Rock Steady
Diplo Lyrics

My face shining, looking like some salmon skin
My face is glowing and shining like the skin of a salmon fish

All twelve Reggie Hammond, holding hammers him
We are a group of twelve people armed with hammers, just like Reggie Hammond

Never speak, he like that short silent type
One of us is a man of few words, preferring to remain silent and mysterious

I’m in the mountains shovin' knives, drinking wine at night
I am in the mountains sharpening knives while enjoying a glass of wine under the stars

Rose petals get thrown to the feet
We are showered with rose petals as a sign of respect and admiration

Know we grow knee ’cause even in this rap don't work we got stones in the street
We are tough and resilient, even if our music career fails, we have the streets to fall back on

Go down in Tallahassee, work and come home in a week
We travel to Tallahassee for work and return home within a week

See me stoned in a Jeep with the chrome on the feet
You can find me driving a Jeep while smoking marijuana and showing off its shiny chrome wheels

Leather overalls, shirtless like I'm Kells in the street
I wear leather overalls and go shirtless like R. Kelly in public

Posing for flicks, leaning on an English whip
We take pictures while leaning on a luxurious English car

With the float ware straight from the aquarium
Our jewelry is as beautiful and vibrant as the fish in an aquarium

My bitch built like secretariat, yeah, bring the chariot
My girlfriend is beautiful and curvy like a racehorse, and I want her to ride in a chariot

I fuck the pussy, not marry it, world on my shoulders, dougie, I carry it
I am not looking for a committed relationship, but I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders like the Dougie dance move

I’m more than happy with my bitch, she got no saggy tits
I am very content with my girlfriend's appearance and can confirm that she has no saggy breasts

I’ll do it old school style and give her baggy dick
I prefer to have sex in a traditional manner and not engage in the trend of penis enlargement

They talk in cents, diamonds in our tooths and dinner (ice)
Other people may talk about small amounts of money, but we have diamonds in our teeth and can afford luxurious meals

Rap game Burt Reynolds in a candy canteloupe car rental
We are popular rappers, just like Burt Reynolds, and we drive a candy-colored rental car

I’m in the trash compactor, black shades like famous actor
I am in a dangerous and risky situation, but I still wear dark sunglasses like a famous actor

Bank account doin' gymnastics, flip
My bank account is fluctuating a lot, like a gymnast performing flips

40 cal. in the Razorback starter jacket (Arkansas)
I am wearing a Razorback starter jacket from Arkansas and have a 40 caliber gun in it

I switch up like south paw, frozen teeth look like tiger claws
I am versatile and unpredictable, just like a southpaw, and my teeth are so cold that they look like the sharp claws of a tiger

Look like a pain to massage my upper bums and lower jowls (igloos)
My upper thighs and lower cheeks look like they would be painful to massage, resembling the cold and icy texture of an igloo

My wedding gifts consists of Versace blend, ice out contenders, didn’t mean to offend you
My wedding gifts are expensive, including designer clothing and jewelry, and I did not mean to offend anyone with my wealth

When I pull up the [?], in the candy leather [?]
I arrive in a candy-colored leather car with unknown details

Flush out the system with niacin, 40 lines of the Vicodin
I detox my body with niacin and take a high amount of Vicodin

Still childish and violent, with appetite for violins
Despite my age, I have not matured and still have a tendency towards violence, but I also have a love for the sound of violins

Disappearing act like Sister, Sister
I am known for my sudden and unexpected disappearances, just like in the TV show Sister, Sister

Lost the biscuits, city slickers, rap game Billy Crystal
I am confused and disoriented, like a city slicker who has lost their biscuits, and I compare myself to the comedian Billy Crystal in the rap game

Pass our nuts, shit, ain’t no courtesy flush
We relieve ourselves without any consideration or politeness, not even bothering to flush the toilet

Fuck black bitches till they bruise, white hoes till they flush
We engage in sexual activity with black women until they are bruised, and white women until they orgasm

Fuck pretty bitches in their face, dick holes in their butts
We have aggressive and rough sexual encounters, penetrating the faces of attractive women and the anuses of men

Bumping mace [?]
We are listening to the music of Mace, or possibly using the chemical pepper spray of the same name

[?] sipping more lean with Goldie
We are drinking more lean and spending time with someone named Goldie

Sweaty minks in the summer like it’s snowing
We wear fur coats in the summertime, causing us to sweat profusely and giving the appearance of snowfall

Pummel all opponents turn gold if I concentrate
We are aggressive and can take down any opponents, and we transform them into gold with our intense focus

Scrape the plate rap for my team, bought a cheese greater
I am rapping for my team and doing my best, despite the meager resources and tools available to me

Eggplant, Parmesan with [?] seen him do a pushup on the back of his head
We are eating eggplant and Parmesan, and we have witnessed someone doing a difficult and impressive exercise where they push up with the back of their head

Acting like I’m certified, niggas get nervous when I’m walking
I am pretending to be skilled and knowledgeable in certain areas, causing others to feel intimidated and nervous around me

Nudge each other and whisper that’s him
People around me are nudging each other and secretly whispering my name as I pass by

Y’all niggas, cooch, pussies
I insult and belittle others, referring to them as inferior and cowardly

I’mma cool off his noose on the loose sipping hooch
I am the one who will calm down and control a dangerous situation, while casually sipping alcohol

Flow’s out the colon, TYB chosen, bust it wide open with my staff like Moses
I have an impressive and fluid rap flow coming straight from my gut, and I have been chosen by TYB (unknown) to showcase my skills, while also referencing a biblical story of Moses parting the Red Sea with his staff

Bounce to the left, shake it to the right Now pop it up once, we gon' dance tonight
We are encouraging others to dance and move their bodies in a fun and exciting way
