311 - Rolling Through Lyrics






I'll give you shelter, give you bread
Make you live again
Sometimes it's half a dozen
Sometimes half of ten
Old boy it's business after dark
I'm a can of Krylon
You're a wall I mark
But now leave
I've got books to read
And ones to write
Stop bothering me

It's not laces or places
Or papes I fold
It's bars I drop
And these bars is gold

Far as the nearest star
It's still a great distance despite your insistence
That's what I see
Stay up and away
Seizing the day
And know that you're doing fine

Always know that you got to go, do
What you feel but don't forget make it real
No doubt it's about staying true
(Nothing gonna stop us)
Always know that you gotta grow, so
Honestly it's best that you know
Who you are as you go rolling through

Unbelievable stones
Inconceivable tones
Take a bite of it
And last longer deep in your bones
In your chromosomes faster
Beautiful disaster
We can throw a party
Getcha out of your homes

I step in the realm
Taking the helm
So one to stand up
I know the history
Breaking it down
Whatever the fuck we want to be
The epitome, a philosophy
Of music exploration
Thank you for tripping with me
(Is he crazy)

Far as the nearest star
It's still a great distance despite your insistence
That's what I see
Stay up and away
Seizing the day
And know that you're doing fine

Always know that you got to go, do
What you feel but don't forget make it real
No doubt it's about staying true
(Nothing gonna stop us)
Always know that you gotta grow, so
Honestly it's best that you know
Who you are as you go rolling through

Sacking many elements and making a dent
Meanwhile I'm racking up the eloquence
To say what I meant
Because the bigger the bomb
The bigger the blast
The quicker they go past
I cast and
Summon the power
To come in an hour
Cuz I can outlast

Everybody wanting something
Everybody wanting payoffs
Having a blast and amassing
All the chaos

As far as my eyes can see at sunup

    Rolling Through *Remains* the 💣🤯 of #Voyager TO THIS DAY‼️👏👏👏
    *#Nazz*

  2. L.... P....

    My dad played this on the guitar and he did awesome love y’all from nena

  3. S.... S....

    another album, completely different than the one before it, doing it since '90, always my influence

  4. t.... r....

    My shit. So good

  5. J.... I....

    They should open a show with this song.

  6. J.... M....

    Totally dig this track and full ride has always been a couple fav... But i see absolutely no resemblance between the two songs. Maybe I'm just not high enough yet, but then again I've only been a trained musician for 37 years, what do i know lol

  7. C.... F....

    nod your head to this!!

  8. B.... N....

    Baynk'd

  14. J.... ....

    Full ride + Tune in + Loco + Rock on

  15. G.... M....

    WOAHHH YEA. They are definitely coming original with this song. It's so starkly different and unique compared to their past works. It's like they could compete with the black eyed peas in levels of creativity.

  16. S.... ....

    This song only entered into one contest, and it’s to be the 311esr.

  17. M.... C....

    That beat ... god damn I love it

  18. M.... C....

    My fav song on the album

  19. p.... ....

    311 has influenced my life for so long, I hold all other new and interesting music to their standard of harmony and groove!! 311 for president would unite the world, that is my wish!!! ( On a side note, I look and sing like Nick, slightly older)

  20. D.... S....

    One of two tracks on the album that was written purely by 311.

  21. R.... S....

    Loco 2:20

    R.... S....

    Trip the shrooms fantastic, shit gets drastic

  22. S.... ....

    YASSSSS! Blue album feels. #nickraps

  23. B.... ....

    Why are they not playing this and Charge It Up from the new album on the current tour?? The best harder songs, throwback feel.

  24. B.... ....

    The guitar riff reminds me of CKY.

  25. N.... ....

    Saw them in Philly last night .... 🔥

  26. W.... ....

    Definitely my favorite track on the new album.

    One of the few songs I like nicks stuff more than SA’s too

  27. J.... N....

    Man, I dig the hell out of this.

  28. F.... B....

    This song REALLY reminds me of ‘Full Ride’ off From Chaos. Anyone else? I don’t care, I love all their stuff but I couldn’t stop myself from singing full ride on top of the chorus

    F.... B....

    I requested a slight change early. They kept it.

    F.... B....

    It's been called full ride 2 since it came out

  29. J.... B....

    This song and album are saving my life. Thank you guys. I am so grateful.

  30. J.... C....

    This is the only one off the new album I have been able to get into so far

  31. B.... W....

    2:14 😮Hexum's best rapping in a long time.

  32. J.... N....

    I absolutely love it 👽

  33. D.... P....

    This never loud enough!!!!

  34. C.... G....

    Welcome back old school 311!!!!

  35. m.... ....

    This is by far the 311est track on Voyager

  36. J.... M....

    This should've been the opener for the album and better space the closer. Nice track.

  37. M.... M....

    Classic 311!

  38. B.... E....

    Old school 311 vibes. Love it.

