"Roll Off Me" lyrics
"Roll Off Me"
Yeah, back in effect, let's go
Ahem, ay yo, everybody goes through feeling like
The walls is closing in on you and you just stress the hell out (yeah they do)
And you feel like you gon' explode, you know'm saying? (uh-huh)
This right here is for, all y'all to know that
I know what y'all going through man (yeah, yeah)
I feel it myself (yeah, yeah I do)
I could relate, yeah turn this one up
Sometimes life make you wanna attack and go off G
You wanna step back and I let it roll off me
Brooklyn, New York B, ain't nothing soft G
Yeah I get stressed but I let it roll off me
Flirting with the fame but I let it roll off me
They love it when I'm losing but I let it roll off me
Dirt on my name but I let it roll off me
Always keep it moving and I let it roll off me
Do it for my niggas with letters, let's set it off B
Cops don't protect us, protesters just get ignored B
Played out like musical theater with best support
The investors and bankers having sex in expensive orgies
I'm rapping on the corners like Abbey, Abdul and Common
Born when they was robbing the grave at Tutankhamen
Way before Bush the USA been bombing
'Cause whether ratchets or needles know the shooting ain't stopping
Niggas looting, we ain't copping a thing
And if I'm locked in the bing, a nigga not gonna sing
I got a lot of things on my mind, dollar signs, life on the line
What I write's so right for the time
The revelation like sight for the blind like when God cypher divine
Hand you lessons; or when you in the church having confession
Or when you kneeling on the pew, catching the Holy Ghost
Or the cult, so fanatic they think suicide's the only hope (no)
They used to ask you "Who ya master?" Now they ask you "Who your pastor?"
It's your allegiance that they truly after
They used to ask you "Who ya master?" Now they ask you "Who your pastor?"
It's your allegiance that they truly after
That make you wanna go off B
But I step back and I let it roll off me
Brooklyn, New York B, ain't nothing soft G
Yeah I get stressed but I let it roll off me
Talk the talk but to walk the walk is costly
Niggas got on they Game face like Black Wall Street
Every single move I make is ballsy
'Cause the shit it used to be a, silent movie now it's a talky
The Feds cheesing like Milwaukee when shit is Brew-in
When these niggas stage a coup for the president I'm a shoo-in
But, ain't no political aspirations I'm pursuing
I hate to ruin your dream but music is what I'm doing
I've touched more people in a verse than you do in 20 speeches
Whether state's blue like the water or redder than white people on sunny beaches
Sometimes I don't be understanding it
They looked at me and said that's why you the perfect candidate
Standing at the pulpit with a full clip
What I say real talk, turn around and walk away with your bullshit
I'm like breed, yo I ain't to be fucked with
Only write the realest, can't lie to the public
The sharp wick cut quick, killing 'em softly
They try to take me there but you could never force me
Brooklyn, New York B, ain't nothing soft G
Yeah I get stressed but I let it roll off me
Flirting with the fame but I let it roll off me
They love it when I'm losing but I let it roll off me
Dirt on my name but I let it roll off me
Always keep it moving and I let it roll off me
