Roll Wid Us Lyrics
Year of Release: 2006
Verse 1
- It's my time like it or not gotta ride
- Can't fight,
- this thing'll take you with it like a landslide
- My mind spitting rhymes refined as old wines
- No games since age 5 I hold mine
- Never fell for the spells
- they tell in this world
- I read Malcolm, you was learning to spell
- I took exams early with the geeks in the school
- Opened a business,
- you were still chasing your balls
- I spent my teens sticking but I'm one of
- Britain's best mathematicians
- Official, I got the certificate
- So however you want it kid
- We could do scholarship politics
- or the opposite,
- War with hollow tips
- No supathug, just I don't fear, why would I?
- You bleed like me and breathe the same air
- I got a purpose on this earth
- and I ain't ready to go
- So if I gotta send you first then let it be so
Hook
- Roll wid us or get rolled over *3
- It's time now the wait is over
- Roll wid us or get rolled over *3
- It's time now the wait is over
Verse 2
- It's bigger than the music
- it's more like a movement
- A unit a trueness spreading like rumours
- They foolish, say I can't do it they doubt
- Cos we acorns now
- Just watch out for the tree that sprouts
- When it does, remember I told you
- I'm going from local to global
- Poor and hopeful
- From glueing back shoes
- cos they showing my toes through
- To owning shoe companies
- and yards on the coastal
- If you real grab on, I'm taking the fam with me
- But hold on tight cos we movin real swiftly
- Fakes can't stop my flight
- Not your life that's like
- trying to fight atomic war with a knife
- Fight like mike with control not physically
- If ignorance is bliss that explain my misery
- I'm clear in my vision b, solve your mystery
- Compete with me you get whitewashed like
- black history
Hook
- Roll wid us or get rolled over *3
- It's time now the wait is over
- Roll wid us or get rolled over *3
- It's time now the wait is over
Verse 3
- It's not all gravy, man dem is shady
- Tings is crazy but that don't phase me
- It's not all gravy, man dem is shady
- Tings is crazy but that don't phase me
- Get yours, there's only one life to live
- You gotta feed your kids, you gotta eat real big
- Young soldier you can do whatever you want to
- And no one out there can stop you
- Not sure just watch me for practice
- In these board meetings
- taking cheese off crackers
- You actors are not factors, I see the bluff
- Cos you sell crack
- it does not mean that you're tough
- It's the matrix and it's blatant you paper thugs
- are not ready yet
- For getting unplugged
- Grown man still talking like
- You know who I am, where I'm from'
- Bredren what the f**k are you on?
- Telling the world who you shot
- And what are you earning,
- When you get popped that will not stop it from burning
- So it's worthless, you gots to be a soldier
- Watch me grind
- You'll understand it as you get older
- Nothing pretty but when I do things the job's over
- Never stick at that critical moment, I'm potent
- I'm focused, you jokers can't see me
- I feel like a marksman at point blank
- It is too easy
