[Verse 1: Large Professor]

We all know Roger, Roger lives in Queens

Brooklyn, Manhattan, The Bronx and he fiends

For knowledge, and people try to diss him because of that

Surrounded by the ghetto, plus the fact that the brother's black

But Roger gets high.... grades on tests

He smokes brain cells to rest

But brothers jel' him because he has a goal

And gold awards hangin' all off the wall from the brain pain

Behold! Roger doesn't fight, his brain is his left and his right

But if tainted, he just might!

So for you brothers flyin' with a broken wing

Watch Roger do his thing


[Verse 2: Large Professor]

Roger graduated from high school

But didn't advance or enhance, no scholarship, cool

Flip — he did not, he got a job at a parking lot

Teased because he wasn't makin' G's at a crack spot

He started meetin' the people with the high ranks

Attained a job as the manager of 8 banks

Roger started rollin' a Benz

Had a bunch of rich friends, and that's where his ghetto life ends

He rolls around the projects he lived in once in a while

Sees the brothers that was jellin' and cracks a smile

They have rings, but he has a ring of keys and D's

And now my man Roger's worth G's

He doesn't have to rap or sing, he has to think

So watch Roger do his thing


[Verse 3: Large Professor]

Roger has diamonds like I have lyrics

Always in good spirits, and money's never made

"It's hip to be square" is Roger's main motto

Cash comin' out of his ass like he hit the lotto

He reminisces on all the bad years

Remembers his fear and smiles ear to ear

Counts a knot and goes to ?Backa Jaluts? to eat

Hugo Boss on his feet smellin' sweet

Gucci frames and all the high class names

Steppin' super clean on the scene, layin' down game

You can't cramp his style, he's as sharp as the tip of a nail file

You're gonna fail, child!

Check him out while he plays with his ring

Watch Roger do his thing


[Verse 4: Large Professor]

Roger's a Casanova now, he's swimmin' in women

A symbol in sex, messin' with their intellects

Throws parties every week in his happy home

Out on the Island and stays smilin' alone

That's his style — mackin' skins and layin' girls like tiles, not actin' wild

Question: Roger's life seems complete, right?

That's what an education can and might do

It may sound corny, but it's true

Roger does his thing, and so can you

So get your head out the sling

And watch Roger do his thing

Hit it!

My man J.D. Drumsticks gettin' busy

Yo, J.D., chill!
