Rick Ross Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brooklyn (uh-huh)
Kinda short, dark-skinned, she a fly lil' bitch
Be up in all them clubs spillin Dom P and shit
Know the boy stunt, Jonathan Kelsey clutch
Yves Saint Laurent fronts on her bags to the pumps
D's love her aura, Balenciago fedora
She'll take a kilo and stuff it up in the coochie
Quicker than Ron[?], stash it between her coochie (ha ha)
Breeze through the hood, niggaz treat her like a O.G.
First bitch in the hood, with the Bentley Coupe GT (yes)
Brooklyn is the team, Alexander McQueen
Bustin down a bird and balance it with a beam
Five five, slanted eyes, bitch walk is mean
Mahushi Ron bracelets and Armani jeans
They're called skinny, my bitch is like a rasta with it
Black car, red bottoms, only mobster in it
It's like damn, bitch, niggaz lovin me now
Oh-nine Bonnie & Clyde doin it now - whoa
Murder murder, these bitches ain't never heard of
Gettin money, gettin hurt up, impatient to leak them burners[?]
Aiyyo Ross, send them bitches to the boss
The blood claat flyest bad bitch in New York
Y'all hoes better bow the fuck down and pay homage
I'm ten million sold and that's SoundScan knowledge
And all y'all rat bitches sound garbage
While me and Ross like the hood version of bombings
Bars give me style like when you steppin in my [?]
The 38 special in my Chanel sock
Now I got the llama and Ermet's dark
Word to sly swifter fox [?] who above me?
[?] say hello in pumps, Nickelus Curt with that bomb
So ladies raise your glass to this man song
Money ain't a thing, just look at my pinkie rings
So many numbers in the bank, shit could never be the same
Tall four Velours, withdrawals by Michael Kors
And I watch a pretty penny I'm talkin hundred or more
My critique for 'leet, not for the cheap
And my money in the street way longer than my receipt
Dealin with the money, no (Monie) all (In The Middle)
I'm dealin with [?] opponents, they gettin riddled
Box niggaz up, on the ropes
Louis sneakers, Louis luggage, the colognes and soaks
Smellin like money, my body tatted with hundreds
Oh-nine Bonnie Clyde, gotta live with it like uh
In Rick Ross's song "Murder Mami," the lyrics describe a woman who is confident, fashionable, and savvy. She is someone who frequents clubs and is admired by both men and women. She exudes sex appeal and power while being unapologetically herself. The lyrics go on to describe her stylish wardrobe, including designer items like Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. Throughout the song, the lyrics emphasize the woman's ability to take care of herself, not needing anyone to provide for her. She stands out in the neighborhood as the first woman to own a Bentley Coupe GT. The chorus emphasizes that these women are not to be underestimated as they are focused on getting money and are willing to take risks for it.
The song is noteworthy for its emphasis on the power and confidence of women. Rather than portraying women as passive, victims or objects, "Murder Mami" portrays women as capable, strong and independent individuals. The lyrics show how women can be fashionable and enjoy luxuries, but they also have the ambition and drive to get things done.
