Rolla-D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was driving my tank was on E
Brodie stressed so he rollin the leaf
And I swear that nobody believed
Tell me baby like what do you know
You can go head look deep in my soul
Different week but these ain't different clothes
Who know me
I'll do this shit on my own
I'm steady provin em wrong
People be asking what's wrong
But does it matter what's wrong
Cause if you can't change it then I'd rather not
I remember my pops was in jail on that cot
I den been through it all just to be at the top
I den been through it all just to be at the top
Just leave me alone
Rather be in my zone
I don't even know what love is
And baby I'm grown
They be saying I've grown
Just a kid from the tone
I don't really know what love is
But I'll make you moan
No one ever showed me what love is
I don't really know what love is
No one ever showed me what love is
Tell me shawty like what do you see
I was driving my tank was on E
Brodie stressed so he rollin the leaf
And I swear that nobody believed
Tell me baby like what do you know
You can go head look deep in my soul
Different week but these ain't different clothes
Who know me
I swear nobody know
In "Illusion" by Rolla-D, the lyrics delve into the artist's personal experiences and emotions, exploring themes of self-discovery, resilience, and the complexities of love. The song opens with the artist questioning what others perceive when they look at him, highlighting a sense of misunderstanding and disbelief from those around him. Driving a car with an empty tank symbolizes the feeling of being depleted or running on empty, while his friend rolling a leaf to cope with stress represents seeking solace in vices.
Rolla-D expresses a sense of isolation and a struggle to be understood, emphasizing that nobody truly knows him. Despite this, he asserts his determination to prove others wrong and overcome obstacles on his own. The mention of his father in jail reflects a difficult upbringing and the challenges he has faced in life. The repetition of the line "I don't really know what love is" suggests a lack of understanding or experience with love, perhaps due to a lack of positive examples or guidance.
The chorus further emphasizes the artist's desire for solitude and a sense of self-identity, as he prefers to be alone in his own zone. While he acknowledges that people perceive him as "grown," he still sees himself as just a kid trying to navigate life. The mention of making someone moan implies a superficial understanding of love and intimacy, highlighting his lack of true emotional connection.
Overall, "Illusion" delves into Rolla-D's personal struggles, the walls he has built around himself, and his search for a genuine connection with love and understanding.
