Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I need it all downtown, nigga
Put it back where you fuckin' found it though
I need it all down (my nigga)
Keep 'em right there, oh, you found 'em though
I want a shirt that make my body feel all sexy
I want a chain that make my body feel all hefty
I want my head to fall off when I walk out the door
I want the rain to fall down and I'm askin' for more

Ridin' on the roof with a dollar sign
Attached to my head, head, head, head, head, head, head, head
Ridin' on the roof with a dollar sign
Attached to my head, head, head, head, head, head, head, head
(Ride slow, ride slow, slow) Ridin' on the roof with a dollar sign
Attached to my head, head, head, head, head, head, head, head (woo, slow)
(Ride slow, ride slow, slow) Ridin' on the roof with a dollar sign
Attached to my head, head, head, head, head, head, head, head (woo, slow)

I want a love that make me feel like I ain't breakin' ya heart
I wanna know what made you stay when it was wrong from the start
I need to know where you went lookin' where you went through the chop
I need this fear of being everybody else to depart
I got a lot on my mind, not enough hours to shed
Not enough trust to believe, not enough feelin' to care
I'm feeling numb to the world so I been ignoring instead
I'm seeing through what I want to recognise who is there, yeah

Throw me in the fire, baby, I'll survive
Coming top down by the seaside
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yah
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yah
See the wrong side of the 45
Only you and me by the borderline (ooo)
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yah (ooo-ooo)
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yah, let it go

Ridin' on the roof with a dollar sign
Attached to my head, head, head, head, head, head, head, head
Ridin' on the roof with a dollar sign
Attached to my head, head, head, head, head, head, head, head
(Ride slow, ride slow, slow) Ridin' on the roof with a dollar sign

(Ride slow, ride slow, slow) Ridin' on the roof with a dollar sign
Attached to my head, head, head, head, head, head, head, head (woo, slow)

I would show you off for everything I own
I know it's not used to
See they could tear me down, take everything I made
I'll still be here next to you

Throw me in the fire, baby, I'll survive
Coming top down by the seaside
Ay-yi-yi-yi-yah
