Maybach Music IV
Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get a blow job, have a seizure on a Lear
Or get a new car, I could lease it for a year
Or bring it back tomorrow, that's a lease that disappear
Count new money, peeling out a venue
New Maybach after it was discontinued
Never question mine, my mind is so inventive
Quadrupled my net worth and threw in a few incentives
All money game, we got ones in the floor
See me on the wood, nigga, pause at the game
Two mil, the jewels, no flaws, ask them lames
Bow to the boss in the presence of a don
Started on the corner nigga, didn't have a coin
Playing my position for a club that I can join
Never in the draft, but that boy know he going
Throw me a bone, get me a brick
That's on the Quran I'mma go and get the chips
Go and get a rental, I got a cute bitch
She's showing some potential, so we taking trips
Nigga, assets last while memories fade
I'ma patch that ass I don't get paid
I'm a Mike Tyson type of, typewriter sniper
Double M life 'til a nigga pay the piper
I love when the beat dip
Same way I love to see a key flip
Go and pay your mama house off
Get sucked off, shorty wipe your mouth off
I'm alive, you could never write the South off
South paw, box a nigga off like a outlaw
Quick thinker, big better shut your mouth, wha?
Black chips, gold bottles ship it out raw
Pulling up slow, look at that boy
Young B.I.G., Lil Kim on tour
Lil Cease with me, all the cheese with me
All the g's with me, Maybach Eazy-E
The good times don't last long
Just rewind the last song
We all shared some great times
As I read some great rhymes
What we does, is what dreams are made of
Come and get your love, all of this love
500 for the car that I got on the strip
That's another 100, what I got on my wrist
800 for the jar that I'm about to twist
It's a female strand, you know life's a bitch
As I get high, move my curtains to the side
Age like fine wine, ambitions they never die
Niggas get abused like boys at Penn State
Greatest that ever did it, decided my own fate
Dreams, everything that we are
The life that we're living, baby it's ours
Dreams, money, homes, and cars
Baby that's a given, I'm talking about every fantasy
Be good real with me, still don't mean something, ooohhh, oh
Baby come with me and live the dream
It's a whole nother different element
It's Maybach roman numeral four
You couldn't fathom this, you couldn't imagine this
You can't produce this, you won't reproduce this
I'll be dreaming of you
I'll be dreaming of you
You'll be making it come true
I'll be dreaming of you
I'll be dreaming of you
I'll be dreaming of you
You'll be making it come true
I'll be dreaming of you

Ricky Ross, the boss, Maybach IV
In "Maybach Music IV" by Rick Ross, the rapper talks about his luxurious lifestyle and his love for the Maybach car brand. He starts by mentioning how refreshing it is to have a luxurious lifestyle, going as far as comparing the thrill of driving a new car to getting a blow job. He also talks about getting a new car on lease and quadrupling his net worth. The allure of the Maybach IV is something he adores, with money being a constant staple in his life as seen with ones on the floor.
The song then becomes quite a list of things Rick Ross has done with his money, including paying off his mother's house and buying jewelry worth two million dollars while also taking his new girl on trips. He then raps about how his assets will last, while memories will fade, and how he'll take anyone out who tries to discredit his life's work as he finishes off with the hook, "Dreams, everything that we are. The life that we're living, baby, it's ours."

Use money to benefit family and loved ones
Get sucked off, shorty wipe your mouth off
Have a sexual encounter and clean up afterward
I'm alive, you could never write the South off
The South is thriving and nothing will change that

Be a fiercely competitive and strong fighter
Quick thinker, big better shut your mouth, wha?

What we does, is what dreams are made of
Our actions and lifestyle are what people desire
Come and get your love, all of this love
Experience the fulfilling and gratifying nature of love
500 for the car that I got on the strip
Make a purchase of an expensive car for show
That's another 100, what I got on my wrist
Spend more money on luxury items like jewelry
800 for the jar that I'm about to twist
Buy expensive drugs to indulge in
It's a female strand, you know life's a bitch
Understand the unpredictable and harsh nature of life
As I get high, move my curtains to the side
Indulge in drugs and feel the need to be secluded
Age like fine wine, ambitions they never die
Mature like wine and continue to have ambitions regardless of age
Niggas get abused like boys at Penn State
People can be taken advantage of just like in the Penn State scandal
Greatest that ever did it, decided my own fate
Believe that one is the best and is in control of their own destiny
Dreams, everything that we are
Our dreams and aspirations define us
The life that we're living, baby it's ours
Our lifestyle and choices are solely ours
Dreams, money, homes, and cars
Our desires consist of wealth and material possessions
Baby that's a given, I'm talking about every fantasy
Having it all is natural and every fantasy can come true
Be good real with me, still don't mean something, ooohhh, oh
Be genuine with me, but it doesn't guarantee anything meaningful
Baby come with me and live the dream
Join me on this extravagant lifestyle and make our dreams come true
It's a whole nother different element
This lifestyle is on another level
It's Maybach roman numeral four
The exclusive Maybach IV is a significant part of this lifestyle
You couldn't fathom this, you couldn't imagine this
This lifestyle is beyond most people's imagination and comprehension
You can't produce this, you won't reproduce this
This lifestyle is unique and cannot be replicated easily
I'll be dreaming of you
Think of and imagine a future with someone special
You'll be making it come true
That special someone will help make these dreams a reality
Yessir
