Tuna Roll
Kid Ink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Business as usual
Money on my mind I can feel it in my cuticle
Fuck the 9 to 5 wasn't made for a cubicle
Niggas know I'm raw-tuna roll

You know what it is, Kid Ink up in this bitch
Hear that errr smell the scent, bitch I'm on, all in
One hit'll leave a nigga's nose twitchin' like Bewitched
So what I'm smokin on, I swear to God I'm floatin' in a drift
Alumni we the illest, sicker than Contagion
All up in your hood like my niggas work at Kragen
Know that L.A. is the city but it look like we from Asia
Say I don't be in my city? Who the fuck is you fugazin'

It go Peter picked them peppers, nigga, I just picked them hoes out
Swimmin' in the money, how I'm livin', boathouse
I dont need a floaty cause im sittin' on a cloud
Tell the world kiss my ass head up look at me now bitch!
Back on immense, stack on stack im rackin' it in
Swear that they ain't fuckin' with me, talkin' all that abstinence
Money 'round, I'm in the center like a centerfold
Yeah these niggas know I'm raw tuna roll

Batter up, I'm outta here
Find me in the cut like aloe vera
Im the man in this bitch you just Tyler Perry
See me throwin' money in the sky til' I'm outta air
Sorry your honor but I had to kill 'em
Niggas think they hard but they softer than pillows
And I'm high off a pill in the buildin' like dealers
Pissin' off the tenants give a fuck bout your feelings

Okay, snapback, hatback
Smokin' on that loud pack
Blow it to the ceilin', look like bombs over Baghdad
Bitch I'm worth a milli, even more before the taxes
Im the realest on the atlas you can go and ask the masses
Hold up, have a taste
You ain't gotta go to outer space




You can see the stars baby, welcome to the show
Yeah these niggas know im raw, tuna roll!
