ROLLING STONE Lyrics

[Intro]
(Ayy, somebody got a J I could light in this bitch?)

[Verse 1]
I'm a rolling stone (Stone)
I'm too wild for you to own
In a whip that's meant to speed (Phew, phew, phew)
If I hurt you, would you leave?
I learned the game from some heavyweights
Catching buses, makin' change from another play (Change)
I still got demons from my younger days
I wish I could shake 'em, but they follow me
I wish I could take it easy, but these fans watch
Ask my mama, I been hustlin' since the sandbox
I'm a rolling stone

[Chorus]
I'm sorry in advance if I let you down
I'm sorry in advance if I let you down

[Bridge]
Bitch, you just spilled Louis 13 on my McQueens
(Damn, back the fuck up)
I got all this pimp shit up in my genes, oh

[Verse 2]
Blame that on my mothеr
I can't go nowhere that's less than mе
Ask my lovers, I'm troubled
First I'm exciting then I'm gaslighting, make up your mind
I'm rich as fuck and I ain't nothing at the same time
People hate me and they love me at the same time (Damn, damn, damn)
I guess I'm everything and nothing at the same time

[Chorus]
I'm sorry in advance if I let you down (I'm a rolling stone)
I'm sorry in advance if I let you down
