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 ↴
Smoking weed and staying high
Partying till late at night
‘Cause all we do is drink
And all we do is smoke
And all were doing is wastin’ time
High school drop out chapter one
On the way to school smoking master blunts
My mom was at work my dad was gone
It felt wrong after the first period we run
Inside the woods back of burtmont high I’m 29
Skipping school made the winter feel like summertime
Getting U’s in every class but fuck if I don’t pass
I don’t plan to graduate I really wanna rhyme
In my cutlass I’m 16 meek leans
And I vow on rapper shit
Call my mom at work and told her fuck high school
I ain’t never going back I quit
She cried her eyes out all I did was laugh and click
Hung up on her what a dick like looking back at it
That was the last thing she need
She would cry herself to sleep every night
‘Cause my dad just left for shit
Maybe this a reason for rebellion
Maybe it’s the reason I’m inhaling, stealing,
Doing gas runs, breaking in the vacuum cleaners
Driving stolen cars like a hellion
Smoke another L then trying to act wrong
But we was just children, snorting coke, taking acid
Another shotgun to the nose 10 years in a row
High on a bunch,times racing past us
Smoking weed day and night
Partying till late in night
‘Cause all we do is drink
All we do is smoke
All were doing is wastin’ time
I know I need to change my life
But it’s hard for me to say goodnight
‘Cause all we do is drink
All we do is smoke
All were doing is wastin’ time
Kids my age done graduate in college
Some married some have some kids
Most of them have credit cards and cars
Or large houses, me I'm on that rapper shit
Which means I don’t got a job
I just have a couple hundred dollars
And a sack and a pack of cigs
Still smoke with the crew but it ain’t fun like it used to be
We got high, we don't laugh, we bitch about
Shit we don’t got funny enough
Some homie always got money for drugs
Getting too old to be running cops
Expired tags drunk driving with a gun in the glove
With no permit turned into a drug addict
Yesterday my dad called and he said that I concerned him
‘Cause I’m pale and i’m frail
When I sitting inside my house with my girlfriend like a hermit
Hurry pull the curtain
Working dead end jobs part time for the extra cash
But it never lasts, and i never had
Any backup plan, broke, running from a driver of a checkered cab
I need to catch a nap but not enough
For 3 days don ‘t mess with my so called better half
Oath to the 05 was a blur occurred to me one night
I was in the lab
Smoking weed day and night
Partying till late in night
‘Cause all we do is drink
All we do is smoke
All were doing is wastin’ time
I know I need to change my life
But it’s hard for me to say goodbye
‘Cause all we do is drink
All we do is smoke
All were doing is wastin’ time
Well I was wastin time while I was pacing around
With that MD20/20
Rap game ain’t paying my pockets ain't banging, my fridge is left still empty
Ribs are stickin, my mouth is dry, looking for another couch to occupy
Mama like come on baby maybe this ain’t for you
Give another 9 to 5 a try
But I rather sell bootleg movies out of my partner’s hooptie
Bang my music, roll a doobie
Sip some lean, hit the strip
Bang a bitch that probably average
But when she pops a pill she’s a savage
And I was half lit when I smashed it
Woke up at 2 with an eighth
Think I’m losing my faith, good Lord ain’t have shit
Eviction notice fuck being focused
I’m overdosin' on Jim Beam
Black out then I come to
Like what we sipping on, who got the green
‘Cause I need it
1.55 so can whip that and I eat it
It’s a blessing I’m still breathing
‘Cause I was
Smoking weed day and night
Partyin' till late in night
‘Cause all we do is drink
All we do is smoke
All were doing is wastin’ time
I know I need to change my life
But it’s hard for me to say goodnight
‘Cause all we do is drink
All we do is smoke
All were doing is wastin’ time
Partying till late at night
‘Cause all we do is drink
And all we do is smoke
And all were doing is wastin’ time

