The Riddler Lyrics
[Intro]
Dead crosswords puzzlin' yourself
See? That's what I'm talkin' bout
When you take the Johnny Blaze
And you take that game and you plug that here into Bobby Steels
Now you are playin' with power.. with power.. power
[Verse 1]
I got your mind twisted!
Unrealistic wavelength drainin' on your brain-strip inflicted!
Crosswords puzzlin' your delf
Questionin' your own mental health, yeah!
It's like a maze within itself, yeah!
Check the grimey, slimey, crimey crim-inim-inal indivi-dual
I be searchin' for the Dark Knight
Lurkin' in the shadows of the city, he roll with jiggy
My crime committee robbin' every Gotham piggy bank blind
Take a journey through the mind of a Riddler
[Hook]
Tax-free money — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
A heist to get the ice — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
A body for a price — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
The Riddler!
Dead crosswords puzzlin' yourself
See? That's what I'm talkin' bout
When you take the Johnny Blaze
And you take that game and you plug that here into Bobby Steels
Now you are playin' with power.. with power.. power
[Verse 1]
I got your mind twisted!
Unrealistic wavelength drainin' on your brain-strip inflicted!
Crosswords puzzlin' your delf
Questionin' your own mental health, yeah!
It's like a maze within itself, yeah!
Check the grimey, slimey, crimey crim-inim-inal indivi-dual
I be searchin' for the Dark Knight
Lurkin' in the shadows of the city, he roll with jiggy
My crime committee robbin' every Gotham piggy bank blind
Take a journey through the mind of a Riddler
[Hook]
Tax-free money — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
A heist to get the ice — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
A body for a price — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
The Riddler!
[Verse 2]
Once again, it's the mind bender, three-time felony offender
Demented, brain cemented, mixed in the blender
I lose ya, mass-confusion, question mark clues in
What, where, why, who's in.. quiz!
Time to ask yourself who it is
Sheisty P.L.O. underhanded biz, invadin' brothers' wigs
Can I live? Corrupt and bringin' all the misery and sufferin'
Pain, you couldn't cure with a Bufferin
Rotatin', ridiculous, rapid-fire riddle
Bat get trapped in the middle of The Riddler!
[Hook]
Murder for the evil — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
To this gem, there is no sequel — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
Big up to all my peoples — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
It's the Riddler!
[Verse 3]
Observe if you will
I'm in my hide-out in the back of the hill
I crack a wall, then I caught about a mil
Co-defendants Johnny Blaze and Bobby Steels
We was blazin' hot wheels
Turn the corner, you can hear the wheels squeal (Argggghhh!!!!)
On that ass fast was the Batmobile
I can tell by the demon on the grill, this was real
Alley-cat screamin', I hit a trash can
Garbage everywhere, money flyin' out the bags and
Tryin' to escape Po-9 with the cape, or else he'd be headed upstate
It's The Riddler!
Once again, it's the mind bender, three-time felony offender
Demented, brain cemented, mixed in the blender
I lose ya, mass-confusion, question mark clues in
What, where, why, who's in.. quiz!
Time to ask yourself who it is
Sheisty P.L.O. underhanded biz, invadin' brothers' wigs
Can I live? Corrupt and bringin' all the misery and sufferin'
Pain, you couldn't cure with a Bufferin

[Hook]
Talkin' suicide — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
If you're speakin' homicide — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
You wanna talk genocide? Not a problem!
(That's no problem)
That's no problem — it's The Riddler!
[Outro]
Word up, that's no problem
Stim-ulim-uli, stim-ulim-uli
Feel good, don't it?
And you know it!
Got the.. hotter!
You're playin'.. with.. power
Talkin' suicide — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
If you're speakin' homicide — not a problem!
(That's no problem)
You wanna talk genocide? Not a problem!
(That's no problem)
That's no problem — it's The Riddler!
[Outro]
Word up, that's no problem
Stim-ulim-uli, stim-ulim-uli
Feel good, don't it?
And you know it!
Got the.. hotter!
You're playin'.. with.. power
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
“The Riddler” was Method Man’s contribution to the Batman Forever soundtrack. RZA provided a eerie-but-accessible beat that sampled the 1960’s Batman TV show theme song, and it reached 56 on the Billboard Hot 100 (his fourth-highest single). In the video, Method Man raps with clips of Jim Carrey’s Riddler and a storyline where he, “Don Provolone,” eliminates a rival crime boss with a classic time bomb.
