Hold on to your hats as Mycul takes you for a spin through his Upper Manhattan neighborhood via rollerblades and his new Lamborghini!
Behind the song
“Rich Enough” was about a mentality I had at the time: I had already become financially successful, but it still didn’t feel like enough. Every time I reached another level, the finish line moved. That’s the contradiction behind the hook—I could say I was rich while genuinely believing I wasn’t rich enough.
The verses also gave me a chance to show what I could do technically as a rapper. I’m talking about changing flows, rhyme patterns and timing while actually doing those things in the record. The waterfall, insane-asylum and other imagery were ways of playing with words while showing how differently my mind worked creatively.
But underneath the punchlines and confidence was something real. I was constantly working, finding different ways to make money, running businesses and advertising, and barely wanting to stop long enough to sleep. Success didn’t make me comfortable. It made me want more.
That’s really what “Rich Enough” captured: I had achieved enough to recognize that I was successful, but I hadn’t learned how to feel like anything was enough.
Story chapters
Lyrics & wordplay
I said I told myself to do a different flow today
Instead I showed myself how cool it is to roller skate
Every word I spell for you is to make sure the hate
Keeping growing well past the human rate and to ensure my fate
I was broke as hell with demons on my shoulder blades
I was born in hell even though I overcame
Now I show and tell cuz these niggas deserve the pain
Overwhelmed nah, keep it real I'm overpaid
No debate you can hate but there's no escape
Locked and loaded choppa pointed at the closest face
Know your place watch your mouth like you cloned your face
And I did the hokus pokus how I sold the the yay
And I still don't give a f*ck
Yea I'm rich, but I ain't rich enough
balling on budget bitch I bought a bigger truck
I don't hit and miss
I just hit em up
I just hit em up
And I still don't give a f*ck
Yea I'm rich, but I ain't rich enough
You balling on budget bitch I bought a bigger truck
I don't hit and miss I just hit em up
Watch me hit em up and I still don't give a f*ck
Yea I'm rich, but I ain't rich enough
I said I think I'm bout to do different style tonight
Instead I figured out that music make my town ignite
Found my purpose I'm influenced the sounds I like
Now I got em nervous bout to move in like it's time to bite
How you like it know you do Ima psychic
Yea the flow is like a waterfall or pool you could dive in
Or insane asylum where in every room is me rhyming
Working on the timing now I stick and move like Muhammad
Making money lots of ways now my momma say
Slow down son and contemplate you just not the same
All you wanna is operate every night and day
Damn right all that I can say got no time to sleep
And I still don't give a f*ck
Yea I'm rich, but I ain't rich enough
balling on budget bitch I bought a bigger truck
I don't hit and miss
I just hit em up
I just hit em up
And I still don't give a f*ck
Yea I'm rich, but I ain't rich enough
You balling on budget bitch I bought a bigger truck
I don't hit and miss I just hit em up
Watch me hit em up and I still don't give a f*ck
Yea I'm rich, but I ain't rich enough
