Real Talk
Roddy Ricch Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Mustard on the beat, ho)

Real talk, let's get straight to it
I got diamonds in the face
(Diamonds in face, diamonds in the face, diamonds in the face)
Know these niggas don't walk how we walk
They don't talk how we talk, we got millions of straps
I grew up with the trillest niggas, tryin' not to stay with the fakes
Ayy, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang, hey
Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang
I got the gang, gang, gang

Hoppin' out the Bentley Mulsanne
Eliantte chain swang
I can make a bitch mood change
Got it in my pocket, loose change
I came from the bottom, I came from the mud, I came from the street
Always road runnin' some time we ain't even sleep
And I pray my niggas watchin' over me

We stand for the streets, what it's supposed to be
I lost a lot of people that was close to me
Grab the dope out the car like it's grocery

She say, "Roddy, sing to me like Jodeci"
Put my dick on her neck like a Rosary
I got control of me (these niggas don't know)

Real talk, let's get straight to it
I got diamonds in the face
(Diamonds in face, diamonds in the face, diamonds in the face)
Know these niggas don't walk how we walk
They don't talk how we talk, we got millions of straps
I grew up with the trillest niggas, tryin' not to stay with the fakes
Ayy, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang, hey
Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang
I got the gang, gang, gang (yeah)

A quarter to sit, I black out the whips, I hold up a fist
I'm big as it get, colossal as shit, enormous as a bitch
Know that these niggas don't like me
I know that these niggas don't like me
Nigga, I been in the field, been totin' my glizzy, doin' high knees

Mafia, mafia
Millionaires, only in the blue faces we trust
I told shorty mind her business
'Cause I came straight up out the Guinness
Spent a hundred thousand at the dentist
We ain't Venus, Serena, my dawg out the court
I put that nigga right in a tennis

Who you know designer down, fresh white tee?
New Hellcat, I was a fresh '19
How a nigga felt rich without two Cs?
Ain't nobody out-vibin' me
The number one, but I ain't try to be
I told that bitch it ain't no lyin' to me
You can play yourself, but ain't no tryin' with me

Real talk, let's get straight to it
I got diamonds in the face
Yeah, yeah (diamonds in face, diamonds in the face, diamonds in the face)
Know these niggas don't walk how we walk
They don't talk how we talk, we got millions of straps
I grew up with the trillest niggas, tryin' not to stay with the fakes
I got gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang (gang, gang, gang)
Gang, gang, gang, gang
Gang, gang, gang, gang, hey
Gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang, gang (chyeah, yeah, yeah)




Gang, gang, gang
I got the gang, gang, gang

Overall Meaning

Roddy Ricch’s song “Real Talk” talks about his journey to success and how he remains true to himself even as he gains wealth and fame. In the opening line, he’s straightforward as he declares that he has diamonds on his face, indicating his newfound wealth. He feels that he’s on top of the world because he’s worked hard for his success. He tells his listeners that he hangs out with the realest people who are always strapped and ready to handle any situation. With the gang mentality of his "homies," he's able to intimidate anyone who dares to cross their path.


He talks about how he's come a long way from his humble beginnings in the street. He's lost people close to him and can't help but keep them in mind. He uses a reference to sing to him like Jodeci but wants to control whatever they sing. He's proud of how far he's come and asserts his power and wealth by bragging about paying a hundred thousand dollars on his teeth.


The chorus is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the message that suceeding in this industry means being a gangster. Roddy reaffirms that he has the gang mentality and reminds us that there are people who aren't as real as his gang.
