Interesting facts and trivia about Roll Up. By Songfacts®.

This is the second major label single released by Pittsburgh rapper Wiz Khalifa. The song acts as the follow-up to his breakthrough hit "Black and Yellow," which was titled after his hometown football team's black and canary color scheme. Khalifa explained that the song's inspiration was a resource he's familiar with in an interview with MTV News. "Really, I just needed another single and we were trying to come up with a look and then me and [my manager] talked about it," he said. "We talked about it for three minutes. And then I came up with that song."

A song called "Roll Up" from the album Rolling Papers must be about marijuana, right? According to Khalifa, that's not the case; it's about being willing to "roll up" and see your girl whenever she needs you. Khalifa told MTV News: "I was trying to be funny, be clever as possible," said Wiz. "It's for the chicks. It's for guys to sing to chicks. And it's just a fun song."

The song was previously released in September 2010 as the lead single on Los Angeles producer and rapper Terrace Martin's EP Here, My Dear with Khalifa as a featured artist.
