lyrics

Rollin' (Words & Music by Violette)

Somedays I feel like I could change the world
Grant miracles with a single word.
But other days when things get out of hand
Then I can't seem to understand

Who holds the dice
Who's playing my life
I doubt but I'm proud
When figures don't add up
My heart won't give up

I keep rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on this gambler's scheme
Rollin' Rollin'
Rollin' on this gambler's scheme

I've been told to be persistent
Stand tall for what I want
I've come to find that trust and letting go
Sometimes can work miracles also.

Who holds the dice
Who's playing my life
I doubt but I'm proud
When figures don't add up
My heart won't give up

I keep rollin', rollin'
Rollin' on this gambler's scheme
Rollin' Rollin'
Rollin' on this gambler's scheme

If it’s just a game
If it’s all the same
Better take a chance
Better take a stance
While my mind is still
I can free my will.

Violette Brooklyn, New York

Paris native singer-songwriter Violette fits into no

rooted in jazz, reflect the young artist’s eclectic
range of musical influences from pop to rock and
R&B.
