[00:51.95]A funky rhythm that's guaranteed to move the world
[00:54.22]Have the party people screaming out,"Go on Girl!"
[00:56.75]Just like Diana Ross,I'm the boss

[01:12.86]So you best go about your way and have a nice day
[01:24.69]A lotta MCs today really know how to please
[01:26.87]But I gave birth to most of them MCs
[01:29.14]So when it comes around to the month of May
[01:31.43]Send me you royalty check for Mother's Day
[01:33.80]Because yo,ya know ,ya can't deal with this
[01:36.28]I'm Shanté the microphone grandmistress
[01:39.21]A pioneer like Lola Folana
[01:41.29]With a name that stands big like Madonna
[01:43.72]Speaking of  Madonna,some girls on the mic
[01:45.94]Rap like virgins and get real tight
[01:48.22]But I get loose with the rhymes I produce
[01:50.59]That's why I'm queen of the crew with the juice
[01:53.17]Cos I'm the super female that's called Shanté
[01:55.19]And like Hurricane Annie I'll blow you away
[01:57.47]Whenever I'm in a battle,yo,I don't play
[01:59.69]So you best go about your way and have a nice day
[02:40.31]Shanté,the baddest around
[02:41.88]And a name like that can be broken down
[02:44.32]As Supreme Highness Almighty Noble Topics Exponent
[02:46.90]And any title for a girl,you can believe I own it
[02:49.47]Cause to me there ain't nothing fresher
[02:51.50]For me to rock my pleasure

[03:14.34]So you best go about your way and have a nice day
[03:35.51]You may remember the voice from a few years ago
[03:37.59]When I first came out and dissed UTFO
[03:39.97]I chilled for a while,I put down my pen
[03:42.29]But now some suckas from the Bronx got me started again
[03:44.67]Now I'm not out to diss the whole Boogie Down
[03:46.94]Just a featherweight crew from that part of town
[03:49.37]You made a little record and then you start fronting
[03:51.69]Tried to diss the Juice Crew but ain't hurt nothing
[03:54.07]Now KRS-ONE,you should go on vacation
[03:56.45]With tha name sounding like a wack radio station
[03:58.77]And as for Scott La Rock,you should be ashamed
[04:00.84]When T La Rock said "It's Yours",he didn't mean his name
[04:03.27]So step back,peasants,popping all that junk
[04:05.64]Or else BDP will stand for Broken Down Punks
[04:08.03]Cause I'm an all-star just like Julius Erving
[04:10.40]And Roxanne Shanté is only good for steady serving
