Rollin
The Game Feat. Juice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
My grandma said I'll never change and she right
Y'all think that L.A. gang banging shit hype?
Well you finna' find out what the game be like
Will I ever change in this life?
My grandma said I'll never change and she right
Y'all think that L.A. gang banging shit hype?
Red rag on my rear view
No tint in the Porsche, see clear through
God screaming up out them speakers
So loud that a nigga can't hear you
Wake up to a diamond cross, I'm a Christian
Got a nigga feeling like Obama 'nem
Niggas shot out my windows, they jealous and envy
They spit on my 'Rari, they keyed up my Bentley
They went at my top dog like Ab-Soul and Kendrick
I said I'm a killa', god damn it I meant it
I said I sold crack, nigga bubbling skillets
At my grandma's house, I was selling work in it
And god bless her soul, she died
Back out the four, load up the five
Pop up the trunk, load up them pies
Aye 'Ye, ain't this how them niggas do it in the Chi?
Vice Lords, GD's
Crips, Bloods and Impala's on gold D's
Yesterday a nigga swore he was a man in the hood
Now he begging for his life on both knees
I'm a killer, no codees
Ask 40 Glocc, niggas don't know me
Got a problem blood, then come show me
I'm on Rosecrans ing them Kobe's
Got diamonds off in my Rollie
Granddaddy stuffed in my stogie
Motherfuck them Axel Foleys
Where I'm from, niggas shooting at the police
Man these fuck niggas got me screwed up
I'm like Papa Smurf in that blue truck
Red hat, red pants
Walking inside dreams with the kush in my hand - I'm
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Young nigga 15, broke, livin' the scene
Sawed off in my pants, 'bout to go make the lean
Finna' rob me a nigga who's money wasn't the same
Somebody gon' give it to me, or get one up in the brain
Mama used to stroke it just to feed me scraps
Every Saturday, it was YO! MTV raps
Got sick of looking at other niggas that ain't deserve it
So I followed my older brother to beat these traps
I ain't worried about the love, I've seen everything
The hood hot, like the devil had it off in his hands
Send a strap your way, I seen a couple of fans
Last pack, I took that and a couple of bands
If I ain't hustle to eat, I was doing that sippin' Screw
But they would give it to me, everyday I was paying dues
I was a young wild nigga missing a couple screws
In the hood, when I'm scared, only thing I'mma use, when I'm...
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Mane, hold up
Young and I leans with a cup full of lean, and a 4-0 tucked
No more sleep, gotta get more bucks, OG rolled up
Stakes are high, so I pray to God the folks don't roll up
Big sister told me I need to grow up
But I need that money, better not crumb me
Pockets fat as my codeine tummy
Trying to get blow like my nose was runny
I work for mine, you can't take that from me
Wrap it up, like Egyptian mummy
And have it ready when I roll on up
Stacking dough on up, from the floor on up
And I'm all through the hood like ice cream trucks, just rollin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Keep kush rolled, that dream I'm holding
In the candy Caddy' with with ninety molding
Bought a drop, put it in the shop
But everything I got, on that bitch stolen
Had a grill but couldn't afford the wheels
Had paint, but it wasn't candy
Kick endo to try and get that dough
Whole family know, so they couldn't stand me
Run and tell your mama, come get your son
Mama like damn, what the hell he done
Brother had bricks, but didn't give me shit
So when he went to the pen, I ain't send him shit
Mama at work, so I ran the house
Ray on lock, so now I'm the boss
Turn that face up like the Mary Jane
I was slanging 'caine, got us all kicked out
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
Rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin' them drugs up
From Compton, all the way to Chi-Town
Back on down to Houston, Texas baby
Trae The Truth, Z-Ro, Slim Thugga
Paul Wall, Common, Kanye West, and The Game
Jesus Piece
Either you got one, you want one
Or you bout to rob a nigga for one
So what it's gon' be nigga?
"Rollin" by The Game featuring Juice is a hip-hop track that portrays the rapper reflecting on his experiences in the street, the hustles he went through, and the price he had to pay as an advocate of the LA gang culture. The lyrics of the song carry a lot of weight, such as the opening lines, "Will I ever change in this life? My grandma said I'll never change and she right. Y'all think that L.A. gang banging shit hype? Well, you finna' find out what the game be like." What The Game suggests is that his grandma labeled him a "lifer." It can mean that once a person acclimates themselves to life in the hood, it's nearly impossible to escape it. He further connects that statement to how outsiders view gang-banging as something that's a trend or just for show, but they have no idea what it genuinely entails. Actions have consequences, and whatever one chooses to pursue in the game, there's no going back.
