How We Roll
Loick Essie ft. Tanya Lacey Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Welcome, and that’s just how we roll)

Oh, fitted tee black jewelry
I know I stand out
I don’t need to try fully
I check the lime light if you don’t think you’ll get quicker
It’s like catch me if you can like some gingerbread… oh
I never ride solo

It’s me and my chick looking like slow mo
And we only roll through guns blazin'
So you don’t wanna roll with either me or my lady

Time after time
They try and prove me wrong
And nobody knows the way she saves me

We have a real top shotta'
Hotter than hotter
Boy I’m in, I look for no other
You know

You and me on our own
You should already know
It’s just me my baby oh oh
Me my baby oh
Back to back and reload
Pack our bags, hit the road
It’s just me my baby oh oh
Me my baby oh
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll

They say love can be deadly
I know this already
I know what I like
Stop trying to scare me
If only you knew
The things we’ve been through
Then maybe you would leave us both alone

So time after time
They try and prove me wrong
But nobody knows the way she saves me

We have a real top shotta'
Hotter than hotter
Boy I'm in, I look for no other
You know

You and me on our own
You should already know
It’s just me my baby oh oh
Me my baby oh
Back to back and reload
Pack our bags hit the road
It’s just me my baby oh oh
Me my baby oh
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll

And I swear
Wherever we go from here
We’ll be one til the sky falls down
Yeah

You and me on our own
You should already know
It’s just me my baby oh oh
Me my baby oh
Back to back and reload
Pack our bags hit the road
It’s just me my baby oh oh
Me my baby oh
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll
And that’s just how we roll

(Me and baby) (I don't want you to ever leave)
Me and my baby ooh

Overall Meaning

Loick Essien's "How We Roll" featuring Tanya Lacey is a song about confidence and love between two people who ride for each other no matter what anyone else says or does. The song describes the singers' style, with fitted black tees and jewelry complementing their confidence. They stand out naturally and are not faking it. They are always together, with the woman being the singer's "top shotta'" – the one who has his back and is hotter than anyone else. They are both on their own, and it is just the two of them against the world.

However, they also know that people judge them and think love can be deadly. The two protagonists have been through thick and thin together, but no one else knows what they have been through to make them a tight-knit couple. The rest of the world may think they know what's best, but the singers know that no one empathizes and cares about them as much as they care for one another.

Overall, the song is about the singer's love and loyalty for his woman, and nothing else matters. The chorus repeats that they ride on their own and that this is just how they roll.

Line by Line Meaning

Oh, fitted tee black jewelry
I don stylish clothes and accessories

I know I stand out
I am confident in myself and attract attention

I don’t need to try fully
I don't have to put in too much effort to be noticed

I check the lime light if you don’t think you’ll get quicker
I move fast and furious like a spotlight

It’s like catch me if you can like some gingerbread… oh
It's like a game of cat and mouse

I never ride solo
I always have my partner with me

It’s me and my chick looking like slow mo
We move elegantly and in sync

And we only roll through guns blazin'
We always make a grand entrance

So you don’t wanna roll with either me or my lady
You better stay away from us

Time after time
Again and again

They try and prove me wrong
They try to contradict my beliefs

And nobody knows the way she saves me
Only my partner truly understands and supports me

We have a real top shotta'
We are at the top of our game

Hotter than hotter
We are incredibly attractive and desirable

Boy I’m in, I look for no other
I am already content with what I have

You and me on our own
It's just the two of us

You should already know
You should be aware by now

It’s just me my baby oh oh
We are a united duo

Back to back and reload
We have each other's backs and support one another

Pack our bags, hit the road
We are always ready for an adventure

And that’s just how we roll
That's just our way of living

And I swear
I promise

Wherever we go from here
No matter where life takes us

We’ll be one til the sky falls down
We will always be united

Me and my baby ooh
Just me and my partner, forever
