soll's = soll es


Explanation:
One of my favourite songs:

Für mich soll's rote Rosen regnen
mir sollten sämtliche Wunder begnen
Die Welt sollte sich umgestalten
und ihre Sorgen für sich behalten

She wishes for red roses to rain down on her
soll's is just short for "soll es"

Guess this answers your question ;-)
