| My groove gets better and better now don’t it?
 | 
| My groove gets better and better now don’t it?
 | 
| I got the skills to deal
 | 
| All the funky shit, plus the hips that just don’t quit
 | 
| My name is Shanté but you can call me Shannie
 | 
| Makes no diff' word up, word to mommy
 | 
| I’m still the queen up on the scene
 | 
| So fly that I cause your man to fiend
 | 
| Now hold up, this has gotten outta hand
 | 
| There’s a posse of witches f-ing up the program
 | 
| So grab your brooms and prepare for flight
 | 
| Because I’m back and this time I’m more than hype
 | 
| I’m causing raucaus ???
 | 
| Action’s what you want they might give it to me
 | 
| I gotta give to live to my personnel
 | 
| I’m the director, directing the party well
 | 
| So come along and step in my dimension
 | 
| And bob your head to my funky invention cause
 | 
| The microphone passing, indeed we can do this
 | 
| And when I’m done, you’re gonna be shoeless
 | 
| Cause I’m not an amateur, I make you get down
 | 
| So you better have much soul when I’m around
 | 
| I go off, get loose like a master
 | 
| Deal with Shanté, gimme a glass of milk
 | 
| I treat MCs just like cookies
 | 
| Chew 'em up, spit 'em out, to all rookies
 | 
| Be on the look out in other words look twice
 | 
| All competition, huh I put on ice
 | 
| Fickle and feeble opponents I find them
 | 
| When you in line with me you can’t win
 | 
| I’m just too advanced, a typical hot pose?
 | 
| I do damage, yes to the utmost
 | 
| So hold up, step back, you ought to think twice
 | 
| Just think again cause Shanté is too nice
 | 
| On beats like this god damn I get nifty
 | 
| You must be nuts, trying to get with me |
