Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
I got a feeling nigga really that my money be the root
Look up at the stars she like honey where the roof?
Pull up hear the dogs canaries they goin roof
Even once had a job pouring tar up on a roof
That boy had it hard no facade its the truth
So now when I Menage and get massaged its the proof
Proofs in the pudding and that baking sodas taking
Paper that I'm making got her taking photos naked
Listening to niggas like whistling at Wendy Williams
I flip my middle finger I'm chilling on 20 million
The rumors turn me on I'm masturbating at the top
These hoes so excited they catching every drop
I'm dodging the debacles like pot holes in Jamaica
We cut down the weed bury the paper on them acres
Martin had a dream bob got high I still do both but somehow I got by
Creflo pray Mike Vick payed bobby brown stray Whitney lost weight
Kimbo Slice on the pad when I write
That Mayweather money looking funny in the light
But who really cares we just throw it in the air
Celebrating wealth pouring moet in her hair
Excuse me her weave the blue is a weave
Trunk full of white car smell like blue cheese
That boy get salad beef bout movements
BM dubs on them big things looking foolish
Shawty sitting low big things popping
Tip on the glock from a crip up in Compton shooting at the cops
Fuck one time I gave her to the block
I fucked 1 time we boys in the hood and nigga you lil trey
Suppress ya appetite we taking ya lil' tray
Love my handgun but my chopper still the shit
Banned in 1994 but I'm to legit to quit
1996 kilos was the shit but that be better then roofing that shit be bad for ya skin
Niggas was ruthless and lord knows that I've sinned
But I thought about my future in the loops I could pin
Walked out on a gig and I turned to the streets
Kept my name low key I ain't heard from in weeks
I came up wit a strategy to come up mathematically
I did it for the city but now everybody mad at me
Motherfuck em all they sweat from my balls
If I drop another album I did that for my dogs
10 Maybach's everybody riding big
I just sit back like look what I did
Then I bow my head and beg for forgiveness
Once I said my prayer everybody back to business
Smoking on a blunt in my own restaurant people looking from a distance think I'm big daddy kunk
Reincarnated spirit of a g beef ill make u dinner take a seat so we could eat
A Farrakhan aura paws on the pork you eat from the bowl while ya dog need a fork
Niggas ain't loyal snakes slithered in they coil im laughing at you
Cause kill you niggas when I'm bored
We stepping on ya crew until you motherfuckers crush
And making sweet love to every women that you lust
I love to pay her bills can't wait to pay her rent Curtis Jackson baby mama
I ain't asking for a cent
Burn the house down gotta buy another
Don't forget the gas can jealous stupid motherfucker
To another chapter paper that I captured
Caught up in the rapture off of gunshots and laughter
Homicide is humor and nigga you looking funny
Women love to stare cause they know they see the money
I open up my mind by opening bank accounts deposit a 100 stacks
Break up wont take it out baby that's a gift maybe you could live
I knew it wouldn't work but I just like to give used to run the street
Young nigga bare feet now I'm in the suites and I'm eating crab meats
Ice so right other rappers envy they calling all my jewelers up asking what he spending
Thinking bout BOSS not thinking bout them here's a letter to my enemies one I won't send amen
Look up at the stars she like honey where the roof?
Pull up hear the dogs canaries they goin roof
Even once had a job pouring tar up on a roof
That boy had it hard no facade its the truth
So now when I Menage and get massaged its the proof
Proofs in the pudding and that baking sodas taking
Paper that I'm making got her taking photos naked

The song "Mafia Music" by Rick Ross is a reflection of his success and wealth. The first few lines describe his belief that money is the root to everything, and his mention of the starry sky depicts the luxuries he enjoys in his mansion. The line "Even once had a job pouring tar up on a roof" shows that Ross had a humble beginning and worked hard to get to where he is today. He also talks about how his past struggles contrast with his current lifestyle, which allows him to indulge in lavishness and take pictures with undressed women. Ross also makes references to celebrities like Bob Marley, Mike Vick, Whitney Houston, Kimbo Slice, and Wendy Williams, and their respective issues with drugs, weight loss, and rumors.
The second verse is mostly braggadocious lyrics about his wealth and power. Ross describes himself as a 'Farrakhan aura' and compares his enemies to snakes that he kills when he's bored. He also talks about paying bills and burning a house down to buy a better one, boasting about his bank accounts and how he gives gifts to people. Finally, in the last line, Ross says he is thinking about himself only and not his naysayers.

And I'm bambam from Greenville SC
Using mom's tablet until I get a phone
Nevertheless nothing wrong with knowing the ends and out so you're right he found a way to overcome oppression The Reasons why organizations and affiliates become as they are is not to be an oppressor
Glad I wasn't the only one seeing from a GODLY-SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE
THAT WAS JUST HIS WAY IN AND MISUNDERSTANDINGS HAPPEN. LIKE WHY DO WE ALWAYS HAVE TO EXPECT THE OPPOSITION OF THE WICKED WHEN ON A RIGHTEOUS PATH LIKE BECAUSE IT'S WICKED GOD WOULD FIGHT FOR YOU AND WITH YOU WHICH WOULD BE WRATH WHILE HE/SHE DISPLAYING WICKED WHICH IS TO NO AVAIL...weird how it makes your spirit fight that much harder to keep the flesh intact Eph.6 like you gotta join the flesh to lesson-out. That's not cool. Psalm 91
Psalm 119:65-72
More and most importantly
ROMANS 13:8
Key words are love fulfillment law
GOD IS LOVE LOVE IS GOD SO THAT'S HOW WE'RE TO TREAT ONE ANOTHER,IS WITH THAT LOVE OF GOD. THE LAW IS WHAT MOSES BROUGHT DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP FROM GOD PRETTY MUCH WHAT THE WHOLE WORLD LAW IN SOME SHAPE FORM OR MATTER IS BASED ON. FULFILLMENT IS TO LIVE IN LOVE BECAUSE IF YOU LIVE IN LOVE AND BELIEVE IN LOVE THEN YOU BELIEVE IN GOD BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE, WHICH MAKES YOU blameless before GOD AND MANKIND WHICH IS THE FULFILLMENT OF THE LAW IS TO LIVE IN LOVE AND LIVING OUT THIS SCRIPTURE ROMANS 13:8owe no debt except to love one another
Whoever loves another hasth fulfilled the law. Aman Amun Amen
