Drake kicks thing off on this track with a braggadocio verse, which finds him referencing the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), a US federal law that focuses on racketeering and punishes acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization. Drake worries that with his flashy lifestyle, the federal authorities might indict him under the RICO Act. Meek Mill spits the second verse in which he explains that he tries to keep himself in check since with his criminal record he thinks the authorities are still tracking him.
Meek and Drake previously teamed up on "Amen" the lead single from the Philadelphia rapper's debut album, Dreams & Nightmares.
According to Meek Mill, Drake doesn't write his own raps. He tweeted: "He ain't even write that verse on my album and if I woulda knew I woulda took it off my album..... I don't trick my fans! Lol." So how did Meek Mill find this out? He said: "When [Drake] said the dream girl s--t on 'R.I.C.O.' I thought he was coming at me. lol Then young bull played me the verse in his voice before my album came out. I was mad as s--t! Lol" 'Young bull' is Philly slang for a younger male.
