Rotate
J.Lately Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Let them all keep watching
It’s the only option
Yeah yeah

Let another spliff rotate
I could do this all day
Oh yeah
How do ya’ll miss all day
How you make this all lame
Oh no
Water with all my drinks
I don’t say all I think
Say less
This could be an all night thing
This is what you call icing

Yeah yeah
I take my coffee with weed and deep breaths shit
All my demons detest it
Working on building my brand and reflexes
Got concentration like East Texas
I don’t need to keep exes
I love everything that she texts
Sometimes life on the road can get boring
Bout to stay my ass home get drunk and be reckless
Yeah yeah I’ma marry me a freak but she looks shy
They can’t block this shit like a hook shot
Yeah this one’s for anyone who ever took shots
Tell them all that energy looks lost
Learn the game I don’t care what the books cost
Used to have a lot to say til it took off
Now the love goes round and round
Like the handle of the spoon when you cook sauce

Let another spliff rotate
I could do this all day
Oh yeah
How do ya’ll miss all day
How you make this all lame
Oh no
Water with all my drinks
I don’t say all I think
Say less
This could be an all night thing
This is what you call icing

It’s a brand new day hit the reset
Me and J doubled up this a heat check
Vegas baby but the Flint nigga in me
Got me feeling like a player so I can’t pay for cheap sex
Backwoods rotating and I’m up next
Still Movin still going and they upset
I could do this all day in a million different ways
That's my lady she fell in love with a ruffneck
Got this Dizzy OG I’m bout to breakdown
Got this lil stoner mom I’m bout to take down
I don’t play around
I got her picking up a pound
Fuck with her and you gon catch it MMA style
If you’re like me everything is high key
Short niggas confidence be on Spike Lee
Ducked off but my soul don’t cost feeling lost
If it made me kinda crazy than I might be, yee

Let another spliff rotate
I could do this all day
Oh yeah
How do ya’ll miss all day
How you make this all lame
Oh no
Water with all my drinks
I don’t say all I think
Say less
This could be an all night thing
This is what you call icing

Let the world keep spinning
They all keep watching
It all beginning
The only option
Is all winning
We’ve been so dedicated
We’ve been so dedi…

Let another spliff rotate
I could do this all day
Oh yeah
How do ya’ll miss all day
How you make this all lame
Oh no
Water with all my drinks
I don’t say all I think
Say less




This could be an all night thing
This is what you call icing
