[Verse 1]
Your mAomma should have warned you baby, theAred be days like these
InsteaEd she put you on a shelf and she keEpt skin on your knees
Your PAappa could have told you baby, boys aAre men like me
InsteaEd he kept you for himself and he gaEve you guarantees
[Pre Chorus]
RAoll, baby, roll
RAoll, baby, roll
REoll, baby, roll
REoll, baby, roll
[CHORUS]
You wont caBtch me wasting my sweet tiBme Bbon
AOn all those things I left behind
Im gonna Roll Baby REoll
And aBll those things you meant to meB  Bb  
AWont save us if we’re sedentary
So REoll Baby Roll, REoll Baby Roll
[Verse 2]
Your MAomma told her children not to Ado the things Ive done
She pEackaged me with matches, told you iEf  you see me run
Your PAappa knows his only rose will loAok at me like fun
So he Eswings there in that rocking chair, and he stErokes his loaded gun, and says
[Pre Chorus]
RAoll, baby, roll
RAoll, baby, roll
REoll, baby, roll
REoll, baby, roll
[CHORUS]
You wont caBtch me wasting my time oBnBb  
AAll those things that are done and gone
Im gonna Roll Baby REoll
And aBll those things you meant to BeB  Bb  
AWont knock on the door of the sedentary
So REoll Baby Roll, REoll Baby Roll
 B   A   EX 2
[Bridge]
Now aEll my times and aBll of my rhymes reAflect upon what Ive dEone
But bEefore I check out Bbaby what I miAssed’ll bring me undoEne
So coEme and lose yourself, get oBff of your shelf, get Aup from your hands and knEees
Stand Etall, speak loud, be strBong, be proud and and choose caArefully who youll pElease 
And REoll Baby Roll, Don’t forget to REoll Baby Roll
[Outro]
For a Elong time I tip-Btoed around fools and gave em Atoo much time in the Esun
But I Efinally learned, even a fBool can burn, and for the Amost part then they rEun
So Ill cEasually tell you Bbaby alAl that’s on my mEind
And iEf its not for you, well you can tBell me too, and we can sAave a whole lot of tiEme.
And that’s how we’re gonna rEoll baby roll, REoll Baby roll 
That’s How I like to REoll Baby Roll, REoll Baby Roll

Roll, baby, roll

A A

Your Momma told her children not to do the things Ive done

E E

She packaged me with matches, told you if you see me run

Your Pappa knows his only rose will look at me like fun

Roll, baby, roll

For a long time I tip-toed around fools and gave em too much time in the sun
