“Roll Up” - Wiz Khalifa
Its time for another song about cheating. Wiz Khalifa dedicates this one to some chick who needs him to pick her up when she’s having problems with her spouse and smoke some weed with him.

“I roll up
I roll up
I roll up
Shawty I roll up”
Etcetera. He rolls up for this woman a lot. Just in case you’re not sure what this means:
to roll up 1. (v.) to drive a vehicle up to a curb in order to pick a hooker up. 2. (v.) roll a joint.
We’ll get to the joint part later.

“Its your anniversary isn't it
And your man ain't acting right
So you packin’ your Damier luggage up callin’ my cell phone, try and catch a flight
You know one thing straight, I’ll be there girl whenever you call me
When you at home that's your man, soon as you land you say that's all me”
This isn’t the first anniversary this woman’s husband has acted like a prick he’s guessing. And I’m guessing she’s only staying with him because he’s buying her Louis Vuitton luggage. Yet Wiz is going to make sure he’s the better man by being the shoulder for her to cry on because that’s priceless. Also, he’s po’. Can’t afford the or.
Wiz Califas and Snoop Doobie. Don't worry, I'm out now.
“But shit ain't all G with him no more, you ain't entertained
Since I meet you a couple months ago you ain't been the same
Not sayin I’m the richest man alive but I’m in the game
As long as you keep it 100, Imma spend this change”
In this part, he’s trying to convince himself that her husband is boring and that they’re relationship is not as “gangster” as it used to be.
Ain’t it how it always goes. You get with a dude, and he’s a G and you’re a G, and you’re both thuggin’, but then, he turns into a square, and you’re like, “But I’m still a letter!” Moral: you can’t date shapes if you’re a letter.
Anyways, he may not be the richest, at least compared to the banker or engineer or whatever moneybags she’s married to has. But he’s got game, as in, he’s still got passion and a libido. So as long as this chick stays 100% true to him, he’ll spend what little moola he’s got on her and go broke in the process, but whatever, its love.
How do you think rappers stay so chill?
“Whenever you need me
Whenever want me,
You know you can call me, I’ll be there shortly
Don’t care what your friends say, cause they don't know me
I can be your best friend, and you be my homie”
You know what, this part of the song reminds me of another song I know.... A little diddy once sang by a gang of five brothers, one of which was a prince who grew up to be a king. My favorite fairytale.
Maybe Wiz should make a pact with this upset woman to bring salvation back. It could be a real relationshit.
“I ain't gonna flex, I’m not gonna front
You know if I ball, then we all gonna stunt
Send her my way, she ain't gotta hold up
Whenever you call baby I roll up, I roll up, I roll up”
Look, he’s not going to try and be all macho or act like he’s something he’s not. And if he plays???? a game of basketball???? which means????? everyone gets bling?? to show off???

“I try to stay out your business
But on the real you’re so obvious
And if you keep fitting me in your plans and fuckin’ up, your mans gonna catch onto us
That white sand surrounding us”
Sure, Wiz, you’re trying to avoid her and not get involved with her unless she calls you. But somehow you’re at her place, in her bed, with cocaine, so her husband can walk in at any time?
“He be handcuffing, he should work for them officers
If you rolling I got a spot where I can put you on this medical, and send you home doctored up”
You bet your skunk head he’d be handcuffing you. To a tree, so he could drive his car into you. This may be a stretch, but I think Wiz is talking about how in Cali, you can get marijuana for medical reasons. But only serious medical reasons. For example: back pain, headaches, wisdom teeth removed a year ago and they still hurt.
“You wanna ride with me cause you say that he boring
Wake up you rollin’ weed, cooking eggs in the morning
Ain't scared to spend this money I’ll make more of it
First you was in the sky now you say you in orbit”
What kind of person uses the excuse “He’s just so booooring!” to cheat on someone? Probably someone looking for some free weed. If he’s supplying, its only polite that at least make him breakfast. She’s probably making some good ol’ Gangster Gumbo.
Nothing like homecooking!
