Your Beautiful Smile
Ricky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Its like doing the same thing
10 Thousand times
And hoping you'll get it right
But you never do

Lifes' full of left blows and tight hooks
The Story was written
Much like a bad book
The pictures all blurred
Smacked up and wrapped up
Underestimated
Canceled
Back up
I can't imagine
Manifesting this bad stuff
Chillin out back
Hang'n out in my hammock
With some slayer on
Satanic
Reigning sun
But I paid in blood
Medicinal bud
Change these planes like a boss
My lane my floss
It's all good baby baby
Run Ricky Run
I'm just having some fun
Double R
The next slick Rick Ross
Let me tinker with your thoughts
Keep it real real chill
No need to rush
Kick in at intervals
Intersect with the parallels
Stronger power than
The minerals
Don't be soft just like a dinner roll
(Butter ya up)

Give 'em an inch
And they taking a mile
Give 'em an inch
While they Steal your smile
Give 'em an inch
And they taking a mile
Give 'em an inch
Help them out for a while

A spitting image
Of my father
But different
I switched things up
Big decisions
He got the vision
Genetic Collision
Hit the nail on the head when We built this
Kept the Bond strong
Despite the conditions
Weathered the storm
Since the distance was long
Both heads
Balder then your tires
With Ya broke ass
Listen to this song
While I smoke grass
Never got to experience the 70s
Quaaludes Acapulco gold
Or Jimmy Hendrix
Colorblind eyes
Over 40 years old
See things a little different
The vision was dull
Gave me a mission
Ran it back
Sat down think bank
And then i made this track
Dust off the mic
And i put it on wax
Walked that mile that ill never back

Give 'em an inch
And they taking a mile
Give 'em an inch
While they steal your smile
Give 'em an inch
And they taking a mile
Give 'em an inch
Help them out for a while

See right through em
With my Minds eye
You bought a trip
And A ticket to ride
I eat some shrooms
And then glide Off them trails
You get paranoid and bite your on nails
No one wants to pay me for beats these days
FUCK EM I'll just use them for myself ANYWAY
Their loss my gain
I used to party hardy
Now I'm in my forty's
And i m always fuckin tired
Goddamnit
I don't give a fuck about personas
Imma be my self and eat a whole buncha doughnuts

I grew up on
Tupac wutang
And Onyx
Biggie no limit
Gotta pay them some homage
This has been my whole life
No gimmicks
I don't listen to rap no mo
I create hits
All the bullshit
I can't take it no mo
Hit em with the flavor
That top ramen flow

Give 'em an inch
And they taking a mile
Give 'em an inch
While they steal your smile
Give 'em an inch
And they taking a mile




Give 'em an inch
Help them out for a while

Overall Meaning

The first verse of Ricky's song "Your Beautiful Smile" lyrically depicts the mundane repetition of everyday life. The metaphor of doing the same thing ten thousand times and hoping to get it right but never succeeding, suggests monotony and futility. The second part of the verse takes a darker turn, painting life as full of left blows and tight hooks, much like a bad book. It portrays a sense of helplessness and a lack of control over one’s own life. The use of blurred pictures and being underestimated symbolizes the hopelessness and despair that the singer may be experiencing. In contrast to the negative imagery, the singer tries to find solace in chilling out and hanging in a hammock while listening to Slayer, highlighting the idea of finding comfort in small things amidst the chaos. Overall, it seems that the song is about trying to find meaning and happiness in a world that often feels chaotic and unforgiving.


The chorus of the song "Your Beautiful Smile" is a repetition of the phrase "Give 'em an inch and they'll take a mile." The lyrics signify that the world is full of people who will take from others without giving anything back. The phrase "give them an inch, while they steal your smile" can be interpreted in different ways, but it seems that the singer is warning the listener about being too trusting of others who might take advantage of them. In the second part of the chorus, the lyrics take on a slightly more hopeful tone, suggesting that helping others can be a positive thing, but only for a limited time. The song's overall message might be that life is complicated and messy, but there is still beauty and joy to be found if one looks for it.
