Q grew up on Hoover’s streets where he sold drugs, rolling his bicycle, dealing drugs every new day the same day he did before.

This could also be heard as “roll my psyche”, which would mean that Q used to roll up in Hoover in order to use his mind at new levels. It’s no secret that ScHoolboy likes to puff.
