Roll in Peace Lyrics – Kodak Black

Roll in Peace Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Kodak Black]
Kodak starts off by saying that these days, he just freestyles his music instead of writing it down—he doesn’t even use a notepad anymore. It shows how confident and relaxed he is in his style. He mentions the producer, “London on da Track,” and then quickly shifts to dismissing a girl he sees as fake or unworthy, calling her a “nat nat,” which basically means someone who’s easy and not serious or respectable in his eyes.

[Pre-Chorus: Kodak Black]
He’s being brutally honest with a girl who wants his attention. He tells her straight up that she’s not the kind of woman he needs. She doesn’t have anything to offer him—no value, no money, no real support. She might want him to treat her seriously, but he doesn’t think they’re even on the same level. Maybe she’s not built for his world, whether that’s the street life or the mindset he’s in. He feels like she can’t handle who he really is.

[Chorus: Kodak Black]
Kodak talks about how he can’t find peace, no matter what. Everywhere he goes, people are watching him, and it’s overwhelming. He can’t even sleep properly and ends up using drügs to cope with the stress. He was almost sentenced to eight years and found himself praying, even questioning God and religion. He’s confused about people who wear symbols like a Jesus chain but don’t actually live by faith. Then he gets real about someone close to him—saying if they want to leave, they should just go, but don’t lie about their intentions. Even someone who’s blind could see how fake the loyalty is. He feels let down because the love he was promised was never really there. It’s all been lies, and now he sees that he’s alone in the fight.

[Verse 1: Kodak Black]
Here, Kodak’s frustrated and hurt. He says the way the girl acted is straight-up wrong—she claimed to care, but when things got rough, she disappeared. He needed her support during tough times, and she didn’t show up. That really affected him. Then he switches into a more confident mode, saying he might be sick mentally or emotionally, but he’s still rising. He talks about leveling up financially and dominating over others, saying he’s “eating” better than them, meaning he’s more successful. Even though he’s winning, he’s still guarded—he doesn’t even let his guard down during s*x, keeping a mask on. That shows how deeply trust issues have affected him. He’s been betrayed too many times to relax or feel safe around anyone.

[Pre-Chorus: Kodak Black]
Again, he repeats the same thoughts about the girl—she’s not right for him, and she doesn’t bring anything to the table. She’s not matching his energy, his lifestyle, or his goals. He might just be too raw, too streetwise, or too focused to entertain someone who doesn’t understand his world. He sees no point in wasting time on something that’s clearly not meant to work.

[Chorus: Kodak Black]
The same feelings return—he’s drowning in attention, constantly being watched, and he feels like he has no room to breathe. He can’t sleep, he’s using substances to numb things, and he’s still haunted by almost going to prison. He reflects again on faith, feeling like even religion doesn’t bring him peace anymore. He’s tired of lies, especially from someone who said they’d be by his side. Their actions never matched their words. All he sees now is fake love and betrayal. The loyalty he hoped for just wasn’t there.

[Verse 2: XXXTENTACION]
X gets into his own story and emotions here. He says he doesn’t do things just for clout—he avoids features and doesn’t mess with other people’s girls, because he knows the type of women they are. He talks about a past relationship that ended badly, where his ex made false claims that hurt him. Then he shares how shocked he was when Kodak went to jail, showing he really cared about him. He talks about how his money is growing, making a “Pinocchio” joke about his wallet sticking out. Then he brings up a s*xual situation in a graphic way and shifts to remembering darker times when he carried a weapon and had to always watch his back. Now, he says he feels protected, like he’s got a strong presence or energy around him—comparing it to “the Force” from Star Wars.

[Pre-Chorus: Kodak Black]
Once again, he repeats that the girl just isn’t for him. She doesn’t bring anything valuable—no money, no loyalty, no vibe that fits his world. Maybe she wants things from him, but he’s not here for that. He thinks he’s too real, too tough, or maybe just too focused for someone like her to really understand or keep up with.

[Chorus: Kodak Black]
Kodak keeps going back to the same pain—he feels trapped by fame and pressure. He can’t relax, can’t sleep, and feels like there’s no one he can truly trust. He still remembers praying when facing serious jail time, but now he questions who’s real and who’s fake. He’s tired of being lied to by people who pretend to care. It hurts more when the person claiming to ride for you ends up being the first to leave. Now, he sees clearly—there was no real love or loyalty from the start.

[Outro: Kodak Black]
He simply says he’s in London and the beat came from there—just a quick shoutout to where the track was made.
