Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You ain't thuggin' if you ain't ridin' on chrome now
Get yo' shine on and chase yo' riches
You wanna roll raw, drop yo' Benz on twenty inches
I get that noise out these busters in anything I ride
It's gonna have TV's in it, chrome on it, wood inside
I got a variety of cars I can drive in
I don't be slippin', I be on the issue believe me
Top of the line Rollie on my wrist when ya see me
I want to be chauffeured in a Bentley
Haters can't take that so they plottin' to flip me
But I'ma shake that, a million dollars, I'm tryna make that
These baller blockin' rookies they hate that
I don't wear nothin' cheap, from my head to my feet
Twenty on my wrist, ten on my Cash Money piece
You can't help but hear my name ringin' on the streets
From gettin' my ball on, to nailin' ya old lady
You can try to look at my grill, get blind, playa
All week long I like to shine, playa
Get yo' shine on, playa, it's on now
You ain't thuggin' if you ain't ridin' on chrome now
Get yo' shine on and chase yo' riches
You wanna roll raw, drop yo' Lex' on twenty inches
Get yo' shine on, playa, it's on now
You ain't thuggin' if you ain't ridin' on chrome now
Get yo' shine on and chase yo' riches
You wanna roll raw, drop yo' truck on twenty inches

They only wanna see a hot boy broke 'em down
I'ma represent because I'm from that Uptown
Plug get iced up, do what you gon' do then let's split
Because it's goin' down on Freret and Washington
I follow you in the Suburb with the fifth rim
Chrome grill, wood grain, stern wheel
Baby Gangsta is worth six figures plus
I'm thinkin' 'bout a Lexus truck For Christmas
I'ma put TV's in both of they headrests
Women live to please me I can't say I'm not blessed, fresh
Look what rap got us, look what rap done bought us
We followin' each other in two big body's on brauders
Get yo' shine on, playa, it's on now
You ain't thuggin' if you ain't ridin' on chrome now
Get yo' shine on, playa, chase yo' riches

Get yo' shine on, it's on now
You ain't thuggin' if you ain't ridin' on chrome now

Hustlin' for a mil' I do dat every day
Me and my whole clique all week just shinnin'
House's and fancy car's, all Big Tymers buyin'
Lyin' to these broads 'cause we got it like that
Black on black army truck, we ridin' like that
None of us want for nothin', black brother's gettin' rich
We always follow this motto, "Trick's ain't it"
Baby, don't like to brag but he just bouht a Jag'
Ferrari and a Lamborghini with a TV on the dash
That thing there fast and it's off the hook
We don't carry cash, we all tote a check book
Leavin' haters in the dust, competition shook
Step aside on yo' own or whoadie'll get pushed
Get yo' shine on, playa, it's on now
You ain't thuggin' if you ain't ridin' on chrome now
Get yo' shine on, playa, chase yo' riches

The lyrics to BG's hit song "Rollin' Raw" are a celebration of wealth and status through material possessions. The song opens with a directive to "get yo' shine on," setting the tone for a song about showing off and flaunting one's riches. This message is reinforced through lyrics about driving expensive cars on chrome wheels, wearing high-end jewelry (including a "top of the line Rollie"), and generally living a lavish lifestyle. The song is also notable for its references to hip hop's affinity for luxury brands and designer fashion, with lines about wearing nothing cheap and being fresh from head to toe.
The chorus repeats the message of the opening line, emphasizing that one can't be considered a real "thug" without a flashy ride. The verses feature some guest appearances, including fellow Cash Money Records artist Juvenile, who raps about cruising around with girls and living a similar lavish lifestyle. The second verse includes a reference to the rap group Big Tymers, further cementing the song's message about the intersection of wealth and hip hop.
Overall, "Rollin' Raw" is an unabashed celebration of money and success, with a focus on the material trappings of wealth. It can be interpreted as both a celebration of the pleasures that wealth can buy, and a critique of a society that places so much emphasis on material possessions.
