Robert Trujillo was born in Santa Monica, California.
He was a member of Ozzy Osbourne's band for a number of years starting in the late 90s. Trujillo was the subject of controversy for re-recording Bob Daisley's bass tracks for reissued versions of Osbourne's albums Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman because of Daisley's claim of not receiving proper royalties.[citation needed] During this time, Trujillo formed an experimental supergroup, Mass Mental, with then Dub War singer Benji Webbe, whose "ragga-punk-metal" outfit had just disbanded. The band released one studio album (exclusively in Japan) and one live album of their performance in Tokyo before disbanding. Zakk Wylde, a personal friend and bandmate from the Ozzy days, also recruited him to play with Black Label Society for a few shows.

Robert John Downey Jr. (born April 4, 1965) is an American actor who made his screen debut in 1970 at the age of five, appearing in his father's film Pound, and has worked consistently in film and television ever since. During the 1980s, he had roles in series such as coming of age films associated with the Brat Pack. His role in Less Than Zero (1987) was the first time Downey's acting would be commended by critics. After Zero, Downey was cast in starring roles in bigger films, such as Air America (1990), Soapdish (1991), and Natural Born Killers (1994). He played Charlie Chaplin in the 1992 film Chaplin, for which he received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
Between 1996 and 2001, Downey was frequently arrested on drug-related charges. After being released from the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility and State Prison in 2000, Downey joined the cast of the hit television series Ally McBeal playing the new love interest of Calista Flockhart's title character. His performance was praised and received accolades, but his character was written out when Downey was fired after two drug arrests in late 2000 and early 2001. After one last stay in a court-ordered drug treatment program, Downey finally achieved lasting sobriety and his career began to take off again. He appeared in semi-independent films such as The Singing Detective (2003), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005), and A Scanner Darkly (2006). He also had supporting roles in the mainstream films Gothika (2003) and Zodiac (2007). In 2004, Downey released his debut studio album The Futurist.
Robert's appearance is something to behold
Dressed in the finest of store bought clothes
My mamma sews my clothes cause I'm just a poor girl
But Robert is as real as his daddies gold
Robert could have any girl that he wanted
But his feelings for me each day seems to grow
He don't know the reason, that he's so drawn to me
But there is a story that Robert doesn't know
Oh Robert
Oh Robert
Robert is constantly making eyes at me
He misunderstands the feelings we share
There's no way that I can return his glances
But I know the meaning of the feeling that's there
Robert if you knew, there once was a rich boy
In love with a poor girl, long time ago
But the folks of that rich boy, would not let them marry
And I am a symbol of the love that they stole
Oh Robert
Oh Robert
Robert, oh Robert if you only knew
The same blood is flowing in both me and you
That rich boy's your father, but he's also mine
And my mamma's the poor girl that he left behind
Oh Robert
Well, this is Robert
And I'm stoned again
Lights are out
A drink in my hand
I've got everything
What I do not need
And I finally reached
The dark end of the street
Oh. Robert
With a smile on his face
No more sorrows
Here in the mud
No tomorrows
Just a life on drug
My life is damned cold
I really lost my heat
Because I finally reached
The dark end of the street
I don't understand
Whatever I say
I use to talk in a very
Roundabout way
Lies are the trips through
My boaring days
Hoping once to get
Far away
I didn't leave footprints
Wherever I've been
I call it the value
Of not to be seen
Nobody knows me
A directory I don't need
It's rather lonely
At the dark end of the street
(Lötzsch , Vollbehr , Schlüter)
Robert sitzt vor´m Fernseher
Doch das macht ihn nicht an
Jeden Abend derselbe Mist hier
Jeden Abend dasselbe Programm
Und er träumt wie es wohl wär´
Wenn er ein Mädchen hätte
So eine wie die Gisela
So eine richtig Nette
Das hast du dir doch selbst verbaut
Gisela die hat dir vertraut
Doch dann kamst du mit deiner Eifersucht
Und schlugst das arme Mädchen in die Flucht
Du bist mit ihr nie ausgegangen
Damit hat es damals angefangen
Du hattest immer Angst davor
Sie trifft mal einen anderen Mann
Doch Robert bitte stell dir mal vor
Den traf sie auch so
Und du bist schuld daran
Das hast du dir doch selbst verbaut
Gisela die hat dir vertraut
Doch dann kamst du mit deiner Eifersucht
Und schlugst das arme Mädchen in die Flucht
Neulich hast du sie mal wieder geseh´n
Vor´m Tschibo-Kaffeestand
Mittlerweile ist sie dick und rund
Und hat zwei Kinder und´n Schäferhund
Und plötzlich fühlt sich Robert nicht mehr allein
Denn so eine wie die Gisela
Die muß es wirklich nicht sein
Robert calls me on the telephone
He wants to make sure that I'm still at home
He pauses a second, mouths a silent prayer
It's nice to know that someone really cares
At all
His hands are planted and they're gonna stay
It's good as gone and very so far away
You say you want it want it want it
Opportunity is what you make
Whoa yea
Now its getting late oh
Your shoulders are moving, oh
And tell me where you're going, oh
Tell me where you're going, oh
Step foot out of this lonely house
You don't have to turn around, no
But tell me where you're going, oh
Tell me where you're going, oh
Robert keep your hands dry
Robert keep your hands out of sight
Now its getting late, oh
I can see straight through your skin
To your bones
And I know where you're going, oh
I know where you're going, oh
Robert keep your hands dry
Robert keep your hands out of sight
Robert keep your hands dry
