Rico Nasty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't have a choice, I gotta run it up
I got me a little change but it's just not enough
Thought I fell in love but I found out that it was lust
I felt like something was missing, it must have been trust
Don't like to talk about growing up, because I had it rough
But you know good and well I'm not the one to put your pity on
I be high, I be gone, I be right, I be wrong
But I did it all on my own, you dig?
Might take a few steps, feel like I'm taking back six
I just woke up to a check, you dig?
Let me take a deep breath, I ain't going broke again
I did it all on my own, you dig?
Might take a few steps, feel like I'm taking back six
I just woke up to a check, you dig?
Let me take a deep breath, I ain't going broke again
Sometimes I get distracted by madness
Why do tragedies happen? What if I'm not adapting?
Friends posting pictures, I'm like where was I when this happened?
People looking at me funny, it's like money's the magnet
It's like I'm doing magic, the way I flip it and bag it
Shit might go wrong, I don't panic
I know I got some bad habits, but who doesn't?
No discussion, I ain't bluffing, I do this shit like it's nothing
Put my all into something, yeah, I came up from nothing
But I did it all on my own, you dig?
Might take a few steps, feel like I'm taking back six
I just woke up to a check, you dig?
Let me take a deep breath, I ain't going broke again
I did it all on my own, you dig?
Might take a few steps, feel like I'm taking back six
I just woke up to a check, you dig?
Let me take a deep breath, I ain't going broke again
Well now, if there's anything you should need, just let me know
I'd be very pleased to do it for you
You only have to say the word
The lyrics to "Again" by Rico Nasty and Kenny Beats convey a sense of resilience and determination in the face of life's challenges. The opening lines highlight the singer's drive to succeed, even when faced with limited resources. They acknowledge having some financial stability, but it falls short of their ambitions. The mention of falling in love and realizing it was only lust reveals a sense of disappointment and a longing for something deeper.
The lyrics also touch upon the singer's difficult upbringing, implying that they have faced hardships in their past. However, they assert that they are not seeking pity but instead are motivated to represent their city wherever they go. This speaks to their pride and determination to make a name for themselves.
The chorus reinforces the idea of self-reliance and independence, emphasizing that the singer has achieved their success on their own. They acknowledge that progress may be slow, but they celebrate waking up to a sense of accomplishment and financial security. The repeated line, "I ain't going broke again," highlights their determination to maintain their newfound stability and not fall back into difficult times.
The second verse delves into the singer's introspection and moments of doubt. They express being distracted by the chaos and tragedy around them, questioning their ability to adapt. They feel left out when friends post pictures, and they sense that money has become a magnet, leading others to view them differently. Despite these challenges, they embrace their ability to "flip it and bag it," demonstrating resourcefulness and resilience. The verse also acknowledges the singer's bad habits but asserts that they are still capable of achieving greatness.
Overall, "Again" conveys a message of self-determination, resilience, and the drive to overcome obstacles. It showcases the singer's journey from a challenging past to a place of success, all achieved through their own hard work and determination.

Rico is so underrated and actually genius with this album. The title “anger management” fits so well because she starts off with very loud, aggressive songs like Cold and gradually calms down and transitions into more chill songs like this one. So when you listen to the album in order, you can actually hear her managing her anger.
