[English]

Don't you see my eyes rollin', rollin'? (Rollin')

Rollin', rollin'

Yeah, I keep my eyes (hey) rollin', rollin' (rollin')

Rollin', rollin'

Get out my ear (hey), you sound like a fool

Got no idea who you're talkin' to

Don't you see my eyes (hey) rollin', rollin'? (Rollin')

Rollin', rollin'

Another day, another man tryna mansplain somethin' (hey)

I see his lips move, but they ain't sayin' nothin (hey), nah (nah, nah)

No, they ain't sayin' nothin', nah (hey), yeah

And when a guy goes hard, he busy

But when a girl pulls up, she bitchy

And if it makes no sense, then you get it

This one is for the girls out there with opinions

Yeah, if you got a fella sayin' he could do it better

Go on and tell him, tell him

Don't you see my eyes (hey) rollin', rollin'? (Rollin') (whoo)

Rollin', rollin'

Yeah, I keep my eyes (hey) rollin', rollin' (rollin') (oh)

Rollin', rollin'

Get out my ear (hey), you sound like a fool

Got no idea who you're talkin' to

Don't you see my eyes (hey) rollin', rollin'? (Rollin')

Rollin', rollin'

Excuse me, sir, you got me laughin' so hard that my tummy hurts (hey)

Tell me, did you buy your first house by your 21st?

'Cause I did (hey), I did it, yeah, I did

I did it for myself, now I do it for the kids

And when a guy goes hard, he busy (hey)

But when a girl pulls up, she bitchy

And if it makes no sense, then you get it

This one is for the girls out there with opinions

Yeah, if you got a fella sayin' he could do it better

Go on and tell him, tell him

Don't you see my eyes (hey) rollin', rollin'? (Rollin')

Rollin', rollin'

Yeah, I keep my eyes rollin', rollin' (rollin')

Rollin', rollin'

(I said) get out my ear, you sound like a fool

Got no idea who you're talkin' to

Don't you see my eyes rollin', rollin'? (Rollin')

Rollin', rollin' (uh-huh)

And if it makes no sense, then you get it

This one is for the girls out there with opinions

Yeah, if you got a fella sayin' he could do it better

Go on and tell him, go on and tell him, hey

(Rollin') hey
