Have A Nice Day

Some people call me Shanie, some people call me Rox

And those who try to diss I just knocks them out the box

Cos I'm Shanti and y'all know the routine

And here we go again, so all hail the queen

I left you for a while but it was worth the wait

Because it gave me just enough time to create

A funky rhythm that's guaranteed to move the world

Have the party people screamin' out "Go on Girl!"

Just like Diana Ross I'm the boss

And those who disapprove you can go for yours

But to think a girl like me, ha, is easy to take

You should treat me like Nell Carter, give me a break

Cos I'm the super female that's called Shanti

And like Hurricane Annie I'll blow you away

Whenever I'm in a battle, yo, I don't play

So you best go about your way and have a nice day...

A lotta Mc's today really know how to please

But I gave birth to most of them Mc's

So when it comes around to the month of May

Send me your royalty check for Mother's Day

Because yo, ya know, ya can't deal with this

I'm Shanti the microphone grandmistress

A pioneer like Lola Folana

With a name that stands big like Madonna

Speakin' of Madonna some girls on the mic

Rap like virgins and get real tight

But I get loose with the rhymes I produce

That's why I'm queen of the crew with the juice

Cos I'm the super female that's called Shanti

And like Hurricane Annie I'll blow you away

Whenever I'm in a battle, yo, I don't play

So you best go about your way and have a nice day...

Shanti, the baddest around

And a name like that can be broken down

As Supreme Highness Almighty Noble Topics Exponent

And any title for a girl, you can believe I own it

Cos to me there ain't nuttin' fresher

For me to rock... my pleasure

I'll pick up the microphone and start rockin'

Say the funky rhymes that have the people clockin'...

Me, the S-H-A-N-T-E

Good lookin', never took'n female Mc

I'm five foot four, maybe a little bigger

Brown skin complexion with a nice figure

Yes, the super female that's called Shanti

And like Hurricane Annie I'll blow you away

Whenever I'm in a battle, yo, I don't play

So you best go about your way and have a nice day...

You may remember the voice from a few years ago

When I first came out and dissed UTFO

I chilled for a while, I put down my pen

But now some suckas from the Bronx got me started again

Now I'm not out to diss the whole Boogie Down

Just a featherweight crew from that part of town

You made a little record and then you start frontin'

Tried to diss the Juice Crew but ain't hurt nuttin'

Now KRS-ONE you should go on vacation

With that name soundin' like a wack radio station

And as for Scott La Rock, you should be ashamed

When T La Rock said "It's Yours", he didn't mean his name

So step back peasants, poppin' all that junk

Or else BDP will stand for Broken Down Punks

Cos I'm an All-Star just like Julius Erving

And Roxanne Shanti is only good for steady servin
