# Roof On Ya Head — Lyrics **Artist:** SaulTee × BabyFoam **Track:** Roof On Ya Head (Operation: Nice Helmet Chief — Single 2 of 3) **Length target:** 3:10–3:40 --- ``` TITLE: Roof On Ya Head ARTIST: SaulTee × BabyFoam (BadBeadRecords) [INTRO — log-drum + shakers swell, kalimba riff, ~8 bars] (Ay… buckle up, buckle up) (Roof on ya head, oh-oh) [HOOK — group chant, call-and-response] Lead: Put a roof on ya head (roof on ya head!) Crowd: Buckle up, buckle up Lead: Sun on ya smile, foam on ya bed (foam on ya bed!) Crowd: Buckle up, buckle up Lead: We don't ride for the trouble, we ride for the love Crowd: Nice helmet, chief — go 'head and buckle up (Buckle up, buckle up — nice helmet, chief) [VERSE 1 — SaulTee] Morning bright, wagon rollin' slow down the avenue, Wheels hummin' soft, got a shell with your name on it too. You was flyin' on the scooter with the wind in your hair, We pull up gentle, like — chief, where the roof, that ain't fair. GPS found you smilin' at the light by the bay, Camera catch the glow when you put the foam on, ay. No scold, no sermon, just a gift and a grin, Strap it under the chin, let the good day begin. (Oh-oh) the bounce in the bassline match the bounce in your step, (Oh-oh) you ain't gotta be perfect, you just gotta be kept. [HOOK — group chant, call-and-response] Lead: Put a roof on ya head (roof on ya head!) Crowd: Buckle up, buckle up Lead: Sun on ya smile, foam on ya bed (foam on ya bed!) Crowd: Buckle up, buckle up Lead: We don't ride for the trouble, we ride for the love Crowd: Nice helmet, chief — go 'head and buckle up [VERSE 2 — BabyFoam] BabyFoam, soft like the chorus, I keep the peace, Hand you the helmet, watch a worry just release. Three little questions, let you laugh for the lens, Now the whole timeline feel like family and friends. From the bay to the block to a screen 'cross the sea, Different language, same chant — everybody sing with me. Mama in another country see her kid lookin' safe, Press a heart, leave a blessing — that's a global embrace. (Oh-oh) the log-drum lift when the foam find the crown, (Oh-oh) we just raised the whole city, nobody come down. [BRIDGE — breakdown, kalimba + voices only, then log-drum slides up a third] Sing it: roof on ya head, oh-oh, roof on ya head, oh-oh, sun gon' set but the shell stay on, ride home safe 'til the morning come — oh! (log-drum LIFT) — buckle up! [HOOK — full crowd, doubled, hands up] Lead: Put a roof on ya head (roof on ya head!) Crowd: Buckle up, buckle up Lead: Sun on ya smile, foam on ya bed (foam on ya bed!) Crowd: Buckle up, buckle up Lead: We don't ride for the trouble, we ride for the love Crowd: Nice helmet, chief — go 'head and buckle up (Buckle up, buckle up — nice helmet, chief) [OUTRO — chant fades over shakers, ~8 bars] (Roof on ya head… oh-oh… nice helmet, chief…) (Ride home safe… ride home safe…) ```
