Rich Junkie Lyrics – YoungBoy Never Broke Again

Rich Junkie Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro mentions that the producers and collaborators involved in making the song are in their element, creating a vibe. “B Noise is in his bag” suggests he’s performing well, while “Killer going crazy” and “Simo Fre just killed it” are praising the contributions of other people involved. It sets the tone for the intense, energetic song.

[Chorus]
In the chorus, the artist talks about popping Xanax (“30 perc”) to cope with his lifestyle while keeping a firearm close by for protection (“.45 by the couch”). He identifies himself as the “murder man,” implying he’s not to be messed with. He is unapologetic about being a “rich junkie,” using drügs, and living dangerously. He brags about his power, saying no one can handle him or take the drügs he’s taking, emphasizing his strength and dominance. The chorus highlights his reckless behavior and his toughness, warning others that he isn’t playing around.

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the artist describes being with a friend (Three) in a car, preparing for action. He talks about driving carefully to avoid crashing while being ready to attack someone. The constant “bang bang” suggests shooting or violence, and he’s upset with people talking trash about him. He’s ready to retaliate and threatens to shoot someone in the face. He doesn’t care about other people’s cliques or reputations; he considers them weak. He even mentions performing rituals, implying he’s on a different level from others. The verse paints a picture of someone who’s always ready for conflict and will act violently if disrespected.

[Chorus]
The second chorus repeats the themes from the first chorus. He again talks about taking Xanax (“30 perc”) and keeping his weapon nearby for protection. He’s confident and ready for action, showing no fear. His lifestyle, which involves drügs and violence, is something he embraces. He emphasizes that others can’t handle the amount of drügs he takes and that they aren’t built like him, making it clear that he feels invincible and unstoppable in his world of danger.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, the artist talks about other people who pretend to drink or live like him but aren’t truly about that life. He calls them out for being fake, claiming that they’re lying about their lifestyle (“they ain’t drinking no red”). He confidently states that they’ll never match his wealth or success. The mention of the feds implies that his money is real and legal, not fake or fabricated. He tells them they’re not on his level and that they’re left behind while he continues to rise.

[Reprise]
The reprise is all about showing off wealth and dismissing others who aren’t making money the way he is. He talks about having big stacks of money (“big knots”), flaunting the fact that he’s rich. He mentions not showing off small amounts of cash (“little ass twenties”) and challenges others to step up their game. The mention of giving someone money (“Blacksheep twenty”) to “bust something” hints at paying someone to take action, possibly in defense or retaliation. It’s a boastful section that reinforces his superior status and power, both in wealth and readiness for conflict.

[Open Verse]
In the open verse, the artist calls out people who are pretending to be tough or threatening (“talking ’bout ‘Put it on the floor'”). He sees them as weak, saying they’re not about that life. The phrase “it’s already on head” means he’s already aware of their intentions, and they shouldn’t even try him. The mention of “4KTrey” is a reference to his crew or gang, which reinforces his loyalty and toughness, and he’s saying no one is safe from him or his group.

[Chorus]
The final chorus repeats the same ideas as earlier, emphasizing the artist’s dangerous lifestyle, his addiction to Xanax, and his readiness to use violence. He is confident in his power and warns anyone who challenges him that he’s not to be messed with. He’s proud of being a “rich junkie” and living on his terms, showing that his world revolves around his strength, his wealth, and his readiness to retaliate against any disrespect. The repetitive nature of the chorus reinforces his dominance and unshakable mindset.
