Viktor Vaughn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm only rhyming where the drums is at
Y'all niggaz think y'all slick wit that bullshit bump that
Y'all pay V for flowing to the beat
Not for what he know that got hoe's hoeing in the streets
That's for him to know
And for they to never find out
About the kidnap, blind fold, and the blind mouse
And I know
Y'all wanna see a wino bring the wine out
Cat wit a dead mouse is how he catch the phrase and pause plays wit it
Kill it
And eat off it for days kid it
Who ever ain't get it ain't supposed to
For standing still close to
Bandits will ghost you
No shoot Sherlock
I don't know how they do on your block
Out here we rock on to the sure shot
Shit still ain't stop keep it on till your peeps is gone
We be on the creep no matter what you keep it on
CD whop
Peep
Catch the beat to ridiculously
People think he study levitations true mystery
How to power an envious scallon till he got him for his sweet 16
He said Ed be wilding
Rumor has it things got violent
He clobbered him and broke the fuck out
But he ain't try to rob him
I told her don't tell your man that's the trouble with these chicks
Next experiment
Twelve strands from double helix
No
I haven't seen Kess Felix
Oh yeah
You stay away from her with those lyrics
Please
Aint nobody fucking after her
I'm out of here as soon as I fix the flux capacitor
N O N and speak to V in a proper manner
before he stabs ya and put out all type of proper gander
Stop the slander
Chop the hand of a thief
And cut the mouth off of who ever comes out they teeth
V sell time to an inmate
And then tell him a rhyme for the hell of it to demonstrate
They know who's the renown beat critic
Do a street lyric like that's a neat trick
Off on a tangent
He ain't got a cent
Supposed to go to management and spent it getting bent
Sparky
I had enough of your malarkey
For one don't mark me and who you calling darky
Agitate in the dark
In Viktor Vaughn's song "A Dead Mouse," the rapper first notes that he only rhymes to the beat of the drums and warns other rappers about trying to use his style. He raps about being paid for his flow, but also keeping certain knowledge to himself. Vaughn then introduces the idea of a "Kidnap, blind fold, and a blind mouse," suggesting a possible violent scenario. However, the coroner's report indicates that the mouse simply died on its own. Vaughn also references the famous phrase "No shit, Sherlock" while describing the way he and his peers move forward with their music.
Moving into the second verse, Vaughn raps about a person named Ed who seems to have been violently attacked by someone in the community. He tells a woman to keep her involvement with Ed's situation quiet, and references scientific concepts including "double helix" and "flux capacitor." As the verse progresses, Vaughn becomes more aggressive, warning people about the consequences of stealing or lying. He mentions selling time to an inmate in order to demonstrate his skills as a rapper and refers to himself as a "renown beat critic."
Overall, the song touches on themes of violence and secrecy, while also drawing on references from popular culture and science. Vaughn's unique flow and use of language help to make the song stand out among other hip-hop tracks.

Punish a thief severely
And cut the mouth off of who ever comes out they teeth
And silence anyone who speaks out against us
V sell time to an inmate
I make money by rapping for a prisoner
And then tell him a rhyme for the hell of it to demonstrate
And then I rap just for fun to show off
They know who's the renown beat critic
They know I'm well-known for being a good judge of music
Do a street lyric like that's a neat trick
Rap impressively like it's nothing
Off on a tangent
Talking about something unrelated
He ain't got a cent
He doesn't have any money
Supposed to go to management and spent it getting bent
He was supposed to give the money to his bosses and spend it on drugs and alcohol
Sparky
A name or nickname
I had enough of your malarkey
I'm tired of your nonsense
For one don't mark me and who you calling darky
Don't label me or use racial slurs against me
Agitate in the dark
Cause trouble secretly
