[Shanté]
Now don't you beef, I don't understand
When did I make you my man?
Because I don't recall picking up the boy
I played with you like a Christmas toy
And then throw you away, put you in a box
Because my name is Shanté and I'm the queen of rock
If you don't have bars and money every day
Then you can't have me 'cause I'm (Shanté!)

[Steady B]
Now there was this girl I seen her every day
In school she looked cool I wanted to relay
This message that I had all bottled up
Beside me, can you see it was my destiny
To have this girl I didn't have a chance
I used to think about me and her romancin'
And every day I used to see her just a-comin' my way
And woulda someday, (Fly Shanté!)

[Shanté]
Now if you said you see me you musta been a fool
'Cause I take a limo every day to school
And if you did stop me, you musta fogged up my glass
And I know that you was late for class
But really I don't care about all of that
Because this is known as real true facts
That when I get mad, what can I say
But you'll feel the wrath 'cause I'm (Shanté!)
[Shanté]
When I say rap, I don't want you to laugh
'Cause it'll knock you out like a big bag of gas
'Cause my rhymes are def, I put them at the top
And you got mad 'cause it's you who got dropped?
What? That is the way that it's supposed to be
'Cause picture a sucker like you dropping me
So listen very close to what I say
Cause I go by the name of Fly (Shanté!)

[Shanté]
People always say, "Shanté, what you doing?
Who is that guy that you are pursuing?"
Well I don't pursue no guys you see
'Cause I have them pursuing me
So listen very close to what I say
Cause I go by the name of Fly (Shanté!)

[Steady B]
Coulda swore I seen this girl drivin' away
I said hello, she wouldn't give me the time of day!
My heart was broken, my dream was shattered
Felt like a stepped-on roach and it really didn't matter
How [?] of me, [?] me
I wake up all sweaty from a [growing?] dream
If you think I'm with Shanté, I'll say I gotcha
'Cause the girl in a dream was named Natasha
[Shanté]
Now if you've never seen this guy, you will know why
I had to turn him down, 'cause you know he ain't fly
He don't dress nice and he don't have gold
He is too rough, only fifteen years old
But see, I had to tell him there's a few things I could teach ya
'Cause this is my church, and when I'm with the preacher
I wanna tell you, so listen very close
'Cause this is the [?] I have to do the very most
Now, he told me about his wet dream
See, he needs to try taking the real thing
But uh, that's all he gets to record his sex
He can't get it from me 'cause I'm (Fly Shanté)
