Me and Marc Lyrics – Rio Da Yung OG

Me and Marc Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
In the intro, Rio Da Yung OG is addressing Marc Boomin, a well-known producer, and acknowledging their ongoing relationship. He says they’ve been working together for a while and that money isn’t everything, emphasizing that he’s still about the “ghetto boy” lifestyle. Rio is unapologetic about his lifestyle, letting listeners know that he’s back in action and living large, wearing expensive jewelry like a diamond chain and a pricey watch. He’s setting the tone for the song by mixing braggadocio with a bit of reflection on where he comes from.

[Verse]
In the verse, Rio Da Yung OG reflects on his transformation from being in prison to living a life of wealth and excess. He starts by mentioning how he went from being locked up (“sitting in the feds”) to now enjoying a luxurious ride in a Maybach, pouring lean (a drink mixed with codeine) into his cup. This is a common theme in his music, where he talks about the contrast between his past struggles and his present success. The reference to pouring lean and feeling it in his legs highlights the heavy use of substances, which is a recurring motif in the song.

Rio also discusses the violent and dangerous life he leads, talking about carrying weapons and being ready for confrontation. He mentions putting “a hundred” in someone’s car, implying he’s prepared to hurt someone if necessary. The mention of his “old man” teaching him to cook dope adds a sense of legacy to his story, showing that his involvement in street life has been passed down from previous generations. However, he mentions that he never sold small quantities of drügs (“never sold grams”), suggesting he was always about the big business.

Rio boasts about his power and influence in the rap game, saying if he walks off stage, the show ends, emphasizing his importance. He talks about making money in a relaxed, almost effortless way, saying he made a “dub” (ten thousand dollars) today “on some slow s*it.” This shows his confidence in his ability to make money and his belief that his success comes naturally. He also references being selective with his s*xual partners, indicating he only engages with certain women who meet his standards.

He mentions his son, implying that he might pass down his wealth or his “old kit” (perhaps referring to his old lifestyle or equipment). Rio’s confidence continues as he talks about a gun being taken from someone else, calling that person weak for letting it happen, and he then references a large weapon (“eighty-five in the drum”), reinforcing the violent nature of his world. The verse also includes numerous references to his lavish lifestyle, like his expensive jewelry, his love for drinking lean, and his ability to make large sums of money quickly.

He continues bragging about his wealth, mentioning his big check and spending it on his partner’s jewelry, emphasizing his financial dominance. The line about drinking lean with no ice and his ability to blow up on social media (“break the internet”) shows how he’s living for the moment, taking pride in his fame. He contrasts this success with the idea that others are obsessed with small amounts of money, claiming he made “four times” what others boast about in a short period.

Further bragging follows, including buying high-quality mar!juana (“bow of za”) and drinking lean in large quantities. He mocks other people’s behavior, calling out those who spend money on expensive watches that “tick,” implying they’re spending their money on superficial things that don’t really matter in the grand scheme of his life. Rio highlights the distrust he feels in his environment, referencing “Slime city,” a possible nod to his loyalty to his inner circle, where even brothers are expendable if trust is broken. He ends by reflecting on his wild lifestyle, referencing his past struggles (“R.I.P. Soda”) and acknowledging the damage he’s caused (“I done f*cked a lot of chicken up”), likely meaning he’s lost money or ruined relationships.

The verse ends on a dark, ironic note. Rio reflects on how he’s made a lot of money in a short time and is now living a life that many might envy, but at the same time, he feels like he’s “f*cked Christmas up,” which could mean he’s lost the innocence or joy of simpler times. The whole verse paints a picture of a man who has both a sense of power and chaos in his life, caught between wealth, street mentality, and the consequences of his actions.