    #nodyaheadtothis

  39. J.... H....

    Sick Tight this song is

  40. T.... S....

    MISSION: To exponentially inspire a new age philosophical renaissance movement by spreading unconditional Honor, Respect, LOVE, LIGHT and peace worldwide, perpetually ending ignorance and poverty through a righteous process of METANOIA by 2020... One country, One neighborhood, and ONE HEART at a TIME!!! (steal this... please) Honor, Respect, LOVE, LIGHT & peace from The SuperHeart . Org Foundation @311 Fractals ;)

  41. g.... ....

    GODAMMIT THIS IS WHAT 311 SOUNDS LIKE. GET RID OF EVERYTHING ELSE. THIS IS IT BOYS.

  42. D.... L....

    Never stop 311

  43. t.... r....

    The best!!!!!

  44. L.... ....

    I'll give you shelter, give you bread, make you live again
    Sometimes, it’s half a dozen, sometimes half a ten
    Oh boy, it's business after dark
    I'm a can of Krylon and you’re a wall I mark
    But now leave, I got books to read
    And ones to write, so stop botherin' me
    It's not racist, or places, or caves I fold
    It's bars I drop and these bars is gold

    Take a bite of it and last longer deep in your bones
    In your chromosomes faster, beautiful disaster
    We can throw a party, get you out of your homes
    I step in the realm, taking the helm
    Someone to stand up, I know the history
    Breaking it down, whatever the fuck we wanna be
    The epitome, a philosophy of music exploration
    Thank you for trippin’ with me

  45. C.... R....

    "Ah Shit!" It's Full Ride 2019! I love it!

    C.... R....

    I would imagine our friends will like the big crowds

    C.... R....

    Our Islamic etremeist friends

  46. H.... O....

    This is gonna be great live.

  47. K.... D....

    Now THIS is the 311 I once loved!! YES!!

  48. D.... ....

    THAT BASS 🤘😈🤯

  49. S.... A....

    More vinyl coming soon? As someone with 1200 records but only a handful of new vinyl oh, this is one I would like to wear the grooves out on!

  50. J.... M....

    Yeah! Full ride part 2!

  51. A.... C....

    Like a trip back through the Grassroots. Nice one guys. dig it.

  52. G.... ....

    Best song on the album and an all timer for sure. Cant wait to hear this banger live

  53. T.... G....

    311 + Song title with To roll (verb or noun) = 🔥🔥🔥🔥

  54. s.... o....

    Unbelievable stones

  55. D.... L....

    Ther worst album since Don't Tread On Me...it's too safe and poppy

    D.... L....

    Dr. Loomis lol then don’t listen

    D.... L....

    @Jeff Frick How do you know if you are gonna like the music if you don't listen to it? What a fucking doorknob

    D.... L....

    @Dr. Loomis lol...I don't necessarily agree with your sentiment regarding the album but it's hard to argue with your logic.

  56. U.... ....

    Galaxy from Transistor mixed with Full Ride from chaos.

    U.... ....

    So much full ride

    U.... ....

    and then at 1:15 blasts into my head You Get Worked . . . . Brainstorm superseding the norm
    When we come together new planet is born... XD

    U.... ....

    @Jesús Conesa Damn, this song is genius. They just need to keep mashing styles together from all their songs, they have enough material it could just work forever.

    U.... ....

    Similar rifts, I suppose. But kind of its own thing.

    U.... ....

    Full ride + Galaxy + Tune In + Loco + Rock On

  57. P.... E....

    Yes!!! So rad

  58. D.... H....

    As far as my eyes can see,
    At sunup!

  59. A.... P....

    More of this please. Happy-sounding single-finger heavy riffs with rapping.

  60. r.... ....

    Loving the heavy beats!

  61. B.... O....

    Idk what they were thinking releasing Good Feeling as the first single. After listening to the whole album, that was by far the worst track

  62. M.... D....

    Best song on Voyager! This is true 311 right here

    M.... D....

    couldn't agree more...wish they would start leaning back this way...

    M.... D....

    I know that is what SA and Sexton wants. Nick however, wants to keep evolving and trying new things. Not gonna lie, one more album like the blue album before they call it quits would be amazing.

    M.... D....

    @Mike Duggan I fully understand that they want to evolve, and as artists they should...but the poppy stuff just kills me...I doubt they break up, they have too much support and money to be made. Maybe a hiatus?

    M.... D....

    Well in "Born to Live," Nick talks about them seeing their kids grow up and eventually seeing his daughters get married. Maybe this album is a precursor to them taking a hiatus. Don't know to be honest. I think this pop stuff is trying to reach the younger generation, but then again 311 has such a HUGE following that their name alone gets them heard and practically sell out every show they play.

    M.... D....

    they already did😉

  63. Q.... t....

    Sucks that it took me til track 10 on this album for something to perk my ears up. But glad this track was there when this album so desperately needed it.

