I Want a Boy
Ronnie & The Relatives Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just get the bag I don't care what the cost is
All the bitches love my drip they say I'm flawless
I got to keep it humble even tho I'm balling
And I really mean it when I say I'm different
When I met you for the first time I knew you really with it
If you really want smoke then you know we get to spinning
Spending blue hunnids on anything I want
Got to do what you love cuz you only live once
I need my money now I don't wait for this shit
Me and my gang there we get it popping in this bitch
First step to freedom is you got to get rich
I don't give a fuck about the fame or none of this shit
You weren't there when I was all alone
But I was there when you would call my phone
You know its love when it feels like home
I don't want to but I have to go
You weren't there when I was all alone
But I was there when you would call my phone
You know its love when it feels like home
I don't want to but I have to go
I like my shit new I got to break it out the seal
I'm only talking millions or we don't got a deal
Caught him slipping up man I knew he wasn't real
Crossed so many times I don't know how to feel
Crossed so many times I don't know why you here
They ask me if I'm getting money, I say hell yeah
You crossed the line way before I don't go there
All the baddies coming out I got a show there
Got to do what you love cuz you only live once
I need my money now I don't wait for this shit
Me and my gang there we get it popping in this bitch
First step to freedom is you got to get rich
I just get the bag I don't care what the cost is
All the bitches love my drip they say I'm flawless
I got to keep it humble even tho I'm balling
And I really mean it when I say I'm different
When I met you for the first time I knew you really with it
If you really want smoke then you know we get to spinning
Spending blue hunnids on anything I want
Got to do what you love cuz you only live once
I need my money now I don't wait for this shit
Me and my gang there we get it popping in this bitch
First step to freedom is you got to get rich
I don't give a fuck about the fame or none of this shit
You weren't there when I was all alone
But I was there when you would call my phone
You know its love when it feels like home
I don't want to but I have to go
You weren't there when I was all alone
But I was there when you would call my phone




You know its love when it feels like home
I don't want to but I have to go

Line by Line Meaning

The best things in life are free
I don't care about free things, I want money


But you can keep them for the birds and bees
I don't want anything that's free, let the animals have them


Now give me money
I want money and I want it now


That's what I want
I'm not asking for anything else, just money


You're lovin' gives me a thrill
I enjoy being with you, but that doesn't help me financially


But you're lovin' don't pay my bills
Love doesn't put food on the table or pay the rent


Money don't get everything it's true
I know that money isn't everything


What it don't get, I can't use
But if I don't have money, I can't survive


Wow, yeah, I wanna be free
I want the freedom that comes with having a lot of money


Oh I want money
I'm not shy about my desire for money


Now give me money
Again, I want money and I want it now


A lot of money
I want more money than I currently have


Wow, yeah, you need money
Everyone needs money to survive
