Hey Anonymous,

There is a lot of what is called ebonics in rap music and it is very descriptive language. A lot of this generates from poorer agricultural areas of the southern US.

1. I'm a put her in the limelight.

This is becoming common in American English in the southern US (southeastern that is) I'm a, pronounced U-m-a, means I am going to. So here it means I am going to put her in the limelight. Limelight is the same as a spotlight, so I am going to put her in the spotlight for all to see, is the meaning here.

2. It's time to move on, do your own thing.

This means it is time to forget about her and go about life as usual.

3. She's rollin' with a "g"

Rolling with a "g" is a way to emphasize that someone is really rolling, not literally rolling but going about her own way. This could also be said as in Rolling with a capital R. It simply emphasizes that someone is doing that action with a great degree of seriousness.

4. We so fly, we chillin in the lair.

we're so cool and we're hanging out.

I hope this helps you out in understanding this song.
