[Intro: DJ Premier scratches] "You know I come around and rock it" I said Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! PRhyme, word up "You know I come around and rock it" They saying Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! "You know I come around and rock it" Word up [Verse 1: Royce Da 5'9"] I write for Sean Price and Dilla, my mic is Thriller My ratchet blows, it's trappin' souls like Bryson Tiller They sprayed the crib, left lead in the awnings And that's the very thing that gets me out of the bed in the mornin' I got the bread in the corner, got my career in the sauna I got no fear, just honor, I bled and lived through trauma First, the Fat Boys break up, then Bow Wow retires And now y'all disrespectin' the King I come through there with the street sweeper for niggas Claimin' they doin' dirt and get to just disinfectin' the scene I'm what you call the epitomizer of gettin' dark I will spit a geyser that'll give these guys on the charts the vitiligo of bars I'm feelin' like the Don on the permanent throne Weed like the Qu'ran, burn it, you can get stoned It's smellin' like a megaphone in the coupe Go into the extra zone in the booth, flow in the tool The headphones, the microphone, and the new poems approve I'm the best to ever put breaths on the measure metronome in the loop All I can do is turn your sister to my all-night masseuse Zonin' to Gu', this is my moment of truth [Chorus: Royce Da 5'9"] Can I rock it? Yes, you can Now, can I rock it? Yes, you can If she pretty, I'ma come around your city, I'm gon' hunt it down Hit it, I'ma hit it, I'm gon' come around and rock it Can I rock it? Yes, you can Now, can I rock it? Yes, you can Anytime I come around your city, I'm gon' burn it down Venue after venue, I'm gon' come around and rock it [Interlude: DJ Premier scratches] "You know I come around and rock it" "You know I come around and rock it" "You know I come around and rock it" Word up "You know I come around and rock it" "You know I come around and rock it" "You know I come around and rock it" Word up [Verse 2: Royce Da 5'9"] Now, first the Dipset split up, then Azealia Banks leave Twitter And now you niggas hatin' on Nickel I just been the same standup nigga since the day I came in this game And I just come in here to stay til' I'm crippled I'm a combination of Kane, G Rap, Reggie Noble, and James Who still has Ashanti and Kelly Rowland in dreams They tried to blackball me, but couldn't, I was too fuckin' good They tried to run me out of my city, I was too fuckin' hood So, all I'm tryin' to say (say) to artists tryin' to kill me is "Hey! Even Patron had to stand in line and wait" This is God's work handcrafted by karma I'ma always be here laughin' and clownin', last til' I promise And last but not least, I'ma finally retire my dad From out that post office, and that's on my mama I live my life for my girls and my boys And I took my soul back from the Devil now the world can enjoy it [Chorus: Royce Da 5'9"] Can I rock it? Yes, you can Now, can I rock it? Yes, you can If she pretty, I'ma come around your city, I'm gon' hunt it down Hit it, I'ma hit it, I'm gon' come around and rock it Can I rock it? Yes, you can Now, can I rock it? Yes, you can Anytime I come around your city, I'm gon' burn it down Venue after venue, I'm gon' come around and rock it [Outro: DJ Premier scratches] "You know I come around and rock it" "You know I come around and rock it" "You know I come around and rock it" Word up "You know I come around and rock it" "You know I come around and rock it" "You know I come around and rock it" Word up

Meaning of "Rock It" by PRhyme

The track opens with an immediate sense of arrival and impact, signaled by the repeated scratch, "come around and rock it." This sets a tone of undeniable presence, further amplified by the exclamations, "Oh, my gosh!" The speaker is here to dominate, and the crowd's reaction is already built into the narrative. Beneath the bravado, the lyrics reveal a deep-seated motivation born from adversity. The narrator explicitly links past violence – "They sprayed the crib, left lead in the awnings" – to his current drive, stating it's "the very thing that gets me out of bed." This isn't just boasting; it's a testament to resilience, transforming trauma into a relentless pursuit of success and honor. He asserts his place as a "Don on the permanent throne," earned through struggle. Lyrical craft shines through potent imagery and sharp allusions. The speaker claims to "write for Sean Price and Dilla," immediately positioning himself within a lineage of revered hip-hop legends. His boast of spitting a "geyser that'll give these guys on the charts the vitiligo of bars" is particularly striking, suggesting his lyrics are so unique and powerful they metaphorically disfigure or mark lesser artists' work. This blend of homage and aggressive self-assertion defines his artistic identity. Ultimately, "Rock It" is effective because it grounds its immense confidence in a tangible history of struggle and an unwavering commitment to craft. The repeated question and affirmation, "Can I rock it? Yes, you can," isn't just a rhetorical flourish; it's a self-validation of an artist who has faced challenges, honed his skill, and earned his right to command attention. The lyrics paint a picture of an artist who has taken "my soul back from the Devil," ready to share his hard-won talent with the world.
