Stone Rollin'
Raphael Saadiq Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fat lady shakin', backbone breakin' come on
(This girl of mine)
Everything she's got is movin' and hot, come on
(This girl of mine)
I was just a friend but she took me in, just come on
(This girl of mine)
Everything was right I felt like the light said come on
(This girl of mine)

You make a blind man walk away from home
You say your girlfriend you wanna be alone
It makes an old man throw away his cane
Girl what yo booty doing, I just can't explain

Listen,
You don't call her fat but that girl is stacked eh' come on
(She's got my mind)
Everything is wide and she walk with much pride come on
(She's got my mind)
Top chef and cook with grandmas looks now come on
(She's got my mind)
There was no way to compare
Nothing I could see
All I saw was a woman
(She's got my mind)
Walking up to me

Booty woman you turn me a loose
(turn me loose)
I need to go home, I cant stand your moves
(I cant stand your moves)
Just see your high heels are killing me
(are killing me)
It's like the valentine are shaking me
(are shaking me, oh yeah)

I'm your lover man and I won't let go
(and I wont let go)
I wanna stay with you, you can lock the door
(you can lock the door)
Move your soul back to me
(back to me)
I'm gonna squeeze it darling endlessly
(endlessly)

Booty woman you turn me loose
(yes turn me loose)
I need to go home, I cant stand your moves
(I cant stand your moves)
Just see your high heels are killing me
(are killing me)
It's like a valentine keeps shaking me (oh yeah)

Overall Meaning

In "Stone Rollin" by Raphael Saadiq, the song opens with a description of a woman who is confidently and unapologetically shaking her body, with her backbone bending under the weight of her moves. The singer is in awe of her, describing everything she's got as hot and moving. He admits that he was just her friend, but she swept him off his feet, and he felt like he was illuminated from within when she was around.


The lyrics pivot to describe how the power of the woman's booty is so magnetic and entrancing, people can't help but be drawn to it. It's so irresistible that it can make a blind man abandon his cane and an old man forget his age. The lyrics continue to emphasize the woman's curvaceous features, without ever apologizing for or denigrating them. The singer seems to be reveling in the power of female sexuality and sensuality, and the song is an anthem to the female form.


Overall, "Stone Rollin" is a celebration of women, their beauty, and their bodies, without any of the usual objectification or shaming that often comes with songs about women's bodies. With its upbeat rhythm and catchy lyrics, the song is a fun, feel-good testament to the power of femininity.

I just cant believe that this man has only won 1 Grammy for all of the great music that he has made.

GaussElim

I love a heavy bass. This guy knows exactly how to infuse just the right amount of funk into his music. What a talent!

moonwork

I love the sound of the bass line too. Great song.

MissHilPaige

This sound, this groove, is ageless. So good. This whole album is amazing.

Peggy Vertin

I love this song too. Great musicians Raphael Saadiq makes these videos with that I might never discover otherwise. I enjoyed the video behind the making of the “Stone Rollin” video too (the black/white original. video). I also enjoy watching Raphael play lead and bass guitar besides his fabulous voice. Checking this one out for the first time.

I remember when I first heard this song it was just released. I was reading a book in Barnes & Noble and I was like “GOTDAMN!!” 🙌🏾

Adam B. Smith

@Miri IAintSayin Yeah, he went on this, it’s deeper than soul. It’s just raw and gritty! Raphael Saadiq is a GOAT!

Sam Blonde

Saadiq's vibe on near every track I have heard for over 15yrs is just chilled, funky, cool and a total win for music so it's a total crime that he is not more recognised for it.

Joe Jones

Raphael Saadiq is so talented and versatile...He can sang or do anything with music...Love it love it...

bluesbaby8

This song is such a classic!
