Hilltop Hoods - Roll On Up Lyrics
[Sample from David Essex - Stardust]
"Well he used to high fly but he crashed out the sky
In a stardust fling, hey rock 'n roll king is down"
Roll on up
Roll on up
As we proceed, we hit the freeway and roll
(on up)
[Verse 1 - Suffa]
Shows and flows till the rhyme was felt,
Coast to coast and cut through the Bible belt,
A tribal yell till the vibe was felt,
Surviving hell and back man, on every track, man saliva spelt,
Hilltop, Hilltop, we hustled independent,
We paved roads with our soul and suffering,
For the stage coach carrying hip hop to roll on up in,
There's something that's making them nervous
The undergrounds taking these verses and breaking the surface,
With a brand new cockiness, a brand new confidence,
Treat em like they owe me man; pay me my compliments,
No obstacles the fans and the fam make it possible,
And Obese got a roster full of rocket fuel,
So keep an eye out for those out ripping it up,
Putting it down, cos the fans are now picking it up.
[Chorus]
Roll on up, hip hop's no longer living,
In rocks shadow, the kids are now spitting not singing,
Roll on up, and come and see emcees free
Their sounds, to the sound of an MPC it goes,
Roll on up, hip hop's no longer living,
In rocks shadow, the kids are now spinning not singing,
Roll on up, and see the DJs getting the love,
From every head that step in the club, we hit the freeway and roll… (on up)
[Verse 2 - Pressure]
With this everyday hustle,
Ain't nothing over night man, it takes struggle to make muscle,
And half of these kids are under the poverty line,
The other half confuse skills with gonna be signed,
But this world doesn't owe you a debt,
So don't you expect a hand out or me to show you respect,
I got no regrets, why? Cos really its proof,
That makes a good lie better than the hideous truth,
I don't preach or scream ain't trying to teach the scene,
The only guidelines are those you need to read between,
And the eighties is gone its a crazy biz,
Nowadays hip hops whatever the fuck I say it is,
The reason I'm down, and kept my feet on the ground,
So I could breathe life back into the street with my sound,
So from the rappers to the vinyl stores, risking their spinal cord,
To define a cause we about to reach our final straw.
[Chorus]
Roll on up, hip hop's no longer living,
In rocks shadow, the kids are now spitting not singing,
Roll on up, and come and see emcees free
Their sounds, to the sound of an MPC it goes,
Roll on up, hip hop's no longer living,
In rocks shadow, the kids are now spinning not singing,
Roll on up, and see the DJs getting the love,
From every head that step in the club, we hit the freeway and roll…
[Verse 3 – Suffa & Pressure]
We roll on ripping it,
Cos some of these execs are just soulless lepers,
They'll buy you lunch cos they stole your breakfast,
Now who I'm going to let control these records?
And who's going to hold these weapons,
Roll independent, we owe nothing to no one.
Got love for Elefant Tracks, Love for the Shogun,
Love for Hydrofunk, and the homespun,
Cause we a dying breed and this loathsome,
Industries about the mint, not the plant that dresses lunches,
Nah man it's the plant that presses hundreds,
We run with each and every rhymer since,
Cause we never been so large that I couldn't read the finer print.
[Chorus]
Roll on up, hip hop's no longer living,
In rocks shadow, the kids are now spitting not singing,
Roll on up, and come and see emcees free
Their sounds, to the sound of an MPC it goes,
Roll on up, hip hop's no longer living,
In rocks shadow, the kids are now spinning not singing,
Roll on up, and see the DJs getting the love,
From every head that step in the club, we hit the freeway and roll on up.

