Rick Ross leaves no room for mercy on God Forgives, I Don't. Equally at home in his luxury Florida residence or hustling on the streets, Ross takes the signature Maybach Music style to new heights over the course of the album's 17 tracks. At times, the LP comes close to too heavily stressing the same ideas, but Rozay's knack for entertaining lyricism keeps recurrent themes sounding fresh on each track.

The album is littered with hyperbolic Biblical references, and Ross clearly holds himself in high regard, but his ego matches the output, and on God Forgives, I Don't, he maintains his status as one of rap's elite. Rap Genius listened to the album and picked 10 lines that drive the point home.

“I can tell you what a dope boy feels like/I can tell you that he never sleeps/He may smile, but it's never sweet” - Rick Ross
