I've always heard c'mon, let's roll it! in the context of "okay, let's get a move on!"...let's get going, let's get out of here...and especially in military lingo (praps Hollywood military). But, of course, colloquially, the phrase was shortened to let's roll! sometime in the late 60's or early 70's...it was hip to drop the "it".