The Game goes ahead to shoutout to his hood symbols of a red rag on his rearview and tintless Porsche, which means he drives in the open where anyone can identify him. The way he connects with God, as he bangs his music so loud, "So loud that a n***a can't hear you," and how he declares his faith as a Christian, but still lives a life full of violence and the ills of society, shows conflicting views. It's like on one hand, he confesses to follow God, but, on the other, he does what he wants.
Juice comes in and raps about his life in the streets when he had no money to survive. He speaks about how he had to rob people to have something to eat, buy lean or invest any profits in the streets he made. His parents were not better off, and he had to work hard for everything he got. However, Juice is convinced that he can do better and that he will do better with the power of determination. He will hustle for the money he craves, and his hard work will pay off.
Overall, the song is a depiction of the rapper's journey through the streets, his struggles in the hood, the grinding, the gang-banging, and the consequences of their acts impacting both their families and community as a whole.

[Sample]
I'm gonna have a sweet life, sweetest life you've ever seen
And when the day is over, gonna go to sleep and I feel the greed
Momma can you hear me?
[Verse 1 - Juice]
I'm pushin a Cadillac man, it's black man
And I'm a black man, in a Cadillac man, see what I'm saying is?
Ain't no diamonds in the back, diamonds on my neck
D-Diamonds on my neck, D-Diamonds on my neck
I'm so fresh, so clean, edge sharper than a ginsu
Look at the soul of my Air 1's, see what I been through
Been through the struggle and drove through the fire
Kanye on the track, that nigga spittin' through the wire
I spit that pain rap, every chorus need a choir
Like feinds need suppliers, like Daytons to the wires
I'm rollin', rollin'
Turn my music up and keep rollin', rollin'..
[Hook - The Game]
Man, we just rollin', rollin'
Turn the music up, we just rollin', rollin'
Let the windows down and keep rollin', rollin'
Man, we just rollin', rollin'
Picture me rollin', rollin'
System on blast, just rollin', rollin'
Foot on the gas, we just rollin', rollin'
Man, we just rollin', rollin'
[Verse 2 - Juice]
I got my back on the wall like a hustler
Smokin' like a muffler, waiting for the customers
I got that that weight, that they push up state for
Feinds can't wait for, enemies hate for
Me to make that cake or drive through the state for
P-H-X, A-Z is what I came for
Rock my chain for, hooked up with Game for
Headed to the booth, shotgun in the Range for
I could make change more, and my shit bang more
Bitches screamin' my name when I open them Range doors
When my ribs was touchin', ain't nobody know 'em
So tell them niggas, picture me rollin'
[Hook - The Game]
Man, we just rollin', rollin'
Turn the music up, we just rollin', rollin'
Let the windows down and keep rollin', rollin'
Man, we just rollin', rollin'
Picture me rollin', rollin'
System on blast, just rollin', rollin'
Foot on the gas, we just rollin', rollin'
Man, we just rollin', rollin'
[Verse 3 - Juice]
Homie I'm just rollin', rollin', thinkin' 'bout the past
They said I would never last, so even if you trashed
Keep rollin', rollin', and I got a stashspot
Niggas is killin' so my stashspot, got a stashspot
Roll up the window, roll up the endo
Blow it out the sunroof, share it with my kinfolk
My niggas in the grave, my niggas behind bars
Man, there's too many of ya'll, but ya'll know who you are
Gangbangers in the hood, and they shootin' like stars
And the gangbangers I know don't wear shoes with the stars
They tie bandanas, and they shootin' out cars
So I had to turn it around, and start shootin' out bars
[Hook - The Game]
Man, we just rollin', rollin'
Turn the music up, we just rollin', rollin'
Let the windows down and keep rollin', rollin'
Man, we just rollin', rollin'
Picture me rollin', rollin'
System on blast, just rollin', rollin'
Foot on the gas, we just rollin', rollin'
Man, we just rollin', rollin'
[Outro - Juice]
Yeah, it's a Blackwall Street recording
We got the Juice now niggas
Haha, gone
