“But you know what? I've never been the one to let my haters get me down. So tonight im going to debut my brand new single. This entire song is going to be made up of sh*t comments that people have written about me online.”
He asked afterward:
“You all want to hear?”
Prompting the audience to shout yes, Roll began:
“Can I sing a song?/ I said can I sing a song?/ About these hating *ss b*tches on the internet”
Referring to the mean comments, he added after a pause:
“I want you all to know these are real by the way”
Roll continued:
“Being forced to listen to Jelly Roll against my will and it s*cks/ I used to hate Jelly Roll/ I still do/ Bro! It's way too g*ddamn early to be listening to Jelly Roll/ Bro Jelly Roll sucks so much butt/ Jelly Roll is an embarrassment to society/ Jelly Roll looks like a met addict grabbed a microphone .”
The song went on, with the lyrics reading as follows:
“Damn, Jelly Roll slimmed the fk up looking more like a fruit roll up/ Jelly Roll os just Lizzo for white people/ I’m hearing reports Jelly Roll has terrible ‘veneer breath’ with lots of fried chicken and other food and bacteria getting all trapped in my mouth and the smell is overpowering/ What the f*ck is a jelly roll/ Who the fk is Jelly Roll/ F*ck Jelly Roll/ Its all fun and games till Jelly Roll puts all his limbs into his body and starts rolling towards you in high speed.”
Roll concluded the song:
“You can't clown me/ And tell me I suck/ Cause I don't give a f*ck/ No I don't give a f*ck.”
After the entertaining performance, Roll revealed that the song is titled "Beautifully Broken." The crowd gave him a standing ovation as he said goodbye amidst cheers from the audience.
