Ricky Hil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm better on my own, I'm grown, and I
I got some stupid addictions, but the young people listen, listen to me, yeah
Mom, the first time I tried, I felt so free, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mom, the first time I tried, I felt so free, yeah yeah yeah
Do you have anything to help me sleep, mom?
I've been going all week mom, and I wanna come down
I feel sick mom, and I won't come down
We got, we got what we wanted, now it's killing us
We got, we got what we wanted, now it's killing us
You wouldn't wanna see me like I am now
Because I'm getting higher, it's taking its toll on me now
Mom, I'm a rolling stone, I know I ain't been home
I'm better on my own, I'm grown, and I
I got some stupid addictions, but the young people listen, listen to me, yeah
Mom, the first time I tried, I felt so free, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mom, the first time I tried, I felt so free, yeah yeah yeah
And I say mom, don't wait for me
Bless and heal then pray for me
Know I be with Ricky Hil faithfully
Try and turn an instrumental to an 8th a key
In Hollywood, with molly on deck
Bitches everywhere so it's bitches on my neck
She say I'm the shit, now I think I'm obsessed
But I'mma fuck her and I'mma leave her upset
But mamma raised an angel, streets raised a devil
Came with a bible, left with a Chevy (I'm a rebel)
I was killing them niggas, you really drilling them niggas, I wasn't feeling them niggas
Ask Ricky Hil how he feel, he told me he wasn't feeling them niggas
So we ride real slow, in the Lincoln, (chief low?),
All black, whatchu know, CT DC we go
Searching for drugs, searching for bitches and bitches searching for love
We just searching for highs, we just searching for God
Mom, I'm a rolling stone, I know I ain't been home
I'm better on my own, I'm grown, and I
I got some stupid addictions, but the young people listen, listen to me, yeah
Mom, the first time I tried, I felt so free, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Mom, the first time I tried, I felt so free
I'm a, I'm a rolling stone
I'm better on my own
Listen to me
In Ricky Hil's song "M.O.M.", he addresses his mother, acknowledging that he has been away from home as a "rolling stone" and admits that he prefers to be on his own. However, he also reveals that he has developed some self-destructive addictions and is struggling to keep his head above water. He asks his mother for help, asking if she has anything to help him sleep, anyone he could see, or if she could bless, heal, and pray for him. Ricky also admits that he feels free when under the influence of drugs, but recognizes the toll that addiction is taking on him. Throughout the song, he reflects on his life choices and acknowledges the conflicts between the angel that his mother raised and the devil that the streets have molded him into.
At first glance, "M.O.M." appears to be a song about drugs and addiction. However, there is a deeper meaning behind the lyrics. The song highlights the struggles that come with the pursuit of fame and fortune, and the need to maintain a certain persona when in the public eye. Ricky acknowledges the pressure that young people in the music industry face to conform to societal expectations, be cool, and have a certain image. The song explores the disconnect between Ricky's true self and the persona he needs to portray in order to succeed in the music industry. It also highlights the importance of family and the difficult balance between pursuing one's dreams and maintaining personal relationships.
