Countin' Up
Rico Nasty Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hello? Yeah bitch, I said I'm on my way
The fuck? Bitch I'm coming, the fuck?
Woah! Kenny! Yeah!
I'm the bitch with the long hair and the top off
Talk tough, like a bottle top, we twist your top off
Had to hit the turn quick, just to get the narcs off
Shake it up - no Coca-Cola, I'm the one that pop off
Hit me on my Motorola if you need some narcos
I've been working every day, no, I ain't never call off
Talking shit on Instagram, that pistol make you log off
It's upsetting that these bitches think they better than me
I got the bar too high and it's hard to beat
Gucci shades hit dark so it's hard to see
The easy part is gettin' money but it's hard to keep
I know you seeing that I am busy so, don't bother me
Like I passed every test, you ain't as smart as me
You a stunt double, shawty you a wanna be
See me on the scene, you know that I charged the fee
Like yeah!
What? What? What? What? What? What?
Bitches on my dick, so what?
What? What? What? What? What? What?
It don't matter 'cause I'm steady countin' up
What? What? What? What? What? What?
Bitches on my dick, so what?
What? What? What? What? What? What?
It don't matter 'cause I'm steady countin' up
You can't even handle a bitch like me
Make my own money, and I buy my own weed
Touch my wrist and your hand gon' freeze
Beggin' for the kitty on his hands and knees
Who you frontin' on? Come on girl, I know you a rookie
You got some followers, so what? Do you want you a cookie?
I got promoters throwin' shows so they can say that they booked me
When I walk up in the mall, they be turnin' and lookin'
No race, I went easy 'cause the pace I been pushin'
In the stew, I'm like a chef, they like, "Rico, what you cookin'?"
Probably one of these bitches' heads, I'm better than all the rest
No this is not a drill, hoe, this shit is not a test
I think you need to roll out, catch you actin' too hesitant
I bet you can't count all the money that I just spent
They singin' to the feds like they Jazmine Sullivan
My racks too big, I just popped my rubber band
What? What? What? What? What? What?
Bitches on my dick, so what?
What? What? What? What? What? What?
It don't matter 'cause I'm steady countin' up
What? What? What? What? What? What?
Bitches on my dick, so what?
What? What? What? What? What? What?
It don't matter 'cause I'm steady countin' up

Bitches on my dick, so what?
I don't care if other women are jealous of me
It don't matter 'cause I'm steady countin' up
But it doesn't matter because I'm making money
You can't even handle a bitch like me
You can't handle a strong woman like me
Make my own money, and I buy my own weed
I'm independent and I don't rely on anyone else
Touch my wrist and your hand gon' freeze
My jewelry is expensive and impressive
Beggin' for the kitty on his hands and knees
Men beg for my attention and affection
Who you frontin' on? Come on girl, I know you a rookie
Don't act like you're tough, I know you're inexperienced
You got some followers, so what? Do you want you a cookie?
Just because you have followers doesn't mean you're special
I got promoters throwin' shows so they can say that they booked me
Promoters want to work with me because I'm popular
When I walk up in the mall, they be turnin' and lookin'
I turn heads when I enter a room or public space
No race, I went easy 'cause the pace I been pushin'
I'm not competing with anyone, I'm just doing my own thing
In the stew, I'm like a chef, they like, "Rico, what you cookin'?"
In the recording studio, I'm like a chef, creating something new
Probably one of these bitches' heads, I'm better than all the rest
My music is better than anyone else's
No this is not a drill, hoe, this shit is not a test
I'm serious, this is not a joke
I think you need to roll out, catch you actin' too hesitant
You need to leave, you're not confident enough
I bet you can't count all the money that I just spent
I spend a lot of money and it's hard to keep track
They singin' to the feds like they Jazmine Sullivan
People are snitching to the police like Jazmine Sullivan sings
My racks too big, I just popped my rubber band
I have a lot of money and my rubber band just snapped
