Shy Ronnie 2: Ronnie & Clyde
The Lonely Island Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We at it again, everybody now
Hands in the air, it's a stick up, stick up
No funny business or you get lit up, lit up
You test I (I), you gon' die (die)
And at your funeral ya mama gon' cry
So customers kiss the floor, floor
And clerks open cash drawers slow, slow
If you don't wanna end up dead
You'll do everything Shy Ronnie says
Tell 'em, Ronnie!
No one in the bank can hear you
Shy Ronnie, use your outside voice
We don't have time for this
Let's go
So stay on the ground it's a stick up, stick up
Your wallets and jewels we'll pick up, pick up
Unload the cash (cash), move your ass (ass)
We getting' money, tell 'em Shy Ronnie
Please, please use your words
Just imagine that everyone's naked
Uh, oh!
Boner alert. He really pictured them naked.
The police are on their way
(Come out with your hands up)
Good luck, Shy Ronnie
Bye, bye!
Haa!
Ronnie motherfucker and I'm back from the dead,
Brain bored with the murder, so I shot my own leg
Don't get the name twisted, cause I'm crazy as shit
I hung a giant ass noose off my giant ass dick
Aye! I forgot this money
And also this guy
Come on, we're gonna have sex
Too-da-loo!
And you can hang from it
Cause you don't wanna see my real gun
Shots to the sky but your face sound real fun!
Ronnie!
The song "Shy Ronnie 2: Ronnie & Clyde" is a comedic rap collaboration between The Lonely Island and Rihanna. It tells the story of two bumbling robbers, Ronnie and Clyde, who attempt to rob a bank. Ronnie is so shy that he can barely speak above a whisper, making the robbery seem more like a playground game than a serious crime. Despite Clyde's threats and demands, Ronnie struggles to find his voice and make himself heard.
The lyrics play on the classic "good cop, bad cop" dynamic, with Clyde taking on the role of the tough, intimidating criminal, while Ronnie is portrayed as the clueless, awkward sidekick. The humor comes from the contrast between the violent nature of the crime and Ronnie's ineffectual attempts to be tough.
Throughout the song, Ronnie struggles to assert his authority, resorting to strange metaphors and non-sequiturs to intimidate the bank employees. His lack of confidence is also apparent in his interactions with Clyde, who constantly berates him and threatens him with violence.
Overall, "Shy Ronnie 2: Ronnie & Clyde" is a hilarious take on the traditional gangster story, highlighting the absurdity of trying to pull off a heist with a partner who can't even speak up.
