Take your medication, Roman
Take a short vacation, Roman, you'll be okay
You need to know your station, Roman
Some alterations on your clothes and your brain Nicki Minaj – Roman Holiday

This is Martha telling Roman to take some meds and calm down. the line “Some alterations on your clothes and your brain” is Martha saying to Roman (who is gay and dresses flamboyantly) that his brain is just broken and needs to be fixed. The whole hook is also a satire on the Catholic Church’s stance on homosexuality. In her Grammy performance, Nicki made it evident that Martha was trying to “fix” Roman by having him sent to a priest to be exorcised, kind of like how some parents send their kids to camps to “pray the gay away”.

This could also be a general reference to Roman mythology breaking down the power of God. The Deities cared about the afterlife and not what you accomplished on earth (unlike Greek mythology). “Take a short vacation, Roman, you’ll be okay” is a reference to taking a break from reality and all it’s temptations (materialism, jealousy, etc.) to have a spiritual awakening on earth.

This could very well be a reference to Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World where there are “Soma Holidays” (mind-altering drug vacations)

Well I believe that when he says rock skate he actually is saying Rockstate which is a reference to a high school in Kansas City Missouri called Rockhurst and there they use the term Rockstate when they are trying to either qualify for or win state and also there is a location of Gates BBQ near the school
