If you don't know, it's gon' show
Real recognize real nigga
Whatever I spend, hustle too big
I'll get it again
Women pretend (Tell you they love you)
I don't want to hear, go where you've been
I know how to win, whatever I lend
I'll get it again rollin around with mills
I'm rollin around with mills (BWA)
Don't want you to love me
I don't want to love you anymore
Rollin around with mills
R-rollin around with mills
I don't want to love you
Don't want you to love me anymore
Rollin around with mills
R-rollin around with mills
Don't want you to love me anymore
Don't know how to stand down
All we do is stand out
Pockets, rubber band out
I don't do no hand outs
Shots fired, man down boomboomboomboom
Lay him sound
She a stripper, I'mma trick her
Get her to my trap house (kill her)
Make her tap out finish, kick her ass out
Swear to God i can't get caught up slipping
With my pants down iDGT!I don't get tired
You should know what that's bout
Pants sagging, Gold medallion
Pray that we don't pass out
Whatever I spend, hustle too big
I'll get it again
Women pretend (Tell you they love you)
I don't want to hear, go where you've been
Hustle too big (BWA)
I know how to win, whatever I lend
I'll get it again rollin around with mills
I'm rollin around with mills (BWA)
Don't want you to love me
I don't want to love you anymore
Rollin around with mills
R-rollin around with mills
I don't want to love you
Don't want you to love me anymore
Rollin around with mills
R-rollin around with mills
Don't want you to love me anymore
Hold up, I want stand up in they chest
What up? Cut up, bandanas on hammer
Rest in peace Big Hammer
I was supposed to play for the Panthers
But shoulder played in the slammer
Bunch of problems, no answers
Lee Lucas coming home
I can't wait till you get out
Me and Nook, Range Rover rugged
Day that you get out i go mad, show my ass
I'm supposed to be somebody
I don't notice or nobody
Fouling parties, uninvited
All my haters they don't like it
Keep your girl up, unexcited
The lyrics to The Holidays's song "Round and Round" seem to express a sense of determination and resilience in the face of challenges. The repeated assertion of "whatever I lend, I'll get it again" highlights the singer's confidence in their ability to overcome obstacles and come out on top. They are aware of the duplicity of others, particularly women who pretend to love them, but they have grown weary of such insincere emotions and no longer want to receive or give love in return. Instead, they choose to focus on their own hustle and success, rolling around with "mills" (presumably money), and not relying on anyone else.
The second verse introduces a more confrontational tone, with references to violence and a disregard for handouts. The singer boasts about their strength and stamina, refusing to be caught off guard or taken advantage of. They wear their pants sagging and a gold medallion, symbolizing a certain level of status and confidence. The lyrics also touch upon past mistakes and missed opportunities, perhaps alluding to a life that could have been different had they not been incarcerated or faced other setbacks. Despite these challenges, the singer eagerly anticipates the release of a friend named Lee Lucas and expresses a desire to celebrate and assert their own importance.
