(Once again my friends and countrymen
|
Lend us your ears and eyes
|
The Showstopper is stupid fresh
|
When will you be satisfied?)
|
|
Yo, bust it Sandy D.
|
Yo, what's up?
|
Have you ever been to jams when people just stand
|
And they pay to come in, and they don't even dance?
|
They're so uncouth they think they're cute
|
Am I lying? No, it's the truth
|
Right now I'm gonna show you how it's supposed to be
|
Cuz we, the Salt and Pepa MCs
|
Will chance the circumstance rocks your pants
|
My fans, this is called the jam
|
|
Sandy...What?...Sandy...What?
|
Sandy, we'll be breaking hearts, ya know
|
That's true, it's all about money though
|
But Douglas and Richie won't like it (So?)
|
Come on then, let's stop the show
|
|
Yo, this beat is stupid fresh
|
Huh, yeah, you know it, cold dissed Doug Fresh
|
Top choice, of course, the rest is soft
|
Set it off, do it Set it off, do it
|
Set it off, do it Set it off, do it
|
|
Listen now, I ain't down to rap
|
Are you serious? Just like a heart attack
|
Come on now, Cher! I don't want to
|
Get on now, Cher! Do I have to? Yeah!
|
|
Well I really don't have too much to say
|
Yo, then here's my story anyway
|
It's just a little somethin' too hot to be missed, girl
|
I was going downtown (??), serious
|
Cher took the train home from work
|
Pissed off because of a stain on my shirt
|
The train made a stop (Where?) Two hundred and five
|
And a little soft guy walked inside
|
|
He wore plastic Bally's and a booty Gucci suit
|
Cracked a little smile and showed a fake gold tooth
|
Was he cute? Negative, he was a dupe
|
Instead of Polo he wore ??
|
La-di-da-di What?
|
La-di-da-di Uh-huh, word to mother
|
|
The boy was rude, I didn't approve
|
He tried to make a move I said, "Stop it, dude!"
|
I started to cuss and began to swear
|
He said, "Listen girl, I like the way you comb your hair
|
And I like the stylish clothes you wear
|
Is there something that I can do
|
To show how much I really care?
|
Like when I'm all alone with you
|
My heart just skips a beat or two
|
And you put that fire inside of me
|
That shows it's more than just a dream
|
And I like it, and I like it"
|
I said, "Please, don't get excited!"
|
|
Don't you know I'm too young for you, mister?
|
Sally from the Valley - she's my sister
|
And that lady you dissed - that was my mother
|
You hurt two of my family, you won't get another
|
He tried to deny it, said it was a lie
|
He wanted to explain, explain to me why
|
I said, "Don't bother, there's really no need
|
Sally died when she hit the concrete"
|
He said, "Come on, you're puttin' me on"
|
As I got up to walk he sang this song:
|
|
"Oh, baby please don't go
|
What must I do to show
|
The way I feel for you, girl
|
Is going to be real?
|
But in reality, I know we'll never be
|
Cuz you're still walking away from me"
|
|
A dis, a dis
