Brand new tennis chain, fancy pockets on my jeans
Headed for the walk dude, fore' they win him on the stage
Two a day, super pay
Stupid brain from a model

And everybody got a bottle
Got a bottle full of purp
Full of work, no leachin'

In the song "Boss" by Rick Ross, the lyrics emphasize personal freedom and wealth. Essentially, in his lyrics, he proposes that if you have enough money to do what you want, you will be living the life of a boss, and nobody can tell you how to live it. If you want to run, chill, or floss, you can do any of those things. The emphasis on personal freedom also suggests that the less wealthy have less freedom, as they cannot do whatever they want. Ross then goes on to brag about his car, his speakers, and his ballin' lifestyle.
Ross describes himself as a boss, indicating that he is successful and wealthy, which means he has the freedom to afford whatever life he desires. He also emphasizes that he can call the shots and those around him need to listen. The purpose of these lyrics is to portray Rick Ross as an extremely successful and influential person, one that is looked up to by many. He also states a determination to enjoy the finer things in life without any inhibition, and in doing so, he positions himself as a symbol of luxury living.
