Rollin
KiD..CuDi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey look, since 92 came out the womb
My light was shining through
Mama knew for miracles
There's never perfect timing too
Tiny dude doctor said I wasn't crying too
I was just mumbling head shaking
That's just what rhymers do
A nigga came up in the city perfect climate too
Niggas confused like why that niggas always rhyming flus
Sick with it a slick kid with a big fitted
Rapping in my room my parents asking
What I'm trying to do
I always knew, if I kept rapping on that paper
Hits would come in second nature
Like a nigga when he's tying shoes
I've improved, used to dream about the stu
Now they handing me they keys
That's why I'm in a DJ Khaled mood

Rollin rollin' rollin' through my city like a joint
If you ain't making money motherfucker what's the point
What's the point
Motherfucker what's the point, if you ain't making money
Motherfucker what's the point

Rollin rollin' rollin' through my city like a joint
If you ain't making money motherfucker what's the point
What's the point yeah, what's the point yeah
What's the point yeah, what's the point yeah
Yeah yeah

What you know about a nigga like this
Pull up to the stu in the morning
Trying to get a couple racks while you niggas sleeping
Niggas cheeping, motherfuckers still yawning
Ain't no time to waste tryna get the cake
Man I gotta get a Roley with a diamond face
Tryna get ma place in the game nigga gotta chase for it
Big crib gotta pay for it, money bag nigga never late for it

Yeah slick to the KID
Been around the block like since 03
Funny how niggas never heard bout me
Next nigga coming outa MOZ (That's facts)
Run niggas on the M.I.C that's rap, no cap
Pops told me get that degree, I got that OG now
Let me proceed to get some more green
More cheese, yes please
Next year, new crib, more fees, that flow be sick need morphine
Nigga bars on bars protein
Who ever told you rappers ain't shit
Money coming in its all been legit
Got no suit and I'm still getting rich, bitch

Rollin rollin' rollin' through my city like a joint
If you ain't making money motherfucker what's the point
What's the point
Motherfucker what's the point, if you ain't making money
Motherfucker what's the point

Rollin rollin' rollin' through my city like a joint
If you ain't making money motherfucker what's the point
What's the point yeah, what's the point yeah




What's the point yeah, what's the point yeah
Yeah yeah
