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.
Blow
Rittz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Took a couple shots, instantly I got the urge
I called my homie's phone, he asked me where I am
I told him I'm at the crib, come thru and bring a couple gra-a-ams
This ain't every day, this ain't once a week
But sometimes when I get drunk, all I wanna do is geek
So we started snortin' lines, when it drained it tasted sweet
You could tell that shit was good, my mouth was crooked tryna spe-e-eak
When we're on that cocaine, it's us against the world
Did 1 line, 2 line, 3 lines, 4 lines, 5 lines in a row
My hands are getting' clammy, it's fuckin' up my nose
But here I go, I'm on that...
Blow (blow), oh shit
I be on that blow, and I said I'm gon' quit
I'm fucked up on that blow (blow), oh shit
And I really hope I don't end up overdosin'
Here we go again
I'm on that blow (blow), on that blo-o-ow
On that blow (blow), oh shit
I'm fucked up on that blow (blow), on that blo-o-ow
On that blow (blow), oh shit
This blow will make you talk, drinkin' while we chat
Talkin' bout our problems, yappin' about the past
But that shit is a secret if anybody asks
Tryna come down with them Xanex, we're poppin' lor-a-tabs
Last time we was high, my girl done spilled her glass
The coke was on the table, that drink got in the bag
So we started freakin' out cause that was all we had
We tried to microwave it, had to throw it in the tra-a-ash
Seven in the morning, startin' to see the sun
Got one more line left, one a piece until it's done
I pick up a CD case and spill that shit cause I was drunk
But instead of saying fuck it, tried to snort it off the rug
Cause we was fucked up on that...
Blow (blow), oh shit
I be on that blow, and I said I'm gon' quit
I'm fucked up on that blow (blow), oh shit
And I really hope I don't end up overdosin'
Here we go again
I'm on that blow (blow), on that blo-o-ow
On that blow (blow), oh shit
I'm fucked up on that blow (blow), on that blo-o-ow
On that blow (blow), oh shit
Here we go again
