Excuse Me
R.O.M Lyrics

Jeah’
An expression of enthusiasm, indicating the start of an upbeat rap song.

Uh huhhh
Another phrase of excitement, endorsing the previous assertion.

It ain’t no business like show business and that’s me
The rap industry is one of the most lucrative businesses, and I am one of its shining stars.

If you don’t know me, let me introduce myself
If you haven't yet heard of me, allow me to provide you with an introduction to myself.

KNOW no OTH3R smoother than butter
I am the smoothest rapper around, without a doubt.

Letting my presence be felt
My charisma cannot be ignored; I make a lasting impression wherever I go.

In Indiana where every day a hater got sumthin’ to say
As an artist from Indiana, I am constantly the subject of criticism and negative comments.

I tell them like Run and Aerosmith - “walk this way!”
I respond to haters by boldly asserting myself, much like the iconic rock band Aerosmith.

And jump in the bandwagon cause I know they talkin’ shit about me
I am aware that many people want to hop on the bandwagon of hating me because of my fame.

With my name in their mouth like they can’t live without me
These haters are so consumed with me that they can't help but talk about me.

It’s a shame but I take as many as I can get
Although it's unfortunate that I am the subject of negative attention, I can also recognize that it comes with the territory of being famous.

Snappin’ like a broke leg while they biting my shit like a pit
My style is so irresistible that other artists are biting my lyrics like a pit bull would bite its owner's hand.

That’s why I laugh cause it’s funny
Although the situation is not ideal, I can see the humor in it.

To me its mo problems with no money
I would rather have these problems, being a target of hate, than have no money.

Because when I get it’s ugly
When I receive payment or gain financial success, it is often in a grand, over-the-top fashion.

Flossin and Bossin’ like the big three in Boston with a paint job wetter than a toboggan
I am living life to the fullest, with all the excesses that come with fame. I am flaunting it like the big three NBA stars, and my ride is shinier than a sled on snow.

And I know your head bobbing But you tryin’ hard not ta
I am aware that even people who claim to hate me still bob their head to my music.

I’m la caca y lava and a mutha fuckin’ mobsta’
I am both smooth and explosive, and I dominate the scene like a mob boss.

I let them internet popup with no spam blocka’
I allow myself to be all over the internet, with no fear of being blocked as spam.

Keepin it poppin like a chopper movin’ like a helicopta’, nigga
My career is always booming and moving forward, just like a helicopter.

Mhm mhm
Another sign of excitement, as the beat picks up.

Excuse me
The chorus of the song, a gentle request to be heard.

Do me a favor. By the end of the day I need 40 more haters
I am encouraging people to continue to hate me, because success in the music industry often goes hand in hand with controversy.

Winning on my neck so I never go change it
Despite all the criticism, I remain true to myself and won't change my style just to please others.

Ain’t no business like show business one of Indiana’s great is screaming
As an Indiana-based artist, I see myself as one of the state's greatest musical talents, and the entertainment industry as a whole is unmatched in its energy and excitement.

I used to say I was going to do this I used to say I was going to do that Until finally I said forget it It’s time for me to get it
I used to dream about success but was hesitant to take action, but now I am done waiting and am eager to achieve my goals.

Like Jay say “Stop dreaming it start living it”
I follow the advice of fellow successful rapper Jay-Z: stop dreaming about success and instead start living it.

So Got off my ass and start saving my dough
I stopped being lazy, and began saving money and securing my financial future.

That’s when the hating begun like the first of the month
Once I started to gain success, people began hating me just like the first of the month is often the start of a new cycle of bills and debts.

They talkin’ shit by the ton I kept it pushin like Bun Cuzzo
Even though people were talking badly about me, I kept moving forward, much like Bun B, a fellow rapper and collaborator.

I rap for a living you do it for a hobby
This is my career, while others may only rap for fun or as a hobby.

Got chicks like Mariah wanting to “Touch my body”
Women find me attractive and desirable, much like Mariah Carey's song suggests.

Shit, I’m overly cocky with a girl the color of toffee Drizzled over a coke bottle Representin’ that’s mami mi
I am confident and self-assured, especially when with a beautiful woman of colour, who is my pride and joy.

Me right there I swear I’m a player
I am taking an unapologetic stance, declaring my status as a ladies' man.

I make it clap like a snit-a-snap of a snare
My music is so good that it makes people want to dance and clap along, much like the sound of drum beats in a snare drum.

They all glare Well excuse my back My name out there mouth so much It starts to build up like plaque
I can feel the negative energy from people staring and muttering about me, but I am unfazed and am simply moving forward. Their words are like plaque building up in my mouth.

Ehhh So many hard like crack Get smoked the same way
All my haters have the same fate as crack - they will get burned up and smoked out.

And it just makes my day to be able to say Ain’t no business like show business when the Indiana’s great is screaming
In the end, I am proud to be achieving my dreams in the entertainment industry and believe I am one of Indiana's best artists.

1 Hater 2 Hater 3 Hater… 4
A catchy and repeating chorus, highlighting how everyone has haters.

Come On Yeaaa
The song wraps up with more affirmations of enthusiasm and encouragement.

Yes I’m a knuckhead on an escalator
I am a little bit crazy and wild, but always moving up and forward like an escalator.

Rising to the top fuck the haters see ya later
I am always moving up and rising to the top, despite all the negativity from my haters.

My skills shockin’ like a taser For an Indiana Pacer
My talent and abilities are electric, just like a taser, and are fit for any situation, even an Indiana Pacers basketball game.

On point like a laser Tippin bottles with no chaser
My focus is razor-sharp and precise, like a laser pointer. I can enjoy fine drinks without needing any mixers or chasers.

Like the late Biggie Smalls “I just I just want the paper”
In the footsteps of the late rapper Notorious B.I.G., I am motivated by success and wealth.

And my crew are like Purdue Except they crack boiler makers
My team is strong like the Purdue Boilermakers, except they don't make boilers, they smoke them like crack.

I’m a knucklehead assassin If you askin’ any shape form or fashion We gonna get it any way you can imagine like Ain’t no business like show business one of Indiana’s great is screamin’
Overall, I am a wild and unstoppable person, always looking for new challenges and ways to succeed. I am a prime example of how there is no entertainment industry like show business, and as an Indiana artist, I am proof of the state's great talent.
