Before The Rollie

[Chorus: Ace Hood]

Before the rollie, before the fame

Before the money, before the game

Before them bitches

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

[Verse 1: Ace Hood]

My same niggas, no new friends

Since day one, nigga no loose ends

Just a young nigga, outchea every day

I'mma get it by any means

That was just my mind frame

Before the Gucci and Louis

Before the Rollie dog I went through it

They ain't never fuck 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 shit don't work

Plus no radio to make shit worse

I'da come a long way and they know it

Fuck where you at its about where you goin'

Can't sit around and wait for no money

Ain't no naw nigga can't do it

Boy I did this shit 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)

[Chorus: Ace Hood]

Before the rollie, before the fame

Before the money, before the game

Before them bitches

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

[Verse 2: Ace Hood]

Ain't never had shit for' my dream

Ain't never sell no work to them fiends

Ain't never snitch and tell on my dogs

Wakin' up every day for that cream

Nigga I was down and out in that field

So stressed out because of them bills

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 nigga from out of Deerfield

Ain't shit changed but a rap deal

Gotta little money niggas actin' funny

Now I know how niggas in the trap feel

Ya'll rather me broke than be fucked up

And my same hood and those same chucks

I look back today throw prayers up

Now I never forget where I came from

[Chorus: Ace Hood]

Before the rollie, before the fame

Before the money, before the game

Before them bitches

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

[Verse 3: Meek Mill]

Before the rollie man it was cuffs

Hard times man shit 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 fuck

Young niggas we clippin' up

Before the rollie hoes fronted on me

Now I pull up on em like bitch whats up?

Young niggas ballin'

Fuck niggas hatin'

Before I had a rollie

I ain't have no patience

A nigga ran up on me

Be a sad situation

So we cap'n gown you pussy niggas, ain't talkin' graduation

See it was something 'bout the Rollie when it touched my wrist

Something 'bout the Rollie when I fucked your bitch

Cause it caught her eye, she's on my dick

And she told you lies and you trust that bitch like hold up

Ya'll niggas hatin' on me

When all these bad bitches waitin' on me

And all that shit y'all prayed on me and I still kill niggas like shame on me, ohhh

[Chorus: Ace Hood]

Before the rollie, before the fame

Before the money, before the game

Before them bitches

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
