[Roxanne Shanté] (So fresh)



I'm on the list and, my rhymes are crisp and

Me and ??? are like a ??? and ???

Without fail, everytime I

Get a dope idea for a rhyme I

Choose to save it or scrap it

See Marley for a beat and then rap it

I'm blessed by buddah, I'm not new ta

And sayin rhymes is what I do ta

Pass some of my free time away

Ask me why, and I'ma say

My nickname's MC Brutus

Cause I'm quick to pick up the mic and say, "Yo, let's do this"

The world of hip-hop is so demandin

I lead the pack because I write the funky rhymes that are so



(So fresh)



You're too smart to bite a part two

But if you ever get the nerve or heart to

When I find our behind, forget it

If it's a battle you want, I'm with it

1-2-3-4, Marley Marl, a-hi-hit me

Since when a beat he made not fit me

It's a fact too that I attract to

These beats I'm about to get back to

Girls I scoop, parties that I hoop

And I doubt with your rhymes you can hang with me, troop

Even though I, am a pro I

Grab the mic now and then to show I

Have the skill to, plus the will to

Make the jams you can sit back and chill to

I think about the rhymes, then write em

The first chance that you get, you go bite em

The world of hip-hop is so demandin

I lead the pack because I write the funky rhymes that are so



(So fresh)



In the, beginning of

Around the time when they thought about the spinning of

Records on two turntables

Before they started callin dookie ropes cables

Even today I, you know the way I

Come across with dope rhymes I say, I

First suggest them, then manifest them

Go to Marley's house and Warner Bros. presses em

We had a touch of, but not much of

The def beats that we now have a clutch of

Understand me, we don't plan, we

And might I say myself, goddamn we

Hate to make a jam that ain't slammin

We make the jams that you wanna keep jammin

The world of hip-hop is so demandin

I lead the pack because I write the funky rhymes that are so

(So fresh)
