Rick Ross Lyrics – Tede

Rick Ross Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Tede kicks things off by saying this is the beginning of a new journey—his latest chapter in 2025. He’s not just dropping another album; he’s putting his whole life into this project. It’s real, it’s personal, and it’s straight from the heart. He mentions NWJ and WWA, representing his crew and city, and sets the tone by saying, “Let’s go,” like he’s inviting listeners into his world.

[Verse 1]
He opens up about how he let his parents down, even if they never said it out loud. Still, he knows they’ll support him till the end. He admits drügs got him into serious trouble, but he doesn’t care much for what people think anymore. He remembers a specific morning that changed everything—police at the door, a search warrant, and ending up in handcuffs. That moment hit hard, like his whole world flipped. These days, news spreads fast online, and people are quick to jump on someone else’s downfall. Nobody cares about the past, only about what’s happening now. He’s aware that some people try to use his struggles for their own gain, treating his personal mess like entertainment just because he’s a rapper.

[Chorus]
He says he doesn’t really see himself as an artist, even though people think he is. He just makes rap, and somehow it shaped his whole life. It’s like rap chose him, not the other way around. His whole world revolves around music, and he’s still figuring things out. No matter who’s writing the script of his life, he’s sticking to his truth—he was never a fake like Rick Ross supposedly was.

[Verse 2]
Life hit him hard, like a punch straight to the face. The mistakes he made still follow him, even today. No one else really suffered because of what he did, so he knows the blame is all on him, and he’s come to terms with it. He believes you’ve got to take what life teaches you and know when to walk away from things that no longer serve you. He also speaks on betrayal—someone stole from him, and he’s angry at both them and himself for letting it happen. But he believes life eventually gets back at people who do others wrong. He talks about giving everything he had, making bold moves without overthinking. When people ask how many albums he’s released, he can’t give an exact number but knows it’s a lot. Now, people are paying attention to his work again, trying to challenge him, but he feels like he’s in control, owning more than ever. And still, even with all he’s done, he doesn’t label himself an artist. Yet this album is number 66 for him.

[Chorus]
Again, he repeats that he doesn’t call himself an artist, even if others do. He just creates rap, and somehow that became his whole reality. Music is everything to him—it’s how he sees the world and expresses himself. He doesn’t know who’s really in charge of how things turn out, but he knows one thing for sure: he’s not pretending to be someone he’s not, like Rick Ross supposedly did.
