Lyrics
(Rappin? Robert)
By Robert L. Hall
Let me tell you about an old wise tale,
About a lover who had never failed.
He never left a woman high and dry,
Nor dissatisfied.
He never worried about bein? secure,
To all his women he was very dear.
They loved his game,
To call his name they were not ashamed.
(Chorus)
And they call him Rappin? Robert,
Oh oh he had a monophonic mind that was well confined,
He had a twofold heart that was well designed.
And when they needed some love,
They just paid their dime, and he?d blow their minds.
(Back to chorus)
The women talked about him far and near,
About their lover who would soon appear.
And then the men they took a stand,
And said who is this man!
And then he stepped out in the view,
For all the men who had never knew,
And then he said, I take my stand for all the careless men.
(New chorus)
And just call me Rappin? Robert,
Oh! I got a monophonic mind that is well confined,
I got a twofold heart that is well designed,
Your woman need some love,
She just pay her dime,
And I?ll blow her mind.
(Back to new chorus)
(Solo)
(Back to new chorus
They call me Rappin? Robert,
Oh! I got a monophonic mind that is well confined,
I got a twofold heart that is well designed.
Your woman needs some love she just pay her dime,
And I?ll blow her mind.
(Back to new chorus)
Now that you know about this famous dude,
One thing about him he was never rude.
He never took a woman from her man, just to be her man.
It made the women feel very proud, to see their hero stand before the crowd,
And then the men, they shook his hand and said,
Thank you man.
And then he drove off in this silver ride,
That shined so bright they had to cover their eyes,
And then he paused, stuck out his hand and said,
What?s my name!
(Back to new chorus)
(Final chorus)
They call me Rappin? Robert,
Oh! I got a monophonic mind that is well confined,
I got a twofold heart that is well designed,
Your woman need some love she just pay her dime,
And I?ll be there! Hah hah! On time.
