Let It Rock
Kelvin Rudolf ft Lil Wayne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What is done in vain, truth is hard to swallow
So you pray to God
To justify the way you live a lie, live a lie, live a lie
And you take your time and you do your crime
Well you made your bed, I'm in mine
Because when I arrive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Now the son's disgraced
He, who knew his father
When he cursed his name
Turned, and chased the dollar
But it broke his heart
So he stuck his middle finger
To the world, to the world to the world
And you take your time and you stand in line
Well you'll get what's yours, I got mine
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Yeah! Wayne's world
Planet Rock, panties drop
And the tops and she gonna rock 'til the camera stop
And I sing about angels like Angela (rock) and Pamela (rock)
And Samantha (rock) and Amanda and Tamara
I'm in here up like bitch what's up
Mechanic, me, I can fix you up
I can fuck you up, I can fuck you down
Shorty we can go wherever just pick a town
And the jewelry is louder than an engine sound
Big ass rocks like on the ground
Dirty like socks that's on the ground, Weezy
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Because when I arrive
I bring the fire, make you come alive
I can take you higher what this is, forgot?
I must now remind you let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
Just let it rock
Let it rock, let it rock, let it rock, let it rock
I'm back like I forgot something, I'm something
Rollin' Rock rubbing rap running
Miles like I'm trying to get a flat stomach
Like Wayne the personal trainer
My aim is perfect I'll fuck ya, period, like the reminder
I wish I could be, as cruel as you
And I wish I could say, the things you do
But I can't and I won't live a lie, no not this time
In "Let It Rock," Kelvin Rudolf ft Lil Wayne sings about people hiding their true selves behind lies and illusions. The opening verse speaks to someone hiding behind their collar, living a lie and reaching out to God to justify their actions. The singer addresses them, reminding them that they have made their bed with the choices they have made, leaving the singer with no other option but to lay in his.
The chorus has a different tone as the singer announces his arrival, bringing the fire that makes you come alive. He reminds the listener that he can take you higher and urges you to let it rock. The second verse shifts the focus on the son of a man who cursed his father and the dollars he was chasing instead. In the end, it's clear that the money does not mean much as it breaks his heart and leaves him with one gesture to express his feelings- flipping the bird to the world. The singer acknowledges that nothing lasts forever and that in due time, you'll get what's yours.
The last part of the song features Lil Wayne coming in with a rap verse full of wordplay, syncopation, and references to various women's names. He delivers his usual style of boasting about his material wealth, skills, and fame, and reminds the listener to let it rock one final time before the song ends.
Overall, the song's lyrics tell a story of people living with their illusions and the consequences they face, making it a call to action for living one's true self.

The son has been shamed and embarrassed
He, who knew his father
Someone who was close to their father
When he cursed his name
When he rejected and disowned his father
Turned, and chased the dollar
Went after money and success instead
But it broke his heart
This pursuit ended up devastating him
So he stuck his middle finger
He gave a sign of disrespect
To the world, to the world to the world
To everyone and everything around him
And you take your time and you stand in line
You're patient and willing to wait your turn
Well you'll get what's yours, I got mine
You believe in getting what you deserve, and you're happy with what you have

I'm capable of getting people crazy and wild, in a good way
Shorty we can go wherever just pick a town
Let's go anywhere you want, we can have fun in any location
And the jewelry is louder than an engine sound
My bling is so bright and flashy that it's hard to ignore
Big ass rocks like on the ground
I've got diamond jewelry that is huge and impressive
Dirty like socks that's on the ground, Weezy
I'm getting down and dirty and having fun
Just let it rock
Let the music take over and have fun
I'm back like I forgot something, I'm something
I'm back and just as exciting as ever
Rollin' Rock rubbing rap running
I'm moving quickly and energetically, combining different styles of music
Miles like I'm trying to get a flat stomach
I'm running hard and long like I'm trying to get in shape and lose weight
Like Wayne the personal trainer
Just like a personal trainer, I'm here to motivate and inspire you
My aim is perfect I'll fuck ya, period, like the reminder
My delivery is spot-on and precise, and I'll take you to another level of fun
I wish I could be, as cruel as you
I sometimes wish I had the ability to be as cold and uncaring as you
And I wish I could say, the things you do
I wish I could be as direct and bold as you
But I can't and I won't live a lie, no not this time
I won't pretend to be someone I'm not, and I won't hide behind a false persona anymore

A Sensory Superpower
As it turns out, getting chills from music is not as common as you might think. Researchers from USC released a study that suggests that only about 50 percent of people feel things like shivers, a lump in their throat, and goosebumps when they listen to music. What's more, those people might have very different brains than those who don't experience those feelings.
First, they gathered 20 people and had them listen to a selection of their favorite songs. Whenever they felt a chill, they pressed a button. All 20 were then given MRI scans — and the 10 that reported reactions were obvious standouts. Their brains turned out to have a much higher volume of fibers connecting their auditory cortex to the areas that process emotion.
More fibers mean that those two areas of the brain can communicate much more effectively. It also means that, because their emotional processing centers are beefier, those people are more able to experience extreme emotions.
A Feeling of Frisson
This study might shed a light on the causes of the phenomenon, but it's been well documented for years. Actually, it even has a name. The phenomenon of chills or goosebumps that come from a piece of music (or from any other aesthetic experience) is called frisson, and it's been one of the big mysteries of human nature since it was first described.
That's because even if we know the actual mechanism that causes frisson — a close connection to the emotional processing center — we don't know what purpose it could serve us. But other studies have suggested some potential benefits of this kind of behavior.
One report from 2007 found that individuals who experience frisson are more open to new experiences than others, and other studies described higher levels of creativity and intellectual curiosity. In other words, the appreciation of beauty is central to what makes us human, and frisson is just a super-charged version of that appreciation.
