, I told her that her future bright
Yes, depending how you move tonight
Yes, come and kick it with a big shot
Yes, you really live it or you kick rocks
Yes, swimming pools heated
Yes, court side seated
Yes, see me when you see me
Fat pockets but I'm seated with the vegans, yes

Let's make this a good life
Even through the bad times, yeah
Nothing can kill this vibe, no
As long as I feel the way you make me feel, ay

You give me hope (you do)
When none is found
Life is short (talk to me), time's running out

Let's make this a good life
Yeah, even through the bad times (yeah)
Nothing can kill this vibe (baby)
As long as I feel the way you make me feel, ay

Oh Lordy Lord, oh
So free, so free, so free
