Roxanne's Revenge

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

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

A-let me tell you and explain them all to you

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

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

His name is Kangol, and that is cute

He ain't got money, and he ain't got the 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'

But, see, compared to me it's weak compared to mine

Every time that he sees me, he says a rhyme

A-every time I know that I am sayin' somethin' fresher

And every time that I say it there ain't nothin' less

In any category I'm considered the best

And everybody knows I will win the contest

So, then, after that came the Educated Rapper

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

Every time-a that I see him, everything he say

A-every time he says, he says it dumber this way

He said-a: Yeah, you know your mother's name is Mary

But all he wanna do is just-a bust a cherry

Every time that I see him, he's sayin' somethin' new

But let me explain to him what he should do

He should be like me, 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

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

Well, let me tell you somethin' else about the Doctor, too

He don't even know how to operate

He came up to me with some bullshit rap

But let me tell you somethin' 'cause 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 Shantty

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

It's something that you MCs just won't-a miss-a

But, see, you said it in a language so you wouldn't have to bite

And if you think it's cute-a, and you think it's all right

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, holdin' your jock

But everybody knows that you're all on my yacht

I'm just the devastatin', always rockin', always have the niggas clockin'

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

Down with everybody fresh and everyone that I possess

And every time I do it right-a, everyone is sure to bite-a

Rockin' on the beat-a that you can see

And every time I have a DJ like Ice

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

Because a-everything he does is off-the-wall

He ain't right, yeah, he ain't nice

The way he gets on the tables, yes

Compared to my man Marley Marl

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

Everyone knows that he is fresh

Every time you sayin' somethin' just-a like-a this-a

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

And if you're thinkin' that I'm bitin' your beat

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

It ain't nothin' that I don't wanna miss-a

Because my name is Roxanne-a, and I came to say

I'm rockin' to the beat-a, and I do it every day

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

Lemme show you what you can do, baby

I have all the niggas droppin' down like this

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

Yeah, I am fly but don't take this

And everybody knows I don't go for it

So, if you're tryin' to be cute and you're tryin' to be fine

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

You think you are God, but you do eat lard

Tryin' to be like me, yeah, is very hard

Tryin' to be cute, and you're tryin' to be fly

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

So I can take you home, make you relax

And everybody knows that you're out there, tryin' to tax

Like corn-on-the-cob, you're always tryin' to rob

You need to be out there, get yourself a job

Yeah, you're tryin' to be in search of a Roxanne

But lemme let ya know--you're not a real man

'Cause a Roxanne needs a man, and yes

Someone, yeah, who will never fess

Someone fresh who always address

And then I'll say, yeah, the rest

'Cause 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 vein

And then it won't cause no kind of pain

I ask you a question, I wanna know why

But yet, and still, you're tryin' to be fly

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

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

(Roxanne, Roxanne, oh, my goodness! I wanna be your man!)

(Roxanne, Roxanne)

(And here's our game-plan!)
