Rolls

Album: GUN

I got these dreams

they feel real

like I’m not sleepin’

There’s a change comin’

There’s a change comin’

I see me

baskin’ in light in front

of all this screamin’

There’s a change comin’

There’s a change comin’

And in magazines

I see me and in my eyes the war I fought to reach ‘em

And people ask and people ask and people ask

what makes you think this ain’t just dreaming’?

 

I won’t stop ‘till I

got a car, it’s a rolls

got a mink coat see me in the front row

I gotta new watch, it’s a rolls

both my cuff links 24 carat gold

I hand my

girl a bag full of rolls

hundred dollar bills

go ‘head and buy the world

Oh, I’ve been a beggar honey

and now I’m made of money

 

Oh, I’ve been every kind of man

on my way to one

I was told— if parts of you rotten

cut them all off, you’ll do best they’re forgotten

And people been saying I changed

since we were young

And I say, them just roles that I got in

This person you’ve known is one step, I ain’t stoppin’

I ain’t no stone, I don’t freeze in place

I’m more that roamin’ beast on the range

The meteor, not the setting sun

I come in a roar of light just this once

And people ask and people ask and people ask

Why can’t you stay, be a photograph?

 

I won’t stop ‘till I

got a car, it’s a rolls

got a mink coat see me in the front row

I gotta new watch, it’s a rolls

both my cuff links 24 carat gold

I hand my

girl a bag full of rolls

hundred dollar bills

go ‘head and buy the world

Oh, I’ve been a beggar honey

and now I’m made of money

 

One day I’ll be made of money

At night I lay awake and hum it

It’s like I hear a choir from the future

from a time when I spend a lifetime of loot

up in a day

on my lady

in LA

And I ain’t stop to talk unless you 

pay me with some rolls

 

I won’t stop ‘till I

got a car, it’s a rolls

got a mink coat see me in the front row

I gotta new watch, it’s a rolls

both my cuff links 24 carat gold

I hand my

girl a bag full of rolls

hundred dollar bills

go ‘head and buy the world

Oh, I’ve been a beggar honey

and now I’m made of money
