Roddy Ricch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I might pour a five or a deuce, ay
Might pour five or a deuce, yeah
She said she wanna ride in a coupe, ay
Listen, baby, I play my moves with you maybe
Listen, baby, you know how I'm livin', baby
Young nigga trappin' off the iPhone
Black bands, I forgot to turn the lights on
Me and my niggas rollin' in the eight-six
On some player shit, but yeah, I keep that TEC, bitch
I want a hundred bands on a necklace
So I get a hundred bands on my necklace
20K on Instagram so, bitch, you think you poppin'?
Chase a bag, won't chase a bitch, 'cause broke shit ain't a option
I was kickin' in doors, I was really flockin'
Know some niggas down bad, know some niggas locked in
That's why I keep that double cup poured up
That Rollie on my wrist, you know it's frozed up
She want a rich nigga, so she chose us
See LA 250 how I roll up
She said she wanna ride in a coupe
So I might pour a five or a deuce, ay
Might pour five or a deuce, yeah
She said she wanna ride in a coupe, ay
Listen, baby, I play my moves with you maybe
Listen, baby, you know how I'm livin', baby
Young nigga trappin' off the iPhone
Black bands, I forgot to turn the lights on
My Cuban Diddy Boppin'
My Rollie Milly Rockin'
It's Ace bottles, if I got it then my niggas got it
And we was down bad, now my niggas really shoppin'
We cop Birk' bags, 'Lenciaga, Cargan dollars
That bitch gon' fuck with niggas 'cause she know I'm ballin'
She hit my iPhone, told that bitch stop callin'
I clicked on her, told the money, "Bitch, I'm all in"
You couldn't dig me, if you did then you would fall in
She said she wanna ride in a coupe
So I might pour a five or a deuce, ay
Might pour five or a deuce, yeah
She said she wanna ride in a coupe, ay
Listen, baby, I play my moves with you maybe
Listen, baby, you know how I'm livin', baby
Young nigga trappin' off the iPhone

In "Position," Roddy Ricch talks about his lifestyle as a young successful rapper, followed by a girl who wants to ride with him in his coupe. He mentions how he often pours a five or a deuce, referring to the measurement of liquids poured into cups, such as cough syrup mixed with soda or juice that is often used as a recreational drug. He also mentions how he keeps a TEC (short for TEC-9, a brand of semi-automatic handgun) with him for protection, while he and his friends ride around like players in an '86 vehicle. He has a desire for a hundred thousand dollar necklace which he eventually obtains.
Roddy Ricch states he was once struggling financially, but now he and his friends can afford luxurious items like Birkin bags, Balenciaga, and high-end cars. He mentions how he doesn't chase after women but instead focuses on his career and making money. He reminds listeners that he was once living a life of crime, breaking into homes, but has since switched his focus to the music industry.
One interesting point about the song is that it was released on Roddy Ricch's debut mixtape 'Feed tha Streets II', which was positively received by critics and led to him getting signed to Atlantic Records. Additionally, Roddy Ricch's distinctive voice and delivery are praised as they perfectly match the beat, which features a catchy electronic piano riff. Moreover, during the chorus, Roddy Ricch repeats the phrase "listen, baby" which has become a popular catchphrase among fans.
Furthermore, "Position" has been played in TikTok videos, which has helped to boost its popularity. The chorus has been the subject of a popular meme where people comment "she said she wanna ride in a coupe" with an unrelated and funny response. It has been parodied by other creators, further adding to its memetic growth.
The song was produced by ATL Jacob who has produced tracks for YFN Lucci, Lil Durk, and YoungBoy NBA among others. Interestingly, the writer of the song is unknown, and many fans have speculated that Roddy Ricch himself wrote it. Another fact is that the song features lyrics related to drug use and firearms, which are common themes found in trap rap.
Finally, the guitar chords for the song are B minor, G, F#. (Capo 2).
