Just Because
Roddy Ricch's Paper Chase: Unveiling the Hustle and Triumph
Lyrics
Countin' all this pape', I ain't never think I lost
Reflecting on financial success, never anticipated setbacks
Ridin' inerstates, thinkin' about my way to boss up
Contemplating progress while traveling on highways to success
If a nigga say he want the smoke, we got the sparkers
Ready for conflict if someone desires it, armed and prepared
I ain't gotta pay 'em, they gon' do it just because
Others willingly take action without payment, perhaps due to loyalty or respect
We started off robbers, now we certified ballers
Transitioned from criminal activities to being officially successful
I be on my ball hog shit
Selfish behavior, focusing on personal success
Had to go the humble route, they thought I lost it
Chose a modest approach, and others doubted his capabilities
Never make a U-turn on me, double what it's costin'
Emphasizing the cost of betrayal and warning against turning back
Runnin' with some Cs, I know some B hats, like Boston
Associating with certain gang affiliations (Cs and Bs), referencing Boston
Had to get some tough skin, you'll never make it with soft skin
Developed resilience, acknowledging the need for toughness
Eyes on my wrist, lied to the judge, I can't lie to my bitch, ayy
Contrasting honesty with the legal system and personal relationships
Got a taste of money and I run it up ever since
Successful after gaining financial experience, continuously improving
Runnin' with the congress, we know all the dead presidents
Associating with influential figures who understand monetary systems
All I know is Roddy take the lead and they gon' follow
Leading by example, expecting followers
All I know is if you cross, you get a hollow, woah, woah
Consequences for betrayal, using "hollow" as a metaphor for bullets
Countin' all this pape', I ain't never think I lost
Reiteration of success and not underestimating one's achievements
Ridin' inerstates, thinkin' about my way to boss up
Thinking about ways to enhance success while on the move
If a nigga say he want the smoke, we got the sparkers
Ready for conflict, armed with the necessary tools
I ain't gotta pay 'em, they gon' do it just because
Others taking action without expecting payment, emphasizing loyalty
I ain't gotta pay 'em, they gon' do it just because, uh
Repetition of the idea that actions are taken without payment
I ain't gotta pay 'em, they gon' do it just be-
Continuation of the concept that actions are taken without expecting payment
Know he got a frost wrist, uh
Acknowledging someone's expensive jewelry
Climbin' out the holes, but I do this shit so effortless
Effortlessly overcoming challenges and obstacles
Hustle just to live
Working hard to survive
Spented fifty bands on the whole squad, shoppin' at Phipps
Generously spending money on the entire team
And they know I got 'em, but they better never have loose lips
Trusting others but expecting discretion
All this water on me, lookin' like a motherfuckin' cruise ship
Wearing expensive jewelry that resembles a cruise ship
Got Glizzy's on Glizzy's, never go nowhere without the hip, ayy
Armed and cautious, always carrying firearms
Got ten million out the oven, like a chocolate chip
Significant financial success, comparing money to a chocolate chip
Got QPs 'cause real P's never cop a zip
Purchasing in larger quantities, avoiding smaller amounts
My whip a spaceship, I'm so comfortable in my cockpit
Comfortable and in control of the situation
Countin' all this pape', I ain't never think I lost
Reiteration of financial success and resilience
Ridin' inerstates, thinkin' about my way to boss up
Thinking about strategies to enhance success while on the move
If a nigga say he want the smoke, we got the sparkers
Prepared for conflict, armed with the necessary tools
I ain't gotta pay 'em, they gon' do it just because
Others taking action without expecting payment, emphasizing loyalty
I ain't gotta pay 'em, they gon' do it just because, uh
Repetition of the idea that actions are taken without payment
I ain't gotta pay 'em, they gon' do it just be-
Continuation of the concept that actions are taken without expecting payment
