Maybach Music Group member Meek Mill is a real gangsta

The competition are actors like their in a movie, but Rick Ross pictures big things for his crew like the studio Paramount Pictures.

Jeezy’s Trap or Die mixtape series with DJ Drama built the buzz that led to his million dollar deal with Def Jam.

Generally when rappers talk about dead presidents they’re referring to money, which obviously has dead presidents on it (and Alexander Hamilton, but that’s a technicality). So here, Rick Ross is claiming to have a lot of money on him

But he loves money so much he actually has tattoo portraits of dead presidents on his body. See Washington and Lincoln below:

Rick Ross implies that – just like a Miami Dolphin player – (a so-so NFL team) you only go to work to get a paycheck – a boring 9-to-5 job with limited financial upside if you will.

Ross is making so much money that an average NFL player making half-a-mil/year (top 1% earners in the US) is poor compared to him.

He’s could also be talking about Dolphin Cash payday loans. Either way you’re not cut out for a life of crime.

Drake is letting his boss know he doesn’t care if he’s exceeding his album budget, because a more quality product will ultimately garner him more profit.

On January 26, 2020, at the Universal Grammy afterparty, Lucian was asked about this line to which he replied:

Whenever Drake calls up and says he needs more money for his project, I give it to him…because he’s the greatest.

This plays homage to the King of R&B R. Kelly’s classic hit, “Your Body’s Calling:”