HH killin it!...Again
fuckimg nailed it hip-hop is alive and well here
WHY'S THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY??
Can anybody teach me the meaning of 'roll on up'? I couldn't find that meaning
The whole song is about Hip Hop, think roll on up is about touring or performing or even just making music.
박재용 its about going to see hip hop shows
Talented truth
Either 4.9k people listen to this 240k times or just the morjority of people that listen to it doesnt realise good music when they hear it.
About 1000 times here
Nayland Them feels mate
for some reason I feel like the hoods' new albums will never be on par with this older stuff,
especially The Calling
So much better than the album version
Ridewith Manny agreed hey
I like the "I think that was good" at the end
lol for real. What an understatement.
THIS IS AWESOME
Two favourite Aussie Artists coming together
lovin the freshness of these beats and vibrations yo!!!!!!!! keep it up Boys!
when this song I "roll one up" and then i cant stop bouncin around the garden!
My only complaint about this is the recording quality is a bit low in the verse.
This version so much better than the album. Lowrider!
hill top rocks keep it crackin lad's
Lol i always thought that guy at the start singing "roll on up" was a chick in the audio at the start hahaha
I'm a black guy from Texas and LOVE these guys!!
+Timi, point being, I think these guys are extremely unique with a great flow and style.
They're probably the most known aussie hip hop group, if you like aussie hip maybe you should give Pegz a listen or Trem, abit more underground more good never the less, a good song by Pegz is What would happen.
Hill tops hoods early albums were among some of the best being produced at the time, the calling is a favorite for me, good shit
@George Stam thats how silly the world is. not enough to say...im a guy
What does you being black have to do with this song?
It's A bottle of Courvoisier washing all over me.
the guys singing Roll on up is one on the maddest jaz hiphop bands i have ever herd! #undergroundMelbourneHipHop+hiltophoods
ozzy best hp
I think that was good too!
whos the dude playing with HH? Respect from Brazil!
+Gabriel Pagliaro That's an Australian band "Lowrider"
Hip Hop's whatever the fuck i say it is
+R Eddy
nah, its what i say it is
+Ozminer
It's a swan!
James Barker thhats fukn funny as ;) lobby it

Far out man, that stick spin after the second chorus bad into the verse is just so cool hahaha

Pépite Chineurs de Rap, Mars 2015

DJ Debris!
Where can I find good quality of this?

Hard Road: Restrung album, buy it
it doesn't have this version tho on the cd its a different version this version is better I like the guy who sings it with hilltop hoods in this better than the one on the album
@Dkhrystal so just download it off youtube
@Keegan Sweeney this track is not in album.. well not the same version.
4,20 I think that was good.......ya think
4:20 boy! light that up
Mad stuff
i think that was good !!! Toooo good...... real good.....
I waited 40 yrs
Fuck Suffa's good.
I actually think it's Suffer, idk
@Dancing Shadows nah its suffa
Mad respect especially to pressure he killed it
Suffer was good but I think pressure dominated it
basically how every hoods track goes. pressure is crazy good
thats not how they flow no competion
Why do mi comments all ways dis appear rahhhhhhh!
I think the spelling police have got your number
One of the most talented active rapper duos! Respect from Switzerland
Trios* :(
Zuercher_ZRH shouts back from NT Australia
fun fact this is on the city of light DVD
yo mannnn
what album is this on?
It's on the city of light dvd
Hard Road: Restrung.
Need a whole album of this.
svbassist so true
The drums and bass are so clean, such a raw song.
good flow, smooth as f***. definitely passes the smoke test...just a coincidence the song is 4:20 long..
everday song. brilliant
Easy listening. Hilltops' rocking it.
please don't compare hoods with that Eminem crap, these guys are artists
Are you looking at the comment below bruh? Otherwise you LITERALLY make no sense!
Eminem and hilltop are not comparable at all 😑
I love both. They compete quite equally. Eminem's lyrics are phenomenal. The more you listen the more impressive they get. The impossible verses that he makes ryhme, eminem is a lyrical genius, as much as the statement is cliche it is true, they both very different artists but equally as talented.
Aussie bogan seems to aptly describes you lol
Square oner so true man! I grew up on hiphop! And i tell you what people just dont know what true hiphop is about or even what it sounds like!! Respect to the Auz'es
Anyone got a link to Lowrider songs or his channel? Get obvious results when I search "lowrider".
We hit the free and roll
is this on any album?
this clip is mint cranking through stereo, im 45 yo and aussie hip hop is on another level I just wish we could all see it, wats all this hate shit
Lowrider hilltop hoods 3
