Well back once again by popular demand
It's '87 y'all, so no more Roxanne
Just the ever lasting name of Shanté, simple and plain
I let the new jacks reign but now I'm here to retain
What's rightfully mine and I think that you'll find
That if it's not Shanté, it's not genuine
I'm smart, intelligent, tasteful and elegant
Deign all you female MCs to be irrelevant
I make a large amount of rhymes up per day
And when I finish, go check the survey
To see who's pumping and I'm on top
Because when I start rapping, I rock non-stop
Throwing def rhymes at you, solid as a statue
Days amaze you with praise and being fat, you ate it
Some hate it but I don't care
It doesn't matter 'cause you're looking at a queen my dear
The supreme, highness, almighty, double top exponent
My groove gets better and better now don't it
Just like a jumbo, people fiend
Study and try to copy off the queen
So as quick as I write 'em, go and try to bite 'em
So I can knock you out the box with another item
A wonderful facility for rhyming with agility
You think that you can get with me? When will it be?
I'm a super heroine like Isis
And when I'm in a battle, I cause the greatest crisis
Realm of the queen, you know the routine
The flyest of them all is on the scene, you know what I mean
I got a role no other girl can portray
And if you wanna describe me, this is what you say
Sexy, devastating, awesome and precious
Some girls are fresh but Shanté's the freshest
So what you know? Y'all bust a show?
Pay attention, listen, watch the girl go
Well here's another chapter, and I have to
Release another bomb as quick as I grab the
M-I-C, then I'll be straight
'Cause I'ma use the microphone as bait
For other female MCs, so what you gonna do to this?
You may be older than me but you're new to this
'Cause I've been out there queen of MCs
While your man was walking 'round in mock necks and Lee's
While you were over here perpetrating a fraud
I was overseas on the charts with Boy George
You're the beginner, Shanté's the winner
Having all the competition for dinner
Sit you on a table with a plate and cup
Say grace and then eat your ass up
So step back 'cause I can hold my own
And every one of y'all be easy 'cause this girl is gone
