Pour It Up

Throw it up, throw it up (throw up)
Watch it all fall out (fall out)
Pour it up, pour it up (pour up)
That's how we ball out (ball out)
Throw it up, throw it up (throw up)
Watch it all fall out (fall out)
Pour it up, pour it up (pour up)
That's how we ball out

Strip club and dollar bills
I still got more money
Patron shots, can I get a refill?
I still got more money
Strippers goin' up and down that pole
And I still got more money
Four o'clock and we ain't going home
'Cause I still got more money
Money make the world go 'round
I still got more money
Bands make your girl go down
And I still got more money
Lot more where that came from
I still got more money
The look in your eyes, I know you want some
I still got more money

Oh
All I see is signs
All I see is dollar signs
Oh

Money on my mind
Money, money on my mind
Throw it, throw it up
Watch it fall off from the sky

Throw it up, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
Throw it up, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out

Valet cost a hundred bills
I still got more money
Gold all up in my grill
I still got more money
Who cares how you haters feel
And I still got more money
Call Jay up and close the deal
'Cause I still got more money
My fragrance on and they love my smell
I still got more money
So who cares about what I spend
I still got more money
My pocket's deep, and they never end
I still got more money
I'm going dumb with all my friends
I still got more money

Oh
All I see is signs
All I see is dollar signs
Oh

Money on my mind
Money, money on my mind
Throw it, throw it up
Watch it fall off from the sky

Throw it up, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
Throw it up, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out
That's how we ball out

Ostentação e Poder: A Análise de Pour It Up de Rihanna

A música Pour It Up de Rihanna é um hino de celebração à riqueza e ao estilo de vida luxuoso. Lançada em 2012 como parte do álbum 'Unapologetic', a canção reflete uma fase da carreira da artista em que ela se consolida como um ícone pop e uma mulher de negócios bem-sucedida. A letra da música é repleta de referências à ostentação, ao consumo desenfreado e à independência financeira, elementos que são frequentemente associados ao gênero hip-hop e R&B, nos quais Rihanna tem raízes profundas.

O refrão 'Throw it up, throw it up / Watch it all fall out / Pour it up, pour it up / That's how we ball out' é um convite para jogar dinheiro para o alto e gastá-lo sem preocupações, simbolizando a capacidade de desfrutar dos frutos do próprio trabalho sem restrições. A repetição da frase 'I still got my money' reforça a ideia de que, independentemente dos gastos extravagantes, Rihanna mantém sua riqueza e poder econômico. A música também faz alusão a clubes de strip e a bebidas caras, elementos comuns na cultura de ostentação.

Além disso, a canção apresenta uma Rihanna confiante e no controle de sua vida e finanças, uma postura que desafia as expectativas tradicionais de comportamento feminino. A menção a 'Call Jay up and close a deal' pode ser interpretada como uma referência ao rapper Jay-Z, que foi mentor de Rihanna e é conhecido por ser um empresário astuto. Pour It Up não apenas celebra a riqueza, mas também a autonomia e o poder que vêm com o sucesso financeiro, especialmente para uma mulher na indústria da música.

Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
Throw it up, throw it up
Watch it all fall out
Pour it up, pour it up
That's how we ball out
