[Intro-lude]
(Montell, can you get in?)
(Can you ball, Montell?)
You got game?
(Yeah, I got game)
Okay, buddy
(Okay)
I know he ain't got no game
[Intro]
From the Westside to the Eastside
From the Northside to the Southside
I got good dues if you like the rules
I said I got good dues
Oh, oh, oh-oh, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah ('94, '94, '94)
[Verse 1]
The sun comes up in my neighborhood
I scratch my nuts, and man, it sure feels good
I'm leanin' in the corner like I'm barely alive
'Cause I remember a time when I didn't have a ride
Always in the passenger seat
And always next to last when the honeys we would meet
But now that things have changed, slightly re-arranged
I must admit, it's kinda strange
To be walkin' down the 'Shaw with my big black boots
In my happy Nappy wear, and my Karl Kani suits
I got a big truck, it's parked up the block, and
I see you ladies jockin', yeah, you're takin' stock and
Now that I have your attention, did I mention
I got back in L.A., uh, it's in my CD player
The days of old when I used to get my stroll on
Are now long gone
[Chorus]
'Cause I gotta get my roll on
I've got to get mine
Don't you know it's time
I gotta get my roll on
Said I gotta get my roll on
I've got to get mine
Don't you know it's time
I gotta get my roll on
[Verse 2]
Now check it
I'm sitting in my ride
And all the honeys all look inside
And see what's going on
'Cause a brotha got a telephone
They roll up slow, but they have to squint
Because my windows have a real dark tint
To keep these hoochies steady starin'
Tryin' to see what a nigga is wearin'
My license plate says "Swing"
And you know they're thinkin' crazy things
About chandeliers and ice cream bars
And sick sick brothas and the big black cars
But hold on tight, my dear
'Cause Monty got speakers out to here
I'll have you shakin' your head like you're losin' control
Because I gotta, I gotta, I gotta (Roll)
[Chorus]
Gotta get my roll on
I've got to get mine
Don't you know it's time
I gotta get my roll on
I said I gotta get my roll on
I've got to get mine
Don't you know it's time
I gotta get my roll on
[Verse 3]
I'm at 'Shaw and King, I checks my rearview mirror
A nigga like Monty needs to see a little clearer
Then I hear a honey honkin' at my Rover
She says "Pull over," so I pull over
Out jumps my ride and I go to the curb
My jib to her, I attempts to serve
She say she likes me, she's jockin' my crew
So tell me what the hell am I supposed to do
She's givin' me love, she's givin' me love
So I write my phone number on a dub
And then I pass it through the window, it's back inside
'Cause all of my niggas like to ride, yeah
I might make her my girl
'Cause she say she wanna take me to the top of the world
But I don't know, I think she better hold on
'Cause a brotha like Monty has gotta get his roll on
[Chorus]
I've got to get mine
Don't you know it's time
I gotta get my roll on
Said I gotta get my roll on
I've got to get mine
Don't you know it's time
I gotta get my roll on
[Outro]
O.G. gotta get his roll on
Paul Stewart gotta get his roll on
If I'm talkin' to your girl, you better hold on
You know I gotta get my roll on
P.M. gotta get they roll on
My brother Mark gotta get his roll on
Larry Love has gotta get his roll on
You know I gotta get my roll on
B-Low gotta get his roll on
T.M. gotta get his roll on
If I'm liftin' weights I get my swole on
You know I gotta get my roll on
I gotta get mine, I gotta get mine
(Don't you know that I gotta get my roll on)
Said I gotta get mine, gotta get mine
(Gotta get my roll on)
Russell Simmons gotta get his roll on
Lyor gotta get his roll on
Def Jam has gotta get their roll on
Power Moves gotta get their roll on
And Monty gotta get his roll on
[Outro-lude]
You know why I can tell Montell?
'Cause you don't walk like a ball player
You walk just like "Yay, I'm happy!"
You know?
But I know he can sing, though
The album, the boy's album is nice
