Living Better Now
Rick Ross Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I make you feel better than you ever been
I guarantee that you gon' tell the other man he need to get lost
Yeah
And girl you know you dealing with a veteran have you ever been broke off

[Chorus]
You ain't gotta pack your bags
Tell your boss you gon' miss work
Whatever you want just ask
Baby this what you deserve
Yeah

I'm living better now
Livin' better now
I'm living better now
Better, better now
I'm living better now
Livin' better now
Livin' livin' better now
Livin' better now
I'm living better now
Livin' better now
I'm living better now
Better, better now
Drop top benz I'm the man girlfriend

Because girl you're worth it
I know you deserve it
Because girl you're worth it

You rollin' with the man
Turn the lights off

You ain't gotta trip about no money
Cause whatever you want, I'mma get it
I ain't worry about the cost, yeah
I ain't fucking, I ain't phoney, I ain't frontin'
I am stuntin' everything I say is real
You dealin' with the boss, yeah

[Chorus]

Look in my pockets I see a lot of dead people
Wrist game mean, mother pearl so evil
Christian Louboutin, sucker for a sneaker
Pull up in Pakistan like I'm Evel Knievel
Elroy Jetson I stay spaced out
Never lay my Jesus piece face down
It's not a Rollie, I'm sorry its for Karan
She not a singer, but dammit I made her humm
Name Ricky but really I've been a willie
See you looking at it but this watch a quarter milly
I got houses, hobby homes in Abu Dhabi
Never go wrong GPS my Ferrari





[Chorus]
