Shy Ronnie Lyrics

[Intro: Rihanna]
Eh, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Rihanna
And Shy Ronnie

[Chorus: Rihanna]
We're like fire and ice
Taking over the whole world (The whole world)
From the mountaintops
Down to the boys and girls (The boys and girls)
And this tree of knowledge, it grows 'cause we plant the seed (Yeah, ee-ee, yeah, yeah, yeah)
We the teachers of this and we got just what you need
Shy Ronnie

[Verse 1: Shy Ronnie & Rihanna]
My name is Shy Ronnie and I'm walking the streets
You can't tell me nothin', 'cause I'm, straight up equipped
Speak up
When I pop two champagnes we all sippin' bottles
Shy Ronnie, speak up
[?] and we take it full throttle
My name is Shy Ronnie, and I'm the best of the best [?]
Okay, I'll take it from here
Ha ha!
Okay
[Chorus: Rihanna]
We're like fire and ice taking over the whole world (Whole world)
From the mountaintops down to the boys and girls
Hit 'em Shy Ronnie

[Verse 2: Shy Ronnie & Rihanna]
My name is Shy Ronnie and I'm back from the dead
No!
[?] and I'm trying [?]
Move the mic away from your face
[?] and I'm proper in the club [?]
Come on, this beat cost a lot of money!

[Bridge: Rihanna & Shy Ronnie]
Oh no, oh no
He pissed himself
He pissed himself!
Ha ha!
Oh boy
Should have just paid Kanye
Goodbye Shy Ronnie
Bye bye

[Verse 3: Shy Ronnie & Rihanna]
Ha ha!
Name's Shy Ronnie and I'm running this shit
You know I stay steady strapped because life is a bitch
Rihan-

Eh
I treat'm with respect, and back on the streets, [?]
I forgot my purse
You can't mess with my money 'cause [?]
And I got so many moves
Bye bye again
So if I can guarantee
You can get with me but I can't get with you
And I don't need no beat
I'll keep on making acapella
Yeah, you should hang with me
Because my name is Shy Ronnie

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

This song depicts a rapper named Shy Ronnie, who collaborates with Rihanna and ends up speaking very quietly when it’s his turn, even when she tries to get him to speak up. He does finally rap louder later in the end when she leaves the room, revealing that he isn’t actually shy in front of other people (unless he is around Rihanna).
