rollin'
II-J Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Laura gave 'em to me
She did
She's awful nice, Amos
Shh! My name ain't Amos
Tis to
T'aint nuther, not no more
Then what is it
Going down the roads at high speeds, flying
I'm just rolling
Vibing
Aye
Used to give a fuck about getting my dick sucked
Now, I'm just looking for a little bit of good luck
Lately, I've been feeling real stuck
People say "I feel you", bitch no you don't
I'm just being real, yeah
I miss my drug dealer
But he left for Christian college,
Getting real knowledge
So, his streetness been abolished
I just stay polished, aye
Looking like a million bucks
In this Walmart fit, I just purchased for fucks
I keep my teeth brushed
Bitches wanna see us
People wanna be us
They deny it but they know
They need us
In God, We Trust
Only problem is, I don't think He trusts us
But you can't blame Him
We're more focused on busting a nut
Than putting good food in our gut
And getting our eyes shut
I'm spitting bars so random
My brain's in tandem
Going two places at once
I calm it down by smoking blunts
And eating hamburgers with ketchup from Hunts
I just chill with my homies
Smoke weed and relax
We don't take more than we need
We aren't controlled by greed
We're just tryna lead by example
We know sometimes we can be a handful
But we feel
We've got it handled
We just stay rolling
Vibing
Chevy Malibu driving
Rolling, rolling, rolling
Vibing, vibing, vibing
We stay rolling, vibing
Malibu driving
Going down the roads at high speeds, flying
We stay rolling
Vibing
Aye
I need constant distraction
Sometimes I'm loud just to get a reaction
I'm all about action
For a fraction of the day
All the rest of it I just waste away
No work, all play
Media leading me astray
But, I wouldn't have it any other way
I got goals and dreams, only problem is
I got low self esteem
Plus
I'm still just a teen
When I play basketball, I get mean
Not a fan of ice cream
Used to be but now I think it just tastes shitty
Hopefully, I stay healthy and lean, ooh
And keep my room clean
And make it wealthy
But for now
I stay rolling, vibing, Malibu driving
Going down the roads at high speeds, flying
I'm just rolling
Vibing
I'm just rolling, vibing, Malibu driving
Going down the roads at high speeds, flying
I'm just rolling
(Living life, dying)
Vibing
(But slowly, bitch)
We just stay rolling vibing, Chevy Malibu driving, yeah
Going down the roads at high speeds, flying
Rolling, vibing
(Chevy Malibu, yeah)
We just stay rolling vibing, Chevy Malibu driving, yeah
Going down the roads at high speeds, flying, flying
Flying, flying
I'm just rolling, vibing, Malibu driving
Going down the roads at high speeds, flying
I'm just rolling, vibing
Ooh, I need distraction
I'm just rolling, vibing, Chevy Malibu driving
Going down the roads at high speeds, flying
Flying
Flying

Driving at high speeds down the road
Used to give a fuck about getting my dick sucked
He doesn't care about sex as much anymore
Now, I'm just looking for a little bit of good luck
He is hoping for good things to happen
Lately, I've been feeling real stuck
Feeling trapped recently
People say "I feel you", bitch no you don't
No one truly understands his situation
I'm just being real, yeah
Being honest about his feelings
I miss my drug dealer
He misses his drug source
But he left for Christian college,
His drug dealer went to a religious school
Getting real knowledge
Expanding his education
So, his streetness been abolished
His dealer is no longer involved in drug dealing
I just stay polished, aye
He stays clean and put together
Looking like a million bucks
He looks rich and well put together
In this Walmart fit, I just purchased for fucks
He bought his outfit from Walmart
I keep my teeth brushed
He maintains good hygiene
Bitches wanna see us
Women want to be around them
People wanna be us
Others want their lifestyle
They deny it but they know
People secretly want to be like them
They need us
Others require their presence
In God, We Trust
Referencing the US national motto
Only problem is, I don't think He trusts us
He feels that God doesn't trust them
But you can't blame Him
Blaming humans for their own problems
We're more focused on busting a nut
More interested in sex than other priorities
Than putting good food in our gut
Preferring sex over healthy food
And getting our eyes shut
Choosing sex instead of sleep
I'm spitting bars so random
Rapping random lyrics
My brain's in tandem
His thoughts are happening simultaneously
Going two places at once
Having two thoughts at once
I calm it down by smoking blunts
Using marijuana to relax
And eating hamburgers with ketchup from Hunts
Eating a classic American meal
I just chill with my homies
Hanging out with his friends
Smoke weed and relax
Using marijuana to destress
We don't take more than we need
Not being excessive
We aren't controlled by greed
Not being controlled by desires for wealth or power
We're just tryna lead by example
Trying to set a good example
We know sometimes we can be a handful
Realizing they can be difficult to deal with
But we feel
Believing
We've got it handled
Having their lives under control
I need constant distraction
Requiring regular entertainment
Sometimes I'm loud just to get a reaction
Being dramatic for attention
I'm all about action
Preferring to do things instead of talk about them
For a fraction of the day
Only for a small portion of the day
All the rest of it I just waste away
Wasting the rest of his time
No work, all play
Prioritizing leisure over work
Media leading me astray
Mass media affecting his life decisions
But, I wouldn't have it any other way
Preferring his current life decisions
I got goals and dreams, only problem is
He has aspirations, but also issues
I got low self esteem
Suffering from low self-confidence
Plus
Additionally
I'm still just a teen
Being young and inexperienced
When I play basketball, I get mean
Getting competitive when playing basketball
Not a fan of ice cream
Not enjoying ice cream
Used to be but now I think it just tastes shitty
Disliking ice cream now
Hopefully, I stay healthy and lean, ooh
Hoping to maintain good health
And keep my room clean
Prioritizing cleanliness in his personal space
And make it wealthy
Hoping to become wealthy in the future
But for now
Currently
I'm just rolling, vibing, Malibu driving
Driving around and enjoying the scenery
I need distraction
Needing entertainment to avoid boredom
Living life, dying
Experiencing life and nearing death
But slowly, bitch
Realizing life moves slowly
Chevy Malibu driving
Driving a Chevy Malibu
We just stay rolling vibing, Chevy Malibu driving, yeah
Continuing to drive and enjoy life
Flying
Driving fast
