Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Feel it slow)
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Up and down, Up and down, this is how my life has gone
Something like a roller coaster
Up and down, Up and down, this is how my life has gone
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Up and down, round and round, this is what you mean to me
All the time on my mind, yeah that's what it seem to be
Long as I fall in love
When I see your face, when I see your face
Sometimes I wonder why
How I gave you them butterflies
You don't want them other guys
(You don't want them other guys)
I roll up, I show you love
Hold up, you know what's up
Go up and I come back down
Something like a roller coaster
Up and down, round and round, life is like a merry go
Here we are, what's it now
Shit, I be like there we go
Who you with, where you at, asking me like where you go
There she is, that's my girl
Shit, I be like there she go
I don't really think I'm ballin'
God damn, but you got it
I don't really think you heard me when I told you, that you got it
But I promise you can't knock me down
Hell yeah we gotta stop it now
Life with you is like a roller coaster and I think it's time we drop it now
Can someone explain
The S in my name
Stands for the savior
Blessing the game
Stress on the brain
From the pressure and pain
I'm just trying not get arrested again
But wait, let me spell out the story
And get it straight
Got no time for the people that tried to hate
Gotta lawyer that nigga would beat the case
No matter what you accuse or try to allegate
Cause what's the point of watching life fly by?
Got friends that hate they job
The just wanna get sky high
And honestly it feels like yesterday
That I shared the stuff with you cause you were my girl
But life is a like a roller coaster
The song Roller Coaster by Yonas feat. OCD is about the ups and downs in life and the rollercoaster-like emotions of a relationship. The chorus repeatedly mentions the comparison to a roller coaster, emphasizing the instability and unpredictability of life. The first verse is about the singer's romantic feelings, describing how seeing the object of their affection can feel like a tumultuous ride, giving them "butterflies." The second verse focuses more on the singer's life in general, comparing it to a "merry go" and emphasizing the randomness of events and emotions.
In addition to the overall theme, the song also touches on a few other topics. The bridge briefly discusses the difficulty of dealing with stress and avoiding legal trouble. The final lines of the song mention the passage of time and how quickly life can seem to pass by.
One of the interesting things about this song is that it was actually a remix of an earlier Yonas song called Roller Coaster Love. The original song had a slightly different melody and lyrics, but the chorus was the same. The remix version with OCD took the song in a more rap/hip-hop direction.

Yonas you are a serious inspiration to people, you know what some people have been through and you know how to write about it. When they hear the song they can relate to, you give them hope, you speak in a meaningful tongue.
