I wanted re-introduce the art form by making an album that included many different variations of stories and rap styles.
And to turn it into rap wasn't too difficult besides just rhymin' the last words of each line.
Next thing you know, the hoe starts to ill, She says "I love you, Harold" and your name is Will!
Wassup dear? Sup babe? What street you by? On 5th Bout to hit the West Side High
And when I smiled, 'Bing!' I almost blinded her. She said, 'Great Scot, are you a thief? Seems like you have a mouth full of gold teeth!' Hahahaha, had to find that funny, So I said, 'No child, I work hard for the money. And calling me a thief? Please...don't even try it, Sit down, eat your slice of pizza, and be quiet.'
Now I'm not the type that gets upset, Try to disrespect folks just to earn respect. But learn this fact: whether white or black, I can't be conquered in my style of rap. For jealousy and envy are dumb ones' tools, So Ricky says nothing, he keeps his cool. Revenge is not a mission that the Ruler's on, Just forgiveness required for the wrong that's done.
Let me spell my name out for you, it's Ricky: R: Ravishing, I: Impress, C: Courageous or Careless, K: for the Kangols which I've got, That I wear everyday and Y: Why not?
I think the world has gotten nostalgic, ... Hip-hop is pushing 40, but the older generation is not being catered to at all. We're hoping that we can open up a market that can push for this older, mature hip-hop tip.
I've been taking it slow, enjoying every day, and everything good in my life.
Really, you can't blame these artists, today, for the music that has been produced.
I mean, I have my heartaches and stuff.
They weren't all pimps, but I'd see guys on the street who dressed really flashy. I remember seeing one guy who had a ruby in his mouth. Growing up, I just tried to blend their style with mine.
I wish I could see outta two eyes.
Take off your rubber and there's one more inside her, it's not yours, who can it be?
