Now, this is called the Wack It and I do it all the time
Put the wackest, wackest beats and add the wackest, wackest rhymes
Put the wackest, wackest beats and add the wackest, wackest rhymes
Wackest, wackest beats and add the wackest, wackest rhymes
Wacky, wacky, wacky (voice), which I really shouldn't say is wacky
Some people say it's wack, but it's not, it's just cracky
This is how I do it, some people just can't hack it
If it's cold outside then go on and put on a jacket
But now, I'm here to tell you, and we know this for a fact
This record's just like crack, you know what it is? It's wack
Wack it

(I mean we goin' out the whole nine yards)
(Uh, whole nine)

N-now I'm sittin' in my room tryna guess just what to do (yup)
So I decided to get wacky, 'cause you know, yo, that's true (yup)
So we turned on to a track that had to be super wack
And, yo, guess what we came up? Somethin' like that (yup)
I was really thinkin' about some things that make me mad
How could you get a gold record when you sound like J.J. Fad?
I mean come on, let's be for real, I mean I didn't wanna say it
But their shit was so wack, yo, this one I know you'll play it
It's a wack it
A wacky record (I mean, how it wack could it be?)
Now my name is Shanté (yeah), not Wanda Wawa (no, no)
And I'm here to make a wack it and some people say I'm a star (yeah, uh-huh)
I say, yeah, I do agree, but you have to think real close (yeah, what?)
I mean, when it comes to bein' wacky, J.J. Fad, yeah, they're the most (word)
It's a wack it

Now just jump up and down, spin your head from left to right (don't break it)
Then just move a little bit, get real close, but not too tight (too tight)
Let me see you throw your hands up in the air like you don't care (don't care)
And that's called the wackiest dance, and we'll call it "The Underwear"
It's a wack it

Now if you want a example, let me tell you what makes me mad
Did you ever hear Supersonic that was by J.J. Fad?
Listen close to what I'm sayin' 'cause it went somethin' like this
Or you can say I missed, I really can't resist
To come to someone, up to their face and then give them a diss
I do it all the time, every time I say a rhyme
People jump, yeah, all on mines, 'cause you know they're out of line
I tell them to step right back 'cause you know the record's wack (wack, wack)
If you do not like the record, yo, I got it like that
I can make rhymes up just like this (uh-huh)
Make the people not wanna resist (ay)
They listen to the beat and start to dance (yup)
And then they start to jump up in their pants (yup, yup, yup, yup)
Now, I told you how to do the dance
Get on the floor and take a chance
Now this is known as a matter of fact
Yo, stop the track, let's get wack
Wack, wack, wack, wack
Yo, yo, wait a minute, wait a minute, my ears
What you doin'? Wait, stop playin'
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, my God

Uh-huh
Wack, wack
Uh-huh

Now sittin' in my room (in my room)
Tryin' to guess just what to do (what to do)
So I decided to get wacky (wack, wack)
'Cause you know, yo, that's true (true, true)
So we turned on to a track (to a track)
That had to be super wack (wack)
And yo, guess what we came up? Somethin' like that

Wack it, wack it
Wack it, wack it
Wack it, wack it
Wack it, wack it

Now get off of my tip
Now who would believe?
See this, this here happens to be a fad or a phase or a style
That the party people happen to be going through
And I'm in this to win this, and I'm here to get paid
So I figured I might as well get wack too
I mean come on, they might even tell me that the record is dyn-o-mite
Now wasn't that cute?
But anyway
Betcha I'll get some respect after this one, uh
