@theprofessor,
ROLL ME AROUND
(Inspired by "I Gave You Power" by Nas)
[Intro]
I don't know what is wrong with people these days
It seems like they all want to use me for whatever they like
However they like and wherever they like
Push me around, drive me to the limit
And use me for their own show
Like I'm some sort of object, like .... I'm a car
Yeah, that's it, it's like I'm a car
Listen
[Verse 1]
I'm not made in a womb, I'm assembled in the factory
And as I'm born, I have a strange body strength attached to me
It's like I'm a robot - well, I'm made of heavy metal
Moved all the time without a break, I can't even rest or settle
I'm not even human, just a machine that's being used every day
whether for pleasure or pain, simple and plain
I kill people whenever they get in my way
Shine my light so bright that it gives them a strain
But why the **** am I doing these things?
Is it because of the coolness it brings?
Whenever a gangsta sits in me, others think that dude is a king
He has one hand on me, while the other shows his jewellery and bling
While my nose and tail stick out, so does his tongue
Slicking his hair back and forth, blowing a hole through his lungs
Every time he brings me round, the girls show him some love
Hop at the back of me, and as I recline, they're blowing some drugs
Check it
[Hook: x2]
All they want to do is roll me around
Leave me in a bad place while they stroll in town
Wherever I go everybody's always holding me down
Pushing me to the limit, until I'm thrown in the pound
[Verse 2]
Every year, they're always taking advantage
and using my speed as an excuse to show off
They never find time to cool off
They're Lucifers, wickedly driving me off of the rails
Now I have enemies on my back, they're hot on my trail
Soon as they pull me over, the first thing they shove is my tail
Open and close me up and check all my papers before I sail
but I'm treated as an everyday object
I CAN'T object, regardless of the heart that I possess
and that heart is in the form of an engine
Every day, I get wrecked and treated like medicine
I'm the source of their adrenalin
They turn me every which way, causing a lot of recklessness
Veer me here there and everywhere
They don't give a **** if I get smashed, they don't care
I'm the sportswear that they rock every year
And I don't get a word in edgeways, now ain't that fair?
[Hook: x2]
[Verse 3]
Like a prostitute, they treat me like an escort
They use me for private hire like I'm a sex broad
And why do they always put speakers on my back?
Big sub-woofers with R&B beats in that
All of a sudden, I'm a ******* jukebox machine
It's like travelling back in time to the 1950's
Everybody's screaming soon as Elvis plays through the amplifier
This is a regular job, doesn't the gang retire?
I can't hear myself on, I think my wagon's tired
Sounds like this make the hearing of a man retire
But I'm a metal machine, a house on wheels
that rolls when a brother steps in, and I don't get to chill
[Hook]
