Rollin
Calvin Harris Future Khalid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been riding 85
I've been thinking way too much
And I'm way too gone to drive
I got anger in my chest
I got millions on my mind
And you didn't fit the picture
So I guess you weren't the vibe
I've been rollin' on the freeway
I've been riding 85
I've been thinking way too much
And I'm way too gone to drive
I got anger in my chest
I got millions on my mind
And you didn't fit the picture
So I guess you weren't the vibe
L-O-V-E on my right leg, that's Gucci (know what I'm sayin'?)
L-O-V-E on my main ho, that's Pucci (get what I'm sayin'?)
Caught a lil' jetlag but I'm golden, damn
We deserve Grammys and some Oscars, damn
They deserve Whammy's, they imposters
I be rollin' with my project homies, it's a vibe
I just did some pills with the homie, it's a vibe
Bend her over, switch sides, it's a vibe
I come through with strippers and some shottas
I gotta accept that I'm a monster
I pull up in several different options
Not all, but most of 'em came topless
I'll shatter your dreams with this cream I make (cream I make)
Gotta be on codeine to think of shit I say (shit I say)
I can't feel my toes and ain't gon' fold up (fold up)
I was in the parkin' lot when I rolled up (when I rolled up)
I've been rollin' on the freeway
I've been riding 85
I've been thinking way too much
And I'm way too gone to drive
I got anger in my chest
I got millions on my mind
And you didn't fit the picture
So I guess you weren't the vibe
I've been rollin' on the freeway
I've been riding 85
I've been thinking way too much
And I'm way too gone to drive
I got anger in my chest
I got millions on my mind
And you didn't fit the picture
So I guess you weren't the vibe
Pluto
Gotta dig what I'm sayin', Chanel draped on me, baby
Gotta dig what I'm sayin', she look like she's sponsored by Mercedes
Dig what I'm sayin', this Creed cologne is on me, baby (you dig?)
Dig what I'm sayin'? I'm goin' hard (hard, yeah)
I pop bubbly in your memory (in your memory)
You should be glad I'm showin' you sympathy (show you sympathy)
I gave you real love out the gutter (out the gutter)
Ever let you go, you gon' suffer (you gon' suffer from it)
I come through with strippers and some shottas
I gotta accept that I'm a monster
I pull up in several different options
Not all, but most of 'em came topless
I'll shatter your dreams with this cream I make (cream I make)
Gotta be on codeine to think of shit I say (shit I say)
I can't feel my toes and ain't gon' fold up (fold up)
I was in the parkin' lot when I rolled up (when I rolled up, rolled up, rolled up)
Yeah, L-O-V on my right leg
Nah Hendrix overload, dig what I'm sayin'?
I feel like I should be giving up
You can leave if it's too much
But I'm tired of you leading me on, oh no
I don't like where this shit is going
I've been stuck in all your apologies
Gave my all but you want more from me
Keep your love, it doesn't feel the same
I hope it hurts you when you're hearin' my name
The lyrics of Calvin Harris’s song “Rollin” paint a picture of someone in a state of mind that is no longer clear-headed. The person has been traveling down the freeway, speeding at around 85 miles an hour while their mind has been preoccupied with concerns that are weighing heavily on them. These concerns probably involve a broken relationship, which is why the person feels angry and has millions on their mind. They feel that whoever they were dealing with didn’t fit the picture they had in their heads and thus weren't the vibe. The second verse introduces a new theme; the person's love for their Gucci and Pucci-branded clothes, jet lag, and the desire for awards. The chorus is repeated once again before the song concludes.
The lyrics of “Rollin” are characterized by repetition, whereby most lines are repeated twice, creating a hypnotic rhythm throughout the song. The lyrics are also straightforward and align with the current trend of songs that use simple language and repetitive phrases. The language used is informal and has a conversational tone that feels familiar and relatable to many listeners. The song's overall effect is that it draws listeners in and hooks them with its catchy rhythm and simple yet relatable lyrics.

I hope it hurts you when you're hearin' my name
@thijssie930
uhm when do you hear any of them say anything about drinking?
he says ''I've been rollin' on the freeway
I've been riding 85
I've been thinking way too much
And I'm way too gone to drive
I've got anger in my chest
I've got millions on my mind
And you didn't fit the picture
So I guess you weren't the vibe''
