Roll
jon-rae and the river Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Live so fast, I never take a pause (oh, woah)
No more talk, we're kicking down the doors
I wouldn't trade this life for anything, it wouldn't be the same (same)
Everybody saw me taking off (taking off)
Fuckin' what they say, party hard (party hard)
Everyone around me is rock 'n roll hall of fame

We're the ones in charge now, who are y'all?
Looking at this chick like, 'Where we goin'?'
If you're not a ten, you can never get in my car
Jump out of the cab, tell her let my hand go (woo)
Diamonds everywhere and they dance like disco
Rubber bands pop, that's how I let my cash go
Need a wristband, bad bitch at my shows
Standing on the stage like Axl Rose
If you can see my eyes, then you're way too close
Baby, I'm the one that had a scandal
I don't play the bass but I keep the band goin'

Live so fast, I never take a pause (oh, woah)
No more talk, we're kicking down the doors
I wouldn't trade this life for anything, it wouldn't be the same (same, yeah)
Everybody saw me taking off (taking off)
Fuckin' what they say, party hard (party hard)
Everyone around me is rock 'n roll hall of fame (rock 'n roll hall of fame)

I don't need a Wraith to see the stars
I look into the mirror, there they are
No, I'm not Shawn Michaels but I'm breaking hearts
And the way I'm living, it's so rated R
Everyone 'round me fillin' up they cup
Smile for the camera, middle finger up
Look at my mouth and you gon' see a blunt
I might be leanin' like I need a crutch
If he a hater, I'ma let him hate
The energy negative, I stay away
25/8 I be up for the cake
25/8 I be up, boy
We takin' trips over the border
I got two girls in my bed and they bored
I'm feelin' pain, I don't know how to show it
Put on my chain and it feel like it's snowing
Ear Drummer Records, we the bang
Keep a lil' hit on the charts and they know it

Live so fast, I never take a pause (oh, woah)
No more talk, we're kicking down the doors
I wouldn't trade this life for anything, it wouldn't be the same (same)
Everybody saw me taking off (taking off)
Fuckin' what they say, party hard (party hard)
Everyone around me is rock 'n roll hall of fame

Road rage in the Lamb' like a Dodge Durango
3 chains on, yeah, goin' Django
Ten days on the road, two days in the same clothes
Party so hard, I'm immune to hangovers
Hardy Boy, on God, jumpin' off the top rope
Me, I showboat, them, they do the utmost
Love her then I'm gone, I'm a rolling stone
Flexin' what I have, young nigga macho

Jump out of the cab, tell her let my hand go (woo)
Diamonds everywhere and they dance like disco
Rubber bands pop, that's how I let my cash go
Need a wristband, bad bitch at my shows

Live so fast, I never take a pause (oh, woah)
No more talk, we're kicking down the doors
I wouldn't trade this life for anything, it wouldn't be the same (same)
Everybody saw me taking off (taking off)




Fuckin' what they say, party hard (party hard)
Everyone around me is rock 'n roll hall of fame
