Lyrics
Yo, what you tellin'?
Expression of inquiry, asking what information is being conveyed.
I need to tell y'all something what's that?
Expresses a desire to share something.
I wanna be just like Riff Raff
Desire to emulate or be similar to the rapper Riff Raff.
When I grow up
Expressing a wish to imitate Riff Raff in the future.
I wanna be just like Riff Raff, uh huh
Reiteration of the aspiration to be like Riff Raff upon growing up.
When I grow up
Reaffirmation of the desire to emulate Riff Raff in the future.
I wanna be just like Riff Raff, uh huh
Repeated desire to mimic Riff Raff as one matures.
When I grow up
Continued expression of the aspiration to be like Riff Raff.
I wanna be just like Riff Raff, I'm serious
Stressing a serious intent to emulate Riff Raff upon growing up.
When I grow up
Reiteration of the wish to be like Riff Raff in the future.
I wanna be just like Riff Raff, yeah!
Confirming the desire to imitate Riff Raff when grown.
Kid, you don't wanna be like me
Riff Raff advises the kid against wanting to be like him.
Steady duckin' these fuckin' laws
Describes avoiding law enforcement and concealing drugs.
Hiding dope up in your draws
Keeping illegal substances hidden in one's clothing.
Everybody chasin' you round the mall
Being pursued or followed by people, possibly authorities.
Talking about they wish you the best
People claiming to wish the best for the individual.
But stab in the back real slow
However, those same people betray or deceive slowly.
Talking about "you don't wreck no more"
Accusations that one doesn't cause trouble anymore.
Talking about "you done fucked this hoe"
Allegations of being involved with someone intimately.
Showing you love in the club
Receiving affection in social settings like clubs.
But in the real world that don't mean shit
But in reality, such affection holds no value.
Tell you the truth
Being honest about the situation.
You'd be better off moving bricks
Suggesting that dealing drugs would be more profitable.
That ain't how I play, look for better days
Rejecting that method and seeking a better future.
Trying to decide whether to ride blue or grey
Contemplating between affiliations or gangs.
Watch where you stay, watch what you say
Advising caution about residence and speech.
Unknown phone call, I seen you crawlin' MLK
Observing suspicious behavior on a street named MLK.
Sellin' big cars, no more handlebars
Transitioning to selling expensive cars instead of bicycles.
Them things is too cheap
Small vehicles are not lucrative enough.
I make more money in my sleep
Generating substantial income effortlessly.
Never been weak, knock boys off they feet
Asserting strength, possibly physically or metaphorically.
They see me with AD
Being seen with someone named AD, possibly influential.
Negotiating on lucky streak
Negotiating successfully, experiencing a fortunate period.
They talking bout this
People discussing various topics.
They talking bout that
More conversations and discussions.
They talking bout "can I wreck
Asking if they can collaborate musically with Riff Raff.
Tracks with Riff Raff?" they talking bout
Continued interest in collaborating with Riff Raff.
When I grow up
Reiteration of the desire to be like Riff Raff upon growing up.
I wanna be just like Riff Raff, okay
Expressing the wish to imitate Riff Raff in the future.
When I grow up
Reaffirmation of the aspiration to emulate Riff Raff.
I wanna be just like Riff Raff, that's right
Confirming the desire to imitate Riff Raff when grown.
