Roll, control it girl, roll it girl

The lyrics to J-Status's "Roll It" featuring Rihanna are all about the art of "wining" or dancing. In the Caribbean, wining refers to a specific style of dance that involves the waistline and hips, often in a circular motion. The song celebrates the beauty and talent of Caribbean women who know how to move their bodies to the beat of reggae and calypso music.
The lyrics also emphasize the importance of confidence and self-love. The singer encourages women to show off their bodies and not be shy about their sexuality. As the song says: "If yuh sexy and ya know it / Girl you ave it you should show it / Make it bounce up an down now / Wine yuh body to the ground now." The lyrics also touch on the idea of pleasure and intimacy, with lines like "I bring the fire, you bring the heat / Don't hold back baby, give it to me."
