Roger Troutman

Troutman was well known for his use of the talk box, a device that is connected to an instrument (frequently a keyboard) to create different vocal effects. Roger used a custom-made talkbox—the Electro Harmonix "Golden Throat," as well as a Yamaha DX100 FM synthesizer.

Yeah
{He's the master of the game!} 
From the South Bronx 
I've been doin this 
{All the girls know his name} 
All the way from the Northeast  to the West 
Down South  Miami Florida 
{He's the master of the game!} 
Jacksonville {Jacksonville} 
Tallahassee {Tallahassee} 
Master of the game 
{In the rappin' Hall of Fame!} 

Like Tag Team, back again 
Here we go, with a flow, get dealt with quick 
Now Joe I know my rap style pro 
Let 'em know, with the quickness, y'all need to witness 
Step to the side, y'all mind y'all business 
Exercise, like physical fitness 
Ride through, I glide through 
Bass pump to the trunks inside you 
We move it quickly, rap styles swift be	 
Cadillac rollin', neck full gold and 
Crafty and nasty, can't put it past me 
Step with skills, better call your family 
Turn adverse worse, climb in the first verse 
Move when I back it up, attack and I smack it up 
Girls connectin' it, Ultra legend and 
Why y'all rhymes soft, fruity affectionate 
I keep steppin' and, boost my rep again 
Speed up, go slow, you got the next then 
Do the La Bamba, turn to Mexican 
Swift to shift up, change the pitch up 
DJ mix ups, your face get fixed up 
Nuts get licked up, quickly, strictly 

[Chorus: x2] 
{He's the master of the game!} (the master) 
{All the girls know his name} 
{He's the master of the game!} (the master) 
{In the rappin' Hall of Fame!} 

I'm warnin', watch yo' backpack mack 
Yo' crack lack facts I attacks yo' wax 
So fast you press up mess up step up 
Through this when I do this 
I'm the smoothest when I groove it speedy 
Turn back yo, don't try to be greedy 
Houston, Tex, out of New York City 
Girls get pretty, go lickin' them titties 
Astrofunk it revolve in the trunk and 
Party's live, might turn into somethi' 
Let them know though, I'm still pro dough 
Companies what, want to sign me solo 
It's Keith you need, let your man try to read 
Ease the bleed, shut up animal feed 
Step to Keith, let you know what it be G 
Cruiser shades, at the bar can't see me 
Crispy atoms, grab em, pat em 
Suckers don't know, how bad I'm madam 
Turn and flex and servin' necks and 
Indiana wrecks then fools want to flex and 
Y'all won't know when I pull up in a Lex and 
MasterCards, with certified checks and 
Bank bills, fly rims in the hills 
Y'all get cups, get more refills 

[Chorus]

Check your watch, now watch me partner 
Start to welcome back kids like Kotter 
Move your pants, while I rock a little harder 
Hoes and foes, hit em all with blows 
Watch girls work it, movin' unopposed 
Hip to flip, throw the thing to they lip 
When I dress, yes, put em all to the test 
Rock a suede vest, pink jewels on my chest 
Rappin', clappin', fingers start snappin' 
Watch how you actin, I'm rubbin' on the back 
And MC's is slack and your groups sound wack 
Where'd you turn be? Nobody burn me 
Style get complex, why you concerned be	? 
I'm your chalkboard, now you can learn me 
Round and round and big bass soundin' 
Down South Hustler, big bass poundin' 
East West, top down to the bone 
Motorola, on my cellular phone 
Change the tone, get up out my zone 
Movin' next to you, rhyme will flex to you 
Stop I'm overdue, jumpin' over you 
Status gold, to the baddest bro 

[Chorus]
