Ross Rick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Kilo at the telly, bitch it's Makiaveli
Double M empire, I know these niggas fear me
I'm already rich, I'm tired of bein' famous
I done fucked all these bitches, I can't even name 'em
But if the bitch is bad, bring 'er, yellow stone on my finger
Mink coat, mine cheetah, before I fuck I'm gon' eat her
All I talk is that cash, Versace all in my bag
Dope all in my vein, hoes hollin' my name
White T still pimpin', Lenox Mall in a Bentley
He a fuckboy, that's simple, I ain't into what he into
Hoes wave to my window, keep a pile of that endo
I always got bond money, you don't know what I've been through
Carol City niggas, still 187
Lil' Haiti niggas, still 211
Open lockin' niggas, still got them quarters (oh yeah)
Overtime niggas (billionaire), still movin' water

Let me show you how to get right, whip an ounce of that white
Fast forward to a brick, now you livin' that life
I can get you out of my hood, I'm a billionaire in my hood
Tryna buy a piece of the Dolphins, five percent of them good
Huh, now I think I'm Don Shula
Pull up with 20 bitches on the hundred footer
All white me gusta, oh hallelujah
Oh hallelujah, oh I maneuver
Memphis niggas, still get it right (Tennessee)
Mississippi niggas still get it right (Las Vegas)
Florida boys, know we gonna get it right (fuckboys)
Alabama hustlers, you gon' get it right (Alabama)

I went and bought your bitch a washer and a dryer
Seen it in your son's face, I'm who he admires
Rules of the game, jack of all trades
Icy on the court at the basketball games
Nigga, tell your pops I got a million dollar watch
All you fake watch bustas, I'm the one to watch
Rolls Royce fake and my two yachts fake
30 Franchises, show you what this pot make
Make the most in the Ghost, fuck Huffington Post
Young brother Rolls, Belaire Rose, I'm makin' a toast
At the Heat game, talkin' all cash
Still tweetin' while ya'll eatin' out of our trash

Chi-town niggas, we gon' get it right (Detroit)
New York niggas, time to get it right (Jersey waddap)
Philly niggas, know we gon' get it right
Dreamchasers niggas, we gon' get it right
Shoot and run nigga, we gon' get it right
305 Niggas, we gon' get it right
20 For the bird, better get it right
Got a bag of money, nigga get it right
If you owe me somethin', better get it right
Hood billionaire, time to get it right
Hundred million nigga 'til I get it right
Hundred million nigga 'til I get it right (hundred billionaire)
(Hundred billionaire)
(See the world my way)

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Rick Ross's song Billionaire, the rapper starts by boasting about his wealth and power, referencing the legendary Italian philosopher and writer Niccolò Machiavelli. He then goes on to describe his flashy lifestyle: he has a diamond ring on his finger, wears mink coats and cheetah print, and regularly has women throwing themselves at him. Ross reminds his listeners that all he talks about is money and success, and he has no time for those who can't keep up with him. He then name-drops some of the rough neighborhoods his crew comes from, such as Carol City and Lil' Haiti, but states that they are still making moves and "movin' water." The chorus repeatedly asserts that Ross is a "hood billionaire" and that everyone needs to "get it right" if they want to keep up with him.


In the second verse, Ross takes on the role of a mentor, offering to teach others how to get rich like he did. He claims he can take someone from selling small amounts of drugs to owning a mansion and living the high life. He also mentions his desire to buy a stake in the Miami Dolphins football team, flaunting his wealth and power even more. Ross then name-drops several more locations across the US and emphasizes that he and his crew are making moves everywhere. He also taunts his detractors, claiming that his wealth and fame make him the one to watch, and that he will continue to be successful while others flounder.


Overall, the song Billionaire is a typical example of the braggadocio and showmanship that have made Rick Ross one of the most successful rappers of the last decade. The lyrics are all about wealth, success, and power, and Ross emphasizes his own dominance over others. However, the song also has a sense of camaraderie and loyalty, as Ross shows respect for his fellow rappers and the neighborhoods that they come from. Ultimately, the point of the song is that Ross is on top and everyone else needs to catch up if they want to be like him.
