She Died

Lyrics

[Intro] Extra, extra, read all about it Pick up your number one paper at your newsstand, Roxanne! Hey I just picked up a paper, it is true, Roxanne is dead! (Well tell me something, how did she die?) From too much rap [Verse 1] Yo Kangol, and UTFO Doctor of Surgery, you all should know That Roxanne, her story is through No one knows it better than the undertaker dude From beginning to end, I knew it then That one day Roxanne would end I was sitting in my office lookin' over the file The telеphone rung and caught me by surprise Hеllo, may I help you so? (Roxanne just passed out on the floor) Was she shocked, or having a heart attack (No, she just died of too much rap) Well let me clear this up before it get out of hand Roxanne, Roxanne is dead my friend It may hit with you a little surprise But man oh man, we all have to die [Hook] Roxanne, Roxanne (She died) Of too much rap [Verse 2] I heard the stories again and again But now we at the chapter where the story ends To the friends of Roxanne, I'm sorry to say That you had to hear the matter and hear it this way I know you're thinkin' of whether or not Did Roxanne really die of what you call the rap shock? I think she knew that her day will come Stuck-up Roxanne will be number one Like the Super Bowl, and Olympics gold Roxanne fame has shattered the globe That's what we do, just bow our heads And say to ourselves why now Roxanne is dead [Hook] Roxanne, Roxanne (She died) Of too much rap Roxanne, Roxanne (She died) Of too much rap [Verse 3] We're gathered here today for the final word No more ugly allergy from doc of surgery And Kangol tellin' how Roxanne used to be It's all over, finished to the end Parents of Roxanne, just start over again Now what is this mess that Roxanne is a man? She has curly hair and light brown skin She told me this, to read her will So everyone out there will know the real deal [Hook] Roxanne, Roxanne (She died) Of too much rap Roxanne, Roxanne (She died) Of too much rap [Verse 4] Why don't you tell me what the will says? My name is Roxanne with fortune and fame And Kangol with the rap that you cannot understand Rappin' Pig Latin is preferred to be dumb If people could see you they may buy a gun You never can get it or have a real thrill But deep down inside you could pray that you will That's why I wrote this to my lawyer friend So he could read it off to those who won't end Doc of surgery, where is your degree? Too dumb to say you gave lessons to me When I did give you time to prove what I can do Your eyes got big and your mouth shut too So tell the people and tell them the truth That you're no kind of doctor to MC to And people who think Roxanne is a man My mama gave birth to a gift that can Give any man without hesitating I was just too scared I might receive a baby From any old body that don't know how to do Carry themself as a real man do I want to say thanks to those who can see A S-E-X-Y, you know, lady So this is my will so you will know When I'm dead and gone Roxanne turned gold [Verse 5] I'm happy to say, so let me introduce G-E-N-E Cooper to you He was around when it all went down As we carry Roxanne to the burial ground It was shaky, a sight to see Walkin' with the legend that controls the street My name, I want you all to know Sweet Talking J who just buried the show Of Roxanne, there's no more to be told And that's the real way how the story goes!
