This is a rare, sad, self-reflective RiFF RAFF song about how nothing besides him buying a Rolex would make him smile.
The song is in D Minor, thus the overtone is that his fame has ruined everything “fun” for him, the only happiness and excitement he can find is in opulent luxury.

[Intro]
Bought a Rolex
I-I bought a Rol, Rol
I bought a rose gold Rolex, Texas
[Hook]
Smokin' top flight, money in a pile
I bought a Rolex just to see me smile
I bought a Rolex just to see me smile
I bought a Rolex just to see me...
Smokin' top flight, money in a pile
I bought a Rolex just to see me smile
I bought a Rolex just to see me smile
I bought a Rolex just to see me...
[Verse 1]
Rolex rocker, 'Sace drop topper
Used to hide a fifth of codiene in my locker
Hated high school then I hated college
Could've graduated Harvard with a degree in martial artist
Could've went to Yale but I chose to bump and fail
Man, I chose to sniff grams, I froze both of my hands
My ruby Rolex got me posin' in Thailand
I'm posin' in Pakistan, my hands is made of penguin
Them diamonds is tranglin' at an obtuse angle
RiFF RAFF ain't gon' play, play, watch that boy ball
Stacks stand taller than, uhm, Pau Gasol
[Hook]
Smokin' top flight, money in a pile
I bought a Rolex just to see me smile
I bought a Rolex just to see me smile
I bought a Rolex just to see me...
Smokin' top flight, money in a pile
I bought a Rolex just to see me smile
I bought a Rolex just to see me smile
I bought a Rolex just to see me...
