The line comes from Ridin', the 2005 single by Chamillionaire featuring Krayzie Bone that reached number one in the US in 2006. Its chorus, they see me rollin, they hatin, became a shorthand for being watched with envy while cruising. Online, the hook was clipped for car videos, GTA edits and fail compilations long before short form apps, and it survives because the meaning is instant even without the rest of the song. A few seconds tells viewers this ride is meant to look cool, whether it actually does or not.
