Amsterdam
Ross Rick Lyrics

Maybach shit
Luxury and extravagance; riding in a Maybach car.

Cameras in the ceiling, Seline on my arm
Being surrounded by riches and surveillance while having a beautiful woman on my arm.

We get ghost, you already know what it is
Disappearing quickly with ease given the riches at our disposal.

Money stuffed in my bag
Carrying large sums of money for business deals or other purposes.

Bright lights and dark corners, it's night embark on us
Being in the midst of the city's lively nightlife while also having access to darker, dangerous areas.

Refugees running wild Wyclef with a Sig Sauer
Being known by dangerous individuals, here represented by Wyclef, who are ready to defend us.

Nothing to lose, I was starving from the start
Coming from a difficult background, having nothing to lose but everything to gain.

Now the same cat drive in Jaguars
Having elevated to a level of financial success that allows for luxuries like owning a Jaguar car.

Open fire when you see me yell out and make em whisper
Warning others to be cautious around me, as I have a reputation and the backing of dangerous individuals.

The club that I'm a member, they'll be gone by November
Belonging to exclusive clubs that are only for those with wealth and power, but quickly disappearing when the money dries up.

Keys to the city got killers who slither with me
Having access and control over the city through connections with dangerous individuals.

Lamborghini, middle of the ghetto, smoke a fat fifty
Being in the middle of a dangerous area while in a luxurious car and smoking marijuana.

Billionaire bid, wrists on chill
Making deals for billions of dollars while remaining composed and relaxed.

Standing in the field of dreams tryna see a hundred mil
Working hard to accumulate a hundred million dollars, a lofty financial goal.

These boys going blind they just happy being free
Others are content with a life of little financial success, but I strive for more.

In a world of so many I just wanted me a key
In a crowded world, I only desired one successful opportunity to rise to the top.

Sheesh! I just wanted me a piece
Expressing excitement over achieving some form of financial success.

Slice of cheesecake before my niggas all decease
Enjoying the rewards of success with friends before they pass away.

These boys snort lines I'm fine just sipping wine
Others turn to drugs for happiness, but indulging in the finer things like wine suffices for me.

Amsterdam in the air, tomorrow on my mind
Relishing in the present with Amsterdam's atmosphere while still planning for future success.

I'm Barry Gordy to the streets
Being a musical (and financial) giant in the streets, like Motown founder Berry Gordy.

With a kilo, so that boy had been a beast
Being a successful drug dealer back when it was dominant in my area.

I wanna be there when each one of my kids born
Being present for the birth of each of my children, despite my wealth and success.

Raw blood, hundred acres each to live on
Passing down generational wealth through owning large acres of land.

Real nigga to the day that I'm deceased
Remaining true to oneself and honest with others until death.

Even then I pray I'm living through these beats
Hoping to leave behind a powerful legacy through my music even after my death.

Dope boy, you can tell by my sneaks
Being immediately identifiable by one's footwear as a successful drug dealer.

Burning Amsterdam green where it falls like a leaf
Smoking high-quality Amsterdam cannabis to relax and enjoy my riches.

Born in the bricks with the short end of the stick
Being born into a difficult, impoverished environment.

Always running late, quick to show up with your bitch
Making others wait for me, but still arriving with a beautiful woman on my arm.

The Hublot's cool but my Terminator's foolish
Owning an expensive watch, but valuing my powerful firearm even more.

All stainless steel, quick to match it with my toolie
Having a firearm that matches the aesthetic of my style and personality.

Red carpet event, the marijuana be lit
Enjoying high-quality cannabis even during formal events.

Red or blue, do you, as long as you're getting rich
It doesn't matter what political affiliation one has, as long as they are still achieving financial success.

Crack game, champagne, kilos on the stock exchange
Dealing drugs while also investing in legitimate financial opportunities.

Rolls Royce, new Ghost, that's a nigga pocket change
Owning a luxury car that is still affordable given my level of wealth.

These niggas acting like they want a war!
Others are posturing and trying to challenge me, but it is only for show.

When it come to whacking niggas I done won awards
Having a reputation for violence and even receiving recognition for it.

Nigga, you a bitch, where yo' Honda Accord?
Insulting someone's lack of success and financial means.

I'm riding in some shit only I can afford
Owning a luxury vehicle that is financially unattainable for most people.

Shouldn't claim the hood til you build a report
Only being able to claim a certain area once you've earned respect and have made a name for yourself there.

Amsterdam state of mind, I just gave you a tour
Feeling like one is in Amsterdam and sharing that experience through their music and lyrics.

I'm laughing at the people who label me poor
Humorously acknowledging how far I've come from my impoverished beginnings despite others' perceptions of me.

Now I piss on Europeans, you'd think it was porn
Being able to exert dominance and wealth over others, including Europeans, through crude jokes and actions.

I'm speaking on unwritten laws the code of the streets
Sharing knowledge and wisdom regarding the unspoken rules and secrets of living in the city's streets.

I'm not the type of nigga that you bump into
Having a reputation and presence that demand others' respect and caution around me.

At a 7-11 and just pull your pistol on him
Being the type of person who cannot simply be intimidated or hurt by others, even in seemingly safe places.

And do what the fuck you want to do
Being in control of one's actions and not letting others dictate their behavior or priorities.

Niggas like me, you gotta get permission homie!
Warning others that there are dangerous individuals who have my back, and that actions against me must be thought through carefully.

And that could take a long time!
Emphasizing that getting permission to harm or challenge me is not an easy feat.

In that time, I'mma handle my muthafuckin business
Using any time that others may need to prepare to further my own success and dominance in my environment.

It's the red light district, nigga this Amsterdam
Being in a dangerous area in the city and indulging in the pleasures that Amsterdam's red light district has to offer.

Wherever the fuck I'm at
Being unapologetically present and successful anywhere.

It's a no go
Being so successful that others dare not challenge or cross me.

We green light you bitch niggas
Being dominant over others and allowing others to exist only due to my permission.
