My groove gets better and better now don't you
I got the skill to deal all the funky shit
Plus the hips that just don't quit
My name is Shanté but you can call me Shany
Makes no diff, word up, word to mommy
I'm still the queen upon the scene
So fly that I cause your man to fiend
Now hold up, things have gotten out of hand
There's a posse of witches effin' up the program
So grab your brooms and prepare for flight
Because I'm back and this time I'm more than hype
I cause a ruckus, yo bust this I cause activity
If action is what you want, the mic give it to me
I got a gift to lift the party personnel
I'm the director, directing the party well
So come along and step in my dimension
And bop your head to my funky invention cause
My groove gets better and better now don't you
The microphone, pass it, indeed we can do this
And when I'm done you're gonna be shoeless
Cause I'm not an amateur, I make you get down
So you better have much soul when I'm around
I go off, get loose like a master
Deal with Shanté, hmm, give me a glass of milk
I treat MC's just like cookies
Chew 'em up, spit 'em out, so all rookies
Be on the lookout, in other words look twice
All competition, huh, I put on ice
Fickle and feeble opponents I find them
When will you learn with me you can't win
I'm just too advanced, a typical high post
I do damage, yes, to the utmost
So hold up, step back, you oughta think twice
Then think again cause Shanté is too nice
On beats like this, goddamn, I get nifty
You must be nuts tryin' to get with me
Or sorta on the psychotic tip
Dissin' like a acrobatic I flip
Cause I'm the Q-U-double E-N of rappin'
Funky thoughts indeed the girl's packin'
You see, I'm hype to the letter
And bust a move, my groove gets better
My groove gets better and better now don't you
Now here we go again and yo I keep goin'
Flowin', doin' what I do best
Damn, I oughta have an S on my chest
Not cause I'm super, I'm superior
Do you agree?
Hmm, your answer, easily
Just like a tune my groove gets better
I flow like a breeze, you blow like a feather
No camera needed to take this picture
Go ahead and smile and I'm still hit ya
Just like a Mack truck, riff and get smacked up
You best back up, hmm, in fact, uh
You better make, huh, a detour
And lead yourself straight for the door
Or come back whenever with the next man
I think it would be clever to have a game plan
Cause I don't hesitate, huh, I just do 'em
I might shoot 'em
Freak it, I might nuke 'em
Blow 'em up, you know what's up
I do the demo, Shanté rocks the S.S. Minnow
In other words, I tips the boat
Competition is comedy, nothin' but a joke
So deal with this, oh come on, never
My name is Shanté and my groove gets better
My groove gets better and better now don't you
