Before The Rollie (Album Version|Explicit) - Ace Hood/Meek Mill

Before the rollie before the fame

Before the money before the game

Before them b**ches

Before they ever knew my name

Before the rollie before the rollie

Them times was hard I'm chasin' money

Before the rollie before the rollie

The same circle the same homies

My same niggas no new friends

Since day one ni**a no loose ends

Just a young ni**a outchea every day

I'm a get it by any means

That was just my mind frame

Before the Gucci and Louis

Before the Rollie dog I won't do it

They ni**a f**k with me when I was broke

You ain't gonna stunt with me when I do it

Talk is cheap gotta put in that work

Remember them days I was ridin' in the merk

No A/C cause the sh*t don't work

Plus no radio to make sh*t worse

I'da come a long way and they know it

F**k where you at it's about where you goin'

Can't sit around and wait for no money

Ain't no naw ni**a can't do it

Boy I did this sh*t for my niggas

Since day one I been a go getter

Now my money right and these hoes on me

Ho well go figure Hoodnation

Before the rollie before the fame

Before the money before the game

Before them b**ches

Before they ever knew my name

Before the rollie before the rollie

Them times was hard I'm chasin' money

Before the rollie before the rollie

The same circle the same homies

Ain't never had sh*t for' my dream

Ain't never sell no work to them fiends

Ain't never snitchin' and tell on my dogs

Wakin' up every day for that cream

Ni**a I was down and out in that field

So stressed out because of them deals

Ain't no kinda hope in my city

Most my homies dead or in jail

Every night I toss and I turn

Feelin' like the Devil all on my back

Still I'm praying times get better

Had a few thoughts sell in that pack

Boy my mom gon' cuss me out

Runnin' her blood pressure so high

When that money comin' in slow

It'll be a couple homies that rot

I'm that same ni**a from out of Deerfield

Ain't sh*t changed except a rap deal

Gotta live ni**a actin' funny

Now I know how niggas in the trap feel

Ya'll rather me broke than be f**ked up

And my same hood and those same chucks

I look back today throw prayers up

Now I never forget where I came from

Before the rollie before the fame

Before the money before the game

Before them b**ches

Before they ever knew my name

Before the rollie before the rollie

Them times was hard I'm chasin' money

Before the rollie before the rollie

The same circle the same homies

Before the rollie man it was cuffs

Hard times man sh*t was tough

I was told don't trust niggas

Be the main ones to come and hit you up

Still ridin' round like I ain't rich as f**k

Young niggas we clippin' up

Now I pull up on em like b**ch what's up

Before the rollie hoes fronted on me

Young niggas ballin'

F**k niggas hatin'

Before I had a rollie

I ain't have no patience

A ni**a ran up on me

B**ch a** situations

We cap'n gown you p**sy niggas ain't talkin' graduation

See there was something 'bout that Rollie when it touched my wrist

Something 'bout that Rollie when I f**ked your b**ch

Cause it caught her eye and she sucked my dick

She told you lies and you trust that b**ch

Like hol' up

Ya'll niggas hatin' on me

When all these bad b**ches waitin' on me

And all that sh*t you pray on me

I still kill niggas like shame on me

Before the rollie before the fame

Before the money before the game

Before them b**ches

Before they ever knew my name

Before the rollie before the rollie

Them times was hard I'm chasin' money

Before the rollie before the rollie

The same circle the same homies
