Rollin on 60 is a gang reference. The singer is likely sentenced to a long prison sentence for a gang related crime. While in prison he calls the name of his love in his cell or in solitary, trying to imitate himself because he has no one else to talk to. He asks his love to forget about him on the middle of his prison term and move on with her life. But he can’t stop thinking about her and how she would hold him close. He remembers coming home to find her staring at the light after he was out all night with the gang. Is that the life they’re destined to live? He almost died. He is arrested, shaken and delivered by the experience. His love is out there, silently waiting for him or hiding the truth about his past. While in prison he turns his life around. Maybe he finds religion. He stares down a darkness as deep and black as the bottom of an ocean as he comes to terms with his past. He’s “in chains,” in shackles I’m the prison. Finally he is released. He sees all the changes that have occurred while he was incarcerated, not only within himself, but his friends, family and the city he lives in, and the world. He Sees the power he has to make better choices. He has chosen to live a better life and asks his love to choose him.
