Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could be anything you want
Can't we, huh?
Hey, hey, hey, hey
I'ma be that nigga you ride
I'ma be that nigga for real
I'ma be that nigga you wantI'ma be that nigga you feel
Rollin' with the top down, throw a couple bands out
Screaming, "Nothin' in life for free"
Gotta work hard if you wanna be somebody
On you and you and me (talk about it)
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Comin' down these streets
All eyes on me
Just wanted to be famous
I'ma be that nigga, I'ma be that nigga
Word to everything I'ma be that nigga
I'ma do it big, I'ma do it big
I can see it now, I can see the picture
You should take a photo, take the moment witcha
Autograph my name, make it that much realer
'Cause when I blow up, it's gon' mean something
Like a Michael Jordan rookie card in mint condition, whoa
You gon' look at me like gold
I'ma look at me like, "Yo, you're finally famous"
"They all know your name" like I walk with a name tag
And copy my swag like they walk with a sketch pad
Maybe it's 'cause I'm one of the best out
Around the town with some of the best style
All of the press'd out (hey)
Cameras flashing like Just Out
I'ma be that nigga you ride
I'ma be that nigga for real
I'ma be that nigga you want
I'ma be that nigga you feel
Rollin' with the top down, throw a couple bands out
Screaming, "Nothin' in life for free"
Gotta work hard if you wanna be somebody
On you and you and me (talk about it)
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Comin' down these streets
All eyes on me
Just wanted to be famous
All these nights I been schemin'
All these nights I ain't sleepin'
Man, I do it for the love
Just to see the sun rise and repeat it
Wouldn't change it for anything
Wouldn't change if I had a ring
Go hard like a diamond, already shinin'
Wheezy F, you can keep the bling
Blinded by bright lights in the spotlight
Ignite your whole life off of what I recite
Nas said it best, all I need is one mic
Spittin' that shit, then killin' the flow
Jump in the crowd
Ridin' the wave, feels like I'm surfin'
Can't turn me down, got fans in the crowd
And they all know my verses
I'ma be that nigga you ride
I'ma be that nigga for real
I'ma be that nigga you want
I'ma be that nigga you feel
Rollin' with the top down, throw a couple bands out
Screaming, "Nothin' in life for free"
Gotta work hard if you wanna be somebody
On you and you and me (talk about it)
Rollin', rollin', rollin'
Comin' down these streets
All eyes on me
Just wanted to be famous (famous, famous)
