Roller Coaster
Boosie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Peace seems so hard to find
Peace seems so hard to find

I've been lookin' for some peace but can't find an ounce
Just lost my auntie Keisha, monster got her, breast cancer
My nigga Dame on trial and they tryna flip him
Sanchez fightin' the rope, they tryna kill him
Mike Brown shot down, they goin' to war about it
This happen everyday in my hood, they just don't talk about it
Plus a nigga on parole
One feet in the pen, one feet at the door
You know how that go
Parole tax a nigga, you don't like it get the fuck on
I don't like your bitch ass, nigga, you gettin' stepped on
Too many bitches callin' my line
People that I know they keep on dyin'

Roller coaster ride
Not many ups, too many downs
(Peace seems so hard to find)
Roller coaster ride
Not many ups, too many downs
(Peace seems so hard to find)

So many niggas goin' bitch made, switchin' up
Stay out my lane, pussy nigga, I'll hit you up
This world crazy, gotta show 'em what a man 'bout
Wake up, too many fuckin' people got their hand out
Try and do the right thing, what my P.O. tell me
But who I'm gon' hang 'round? All my niggas felons
Can't trust too many niggas snitchin', all these niggas tellin'
Do any hoes love me for me? All these bitches guessin'
Duckin' IRS, fuckin' girls who mess
Don't want me to have a gun, now you tryna wet me
So I go get 40 acres and a mule
Came home strong, multi owner coupe
Damn, people judgin' from the start
Always talkin' crime, never talk about my heart
Who been about his business, true, fed the whole city, true
Same motherfuckers when you go to jail shit on you
Shit scary over here, I got a sicker crew
And everything got a dick in it when I spit at you, nigga
So I ain't even worry about you nigga
Now I don't give a fuck about you nigga ('Bout you niggas)

Roller coaster ride
Not many ups, too many downs
(Peace seems so hard to find)
Roller coaster ride




Not many ups, too many downs
(Peace seems so hard to find)

Overall Meaning

In "Roller Coaster Ride," Boosie Badazz reflects on the constant cycle of obstacles and struggles he faces in his life. He begins by lamenting how elusive peace seems to be, even though he has been searching for it. Boosie then shares some of the recent losses his community has suffered, including the death of his auntie Keisha who fell victim to breast cancer and his friend Sanchez who is fighting for his life. He also mentions the injustices that have occurred in his neighborhood, such as the killing of Mike Brown and the lack of attention paid to it by the media. Boosie admits that he is on parole and one foot away from being sent back to prison and that he is struggling to keep his head above water. The roller coaster ride metaphor suggests that the ups and downs of life come one after the other, with long periods of pain and struggle in between.


Boosie then turns to talk about his frustration with people who are disloyal and untrustworthy. He states that many people he knows have started acting "bitch made" and cannot be trusted. He admits that he's trying to do the right thing and follow the rules his PO gives him, but it's not easy with so many of his friends being felons. He asks if any girls love him for who he is and not for his fame or money. Boosie complains that he's being hounded by the IRS and trying to avoid being caught up with the wrong people. Nevertheless, he feels like he's making progress and he's back on his feet after a difficult period. He ends the song by declaring his independence from anyone who tries to hold him back or drag him down.
