[English]

I just want a Rollie, Rollie, Rollie with a dab of ranch

I already got some designer to hold up my pants

I just want some ice on my wrist so I look better when I dance

Have you lookin' at it, put you in a trance

I just want a Rollie, Rollie, Rollie with a dab of ranch

I already got some designer to hold up my pants

I just want some ice on my wrist so I look better when I dance

Have you lookin' at it, put you in a trance

Yeah, yeah, yeah

All I ever wanted was a Rollie, Rollie

All I ever wanted was a Rollie, Rollie

Cooler than a snowman with the ice all on me

Now your chick all on me, now your chick all on me (she on me)

My Rollie don't tick tock, it just glide

Keep starin' at it and you might go blind

I be movin' clean, I don't even try

All I see is bands, bands, I spy

Yeah, dat way

Now your chick all on me, now your chick all on me (she on me)

Blue face Rollie, red face Rollie, ayy

Baby diamonds wet, shinin' like some guppies
