On A Roll
Scotty Dynamo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't even trip I got you covered like a placemat
Shorty keep on starin' I'm like can I have my face back
I can imagine you've won your share of pageants
Lay down like a carpet shorty I can play Alladin
My penmanship is baller, got the wordplay of a scholar
And I've got men insecure because their bank accounts are smaller
See her dancing in the spotlight steady throwing out her back and
All I see is cleavage I should call her Janet Jackson

She's on a roll
The way she drop it makin' profit down the poll
She make the people at the party lose control
The way she drop it makin' profit down the poll
Oh you can tell that primma donna's on a roll

She's so primma donna in her Dolce & Gabanna
Shorty I just wanna see you back it up like a Honda
Oh she chat it up and I appreciate the banter
Shorty's Puerto Rican so I couldn't understand her
I'm wildin' out you know my crew is straight orangutanin'
Never see me talkin' to a hoochie with her fusions hangin'
I'm fit to be the kind of lover you deserve
Met your boyfriend at the party he was serving out or d'oeuvres





Chorus x2
