Nipsey Hussle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Niggas look jealous, you gotta control it
Reachin' my quota, mixin' my soda
Feeling connected to God, tryna get closer
Steppin' on roshes, me in my locsters
Just tryna get over, tryna not to get swallowed by locus
Tryna to stay focused, kinda like moses
Like somebody chose us, this weight on my shoulders
I been to a poet
I been through the motions
I'm feelin' heroic, life is a dice game
And I dare you to blow it
You might get a stripe man, but that ain't gon' pay for the strollers
Its never enough to console it
Tell your dady you're soldier
She need you right now in this moment
Now dead on your back pushin' roses
To me I'm just carving a sculpter
The fine tune of my approach is
Doublin' back is an honour
The moment of truth is upon us
Call the promoters
Picture me rollin'
We and my friends not worried
Then we get stopped by the police
Gotta make it home to my baby
'Cause they say snakes goin' crazy
Gotta make it home to my baby
'Cause this days that save me
Gotta make it home to my baby (Hold up, yeah, look)
I bet I'mma make it home to my baby
I bet I'mma make it home to my baby
I say, I bet I'mma make it home to your baby
In "Picture Me Rollin" by Nipsey Hussle ft. OverDoz, the lyrics explain his success and the obstacles he's faced to achieve it. In the first verse, Nipsey talks about his achievements despite jealousy and envious looks from others. He's reaching his quotas, mixing soda, and feels connected to God while trying to get closer to Him. He's also trying to stay focused and get over the challenges that come his way, and he compares his position to that of Moses. Nipsey has emotions but keeps going, and despite going through tough situations, he still feels like a hero. Life is like a dice game, and he dares others to blow it, which may lead them to get a stripe, but that's not enough to pay for strollers or console you. In the second verse, Nipsey talks about the police stopping him and his friends, and how they have to make it home to their loved ones, specifically their baby. He knows snakes are going crazy, but he still hopes to make it back to his baby.
