Down Below
Roddy Ricch Lyrics

(Scott Storch) A nigga came from the bottom, down below
I rose up from the very bottom level of society and got successful.

'Member them cold nights, I was sleepin' on the floor
I remember the tough times when I would sleep on cold floors.

Always dreamed about the Forgiato feet, now they down below
I always had an aspiration to own Forgiato feet wheels and now that dream came true.

A nigga got so much money on me, I can't count no more
I have so much money that it's hard to keep track of it.

'Member I was in the project walls, couldn't even get a loan
I remember being in the projects where it was hard to even get a loan.

Now these niggas got they hands out, if I ain't give it, I'd be wrong
Now people expect money from me, and if I don't give it, they think I am wronging them.

'Member I was in the county jail none of these bitches wasn't pickin' up the phone
I remember being in the county jail with no one picking up my calls.

Now they bangin' my line, I ain't got time no more
Now that I'm successful, people keep calling me but I don't have the time to answer every call.

A nigga started from the bottom, now I'm livin'
I rose up from the bottom and I am living a great life now.

Early morning, uncle whippin' in the kitchen
My uncle used to cook in the kitchen early in the morning.

Some people said I couldn't do it and I did it
Some people doubted me, but I proved them wrong.

Look at my bank account, I'm runnin' up the digits
My bank account balance keeps growing higher and higher.

I ain't into all that 'Doin'-that-façade' shit
I don't act fake and pretend to be someone I am not.

I walk it, I talk it, I live it
I live by what I say and do, I am true to my words.

Come to the bird house, look at the garage, nigga
Come visit my house, look at my garage and cars.

My Bentley coupe got a couple pigeons
I have a Bentley Coupe with some female companions interested in riding with me.

I was down on my ass, had to go a new direction
I was in a tough situation and had to make a new plan for my life.

Bought mom a Gucci purse, gave her ten racks, told her you ain't gotta stress it
I bought my mom a Gucci purse and gave her ten thousand dollars to help her relax and not worry about finances.

It ain't even an emergency and a nigga 'bout to pull up in a 911
I can afford a 911 car and can buy it even when I don't have an emergency situation.

Just to feed my dawgs, I told God it's a blessin' (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm grateful to God for enabling me to take care of my friends by feeding them as it's a blessing.

Roddy Ricch, yeah, I never took the safe route
I, Roddy Ricch never played it safe in my music career.

Nigga came from the bottom, I had to make it out
I came from the bottom, and I had to find a way to come out and improve my life.

I was trappin' in the box, I had to break out
I was in a situation when I was trapped, and I had to break out of it.

Hurt my soul when the feds kicked down the vacant house
It hurt me to see when the federal authorities raided my empty house.

Black truck on the corner, they had a stakeout
I saw a black truck on the corner, and I knew that the police were keeping an eye on me.

Seen a dope boy pullin' out a Wraith out
I saw a drug dealer driving a Wraith car.

Had to get up out the hood to the lake house
I had to leave the neighborhood and live in a luxurious lake house.

The head chef 'bout to bring my steak out
The chef is getting ready to bring me my steak dish.

I was pourin' up the liters, swipin' them Visas
I used to pour up liters of drinks and pay with my Visa card.

They think a nigga Rondo 'cause I always kept a Nina
People suspect me of being shady and conspiring as I always carry a gun.

Now my jewelry wetter than Aquafina, quick trip to Catalina
My jewelry is so sparkling that even Aquafina water looks dull next to it. I can afford a trip to Catalina island anytime I want.

White bitch bad as Selena, fuck her, then a nigga gotta leave
I had sex with a beautiful white woman, and after that, I had to leave.

I just wanna shine like the Wraith roof stars 'cause a nigga been down so long
I want to shine brightly like the roof stars of Wraith car because I had struggled for so long.

Ain't nobody see, bird vision, dawg, got it all on our own
No one could see our struggles, but we overcame all the problems on our own.

'Member them nights I was trappin', I was trappin' all night long
I remember the times when I used to trap all night and hustle for money.

Now I keep a shooter on the right, just in case a nigga try to do me wrong (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Now I always carry a gun with me to protect myself in case of anyone trying to harm me.

Down below, down below Down below, down below-ow-ow-ow Down below, down below Down below, down below-ow-ow-ow, yeah yeah
This is the chorus that repeats throughout the song.

(Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah) Scott, you lit this bitch up, nigga (Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
The rapper appreciates Scott Storch, who produced this song.
