Round and Round

(Soundbombing)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, oh

I was gutter when ya met me, gutter when ya left me
Gutter when ya came back, face it nothin' can change that
Not romance nor marriage counselling
You drop the ball, now I'm bouncin'
Find me a room, burn up an ounce in
Waitin' for my baby to call, forgive it all
On some break-up-to-make-up shit, givin' me draws
I adore mi amor, but every time she choose to go to war
I'm lookin' at the front door

You could keep the negative's mind, please, I get the picture
But the emotional sounds was different when I first split you
Claim I brought pain to the thing like King Kong
Like villains in the Western flicks, that I was well hung (c'mon)
Who put you up on Talib Kweli and the Village of Slum?
Read the book of Psalms to get the miles, sing some (come on, come on now)
And you actin' like you don't know what I came here for
It's wrong to put our spirits you drove at the front door
Affectionate smiles, so you could front more (c'mon)
I should call you somethin' that walks on all fours (uh huh)
'Cause you got a fella heated for sure, love him or delete it, it's raw
Feelin' cheated when I'm out on tour
They catch a glimpse from beyond this globe, on the same note
'Cause in torrential downpours, I keep a rain coat
And a bottle of Chambord, to let the brain flow
Pray for sun after the rain and greet the rainbow

I try and I try to stop the
Forces that go 'round in my head and I
Thought you were the one to understand me
You turned my dark skies to light
But once again you touched my hopes to find
My soul's insane, my tears start gleaming in the rain
Falling again, falling again

I really don't know what you came here for
Round and around we go
I'm sending your bags outside the door
Round and around we go
I really don't know what you came here for
Round and around we go
I'm sending your bags outside the door
Round and around we go

If you don't understand where I'm comin' from
Then my heart is tellin' me you're not the one
All the games you played and I realized
You're not the one for me no more so baby bye-bye
Pack yo' bags and get to steppin'
You got to let it go, you need to stop trippin'
I hope you don't think I'ma let you back in
'Cause you's a fool

I really don't know what you came here for
Round and around we go
I'm sending your bags outside the door
Round and around we go
I really don't know what you came here for
Round and around we go
I'm sending your bags outside the door

G. Rap Giacanna, I'm not the one who's prone to be dissed
So let me make this clear for you, just like stones on my wrist
Just 'cause the door closed, don't mean I'm on the phone with a chick
I'm just a cat about his B.I. And that's only get rich
Straight up politickin', so where you lay your dome and be sick
Stack cake, keep food on the plate and chrome on the six
Then we can make a little fam, just us, alone in the sticks
And I can get rid of these bricks and be gone from the strip, you know? (Day)

Today I made up my mind to get away
Every day, I sit and pray, every day, every day

I really don't know what you came here for
Round and around we go
I'm sending your bags outside the door
Round and around we go
I really don't know what you came here for
Round and around we go
I'm sending your bags outside the door
Round and around we go

I really don't know what you came here for (today I'm gonna take a little time)
Round and around we go (to get away)
I'm sending your bags outside the door (every day, I sit and pray)
Round and around we go (every day)

Every day
Round and around we go




To get away
Round and around we go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jonell ft Method Man's song Round N’ Round seem to be about the back-and-forth of a tumultuous relationship. Despite the ups and downs, the singer still yearns for their lover, waiting for them to come back. However, they also seem to acknowledge that the relationship may not be salvageable and hint at the possibility of a breakup. Method Man’s verse adds another layer of complexity to the song, as he raps about moving on from a past relationship and finding someone who understands him better. Overall, the song seems to touch on themes of love, loss, and the struggles of maintaining a relationship.


The chorus serves as a metaphor for the circular nature of the relationship, with the singers seemingly unable to break free from the constant cycle of breaking up and making up. The verse β€œYou drop the ball, now I'm bouncin'” suggests that the singer is tired of being hurt and is ready to move on, while the lines β€œClaim I brought pain to the thing like King Kong / Like villains in the Western flicks, that I was well hung” seem to reference the accusations of the singer being the source of the relationship’s problems.


Method Man’s verse provides an interesting contrast to Jonell’s verses, as he seems to have already moved on from a past relationship and is now looking for someone who understands him better. The line β€œWhere you lay your dome and be sick / Stack cake, keep food on the plate and chrome on the six” suggests that he’s looking for someone who shares his ambition and work ethic.

You can keep your negativity to yourself because I already understand where you're coming from. However, the way I feel now is different from when we first broke up.


Claim I brought pain to the thing like King Kong Like villains in the Western flicks, that I was well hung (c'mon)
You accuse me of causing pain, but I'm like King Kong, the one that's been hurt the most. Villains in Western films may have been well hung, but I'm not compensating for anything.


Who put you up on Talib Kweli and the Village of Slum? Read the book of Psalms to get the miles, sing some (come on, come on now)
You act like you're more cultured than me, but who introduced you to Talib Kweli and the Village of Slum? I'm well-read too, I've even read through the book of Psalms and it's time for you to sing along too.

You're pretending not to understand what I want from our relationship. It's wrong to let our negative energy come between us. You're acting affectionate only to hide your true feelings.


I should call you somethin' that walks on all fours (uh huh) 'Cause you got a fella heated for sure, love him or delete it, it's raw
I should call you an animal because you're making me so angry. It's either love me or leave me, there's no middle ground.

I feel cheated when I'm away on tour and you're not with me. However, fans catch glimpses of me from all over the world and understand what I'm going through.

I hope for better days after the hard times so we can be happy together again.

If you can't understand my perspective, then it's clear you're not the right person for me. You played too many games and now I realize it's time to say goodbye. Start packing your bags and leave, I can't keep dealing with your behavior. Don't even think about coming back because I'm done with you.


G. Rap Giacanna, I'm not the one who's prone to be dissed So let me make this clear for you, just like stones on my wrist Just 'cause the door closed, don't mean I'm on the phone with a chick I'm just a cat about his B.I. And that's only get rich Straight up politickin', so where you lay your dome and be sick Stack cake, keep food on the plate and chrome on the six Then we can make a little fam, just us, alone in the sticks And I can get rid of these bricks and be gone from the strip, you know? (Day)
I'm not someone who is used to being disrespected. Let me make it clear, just like the stones on my wrist. Just because our door is closed doesn't mean I'm talking to another woman. I'm just focused on making money and living my life. I'm making moves, where you lay your head down is your own business. I'm stacking my money, putting food on the table and keeping a gun close by. We can start a family together and live a quiet life in the countryside. I'm ready to get rid of my drug-selling lifestyle and move on to something better, you know?


Today I made up my mind to get away Every day, I sit and pray, every day, every day
I've decided today that it's time for me to get away from this relationship. Every day, I spend time praying and hoping for a better future.

Every day Round and around we go To get away Round and around we go
Every day, we keep going in circles. I need to get away from this cycle.

Just read a butt load of comments and thought I'd add... 52 yo female from Philly and this is one of my favorite songs to bump to in my Civic on my way home from anywhere! Windows done, blue tooth connected to my playlist while the bass thumps... Nothing can compare to the music we once knew. The younger people at work say oh yeah my mom's listen to them oldies... Lol
