Rupee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Girl can't believe my eyes
I'm under pressure
And I'm hypnotized
Like a steamroller
Spinning round and round
Rotate your waist girl
[Chorus]
Steamroll your bumper round and round
Steamroll it when you hear de sound
Make everybody go insane
Shake it like a steamroller train
Shake your bonita
Bonita applebum
From left to right
Like a pendulum
Girl steamroll it
On the train track
Spin your waistline
And let me see you
[Chorus]
Chant
All aboard
Oh my lad
Steamroll it like a bungi cord
Bounce around den make it hard
Milkshake dem boys tuh the yard
When the whistle blows
Wine and stick touch your toes
Get low lips tight eyes closed
All de back bumper exposed
[Chorus: x 2]
The lyrics to Rupee's song "Steamroller" are centered around the sensual and hypnotic movements of a woman's body. The verses describe the singer's disbelief and admiration for the way the woman is moving her "bumpa" or behind, and how he is feeling the pressure of being under her spell. The chorus urges the woman to continue "steamrolling" her bumpa around and around to the beat of the music, and to make everyone go insane with her movements. The second verse mentions the girl's beauty ("Bonita") and encourages her to move her waistline like a steamroller on a train track. The chant at the end of the song adds a lyrical playfulness, inviting the listener to bounce around like a "bungi cord" and showing off one's own moves.
Overall, the lyrics are a celebration of the female body and its mesmerizing effect on others. The repeated use of the metaphor of a steamroller emphasizes the power and intensity of the woman's movements, as well as the unstoppable force of her sex appeal. The use of playful words and phrases like "Bonita applebum" and "milkshake dem boys tuh the yard" makes the song even more fun and upbeat.
