Ricky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think the less you know the better - I just grew up in Sac town
With a lot of written letters put the pen and the pad down
Seen alotta different weather When I'm spitting Im mad now
Cause I can't tell if I love it or hate it
I Hate making the payments
I'm so sick of the statements
I've had all the patience
And I still haven't had enough
I want It in the open
I hope you know I lied
I'm not what you hoped
Youre not what I described
Look I wrote it in the verses, this shit is all a Scam
So I guess it's you Vs. where I've been and where I am
They use to wanna hear it I wonder if they will now
Bonfiya blaze, Uncle Arp burn a hill down
I hope that you pay all the attention it'll cost you
I don't want no one here to know I ever lost you
Cause if they do then it's true, I guess this one is for you
I don't want no one to know, I didn't know what to do
(Oh) I think I might've forgotten a sentence last time
(Oh) Turn these thoughts into visions out of my past times
(Oh) shine like a prism, it isn't nothing to pass time
(Oh) Bonds like a chemist, a sure incentive to grasp life
(Oh) holy smokes brother what have we here
(Oh) another dose of life, I shed an average tear does it Still feel the same?
Or has it changed like the gears do put it in the rearview
Driving as we near truth
Cause if they do then it's true, I guess this one is for you
I don't want no one to know, I didn't know what do
The lyrics to Ricky's song "No.1" seem to be expressing some inner turmoil and conflicting emotions that the artist is experiencing. He starts by apologizing for his "casual backgrounds" and suggesting that it's better if people don't know too much about him. He then talks about growing up in Sacramento, and how he's seen a lot of different weather, both literally and metaphorically. When he's rapping, he's angry, but he's not sure whether he loves or hates it. He seems to be frustrated with the music industry, with making payments and having to wait for success to come, and he's tired of pretending like he's got it all figured out.
The second half of the song seems to be more introspective. Ricky wonders if people still want to hear his music, and he name-checks some influential people in his life. He talks about wanting to keep his personal struggles hidden, and afraid of losing someone important to him. There's a sense of regret and uncertainty in the lyrics, as Ricky seems to be grappling with his own insecurities and limitations.
Overall, "No.1" is a song that touches on themes of self-doubt, fame, and the challenges of the music industry. It's a reflective and introspective piece that offers a glimpse into the mind of an artist trying to navigate the pressures of success.
