Roddy Ricch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I start countin' the faces
Soon as I bust my face down
All these niggas wanna hate me now
Got bleu cheese in the safe now
Diamonds outline my name now
I done seen the worst outcomes
Why a nigga ride around with my drum (yeah, yeah)
Why these niggas gotta envy me? (Tell me, why, though?)
Is it 'cause I got them racks on me?
Chanel's on the drip, double C
Jewelry cold as the ice in my lean (yeah, yeah)
I was in the field, like Madden (Madden)
Hopped off the porch, and I ain't know what happened (what happened)
I can feel this codeine in my abdomen
Now I got more money than I was fathomin'
I was rich, went broke, and got a bag again
I just wanna make sure I got enough saved for the kids
I just wanna make sure my habits ain't affectin' the way I live
I came up out the streets, nigga I can't lie that's how I live
Nigga I can't lie, shit changed
When I start countin' the faces
Soon as I bust my face down
All these niggas wanna hate me now
Got bleu cheese in the safe now
Diamonds outline my name now
I done seen the worst outcomes
Why a nigga ride around with my drum (yeah, yeah)

Chanel's on the drip, double C
Chanel clothing and accessories are part of my outfit
Jewelry cold as the ice in my lean
My jewelry is as flashy as my drink with ice in it
I was in the field, like Madden
I was out there grinding just like a player in a football game
Hopped off the porch, and I ain't know what happen
I took a risk, and wasn't sure of the outcome
I can feel this codeine in my abdomen
I can feel the effects of this drug in my stomach
Now I got more money than I was fathomin'
I have more money than I ever thought possible
I was rich, went broke, and got a bag again
I had riches, lost it all, but now I'm back on top
I just wanna make sure I got enough saved for the kids
I want to make sure I have enough money saved for the future of my family
I just wanna make sure my habits ain't effectin' the way I live
I want to make sure my actions aren't negatively impacting my lifestyle
I came up out the streets, nigga I can't lie that's how I live
I came from a rough background, and that's still a part of who I am
