The song "Pound of Rice" by Zj Chrome & Vybz Kartel is a catchy dancehall track with lyrics that mix a variety of phrases together. The song starts with a man getting off a drive and complains about the speed that the driver was moving. The singer then stops at a bar and orders a Shrups and a floss, which is a popular Jamaican drink. He insists on a sanitary cup, as he doesn't trust glass. The singer mentions that many women are passing by and calling him the "world boss" and expresses how sick his style is. He also mentions his attire, which includes Lui V T's and Levis shorts.
The lyrics progress to a person getting a ride in a S class and wanting to go to the "gaza," a reference to the Gaza Empire, which is a group that Vybz Kartel created. The lyrics mention meeting with a person named Yanique and calling Blinger to pick him up. They are on the way to Boston to hang out and party. The singer mentions how many people are out and about in Boston, and there's a party where everyone has a red cup in their hand. The song ends by reiterating the singer's love for rice, chicken back, and dumpling.
