Perfect Time
Roddy Ricch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Peanut butter seats came perfect time
Rich but I'm still ducking one time
I seen the light, then I climbed in
Had to take 'em out, we ain't gon' dine in
Shawty done fell in love with all my diamonds
But everybody change on you like the seasons (yeah)
Sippin' 1942, Don Julio
I ain't got time for all these eyes and these groupie hoes

Late night, I've been cruisin' down the interstate
Late night, I've been thinkin' a lot of niggas hate
Told my dawg let's pour tons of Ace
If he talkin' out his lip, we gotta give cuz a taste
I can't let no niggas smut my name
Especially when these lil' niggas see me as reputable
And the OG's respect me that done came out my section
We just bought Cullinan just to maintain
I talk to him, my brother 'nem, he on the same thang
We just tryna motivate, bought the AP, show the face
Feel like I'm a Zoe today, feel like I'm a woe today
I was in Miami with a bitch, gave me cold face
She had this dick on her noseplate

Peanut butter seats came perfect time
Rich but I'm still ducking one time
I seen the light, then I climbed in
Had to take 'em out, we ain't gon' dine in
Shawty done fell in love with all my diamonds
But everybody change on you like the seasons
Sippin' 1942, Don Julio
I ain't got time for all these eyes and these groupie hoes

I don't know what love is, I can't tell
Everybody come around like carousel, hmm
She got a birthday cake like it's my twenty-first
I done came a long way, I made it out the dirt, yeah
See my niggas in the hearse, havin' nightmares in church
Tryna make sure my mama got a couple racks in her purse
Got a showroom, car came from the top row, yeah
Don't give no opps hope
I just gave my dawg a Rollie, told him take the clock approach

Peanut butter seats came perfect time
Rich but I'm still ducking one time
I seen the light, then I climbed in
Had to take 'em out, we ain't gon' dine in
Shawty done fell in love with all my diamonds
But everybody change on you like the seasons




Sippin' 1942, Don Julio
I ain't got time for all these eyes and these groupie hoes

Overall Meaning

In Roddy Ricch's song "Perfect Time," the lyrics discuss his rise to success and how he had to make certain choices and sacrifices to maintain it. The opening line of "peanut butter seats came perfect time" can be interpreted as a metaphor for how everything has fallen into place for the artist, with the "peanut butter seats" representing luxury and success, and "perfect time" suggesting that it all came at the right moment. Despite his success, he acknowledges that he is "still ducking one-time," referring to police, and that "everybody change on you like the seasons." This line implies that people's loyalty can be fickle, and they may not always stay true to who they were before success.


In the second verse, Roddy describes how after hours of late-night driving, he and his friend pour themselves shots (of 1942 Don Julio), indicating that despite the pressure of life as a successful artist and the looming threat of trouble, he still makes time for some fun. He also emphasizes his need to maintain his reputation and personal life by not letting anyone "smut [his] name" and making sure that his mother is financially secure. The chorus repeats, underscoring the idea that Roddy was able to achieve his success at the "perfect time," but that he remains aware of the need to be cautious and stay grounded.


Overall, "Perfect Time" contains themes of success, loyalty, personal responsibility, and the importance of timing in achieving one's goals. It is a track that celebrates Roddy's success, but does not shy away from the challenges that come with it.
