Rolling Stone
Brent Faiyaz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a rolling stone (stone)
I'm too wild for you to own
In a whip that's meant to speed (phew-phew-phew)
If I hurt you, would you leave?
I learned the game from some heavyweights
Catching buses, making change from another play (change)
I wish I could shake 'em but they follow me
I wish I could take it easy but these fans watch
Ask my mama, I been hustling since the sandbox
I'm a rolling stone
I'm sorry in advance if I let you down
I'm sorry in advance if I let you down
Bitch, you just spilled Louis XIII on my McQueens
(Damn, back the fuck up)
I got all this pimp shit up in my genes
Oh
Blame that on my mother
I can't go nowhere that's less than me
Ask my lovers, I'm troubled
First I'm exciting, then I'm gaslighting, make up your mind
I'm rich as fuck and I ain't nothing at the same time
People hate me and they love me at the same time (damn, damn, damn)
I guess I'm everything and nothing at the same time
I'm sorry in advance if I let you down
(I'm a rolling stone)
I'm sorry in advance if I let you down
In Brent Faiyaz's song ROLLING STONE, the artist describes himself as a "rolling stone," meaning that he is wild and free, and cannot be easily tamed by anyone. He compares himself to a car that is meant to speed and cause excitement, but reflects on the possibility of hurting someone if he were to lose control. He tells the story of his upbringing and how he learned to hustle from "heavyweights" and had to catch buses to make ends meet. Despite his success, he still carries "demons" from his younger days and wishes to be able to shake them off, but they continue to follow him- even as his fame grows and he acquires fans that watch his every move.
The song captures the complexities and contradictions of being a celebrity, where one can be "rich as f*ck and ain't nothing at the same time." Brent Faiyaz acknowledges that he is both loved and hated, exciting and gaslighting, and that he cannot please everyone; hence, he apologizes in advance if he ever lets anyone down. The song's lyrics reveal a level of vulnerability on the artist's part, which is further emphasized by the use of his real name, Christopher Brent Wood. Overall, the song is a confession of a young musician's struggles and fears as he rises to fame.
