Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I ain't nothin' nice,
It's goin' down tonight,
That's what the bitches like all day long
[Chorus: x2]
I got my money right,
I ain't nothin' nice,
That's what the bitches like all day long,
I ain't here for nothin' baby, all day long,
I ain't here for nothin' only cash
[Flo Rida]
Everythin' safe, gotta walk-in safe
Treadmill rapper still runnin' in place
All these meals I can share my plate
Flo Rida full yeah I already ate
Plenty to give or take I'm bout business
Make no mistake hey this serious this real estate
Is some million it just out weigh
My position I'm cuttin' cake I'm the chef in the kitchen late
On my recipe bill gates on the essence I'm all the way
Don't worry bout a dollar don dollar with the product?
Ain't no problem if you starta you a starter you get hot up
Grand pieces I got em I get em ballin' like somethin'
Consider the show stopper I'm all in the damn profit
[Chorus]
[Brisco]
My life is straight I'm livin' good I ain't hurtin' for nothin'
I knock the riches in them word but I'm workin' with somethin'
The Escalade all pearl, you control it with buttons
They keep the tabs on they curb when I come through stuntin'
That's Brisc best to believe it seatin' on skates
I'm the don take it or leave it, throw it in ya face
Big Bs makin' it rain no need to hate
Got beef, loadin' them things, grip the whole case
I got my money right and I'm livin' up some rubba bands
Hit the club baby bet I spend a couple grand (couple grand)
I'm pitchin' chauffeur keys under hand
When I'm on the scene know that Brisc be a wanted man
[Chorus]
[Rick Ross]
Ricky Ross
I'm pitchin' my jeans I'm gettin' brain everyday
Bitches thicker than Venus I told Serina she can train
Got my money like a train its always on track
I love my money more than fame so explain the all black,
All black Maybach in the back I'm gettin' blown
People wanna build a case I'm like, "fuck it just bring it on!"
Then maybe it make me stronger
I hustle my money longer
Still hustlin' out the honda
Just tryin' to take out my momma
Gotta problem nigga holla
I'ma holla my blacka blacka
Your Impala bare harbor
I'ma shoppa non stopper
All this shit I'ma copppa
Suck dick and cant stop her
Doin' tricks with big poppa
[Chorus]

Line by Line Meaning
I got my money right,
I have enough money to live the life I want
I ain't nothin' nice,
I am not a pushover
It's goin' down tonight,
I am planning on having a good time tonight
That's what the bitches like all day long
Women like a man who has money and knows how to have fun
I ain't here for nothin' baby, all day long,
I am not here to waste time, I am here to get money
I ain't here for nothin' only cash
The only reason I am doing this is for the money
Everythin' safe, gotta walk-in safe
I keep my money in a secure place, like a walk-in safe
Treadmill rapper still runnin' in place
Other rappers might be trying to keep up, but they are not getting anywhere
All these meals I can share my plate
I have so much money, I can share it with others
Flo Rida full yeah I already ate
I have enough wealth, I do not need any more
Plenty to give or take I'm bout business
I am serious about doing business and have enough to give or take in deals

This is not a joke, I am serious about making money in real estate
Is some million it just out weigh
I have made millions and it outweighs any other accomplishments
My position I'm cuttin' cake I'm the chef in the kitchen late
I am in charge and making money, I am like a chef in the kitchen
On my recipe bill gates on the essence I'm all the way
I have the recipe to make money like Bill Gates, and I am all in
Don't worry bout a dollar don dollar with the product?
Do not worry about the cost, just focus on the product and selling it

It is not a problem if you are just starting out, keep going and you will get successful
Grand pieces I got em I get em ballin' like somethin'
I have expensive things and I know how to party
Consider the show stopper I'm all in the damn profit
I am the one who stops the show, and I am all about making a profit
My life is straight I'm livin' good I ain't hurtin' for nothin'
I am living a good life and do not need anything else
I knock the riches in them word but I'm workin' with somethin'
I might not talk about my wealth all the time, but I am still making money
The Escalade all pearl, you control it with buttons
My car is expensive and high-tech
They keep the tabs on they curb when I come through stuntin'
People are paying attention to me when I show off my wealth
That's Brisc best to believe it seatin' on skates
People know I have a lot of money and I am always ready to spend it
Big Bs makin' it rain no need to hate
I have a lot of money and I am spending it like crazy, do not be jealous
Got beef, loadin' them things, grip the whole case
If someone comes after me, I am ready to protect myself with force
I'm pitchin' chauffeur keys under hand
I am selling drugs discreetly
When I'm on the scene know that Brisc be a wanted man
People want to be around me because of my money and status
Bitches thicker than Venus I told Serina she can train
Women are attracted to me, and I even told Serena Williams she can date me
Got my money like a train its always on track
My money is always coming in and never stopping
I love my money more than fame so explain the all black,
I care more about money than being famous, hence why I dress in all black (to avoid attention)
All black Maybach in the back I'm gettin' blown
I am driving an expensive car and having a good time
People wanna build a case I'm like, "fuck it just bring it on!"
People might try to bring me down for my wealth, but I am not afraid of anything
Then maybe it make me stronger
Challenges and obstacles might make me stronger
I hustle my money longer
I work hard to keep making money and keep it coming in
Still hustlin' out the honda
I am still making money, even if I am driving a more affordable car
Just tryin' to take out my momma
I am working hard to provide for my family
Gotta problem nigga holla
If someone has a problem, they can talk to me about it
I'ma holla my blacka blacka
I am not afraid to speak up
Your Impala bare harbor
Your car is not as nice as mine
I'ma shoppa non stopper
I am constantly shopping and spending money
All this shit I'ma copppa
I am buying everything I want, no matter the price
Suck dick and cant stop her
Women are attracted to me and I cannot resist their attention
Doin' tricks with big poppa
I am doing whatever it takes to get ahead and make money
