The track was "inspired by a desire to bring an afro-beat influence into a rap beat," says Lucille. "The lyrics are a sort of modern tale between a man and a woman, and they speak about what each can expect and give to each other. 'Rice N' Beans' is a metaphor for the essential – the nutrients, the basic needs in a relationship." Trumpet and saxophone players Ernesto Sanchez and Sam McStuff, both jazzmen heavily influenced by afro-beat, are perfect added ingredients to Fablive's low-down, dirty, and funky vibe, while Guilty Simpson's gruff vocals fill out the track, complementing Lucille's sultry sassiness. "I'm giving you all that class, you asking me more for much," she sings. "I'm giving you Rice 'N' Beans/ Your honey, your loving, and all those things."
