The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Let's Roll" by the artist "Yelawolf"

In the lyrics of "Let's Roll," Yelawolf and Kid Rock glorify their homeland - the American South - and express pride in their "simple" life, free from prejudice and luxury. They are not ashamed of their origins, their love for pickup trucks, beer, and racing. Yelawolf, addressing the listener, paints a colorful picture of his childhood spent among "rednecks", ironically emphasizing stereotypes about Southerners - lovers of beer, hunting, and aggressive behavior.

The chorus, performed by Kid Rock, emphasizes their self-sufficiency and independence: they have achieved everything themselves and will not let anyone dictate their rules. Yelawolf, developing this idea, emphasizes his hard work and dedication: he has come a long way from storing a gun in a shoebox to a successful music career, without forgetting his roots and remaining true to himself.

[Hook: Kid Rock]

Yeah I'm throwed off

Ain't about the money I'ma blow it all

I made my own lane

Let's roll, let's roll

Yeah, I'm going off

Ain't got a whole lot but I'ma show it off

Better recognize game, let's roll, let's roll

[Verse 1:]

Yeah now let me welcome you to my small town

Big trucks in the yard, big bucks on the wall, country folks all around

How I was raised

808 drums quaking, they shake that box, '88

And the dope boys hotter than hells gate

But I, still in the shade

With a fold out chair, a thirty pack on the back of that tailgate

A-L-A, B-A-M-A

I'm off I might pee in the lake

I might go to Talladega and see me a race

And bring me case

Yeah I'm bringing a case

I'm getting throwed off

[Hook]

[Verse 2:]

And I'm all the way throwed off

Z71 take the bow off

Dipped in mossy oak with a mullet mohawk

Yeah with a bright orange hat and a bag underneath that Chevy seat

Yeah buddy, might go off

Split you like a bowling ball

Spit chew in my overalls

Yeah home of the gumbo

Got a couple folks that'd do it to you for hundo

And when them elephant feet rumble

That dixie cup's gonna fall off the console

You don't wanna have a convo and not understand that Bama slanguage

Like hollering ain't it

But I come to paint it, so it won't be throwed off

[Hook]

[Verse 3:]

I'm just a Kid that Rocks

I'm just a boy with a dream

That bet it all with the last bill that I had hid in my socks

Used to keep a .22 in a shoebox

Now I bang Beretta

She's twenty-two and I keep her in a tube top

White trash and all

Take us all the way to the top and then laugh it off

Like how the fuck did I get a catalogue with more hits than a fucking jackhammer dog

Cause I planned it all

Crimson Tide standing tall

Shit, I'm another lit cannon ball

Fuck around and I'm going off and I'm getting throwed off

[Hook]
