ROLLIN'
John D.O.E. Lyrics

Uh
Introductory interjection

Woke up thinkin' bout paper no time for sleeping in
I woke up with thoughts of earning money, no time for leisure sleep

I'd probably sleep better if I was constantly meeting ends
I'd be able to sleep soundly if I didn't have to worry about making ends meet

I'm always sober yea but this stress feelin like patron
I don't drink alcohol but the stress I feel is like being drunk on Patron

Bouncing from check to check they say I'm a Rollin' Stone
I'm living paycheck to paycheck, people say I'm unstable like a Rolling Stone

Up hill I'm running shit all my life I been climbing hills
I'm working hard to achieve my goals, I've been facing challenges my whole life

Leavin wit moma shit we was ducking and dodging bills
I grew up with financial struggles, always trying to avoid bills

That shit should tell you why I'm so focused on gettin' rich
My past experiences have motivated me to work hard and achieve wealth

Money, Power, Aretha, my nigga you keep the bitch
Money, power, and respect are important, don't let anyone take them away

I'm tryna get paper to flex I'm done playin fetch I'm focused on cashing a check
I'm trying to earn money to show off and live well, no more playing around, I'm focused on getting paid

And if you come after that check I get upset guillotine I'm at your neck
If anyone tries to take my money, I'll get angry and fight back to protect it

Referee the way I'm waving the tech yellow flag on the play
I'm making moves with precision, like a referee signaling a penalty in a game

I'm tryna fuck the world deep when I penetrate
I'm trying to make a big impact on the world with my success

Owners ain't giving 2 fucks what the tenant say please don't get in the way
Landlords don't care about tenants, don't try to stop me from making money

Cuz you can get fucked in the process
If you try to interfere, you might get hurt in the process

Pause naw I ain't on no fuck shit
I'm not doing anything shady or inappropriate

I'm just tryna get my fans up then my bands up then go and put some D's on a Cutlass
I'm focused on building my fanbase and financial success, then buying a nice car

Pop said take your time don't rush it
My father taught me to be patient and not rush into things

Moma said put you niggas in the garbage
My mother encouraged me to distance myself from negative people

Same dream every night about the stardom
My dream of becoming a successful artist is always on my mind

I even sleep with my eyes on the target
I'm so focused on my goals that even when I sleep, I dream about them and plan how to achieve them

Yea it's hard to be fully clothed in the mist of the hatred
It's difficult to maintain positivity and kindness when surrounded by negativity and hatred

When yo wallet is only fabric you start feeling naked
When you have little money, you feel vulnerable and exposed

They don't favors for free
People don't do things for free

Be sure to keep yo receipts
Keep track of your transactions and expenses

I hit one knee thank G.O.D
I thank God for my blessings

Get in that gushy then fall asleep
Have sex and then fall asleep

Won't get the proper rest til I'm comfortably in a Benz
I won't be satisfied or relaxed until I can afford a luxurious car

Heavy's the head that dreams about taking over the throne
Having big aspirations is a burden and a lot of pressure

Two codes I live by never give up and respect the dead
I believe in persistence and honoring the deceased

This year I been stressing me and my sister been bumbing heads
My sister and I have been arguing, causing me stress this year

That clock be tickin' got to get my son out these starving pits
I'm under pressure to provide for my son, who is struggling financially

I'm tryna go run up these digits head to the bank and deposit bout 200 million
I'm trying to exponentially increase my wealth and deposit $200 million in the bank

Niggas be down on they shins and I don't get tired I call that shit financial fitness
Some people give up or get tired, but I'm committed to achieving financial success

Niggas get lottery picks and be drafting these bitches
Some people get lucky breaks and waste their opportunity on frivolous things

Money's my top pick
Earning money is my main priority

No switching topics
I won't be sidetracked or distracted

I'm tryna take a va-ca to the tropics with Benjamin Franklins hanging out wallets
I want to take a tropical vacation with a lot of money

I'm talking money so heavy you can't even carry you gone need a dolley
I'm talking about so much money that you need a dolly to carry it

Load that shit up right along with the 40 cal. toys just asking a nigga to try me
I'll have my money and my gun with me, daring anyone to challenge me

Bye bye to haters thats praying and wishing I fail
I'm not paying attention to the negative people who want me to fail

Know that I'm praying and wishing you well
I'm focusing on positivity and wishing well for my critics and naysayers

I really been yoked you been eggin' me on until you got hit with a shell
I've been working hard, while you've been trying to distract or sabotage me, until you faced the consequences

Won't get no shut eye cuz of this itch thats been on my hand
I won't be able to relax or sleep until I scratch this itch to be successful

Dealing with struggles holding me back from attaining goals
I'm facing obstacles that are preventing me from achieving my goals

Yet it's on to the next
Despite my challenges, I'm moving on to the next opportunity

They say I'm a Rollin' Stone
People categorize me as a free-spirited, inconsistent person
