I'm rollin' in a nine-oh van. california, that's my plan
Got memories mixalot left in limbo, first stop sacremento
Here we go, hit a club called bentleys
Want a skirt to git wit' me, hit me
There's a girl with a back like a cadillac
I walked up and got pushed back
Her boyfriend tell her i'm a play-a
Dropped salt on a shit rhyme say-
My reputation offends this man
Next day hit williamland park
Creepin' like a shark
Spot a bad freak and i swoop like a hawk
"what up?", "howya like to roll wit' a champ?"
"please! all ya'll rappers is tramps"
My reputation is stoppin' my mission
Every freak in sac is dissin'
Back on the four lane freeway
Next stop, the two-one-three, l.a.
The two-one-three is rough
But the mixalot game is tough
Spot a young girl and i start that gamin'
Baby girl asks what set am i claimin'
"just cuz i rap, i gotta be in gang?"
It ain't a black thang, it's a rap thang
Censorship is sweepin' the nation
Messin' up a rap stars reputation
A rappers reputation, that's what i got
So i'm finished with the two-one-three
I knock, baby, but it's time to leave
Two days on the hard rock, boys is cruisin'
Interstate ten, straight to houston
They tell me 'bout the girls in the fifth ward
You know the boys must score
So we hit a fly club called guchies
Lookin' for the skirts with the largest booties
Girlies in the club wasn't takin' no shorts
Showin' no remorse
For a brother like mix, lookin' for the smooth
Didn't need a houston skirt to get with me
But the nights still young
And the hunk ain't done
So we stepped to the van
Attitude's out of it
The next club, the main event
We never think about a dress code
Just step up in the club and let the game roll
But as soon as my boy maharaji pulls up
Some punk starts runnin' up
He said you don't wanna be with a rap star
They play you for your money and your car
Well my boy got crushed but the girl stepped off
With a rap stars rep, the girls are lost
"hey yo, what's up, this is mix i had to make a run
Right quick, but leave your name and number 'n i'll
Getcha right back, peace."
So the posse left houston texas
All the girls keep callin' us sexis
Houston media is givin' us rappers no pity
So we all hit kansas city
In k.c. we go the gates and suns
Gotta get grub 'fore we run
Met a little freak named stacy
I said i'm not just here for the barbecue baby
She gave me that look, like pebbles
I'm acked with bass not treble
So i say, oogley-goo oogley-doo-goo-doo
"what'd you say?" i ain't tellin' you
You see the mix game is laced with riddles
It ain't moaney, it's mix in the middle
In walked my ex named wendy
She got a fresh dooney bag
'cause she's tired of fendi
Oooh, could a brother be busted
Because wendy trusted, me?
An' ah told a lit'l lie 'n
Said i was a loyal guy
Wendy got mad and she wants to dis me
In kansas city
Wendy starts to groovin'
Hands on her hips and her hair starts movin'
She said the mixalot game is phony
Just 'cause i said i'm runnin' girls like ponies
But talkin' that stuff is my occupation
That's how i got this reputation
A rappers reputation, got a rappers reputation
Bring it on down. a rappers reputation, bring it back
A rappers reputation, that's what i got. a rappers
Reputation, peace.

歌詞解析
一句話主旨
描述一名饒舌歌手在巡迴旅途中，因刻板印象與公眾對其身分的反感，導致感情生活處處碰壁的無奈。
主題
身分認同、輿論標籤、饒舌歌手的公眾形象與私生活矛盾。
情緒
自我解嘲、焦慮、挫折、倔強。
意象與手法
歌曲運用公路電影式的敘事手法，將美國不同城市作為場景轉換，透過「車輛」、「夜店」與「女性對象」的互動，構築出一個不斷流動卻始終被「饒舌歌手」標籤囚禁的敘事空間。以第一人稱視角，呈現出外界眼光與自我定位之間的巨大落差。
重點句解讀
一、「Ｍｙ ｒｅｐｕｔａｔｉｏｎ ｉｓ ｓｔｏｐｐｉｎ’ ｍｙ ｍｉｓｓｉｏｎ」（我的名聲阻礙了我的任務）：直接點出歌手的身分標籤已成為社交障礙，無論他如何嘗試建立關係，大眾對饒舌歌手的負面刻板印象皆先入為主地封殺了他的機會。
二、「Ｉｔ ａｉｎ’ｔ ａ ｂｌａｃｋ ｔｈａｎｇ， ｉｔ’ｓ ａ ｒａｐ ｔｈａｎｇ」（這不是族群問題，而是饒舌的問題）：透過這句話強調，大眾對其排斥並非源於種族，而是針對「饒舌歌手」這一職業的偏見，反映了當時社會對饒舌音樂文化的批判與誤解。
三、「Ｔｈａｔ’ｓ ｈｏｗ ｉ ｇｏｔ ｔｈｉｓ ｒｅｐｕｔａｔｉｏｎ」（這就是我如何得到這種名聲）：揭示了表演人格與真實自我之間的拉扯。為了職業需要，他必須展現自信、浮誇的形象，但這種「職業技能」卻反過來在現實生活中成為他人攻擊他的把柄。
適合情境
在面對社會刻板印象感到無力，或是在個人專業形象與真實自我產生衝突時聆聽。
魔鏡站長解析
魔鏡站長
這首歌很有意思，范逸臣用一種很直接的方式，帶我們走了一趟饒舌歌手的公路之旅。歌詞描繪了歌手在不同城市穿梭，想展現魅力卻屢屢碰壁的窘境，那些關於刻板印象的拉扯與無奈，其實藏著創作者對身分認同的辯證。聽著節奏，彷彿能看見那輛在高速公路上奔馳的廂型車，車窗外風景不斷變換，車內的歌手卻始終被外界貼上的標籤困住，那種「明明想展現自我，卻總是被誤解」的焦慮，反而讓整首作品顯得真實而有血有肉。
我很喜歡這種帶點戲謔卻又透著自嘲的敘事，它不只是在講述風流韻事，更像是在探討一個人如何被大眾眼光所定義。當你覺得生活步調太緊湊，或是被旁人的閒言碎語干擾時，不妨把這首歌當作一場公路旅行的配樂，聽聽他在節奏裡如何與這些刻板印象過招。或許你會發現，所謂的形象，終究只是別人眼中的濾鏡，而真正的自己，其實一直都在那條開往下一站的路上。
歌曲冷知識
・歌詞將地名串聯成一場公路旅行，從加州、洛杉磯、休士頓一路唱到堪薩斯市，展現饒舌歌手巡迴演出的奔波感。
・文中以「凱迪拉克」形容女性的身材曲線，將對象比喻為名車，生動傳達出饒舌文化中常見的視覺意象。
・歌詞探討大眾對饒舌歌手的刻板印象，透過「這不是黑人的事，是饒舌的事」一句，直接點出創作者對標籤化的無奈與抗議。
・結尾處將「說大話」定義為職業需求，巧妙地將名聲的負面評價轉化為表演的一部分，展現出饒舌歌手的自我解嘲。
