Roll With Me
Abs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's just one of those days when
Nothing wants to go alright.
So I slipped on a brand new shirt and stepped out into the night.
And as I rode down the road in my Benz,
See you standin' with a man,
You was chilling with my best friend.
Acting like he's all you need.
When last night you was tryin' to get it on with me.

-BRIDGE
You're making your moves on me, baby.
It's wrong but it feels so right.
You're trying to play with me, lady.
But it wont go down tonight...

-CHORUS
You wanna roll with me, roll with me...
Mess about.
You better keep it low before we get found out.
I wanna rock with you, rock with you...
All night.
Dance with your body until the morning light.
You wanna bounce with me, bounce with me...
Take it slow.
Don't wanna jeopardize, gotta let you know.
If you're leaving tonight, it will all be alright.

Girl, you keep it on a down low.
You keep on tellin' me nobody has to know.
But you don't wanna compromise,
Always keep a brother hooked with your bedroom eyes.
Gonna do what I can to keep it real
But inside what I feel, baby girl, what the deal now?
Even though I always lose,
Either way that I play but I gotta choose...

BRIDGE

Overall Meaning

Abs's song "Roll With Me" is a tale of temptation, indecision, and ultimately acceptance of what is. The singer in the song is having a bad day when he comes across a woman he has been intimate with. She's standing with another man, trying to act like she's content with him, yet she was trying to get it on with the singer just last night. This creates some unease and conflict for the singer because he knows he shouldn't succumb to her advances again as it's wrong, but it feels so right.


The lyrics and the delivery are thick with tension and uncertainty, reflecting how the singer is feeling. The chorus speaks to the singer's desire for the woman, to rock and roll the whole night, dance with her until morning light, and bounce with her, but he knows he can't jeopardize the situation. The intimate nature of the song is seen in the bridge where the woman is trying to play with the singer, but he decides it won't go down tonight.


As for the production of the song, it's an urban mix of funk, pop, jazz, and soul. The beat is infectious and complements the lyrics and Abs's voice perfectly.
