Round Here
I-Rocc Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And tears the shit out of everybody
Runs like the wind
Eats everything in his path
Cause every once in a while
The lion has to show the jackals
Who he is
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
My name up on the list
So let me in ‘round here
I might blow some bands ‘round here
Cause I’m the man ‘round here
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
I do what I want do what you can ‘round here
Cold summer
Woke up from a slumber
Get money with my brothers
Step back hit a jumper
Get it out the gutter
Now we living life in comfort
Finger on the trigger
But I’m patient like a hunter
It’s the climate change
Finally broke up out the cage
Me and you are not the same
I move in time like a chess game
Coming for the spot
And I can do it without aim
Desert eagle hit ya body
Feel more than just chest pains
I’m a young don
A wild boy but I’m provident
Appetite for destruction
Wanna take over continents
Big boy guns
Where the drum hang like an ornament
We taking over
Fucking shit up for the fun of it
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
I just might blow some bands ‘round here
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
My name up on the list
So let me in ‘round here
I might blow some bands ‘round here
Cause I’m the man ‘round here
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
I do what I want do what you can ‘round here
Hunting season
Get them hundreds easy
Dripping with the sauce
Somebody get a squeegee
Started at the top
And that’s why y’all can’t see me
Came down to shake some hands
But I only stayed briefly
That boss shit
Never care bout what it cost shit
That rob shit
Make yo ass run them pockets
Pull up to the bank
But we ain’t making no deposits
Withdrawal a couple thousand
And vacate it to the tropics
Money on my mind
Got no time for no romance
Wrist whip that work
But this ain’t no slow dance
Junkies get it in
Smoking dope out a coke can
Bitch get out ya feelings
Choppa make you do the shiggy dance
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
I just might blow some bands ‘round here
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
My name up on the list
So let me in ‘round here
I might blow some bands ‘round here
Cause I’m the man ‘round here
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
I do what I want do what you can ‘round here
I might blow some bands ‘round here
Hold up cause I’m the man ‘round here
Hold up I’m the man ‘round here
Hold up do what you can ‘round here
I might I might I might
I’m the man I’m the man
