Raised in Gwinnett County, Rittz embodies the same level of irony and self-conflict as his hometown. Born into a musical family, he, his twin sister and their brother had always been exposed to the inner workings of music. The fact that their parents were heavily into rock and roll ensured that the kids were always around instruments or in studios. The family moved from small-town Pennsylvania (Waynesburg) to the Atlanta outskirts when he was eight years old, and once Rittz got to junior high, his musical tastes evolved. Atlanta’s booming bass and rap movement had traveled north on I-85 to get the entire metro area jumping.

Rittz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All around the world
I'm just a kid from the JC
Who would've thought you would see me
On MTV one day and I came along
Wait from Britain on CD
Up in the bass mic on cruise roll
I'm doing shit on the house of blues
And they'll lay on stage a whole crowd be cheering me on
Disappear when we on
Up in the tour bus on to the next state
The last one was eleven weeks long
Friends saying you made it risk
You don't play the shit
Eating dry egg stakes on a Vegas trip
Die hard fans would be showing up
Like "hey would you please sign my ladies hits?"
I'm like, fine
You can touch Rittz I don't mind
I say congratulations on your latest hit
You got big stone put them online
'Cause girl might drip out
Me and her we done had a hard time
7 years we ain't never had a dime
Eventhough it ain't much it feel like getting ditch now
I just signed a deal so I'ma get it now
I told Tech to travel won't let him down
It's an honor to be a part of strange music
A label this time I go the extra mile
And I could crack a smile without faking it
'Cause a few people knew me get an A
Now I got dudes over in the UK
Getting tattoos of my face they know me
All around the world
All around the world
They know me all around the world
All around the world
One time the homies in Toronto
Fans that feel me in Montreal
2 years ago if it wasn't for no bag dog
I'd probably wouldn't have no luck at all
Had to try my card and do spot days
On a piece of junk I stall and I'ma rude the call
Shit overheard in this Hennessy
Hundred degree and we stranded but we'll be falls
I'm like no,
Danny Boom , Dean Jones
Help niggas paying my fan base
When I was dead broke they would throw me some cheese for shows
That's real
We done stayed in some shitty hotels
Sleeping on top but it comes in wearing socks
And we should not know and the shit would go ill
On stage on the country raw but nobody knew me
Openin' for rehab again
If I must let the opposite of line
Cheap Jynx have one make a mac with it
Across country fans like I knew it's just a come see
Me and my own I ain't had nobody fond me
3 star hotel used to be a luxury
Now we're getting kicked out of this reppin'
Smoking weed, drinking crown
Celebrating we in town
Cars would take us to the after party
Weird I was begging for my pick and out
And I'm blessed but now I gotta go and get more
I was just a kid and we're here with a dream
Gotta be like Dre and big boy
Now they know
All around the world
All around the world
They know me all around the world
All around the world
Third verse I'ma dedicate to my homies
Slick boy, chico, freaky freeze
Warrup Ralo, trans ain't held me down
But thank God they believed in me
My boys mandatory Irish nut
We hit a motherfucker if we start the but
Shortcut name Rittz and kids named me white Jesus
Look what you started bro that's love
Dallas had finally came on
For the days and back and I ain't grade for the football
Game trying to sell my own thoughts
And my friends I miss
Growing up and we had to part ways
We was young we set on chain
But we still climb a tail homies we on both ways
Used to my rap friends but all vulnerable
They would get to live our dreams
They told me the town is valuable
But truthfully town niggas everything, it's unfair
That's why I gotta thank my fans
I could be the best rapper alive without them nobody really give a damn
All around the world
All around the world
They know me all around the world
All around the world
