Rock With You
D-Influence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feeling high
My money's gone
I'm all alone
Too much to see
The world keeps turnin'
Oh, what a day
What a day, what a day
Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned
If your knowledge were your wealth
Then it would be well-earned
If we were made in his image
Then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in God
But they fear us just the same
Oh, on and on and on and on
(My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Woo, on and on and on and on
(All night 'til the break of dawn)
I go on and on and on and on
(My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Ooh, on and on and on and on
(God dammit I'ma sing my song)
I was born underwater
With three dollars and six dimes
Yeah, you might laugh
'Cause you did not do your math
Like one, two, three
Damn, y'all feel that? Oh
Like one, two, three
The world keeps turning
Oh what a day, what a day, what a day
The man that knows something
Knows that he knows nothing at all
Does it seem colder in your summertime
And hotter in your fall?
If we were made in his image
Then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in God
But they fear us just the same
Oh, on and on and on and on
(My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
On and on and on and on
(All night 'til the vultures swarm)
I go on and on and on and on
(My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Ooh on and on and on and on
(Mad props to the god JaBorn)
I am feeling kinda hungry 'cause my high is coming down
Don't feed me yours 'cause your food does not endure
I think I need a cup of tea, the world keeps burnin'
Oh, what a day, what a day, what a day
You rush into destruction 'cause you don't have nothin' left
The mothership can't save you so your ass is gon' get left
If we were made in his image then call us by our names
Most intellects do not believe in God
But they fear us just the same
Oh, on and on and on and on
(My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Oh, on, on, on, on and on, on, on
(You can't fuck with me so just leave me alone)
Ooh, ooh, way on and on and on and on
(My cypher keeps moving like a rolling stone)
Oh, on and on and on and on, on
(And on and on)
The lyrics to D-Influence's "Rock With You" explore concepts of knowledge, wealth, and spirituality, all set against the backdrop of a fast-moving world. The song opens with the singer feeling high, but also recognizing that he is all alone and his money is gone. He reflects on the world turning and the constant influx of things to see and learn. The chorus repeats the phrase "on and on and on and on", emphasizing the never-ending cycle of life.
The second verse delves deeper into the theme of knowledge and spirituality, with the lyrics "if your knowledge were your wealth, then it would be well-earned". The singer questions whether humans were made in God's image or not, and notes that many intellectuals do not believe in God but still fear those who do. The bridge compares the seasons to the unpredictability of life, and notes that those who know something often recognize the limits of their own knowledge.
Throughout the song, the lyrics place emphasis on the idea of movement - the world turning, the singer's "cypher" (a term used in hip hop to refer to a group or circle of friends) moving like a rolling stone, and the need to keep going despite the challenges presented by life. The song is ultimately a reflection on the complexities of the world and the need to keep moving forward, even when it seems impossible.

Oh, my, my, my
I am feeling ecstatic
I'm feeling high
I am experiencing an intense euphoric feeling
My money's gone
I am broke
I'm all alone
I am lonely
Too much to see
There is a lot happening around me
The world keeps turnin'
Life continues to move forward
Oh, what a day
What an eventful day it was
What a day, what a day
It was truly a remarkable day
Peace and blessings manifest with every lesson learned
We gain wisdom and good fortune from our experiences
If your knowledge were your wealth
If your intelligence were your riches
Then it would be well-earned
You would have worked hard to acquire it
If we were made in his image
If we were created in God's likeness
Then call us by our names
We should be recognized as individuals
Most intellects do not believe in God
Many intelligent people do not believe in a higher power
But they fear us just the same
However, they respect us because of our power or influence
Woo, on and on and on and on
Continuously moving forward
(All night 'til the break of dawn)
Until the early hours of the morning
(God dammit I'ma sing my song)
I am going to express myself regardless of any obstacles
I was born underwater
I faced challenges from the moment I came into this world
With three dollars and six dimes
With very little money to my name
Yeah, you might laugh
My situation may seem humorous to you
'Cause you did not do your math
You underestimated me because you did not have all the information
Damn, y'all feel that? Oh
Do you understand my point? It just hit me
The man that knows something
Someone who is knowledgeable
Knows that he knows nothing at all
Understands that there is much more to learn
Does it seem colder in your summertime
Does it feel like things are going wrong when they should be going right?
And hotter in your fall?
Is everything upside down?
(All night 'til the vultures swarm)
Until the very end when everything falls apart
(Mad props to the god JaBorn)
Acknowledging someone who is respected or admired
I am feeling kinda hungry 'cause my high is coming down
I am starting to feel the effects of my drug use wearing off
Don't feed me yours 'cause your food does not endure
Do not try to make me happy with temporary pleasure
I think I need a cup of tea, the world keeps burnin'
I require comfort in a world that is full of chaos
You rush into destruction 'cause you don't have nothin' left
People make bad decisions when they are desperate
The mothership can't save you so your ass is gon' get left
Even if you had help, you would still be lost
(You can't fuck with me so just leave me alone)
You are not capable of manipulating me, so there is no point in trying
(And on and on)
Continuing into infinity

Para mi ésta canción de Rod Temperton entra fácil en la lista de las 10 mejores canciones Pop de la historia... ésta versión es tan buena cómo la de Michael...es como si Michael la hubiese grabado en sus 40's.
