Numb
Rick Ross ft Cassie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I make music to numb your brain
Ride the wave
New young ruler of the beat and the vox
Breezy tonic, fresh like rain
My beat mans cruel, he's the freakiest box banger
Fox hanging on my coat, rocks hanging on my chain
Bang bang and I hit it with impeccable aim
Bang bang and I blow it up, they don't know whats up
If they think for a second that I do it for the fame
'Cause I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
Bottle after bottle, I am balling like Robert Griffin
Never made love I had her coming from a distance
Said I was a mason, Martin Margiela
Triple Beam, hustling, thatโs full of cheddar
Yellow brick road, I'm told itโs just a cakewalk
Now itโs Philip Lim on them, no more 8-Balls
Un-cut, my love thatโs all thug
Call them different names in the middle of the plug
Went on world tours, paid in all cash
Top floor views, my wall is all glass
All paid dues but normally fall fast
Same bitch you shittinโ on the only thing that'll last
I am trying to see 100 of โem
Kobe Bryant money, nigga you ainโt gotta love him
Swish, new rims on the six
Tell me that you numb if you not feeling this, Rick
When I make the wave, you ride it (Ride the wave, ride the wave)
If you insane and it's late in the night
You can smoke one, pop one, close your eyes
You can say this in your mind
And I say it all the time
Iโm the same, insane
Itโs a damn good time
Itโs a damn good time
Iโm just saying itโs a damn good time
In-vi-gorating, impact ya like ice
Beat, pulsating, your heart skips twice
On the bass drum, and them pumps so nice
Heart skips twice, and them pumps so nice
On the bass drum, pumps so nice
Heart skip, ride the wave
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
I make music to numb your brain
It's a damn good time, I'm just saying it's a damn good time
When I make the wave (ride the wave)
When I make the wave (ride the wave)
I make music to numb your brain
The lyrics to "Numb" by Rick Ross featuring Cassie are all about the power of music to escape reality and feel free. The artist makes it clear that he creates music that is meant to numb the listener's brain, allowing them to ride the wave of his beats and lyrics. He claims to be the new young ruler of beats and vocals, the one at the forefront of creating music that has a fresh sound and is as refreshing as rain.
The song touches on themes of wealth and fame, and the lifestyle that comes with it. Rick Ross talks about his success in the music industry, going on world tours, and getting paid in cash. He also references famous designers like Martin Margiela and Philip Lim, as well as sports stars like Kobe Bryant. But he also warns against falling too deeply into the trap of living a fast-paced and wealthy lifestyle, reminding the listener that the only thing that lasts is the same things they might overlook or dismiss, like their relationships.
Perhaps the most striking aspect of "Numb" is the way it encourages escapism. The lyrics suggest that listeners can smoke or pop something to forget their troubles, offering a temporary but satisfying sense of numbing. The beat, beat, beat of the music is what truly delivers the escape, allowing the listener to be transported into a world that feels removed from their everyday struggles.
Overall, "Numb" captures the essence of what pop music is often meant to do: provide an escape from reality through beats and lyrics that allow the listener to ride the wave.
