How It Is
Roddy Ricch Lyrics

My diamonds shine like the stars
My diamonds are of such high quality that they are as shiny as stars in the sky.

And that's why a young nigga came through flexin'
I show off my wealth because I am proud of my success and the hard work that got me here.

Double Gs on me and my Patek luminescent, yeah
I wear luxury brands such as Gucci and Patek Philippe, and my watch is so bright and shiny that it is luminous.

Buss down to Cartiers and got a new necklace
I purchased a new necklace from the high-end brand Cartier that is adorned with diamonds and other precious stones.

Pull up in the drop, got us in a new message
I arrived in a fancy car such as a convertible, which sent a message to those around me of my wealth and success.

I wanna get rich and put a milli on my wrist
My goal is to become very wealthy and purchase an expensive watch worth one million dollars.

Lately I been driving, prolly riding with the stick
Recently, I have been driving around with a gun, probably to protect myself in dangerous situations like I used to experience in the past.

If you came from the bottom then you know how it is
If you also grew up in a difficult environment and had to struggle to succeed in life, then you understand what I have been through.

I came from the struggle so I know how it is
I grew up in a challenging environment, so I understand the struggles that people face when trying to succeed.

I ain't gotta do no cap
I don't need to lie or exaggerate about my success or wealth.

Riding in the back of the 'Bach
I am riding in the backseat of a luxury car such as a Maybach.

Can't do no relaxing, all I do is trap
I can't afford to relax and take it easy because I need to keep selling drugs to make money and support myself.

'Cause I want a new AP, yeah
One of my goals is to purchase a new Audemars Piguet watch.

Diamonds looking like HD, yeah
My diamonds are so clear and high-quality that they look like they are in high definition.

Young nigga had to get it on my own and it made me, yeah
I had to work hard and achieve my success on my own, and that struggle has made me into the person I am today.

Hoppin' out the Jet they know that all my diamonds wet, yeah
When I get off my private jet, people can see that my diamonds are shining brightly in the light.

I want a milli, I can't ever settle for less, no
I want to become a millionaire and I won't settle for anything less.

Got a lot of cash on me so I gotta ride with the TEC, yeah
I carry a lot of money with me, so I need to be prepared to protect myself by carrying a gun.

Got it out the mud and I'm ballin' like the Nets, yeah
I started from nothing, but now I am successful and wealthy like the Brooklyn Nets basketball team.

I'm the youngest, richest nigga in the set, yeah
I am the youngest and wealthiest member of my group or community.

Call me 21 Savage, I just shitted on my ex, yeah
I am comparing myself to rapper 21 Savage, who is known for being successful and wealthy, and saying that I have surpassed my ex and am more successful than them.

I was tryna get rich off the pyrex
I was selling drugs to try to make money and become wealthy.

Came straight up out the yacht, yeah
I came from the bottom and worked hard to become successful and wealthy.

Take the money, clean the muddy, just depends on my mood (ayy)
Sometimes I choose to keep my money from illegal activities, but other times I choose to use it to invest or clean up my image.

Plug talk out in Cali, now I'm shipping that food (ayy)
I make deals with drug suppliers in California, and now I am selling those drugs in a different location.

Nigga, I don't mean no P notes, 50 pounds in the room (Ganja)
I don't make small deals or use small amounts of drugs, I have 50 pounds in my possession.

Young and getting it, ain't selling mine or trusting a soul, yeah
I am young and successful and I don't trust anyone when it comes to my money or my illegal activities.

Gangster films had taught me keep your eyes on your bros, yeah
I have learned from gangster movies that it is important to be careful and watch your back, even around your closest friends and family.

Niggas talkin' crazy, dawg, I thought we was woes, yeah
Even though I thought we were friends and close, some people are talking about me behind my back and saying negative things.

Enemies ain't always far, nah they can be close, yeah
I have learned that my enemies might not be strangers or people far away from me, they could be people in my own community or even my own friends.

Boy, rapping ain't dead but your rhymes is
Rap music is still alive and well, but your lyrics are not very good.

Trapping ain't dead but your line is
There are still people making money from selling drugs, but your method of selling is not successful.

Never get the cake or the icing
You will never achieve success or reach your goals.

Older seen a young nigga shining
Older people have noticed that I am successful and wealthy despite being young.

Can't build a line, wanna line him
People who are not successful or wealthy themselves want to try to bring me down or criticize my success.

So we gon' pull up in diamonds
To show off our wealth and success, we will arrive at a location wearing expensive diamond jewelry.

Diamonds shining, mummy thinks that I'm a star
Because of my shining diamond jewelry, my mother perceives me as a star or successful person.

Broski, don't you turn on me, we come this far
Friend, don't betray me or turn on me because we have been through a lot together and come a long way.

Put a bustdown on my wrist, I pull her hair, I'm cumming fast
I have an expensive watch on my wrist and when I have sex, it is so pleasurable that I orgasm quickly.

Put a bustdown on my kicks, cash in my jeans, grind extra hard
I wear expensive shoes and carry a lot of cash in my pants pocket, which motivates me to work even harder to make more money.

Big cash when I spill, no cap
When I drop money, it is a lot because I am very wealthy and this is not an exaggeration.

Big cheese, can't hang with rats
As a successful and wealthy person, I have to be careful about who I associate with and make sure they are not people who will bring me down or betray me.

It's the life that she wan' snap
Women are attracted to me because of my successful and wealthy lifestyle, and they want to take pictures with me to show off to their friends on social media.

Big metal, we don't do no scrap
I carry a gun for protection, but I am not someone who gets into petty fights or arguments with others.

I still pray all my days that I see the next day
Despite my success and wealth, I still worry about my safety and pray that I will live to see another day.

Where I'm from they die young, can't get rid of my name
In the area where I grew up, many young people die before they can achieve success, and even though I am now successful, my name and reputation from that area still follow me.

Get rich, like Roddy, big drip, no Tommy
I want to become wealthy like Roddy Ricch and have a lot of success, but I don't need to use violence or aggression like the character Tommy from the TV show Power.

Jeans, Mike Amiri, got checks like Louis
I wear expensive designer jeans such as Mike Amiri, and have a lot of money in the bank like the luxury brand Louis Vuitton.

Fell in love with a girl before she told me her name
I was so attracted to a woman that I fell in love with her before even learning her name or getting to know her better.

I can't cry, I buy diamonds just to freeze all my pain
Instead of expressing my emotions and crying, I cope with my pain by buying expensive diamond jewelry to distract myself and show off my wealth.
