letra de rollin - jones (rap)
(intro)
it’s so wrong
it’s so wrong
it’s so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
so wrong, so wrong, so wrong
[hook]
everybody knows it but n-body wanna say it
man i swear this song is jammin
but the radio won’t play it
i just do not understand
why my people still ain’t free
doing twenty-five to life
getting shaded for some trees
while they rollin, rollin, rollin
rollin, rollin, rollin
rollin, rollin, rollin
they got my people hopeless-
while they rollin, rollin, rollin
rollin, rollin… all they talk about is-
roll up roll up, all they talk about is-
roll up roll up
[verse]
once upon a time in a land where you live
there’s a man that got taken away from his kids
for doing what he thought he had to do for his family
tryna keep the food on the table understand me
he never was violent, he never sold drugs
he never even had a speeding ticket but uh-
one day that man got fired from his job-
after six good years just trying to provide
now he’s got to think about how to survive
found out that his wife had a man on the side
she left him with all the bills and two children
depression and pills, almost k!lled him
couldn’t find a job cause the market was garbage
constantly thinking “my babies are starving”
but as a man gotta make this money
so he went to talk to him homie one hunnid
hunnid knew the block cause he had a small business
hooked up homie with a pound of that wisdom
steady clientele and a real good product
had him doing good til the day he got locked up
by the same cop that set up show just about two blocks
from the shakedown spot
even though he bought from him all the time
now who you really thing “dropped a dime”
shop owner last year made one million
gets to eat dinner every night with his children
other man got three hots and a cot-
never got to see his son take the game winning shot
or help his daughter get dressed for prom
kids barely recognize dad when they saw him
and you tell me this is just a song-
but even stevie could see this wrong and-
[hook]
everybody knows it but n-body wanna say it
man i swear this song is jammin
but the radio won’t play it
i just do not understand
why my people still ain’t free
doing twenty-five to life
getting shaded for some trees
while they rollin, rollin, rollin
rollin, rollin, rollin
rollin, rollin, rollin
they got my people hopeless-
while they rollin, rollin, rollin
rollin, rollin… all they talk about is-
roll up roll up, all they talk about is-
roll up roll up
[verse]
i got beef with the system
i ain’t talkin ’bout eatin
they hemmed him up for trees last winter
so i will not believe in
all the lies they’ve been selling
tryna tell us we’re equal
i don’t buy it ’cause the math ain’t-
adding up for my people
you tryna tell me for murder
that you can get paid vacation
but simply tryna ease your mind-
makes you a threat to the nation?
man i’m losing my patience
because of all this malpractice
i’ve been ’bout ready to flip out
and i ain’t talking gymnastics
yo forgive me for spazzing
but it’s hurting my soul
to see that tax money’s wasted
while football coaches do blow
see we got 99 problems
and this shouldn’t be one-
but i’m a big pill to swallow
so open up ’cause i’m coming… bang
[hook]
everybody knows it but n-body wanna say it
man i swear this song is jammin
but the radio won’t play it
i just do not understand
why my people still ain’t free
doing twenty-five to life
getting shaded for some trees
while they rollin, rollin, rollin
rollin, rollin, rollin
rollin, rollin, rollin
they got my people hopeless-
while they rollin, rollin, rollin
rollin, rollin… all they talk about is-
roll up roll up, all they talk about is-
roll up roll up
