Let me tell you a story yes
How I got to be so fresh
It happened one day you know
when I was sitting upstairs listening to the radio
hmm
They said there is a constest
We'll give the most money to the girl who's the best
I said you let me enter
cause I know I am down
and everybody knows
it was all around town
huh
And when I entered I came in first place
You should have seen the reaction on my face
They said said yo you won with that song
We gonna call you back so don't wait too long
So I waited bout a week a week or two
And then they finally called me but the song was though
Cause I could not remember not a word that I said
cause you know that night I made it up on my head
yeah
They said well can you sit down
can you write this for me cause it's all around town
It's the most requested record that is on the radio
I said said I'd do it so they said let's go
So I got on the mic and started to say
listen to me because I'm fly Shante
And when I started rappin like this
it is something that they didn't want to miss
Then I had a far far way to go
with a little bit of help from UTFO
As I was saying that I'm Roxanne
Then they got so mad they said ish-got-damn
She is making the top of the charts
You know she didn't even break our record she broke our hearts
I said you Kangol I'm so sorry
He said I'm going upstairs I'm gonna play Atari
I said well you do that cause you know that you chillin
And everything you know yo I am always willing
He said yeah you know we got our own Roxanne
I said yeah I seen that girl, she got face like a man
huh
Tell me something else don't you see
I had to watch my language cause I got so many beats
huh
Now you know what else happened
I went to Marley cause he was a close friend
I said I want to make a record yes
He said come to my house and let me see you confess
I said no not that way no not today
He said you know I'm just playing Shante
I said all right I'll be up there tonight
He said ok but just say you rhymes and please don't bite
I said you insulted me you know
I never have to bite because I always through
He said all right Imma give you a chance
And then when I started rappin I put him in a trans
huh
He started cuttin he doing all right
He said yo come up here tomorrow night
And then the next thing I knew I had did my part
And then I had got a call from Pa Part
He said yo baby that john is fresh
I said thank you very much cause you know that I'm the best
He said yeah you know that you are at the top
I said when I start to roc don't you know I never stop
Then he said yo baby you got the cutesh eyes
He said where did you get them I said I don't know why
Then he said yo who's your manager tie
I said white white white tie
He said ok you get by
I said well a let me tell you I'm not finish
when I start to rockin I really start deminish
And when he said yo baby don't you know that's right
I said yeah that's me I never bite
He said well tell me this could you please sit down
I said no cause this ain't my part of town
So then I got this feeling when it was sort of chilly
I met these dudes name Don and Willie
It started a commotion I felt this wet lotion
And then the next thing you know it started a commotion
Cause Dana came over in the middle of the night
I was listening to the wall all I heard was a fight
So I said let me stay in my room
then Marley broke out with a big ass broom
He said they ain't getting this out of here
I said ok I'll be over right over there
And then along came Magik to save the day
You know what he did he just ran away
cause he's a runaway...
