Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah, clear enough for ya?
Yeah, why **** look mad?
Y'all supposed to be happy I'm free
Y'all **** look like y'all wanted me to stay in jail, ho bustas
[Verse 1]
Picture me rollin' in my 500 Benz
I got no love for these ****, there's no need to be friends
They got me under surveillance, I swear somebody be tellin'
Know there's dope bein' sold, but I ain't the one sellin'
Don't want to be another number
I gotta puff a gang of weed to keep from goin' under
The Federales wanna see me dead, **** put prices on my head
Now I got two Rottweilers by my bed, I feed 'em lead
Now I'm released, how will I live?
Will God forgive me for all the dirt a **** did to feed kids?
One life to live, it's so hard to be positive
When **** shootin' at your crib
[Verse 2]
Mama, I'm still thuggin', the world is a war zone
My homies is inmates and most of them dead wrong
Full grown, finally a man
Just schemin' on ways to put some green inside the palms of my empty hands
Just picture me rollin'
Flossin' the Benz on rims that isn't stolen
My dreams are censored, my hopes are gone
I'm like a fiend that finally sees when all the dope is gone
My nerves is wrecked, heart beatin' and my hands is swollen
Thinkin' of the G's I'll be holdin', picture me rollin'
[Chorus]
Can you see me now?
Oh, picture me rollin'
Move to the side a little bit so you can get a clear picture, can you see it?
Picture me rollin'
Picture me rollin'
Yeah, ****
Aye, but peep how my **** Syke do it, guess who's back?
[Verse 3]
I got ki's comin' from overseas
Cost a **** two hundred G's
I'm a street commando, Nino for example
This lavish lifestyle is hard to handle
So I got to floss 'cause I'm more like a boss player
Thug branded to be a woman-layer
So many player haters, imitators steady swingin'
Make me wanna start back bangin'
[Verse 4]
So I'm caught up in the game, dress code changed
Packin' forty Glocks, contain 'em or rearrange
All that jealousy and envy comin' from my enemies
While I'm sippin' on Remy
In front of black Lexus, Chevy's on the roam
'96, big body, sittin' on chrome
As we head up out the zone, stone-facin' is on
You can admire but don't look too long
I'm livin' a dream with triple beams and my pockets bulgin'
It's hard to imagine, picture me rollin'
[Chorus]
Picture, picture me rollin'
Picture me rollin'
We hear you, picture me rollin'
Picture me
[Verse 5]
Hmm, I gots to get the fuck up in it, formulate a caper
'Cause a **** straight sufferin' from lack of havin' paper
My bitch finna have a bastard, see?
So I need to hit a lick, drastically
I see some ballin' ass **** and they slippin' in my spot
And uh, diggin' the plots, chicken in the pot, Pac
[Verse 6]
We caught 'em sleepin', he didn't peep you **** creepin'
This how we do it every weekend, and I dump the masks
It's time to count the profit
CPO, we got the bomb spot, ****, time to clock it
I'll get the liquor and you can get the females
This crooked shit that we inflictin' gettin' street sales
[Verse 7]
Move smooth as a motherfucker, me and my nine
I'm cool as a motherfucker, I'ma get mine
Now we satisfied, got the pockets on swollen
Boss Hogg and this Pac ****, picture us rollin'
[Chorus]
Picture me rollin'
Picture me
Picture me rollin'
[Outro]
Y'all ready for me?
Picture me rollin', roll call
You know there's some motherfuckers out there I just could not forget about
I wanna make sure they can see me
[Outro]
Number one on my list, Clinton Correctional Facilities
All you bitch-ass COs
Can you **** see me from there?
Ballin' on y'all punk ass, picture me, rollin', baby
Yeah, all them **** up in them cell blocks
I told y'all **** when I come home, it's on
That's right, ****
Picture me rollin'
[Outro]
Oh, I forgot, the DA
Yeah, that bitch had a lot to talk about in court
Can the ho see me from here? Can you see me, ho?
Picture me rollin'
[Outro]
And all you punk police, can you see me?
Am I clear to you?
Picture me rollin', ****, legit
Free like OJ, all-day
You can't stop me
You know I got my **** up in this motherfucker
Manute, Pain, Syke, Bogart, Mopreme
It's sad dog, it's a'ight
Can you picture us rollin'?
[Outro]
Can you see me, ho?
Is y'all ready for me?
We up out this bitch
Any time y'all wanna see me again
Rewind this track right here, close your eyes
And picture me rollin'
