LOTTO
Rotimi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why call Lil Keke when I can come through to visit
It wont be long 'fore a nigga get to know you right
Show you right, couple hot spots we can go to tonight
The lyrics of "Lotto" by Rotimi speak of the singer's lottery win and newfound wealth. The words "Jackpot, got the right 7 digits" straightaway establish the theme of the song- hoping to win big in the lottery, and finally doing so, after which Rotimi's character has the freedom to live it up. He boasts of having the money and status to do whatever he wants, such as choose who he wants to be with instead of having to call Lil Keke, a rapper.
The next line, "It won't be long 'fore a nigga gets to know you right" has two possible interpretations- it could be indicative of the wealth and attention the rapper is bound to receive now, with people wanting to get to know him now that he has made it big, or it could be a reference to him now having the money to get to know someone he's interested in by taking them out to fancy spots in the city. The rest of the lyrics work to solidify this second inference, with Rotimi mentioning wanting to show someone the right way to do things and planning to take them to hot spots at night, all while flaunting his newfound wealth.
