Fly Shanté (def mix) Lyrics by Steady B

1985

(Intro)
Yo Stead, where's Shanté?
Man, she dumped me
She dumped you?
Yeah, man
How you get involved with her anyway?
(Steady B)
Now it was this girl I seen her every day
In school she looked cool I wanted to relay
This message that I had all bottled up
Beside me, can you see it was my destiny
To have this girl I didn't have a chance
I used to think about me and her romancin'
And everyday I used to see her just a-comin' my way
And woulda someday, (Fly Shanté!)
(I'm Shanté!)
(Steady B)
She would come to school, walkin' up that hill
I would say to myself, "Lay down the deal"
I get a glimpse of that face, turn around she's gone
And I would hit myself, saying "Damn, what's wrong?"
(Damn, what's wrong?)
(Shanté)
My rhymes are def, I put them at the top
And you got mad, cause it's you who got dropped, what!
Picture a sucker like you dropping me
So listen very close to what I say
Cause I go by the name of Fly (Shanté!)
(I'm Shanté!)
Suddenly...that I wish this girl belonged to me...
Fly Shanté!
(I'm Shanté!)
[Steady B]
Now me and this girl...
She treats me like a boy...
She treats me like I was a master of work...
My heart starts yearnin' for this thing that I call a young lady...
For gettin' involved with (Fly Shanté!)
(I'm Shanté!)
Fly Shanté!
(Shanté!)
Say hello to her, she wouldn't give me the time of day!
If you think I'm with Shanté, I'll say I gotcha
Cause the girl in a dream was named Natasha
(I'm Shanté!)
