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
敘述一名饒舌歌手在巡迴各地時，因大眾對嘻哈歌手的刻板印象與偏見，導致其私下社交與情感關係頻頻受阻的困境。
主題
公眾形象與個人私生活之間的矛盾，以及嘻哈文化在當時社會所面臨的誤解與標籤化。
情緒
無奈、自嘲、防衛且帶有對社會偏見的反思。
意象與手法
以公路旅行串聯不同城市，將「饒舌歌手的聲譽」具象化為一種社交阻礙。運用敘事手法，透過不同城市發生的衝突，凸顯大眾對歌手「花心」、「唯利是圖」或「與幫派有關」的刻板偏見。
重點句解讀
一、「My reputation is stoppin' my mission」：這句話直接點出核心衝突，歌手的公眾名聲不僅是身分象徵，更成了他在現實生活中與人建立深度連結的絆腳石，導致他的追求目標屢屢碰壁。
二、「It ain't a black thang, it's a rap thang」：此句將焦點從種族議題轉向職業屬性，強調大眾對饒舌歌手的排斥是基於對該文化的誤解與審查，而非單純的種族偏見，揭示當時社會對饒舌音樂的戒心。
三、「But talkin' that stuff is my occupation / That's how i got this reputation」：歌手坦承其表演風格中誇大、狂傲的形象，僅是為了履行職業所需的表演成分，卻因公眾無法區分舞台與現實，導致這種虛構的「聲譽」成為他揮之不去的標籤。
適合情境
在反思媒體形象與真實自我差異時，或討論嘻哈文化在早期發展階段如何被主流社會誤讀與妖魔化的時刻。
魔鏡站長解析
魔鏡站長
這首歌聽起來特別有意思，像是把公路電影的節奏塞進了節拍裡。車子用一種很直白的敘事方式，帶我們橫跨好幾個城市，從加州一路開到休士頓再到堪薩斯。這種奔波感不只是為了演出，更像是一場關於「標籤」的試煉。在那樣的年代，饒舌歌手這個身分，彷彿成了一道揮之不去的濾鏡，走到哪裡，身邊的人總是用預設的眼光審視他，不管是因為誤解或是刻板印象，那種走到哪都被貼標籤的無奈，其實藏在那些輕鬆的韻腳底下。
我特別喜歡歌裡那種雖然被拒絕、被質疑，卻還是繼續開著車往前走的執著。他不急著辯解，反而用一種近乎自嘲的姿態，把這些來自外界的誤解，當成是自己生活的一部分。這首歌很適合在開長途車的時候聽，那種流動的風景配上他漫不經心的語氣，你會發現，所謂的「名聲」其實很沉重，但只要保持著那份遊走城市的灑脫，這些煩惱似乎也就沒那麼重要了。這不僅是一個饒舌歌手的自白，更是每個在社會框架下試圖做自己的人，最真實的寫照。
歌曲冷知識
・歌詞將「饒舌歌手的身分」比喻為一場公路旅行，記錄從加州到休士頓再到堪薩斯城的路途見聞。
・作者巧妙運用「凱迪拉克」的車體意象來形容女性的身材，展現強烈的街頭敘事風格。
・透過「這不是種族問題，這是饒舌問題」的歌詞，直接點出當時大眾對饒舌歌手的刻板印象與誤解。
・結尾處以語音留言的口吻呈現，讓整首歌從單向的敘事轉變為與聽眾對話的私密感。
