[Verse 1]
Make way for the brother
Rising from undercover
Super fly for the '90s
'Cause I finally discovered
Had to get it corrected
'Cause I know that you want it
Making sure that it's funky
So you never sleep on it
Tell you straight from the get-go
What some people don't get though
Is the mind of the Rizz is
From the heart of the ghetto
So to sing was my ladder
'Til my pockets get fatter
Family strugglin' hard
And it's making me madder
So I decided to kick it
Let the public pick it
All the rebels can bump it
And the suckers can lick it
Couldn't wait to release it
'Cause I knew you would feel it
And relate to the topic
So it's time I reveal it
It's Rated R
[Interlude]
("Don't call me a New Jack")
Come on
("R-I-Z-Z-Y")
What you sayin'
("Don't call me a New Jack")
It's rated R, boy
("Don't call me a New Jack 'cause Jack ain't new to this")
(Do it, baby)
Oh yeah, I'ma do it, baby

[Verse 2]
What ever made you think that I had a weak mind?
Is it because I play the back when it's not my time?
Well, maybe this time, I'll just showboat out
And be the only body anybody's talking about
'Cause I depend on this design to designate defeat
To face enough minds to get it, and a few is deplete
Never late, far from hate, my head's on straight
My expedition, first mission, New Edition of state
I buy my mother one mansion and a Rolls to go
Write the mansion off in taxes so I can buy more
Sometimes even I can't understand
How I can be so chill and yet a business man
And though you like what I'm doing, speech and motion combined
This is not my profession, just a hobby of mine
It's Rated R
[Bridge]
("Don't call me a New Jack")
You understand?
("R-I-Z-Z-Y")
Then come on
("Don't call me a New Jack")
Come on
("Don't call me a New Jack 'cause Jack ain't new to this")
(Do it, baby)
(Do it, baby)
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
And the ladies say
(Do what you're doin') Keep doin' it, baby
(Doin' it with the R) All the ladies say
(Do what you're doin') Doin' it
(Doin' it with the R) Come on, and the ladies say
(Do what you're doin') Doin' it
(Doin' it with the R) Drop the masterpiece
("Can you feel it?")
Kick it
("Can you feel it?")

(Do it, baby)
("Don't call me a New Jack")
Come on, keep doin' it
(Do it, baby)
("Don't call me a New Jack 'cause Jack ain't new to this")
Come on, keep doin' it
(Do it, baby)
Come on, keep doin' it
(Do it, baby)
("R-I-Z-Z-Y")
Keep doin' it, 'cause I'ma do it to ya
(This rhythm is Rated R)
(Do it, do it, do it, do it)
(Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it)
("Don't call me a New Jack 'cause Jack ain't new to this")
[Verse 3]
Yo, it's the rhythm of, the rhythm of, the rhythm of, the rhythm of
The rhythm of the Rizzy Moe sound
Snatch you up, then smack you back down
Rip your soul, take control of your body
As I run things my way, you do what I say
'Cause all of my life I've dreamt about makin' it
It's all about takin' it, no time to be fakin' it
'Cause just wanted to see if you was real about makin' it hype
And it you're not, yo, pass me the mic
You're just a punk motherf.... on the microphone
You need to step down (This rhythm is rated R)
And hand me the throne
And don't call me a New Jack 'cause Jack ain't new to this
The reason you're scared of me is 'cause you're not true to this
Style of music because this music's forever
Especially when it's well thought out and cleverly put together
R-I-Z-Z-Y M-O-E professional 'til the E-N-D
It starts a controversy

[Outro]
(This rhythm is Rated R)
I think you better tell 'em, baby
(This rhythm is Rated R)
(This rhythm is Rated R)
You know why? You heard what she said, right?
(Do it, baby) ("R-I-Z-Z-Y")
Yo, it's rated R
(Do it, baby) (This rhythm is Rated R)
It's Rated R, Rated R for Ralph Tresvant, you understand?
Rated R for Rizz, Rated R for Rizzo
(This rhythm is Rated R)
("R-I-Z-Z-Y")
Yo, strap 'em down
Okay, there it is
This one's going out to my boys BBD, stands for Bell Biv DeVoe
It's got to go out to Johnny Gill
And you know I can't forget about my partner in crime Bobby Brown
Tell 'em, baby
(This rhythm is Rated R)
Uh-huh, Rated R for Ralph T, here we go
(Do it, baby) ("Don't call me a New Jack")
(Do it, baby) ("Don't call me a New Jack 'cause Jack ain't new to this")
(Do it, baby)
(Do it, baby) ("R-I-Z-Z-Y")
(Do it, baby) ("Don't call me a New Jack")
(Do it, baby) ("Don't call me a New Jack 'cause Jack ain't new to this")
(Do it, baby)
(Do it, baby) ("R-I-Z-Z-Y")
(Do it, baby) ("Don't call me a New Jack")