Smoking weed and staying high
Partying till late at night
‘Cause all we do is drink
And all we do is smoke
And all we're doing is wastin’ time
[Verse 1: Rittz]
High school dropout chapter one
On the way to school smoking massive blunts
My mom was at work, my dad was gone
It felt wrong, after first period we run
Inside the woods, back of Berkmar High on 29
Skipping school made the winter feel like summertime
Getting U's in every class but fuck if I don’t pass
I don’t plan to graduate I really wanna rhyme
In my cutlass I’m 16 meek leans
And vogues on that rapper shit
Call my mom at work and told her "fuck high school
I ain’t never going back, I quit"
She cried her eyes out, all I did was laugh and click
Hung up on her
What a dick, looking back at it
That was the last thing she need
She would cry herself to sleep every night
‘Cause my dad just left for shit
Maybe this a reason for rebellion
Maybe it’s the reason I’m inhaling
Stealing, doing gas runs, breaking in the vacuum cleaners
Driving stolen cars like a hellion
Smoke another L then trying to act grown
But we was just children, snorting coke, taking acid
Another shotgun to the nose
10 years in a row
High watching time waste and pass us
[Hook]
Smoking weed and staying high
Partying till late at night
‘Cause all we do is drink
And all we do is smoke
And all we’re doing is wastin’ time
I know I need to change my life
But it’s hard for me to say goodbye
‘Cause all we do is drink
And all we do is smoke
And all we’re doing is wastin’ time
[Verse 2: Rittz]
Kids my age done graduate in college
Some married some have some kids

Or large houses, me I'm on that rapper shit

And a sack and a pack of cigs
Still smoke with the crew but it ain’t fun like it used to be
We got high, we don't laugh, we bitch about
Shit we don’t got funny enough
Somehow we always got money for drugs
Getting too old to be running for cops
Expired tags drunk driving with a gun in the glove
With no permit turned into a drug addict

‘Cause I’m pale and i’m frail
When I sitting inside my house with my girlfriend like a hermit

Working dead end jobs part time for the extra cash
But it never lasts, and i never had
Any backup plan, broke, running from a driver of a checkered cab
I need to catch a nap but
I’ve been up for 3 days doin meth with my so called better half

[Verse 3: Big K.R.I.T.]
Well I was wastin time while I was pacing around
With that MD20/20
Rap game ain’t paying my pockets ain't banging, my fridgidaire still empty
Ribs are stickin, my mouth is dry, looking for another couch to occupy
Mama like come on baby maybe this ain’t for you
Give another 9 to 5 a try
But I rather sell bootleg movies out of my partner’s hooptie
Bang my music, roll a doobie
Sip some lean, hit the strip
Bang a bitch that probably average
But when she pops a pill she’s a savage
And I was half lit when I smashed it
Woke up at 2 there's an eighth
Think I’m losing my faith, good Lord ain’t have shit
Eviction notice fuck being focused
I’m overdosin on Jim Beam
Black out then I come to
Like what we sipping on, who got the green
‘Cause I need it
One 55 soaking wet, damn I ain’t eating
It’s a blessing I’m still breathing
‘Cause I was”
[Hook]
Smoking weed and staying high
Partying till late at night
‘Cause all we do is drink
And all we do is smoke
And all we’re doing is wastin’ time
I know I need to change my life
But it’s hard for me to say goodbye
‘Cause all we do is drink
And all we do is smoke
And all we’re doing is wastin’ time

This song so very well describes my current problem with cutting back or just straight up quitting so I can not only feel right during work and social events, but can also overall make better judgment calls in life. Listening in 2022 this album never gets old! Stay up all Rittz fans and stay strong, never quit following your dreams.
John Vigil
Since I quit smoking and drinking this song speaks volumes to me everyday. This right here gives me motivation, loads of it.
TheHarlemGhost2
It's the soulfulness of the message that spreads thru the hearts of its listeners, it gives us something to relate to, something to attach ourselves to, u don't have to have Lil Wayne money to connect to your fans.. Just a heart and soul

Rittz is the only rapper who doesn't have a disappointing song. Not once have I heard a song and thought to skip it. Every song has power to it rather than wasting time and saying random words over a beat.
James Stover
Rittz you are a genius. not only are u an amazing rapper but you write songs people can relate to and songs that make people like me reflect on their lives and want to better themselves. well done rittz
Sam Smith
Saw him and all of strange at HOB in Chicago. He came out o the bar and walked up to me and my bro and introduced himself and shook our hands. Rittz solid as fuck!
Beth Fu
I feel like I have lived my life in a cloud. Never heard of Ritz until I saw him in Kansas City Missouri at a Tech9 concert. The more I hear Ritz the more I fall in love with his lyrics. I believe Ritz is a musical genius! I can relate even though my background is very different from his. I love you Ritz! You are truly talented!
xhenchmanx
Rittz has talent, will be kickin ass in many years to come, with the wicked smooth flow and the beats bang hard as well
uNii7y
This track seriously needs WAYYY more views than what it does. I probably listen to this song at least 5 times daily.
