[intro: man ]
thank you, thank you
this is the short shot
i’d like to welcome
roxanne shanté live on stage!
give it up, give it up!
[verse 1]
my name is shanté and the mic is my main man
it’s not soul train or american bandstand
it’s crystal clear to be played on the air
and people everywhere can join the big affair
no particular age
it’ll make frontpage
it’s roxanne shanté
and i’m live on stage
[hook]
live on stage
live on stagе
live on stage
live on stagе
[verse 2]
hurry, hurry
step right up
get ya’ tickets
shant é’s performing and it’s gonna be wicked
i’m down at the ritz
performing my new hits
and front row seats is what forty bucks gets
so rent a tuxedo
buy your girlfriend a rose
call yourself a taxi
to get to the show
you get a good feelin’
the place is packed to the ceilin’
not to mention
promoters are gonna make a k!llin’
people leaving their seats to buy things to eat
all kinds of treats, refreshments, and sweets
you leave the candy cart
to get with your sweetheart
‘cuz in 20 minutes
that’s when the show will start
because
[hook]
i’m live on stage
live on stage
live on stage
shanté is live on stage
[verse 3]
the people are dazed before the curtains are raised
all of a sudden
i am here to amaze
the audience just cheers
top hats in their ears
entertainers come here for the world premier
i walk to the mic
all the fellas get hyped
then i start to jam for the whole d+mn night
right, the crowd is pleased
i can rock them with ease
it’s seventy degrees
and mcs still freeze
don’t touch the gun, cuz’ everyone’s havin’ fun
the job gets done
i put mcs on the run
cuz
[hook]
live on stage
live on stage
live on stage
shanté is live on stage
[bridge]
say hooo! (hoo!)
say ho ho! (ho ho!)
now all the people to the left
just the people to the left
say yeahh! (yeahh!)
say yeah yeah! (yeah yeah!)
now people to my right
i know y’all louder than the people to my left
now lemme hear you say hoo! (hoo!)
say ho ho! (ho ho!)
[hook]
live on stage
live on stage
live on stage
shanté is live on stage
[verse 4]
after your eardrum hears this snare drum
dance! most [?] from the speakers they hear from
the crowd reacts
no one suspects the rough lyrics
marley marl will mix the max, relax
it ain’t magic
it’s music
lyrics, i use it
a beat like this
that how i abuse it
attack it
whack it
smack it
rappers can’t have it
i write and write
just like [?]
as i put on my thinkin’ cap
and then step out where
would a hand clap
or finger snap?
no games, just gimme a beat by james
and i’ll get some names
and blow ‘em up in flames
ima rap star
makin’ a dolla
when the r o x entertains
i give the hurricane holla
rhymes are handmade
black manmade
comin’ out of a war with just a band+aid
fans made me number one
so i get in reverse
time to rehe+rs+
every verse
my rhymes are cursed
when i recite the right stereotype
rappers will hide
comin’ out of my windpipe
raps a reflex
who’s gonna be next?
parties are wrecked direct like an insect
attack
bein’ there for me to get wax
relax
shanté is comin’ six pack
so come correct
death penalty is put into effect
sounds dope
with a tight rope around ya’ neck
lockin’ up weak rappers
in a cage
i’m roxanne shanté
and i’m live on stage
[hook]
live on stage
live on stage
live on stage
that’s right i’m live on stage
[outro]
thank you!
thank you!
thank you!
thank you!
it+ it’s so hard being the best
it’s so hard being humble
thank you!
thank you!
thank you!
thank you!
did you get the money from the promoter?
thank you!
did you get the money from the promoter?
[outro: man]
that’s right
give it up for roxanne shanté
live on stage
come on give it up one more time for roxanne shanté
live on stage
