Roxanne's Revenge (Re-Recorded)

Well, my name is Roxanne, a-don't you know?

I just a-cold rock a party, and I do this show

I said I met these three guys and you know it's true

So let me tell you and explain them all to you

I met this dude with the name of a hat

I didn't even walk away, I didn't give him no rap

But then he got real mad, and he got a little tired

If he worked for me, you know he would be fired

He wears a Kangol and that is true

But he ain't got no money and he ain't got no loot

And every time that I see him, he's always a-beggin'

And all the other girls that he's always tryin' to leggin'

Every time that I see him, he says a rhyme

But compared to me, they're weak compared to mine

Every time that I know that I am sayin' somethin' fresher

In any category I'm considered the best

And every time that I say it, there ain't nothing less

And everybody knows I will win the contest

Then after that came the educated rapper

His fingers start to snappin', and my hands starts to clappin'

Every time that I see him, everything he say

He rock-a to the beat and then he come up this way

He said, "Yeah, you know your mother's name is Mary

And from what I heard, your father is a fairy"

But every time that I see him, I sayin' something new

But let me explain to him what he should do

He should be like my, a fly MC

Don't never have to bite, we're always right

I have the freshest rhymes that I do recite

And after that, and you know it's true

Well, let me tell you something else about the doctor, too

He ain't really cute, and he ain't great

He don't even know how to operate

He came up to me with some crabbish rap

But let me tell you something, don't you know it was wack?

So when he came up to me, I told him to step back

He said, "You call yourself an MC?"

I said, "This is true"

He said, "Explain to me really what MCs must do"

I said, listen very close 'cause I don't say this every day

My name is Roxanne and they call me Shanté

But ever time-a I say a rhyme-a just-a like-a this-a

It is something you MCs can't miss-a

So, Kangol, if you think you're cute, you think it's alright

That's why you said it in a language so you wouldn't have to bite

You started talkin' pig Latin, didn't make no sense

You thought you was cute, yeah, you thought you was a prince

You're walkin' down the block, yeah, around when you're gonna clock

And everybody knows that you're all on my yacht

I'm just the devastain', always rockin'

Always have the flockas clockin'

Everybody knows it's me, yeah, the R-O-X-A-N-N-E

Everyone knows I am fresher, any category best-er

So every time I start to write-a, everyone assists or to bite-a

Every time I do it, yeah, you know it is-a me-a

Rockin' on the beat as you can see

So, the UTFO Crew, you know what you can do

Let me tell you one for me, and then I'll tell you one for you

Every time you say a rhyme-a just-a like-a this-a

It ain't nothing I don't wanna miss-a

And if you think you're right and I'm bitin' your beef

Well, then you just better know and a-listen to me

'Cause my name is Roxanne-a and I came to say

I rock it to the beat and I do it this way

I'm conceited, never beated, never heard of defeated

I'm rockin' to the beat-a and you know it is-a me-a

The R-O-X-A-N-N-E-a

And if you wanna play a little game for me

Let me show you what you can do, baby

'Cause with a twist of my cheek and a twist of my wrist

I have all the guys droppin' down like this

Yeah, I am fly, that I must admit

But everybody knows I don't go for it

So if you're tryna be cute and you're tryna be fine

You need to cut it out 'cause it's all in your mind

Tryna be like me, yeah, it is very hard

You think you are God, but you do eat lard

Tryna be cute and you're tryna be fly

Don't you know you wish you could be my guy?

So I could take you home, make you relax

And everybody knows that you're out there tryna tax

Like corn on the cob, you're always tryna rob

You need to be out there lookin' for a job

Yeah, you're tryna be and talk about Roxanne

But let me let you know, you're not a real man

'Cause Roxanne needs a man, and, yes

Someone fresh who always dress

Someone, yeah, who will never fess

And then I'll say, yeah, forget the rest

You gotta be cute and you're tryna be fly

But all you wanna be is Roxanne's guy

Because I turned you down without a frown

Embarrassed you in front of your friends, made you look like a clown

And all you do is get real mad

And you talk about me and make me look bad

And everybody knows how the story goes

There's no ifs, no ands, no buts, or suppose

No coke up your nose, no dope in your veins

And then it won't cause no kinda pain

But yet and still, you're tryna be fly

I asked you a question, I wanna know why

Why'd you have to make a record 'bout me?