    Q.... t....

    Bro you cant tell me Stainless, Dream State and Better Space dont bangarang!

    Q.... t....

    The good songs are great but again like mosaic it doesnt feel like a record it feels like a collection. Im really hoping scotch does the whole next record. I miss the days of putting a 311 record on and not having to skip every other track

    Q.... t....

    @wjveryzer7985 take the 3/4 bad poppy songs out and the albums amazing. I'm just going to make an amended playlist

    Q.... t....

    Yeah, just glad they got at least one dope song on the album.

  64. #.... ....

    Everyone learn these golden bars to rap along to in the crowds Live
    For the 2019 Summer Unity Tour‼️
    🐺 #viejolobo kids.

    #.... ....

    lol. gay.

  65. #.... ....

    After some washing around in my Frontal Lobe, rinsing, and rewiring with the clarity of meeting on the level
    Rolling Through jumps to the obvious #1 spot.
    Now that I think about what I was thinking about prior, I was subconsciously looking for anything to make this perfect cut not Perfect. 🙃Lol
    But let's face the facts fam‼️
    #RollingThrough IS the Greatest track on #VOYAGER
    #CantNobodyDoItLike311
    #Nazz

    #.... ....

    @Super Glued Can you rap Nick's lyrics on Raindrops yet lol 😁 I didn't learn all of VOYAGER's lyrics yet, but as difficult as the fast vox part by Nick on Raindrops may seem, just like Bone outta #CLEVELAND #OHIO it's just the pronunciations of the words to the beat that makes it sound Great. They really are simple words.

    #.... ....

    @Super Glued Here they are:
    "Sooner or later it comes
    As quick as it comes it’ll go
    Whatever is blocking the sun
    It’s only for a moment
    Running away from my past
    It’s pushing me out of my zone
    Pulling me under the gun
    Into the unknown"
    -Nick Hexum

    #.... ....

    CodyCoCreations kinda. I don’t really know them by memory yet tho. Especially the 2nd verse. I can actually do this one though (rolling through). That “the bigger the bomb the bigger the blast” part is fun.

    #.... ....

    @Super Glued OH MY! There are MUCHO bars from Rolling Through that are fun to rap/sing!
    And I feel it's going to be a live staple. That's why I commented on everyone to learn Rolling Through's full lyrics prior to everyone going on the 311 2019 summer tour they're attending.
    My favorite to rap is:
    "Beautiful disaster
    We can throw a party
    Getcha out of your homes
    I step in the realm
    Taking the helm
    So one to stand up
    I know the history
    Breaking it down
    Whatever the fuck we want to be
    The epitome, a philosophy
    Of music exploration
    Thank you for tripping with me
    (Is he crazy)"

  66. #.... ....

    "Always know that you got to go, do
    What you feel but don’t forget make it real
    No doubt it’s about staying true
    Always know that you gotta grow, so
    Honestly it’s best that you know
    Who you are as you go rolling through"
    Moving to the East.

  70. e.... ....

    Dude(s), this album came to me at a time that I needed it so so the most. I've felt so many of these songs in my like, idk, heart or something. Tracking says I can physically hold this album on the 13th, can't wait. Might go see you guys again this year, that'll be the third year in a row, when I discovered y'all with, of course, Amber. Man. First year I missed it since I was feeling shitty that day but went the next year! And this year too yyehdgvsjuugghhhhh cannot wait.

  71. C.... ....

    🔥🔥🔥

  72. M.... M....

    Sounds like Full Ride to me

    M.... M....

    Or at least Nick’s vocals sound similar/remind me of it

    M.... M....

    This smokes fullride. This song is faster better .

    M.... M....

    @mlinger18 it does sound like fullride, fullride will always be better but this is good

    M.... M....

    @ryro robers full ride is slow maybe a tiny little bit in the chorus..music is more upbeat and fast on this track

  73. J.... T....

    WOW WOW WOW!!!!! This track is going on REPEAT!!!! LOVE IT!!! PNUT is ON IT!!!! ❤️🔥❤️🙌🏼

  74. C.... ....

    Thank you Nick for rapping! Thank you so much! This is the true 311 sound right here! This is the sound that got me in love in the first place!

    C.... ....

    Not only rapping, but rapping like he's got a pair. I was beginning to get scared he lost them.

  75. I.... N....

    G.... N....

    Yeah I thought the same 100% started singing it actually over the top

    G.... N....

    Galaxy WAYYYYYYYYY faster.

    G.... N....

    I Definitely heard full ride as soon as the chorus began.

  77. r.... ....

    1994 is when I was first introduced to 311. This brings me back!!!

    r.... ....

    311 shot 2 videos here in Atlanta in the early 90's "do you right" at the roxy and "homebrew" at masquerade music park (outside) i remember ditchin hs and goin and being in the crowd for those vids ..sooo fuckin fun!!!
