1.Beauty And The Beat
Oooh, baby, i like the sound when
The switch is on, and you start poundin'
Out my radio and pretty soon
Salt and pepa will boom into the room
Clap your hands now people, clap hard
Clap your hands now people, clap your hands
Clap your hands now people, stomp your feet
Clap your hands now people, clap with me
Listen hard and tell me what you hear
Is it noise or is it def beats in your ear？
You said you want one, and now you got some
Vicious snare, high hats, and a bass drum
First the mix empress to impress you
Cutting right on time and i'll bet you
Didn't know it (did you？), you can't believe it (could you？)
Word to life, i swear, we wouldn't kid you
And she can cut it up like a wild animal
Slicing and dicing away as a cannibal does
Cuz only a beauty can make you people clap with me
Who is the best？
We are the best!
Who's one of the best？
You're one of the best!
Why am i so def？ why don't i have flaws？
Why do i cut for salt and pepa？ because
When my turntable talks your body will listen
To a message ？？？ tested and kickin'
Out of my speakers and into your sneakers
Providing conversation for the woofers and tweeters
When i play the technics obey
Cuz i'm a fader translator, a mixboard slave
And i'm-a do like this on 'em...this on 'em
When i'm on the floor, beat is like romance
The rhythm makes love to me as i dance
And from what i see it's about to be
A relationship between beauty and the beat
Word up y'all, it's a royal ball
Turn hip-hop clubs into concert halls
Inside is live, if i use up highs
Twelve hundred ？？？？
Power in high drive, the woofers don't lie
Opposites attract so the birthrate's high
Your chest and ribcage the bass is poking at
(lower the what？) stop joking...
We can't do that it possess power
You ask how-a people get louder
[uh, step aside, sir....
Sir, will you please step aside for the....]
Salt and pepa mc's represent beauty
We want y'all to see why we're the only
Nominee nominated representing our race
This jam is dedicated to all the pretty faces
And we're gonna rock like you like
Spinderella on the mix, salt and pepa on the mike
And we can satisfy your desire
We can make your body perspire
Make the men all want to get with it
Then take 'em down to the ultimate
Sounds and i say： spinderella's not a fella
But a girl dj!
2.Chick On The Side(Remix)
Don't touch me! get away from me!
Homeboy, you better stop it, keep up you're gonna get it
Your mouth is gettin' sassy, don't make me have to hit it
Cuz when i heard about you my teeth just gritted
You told me that you didn't, but i knew you were with it
Chorus
Bet you got a chick on the side
Sure you got a chick
I know you got a chick on the side
(love bandit, love bandit)
(repeat)
Don't worry, boy, cuz i won't complain, no need to explain
I seen everything through the window pane
You and your other lover, that's really insane
And another thing： please take off my gold ring
I got another finger i can put it on
You blew the deal so now i'm all gone
I was prepared for just in case you messed around
On the side you could be replaced
But you could have found a better way of lettin' me down
Instead of running around with every girl in town
I heard you on the phone the other day
Don't you say it's an old friend all the way from l.a.
I finally caught onto your little game
Your lying and denying is a cryin' shame
You took me for granted, this is the end, dammit
You're playing the field like you're some (love bandit)
Chorus
Oooo my, oooo my so-called fiancee listen to what i say
Whatever game you play i play the same way
So if you wanna go mess around and cheat
And you wanna romance between another girl's sheets
Go ahead sweetheart, i expected that
Cuz you're nothing but a cheap, little, stuck-up brat
Wherever you're at you want this and that
You dirty rat, i'm not a welcome mat
I got another lover, and i know he cares
So smile child, but keep your crocodile tears
Go ahead, go, go boy! i'm going steady
In loving arms this teddy is ready
He fixed the table for his and hers
And while the dinner simmers he served the hors'doevres
Then munch-out time, hit the wine, get mellow
Cleared off the table and his hello-jello
I can't express the feeling that i get
So i just lay back and light up a cigarette
And try to be cool, collected, and calm
He tells me my fortune and reads my palm
With a suave taste i cannot embrace
In a feeling of desire by the fireplace
Love bandit, i'm makin' it clear
See ya later, gator, i'm gettin' outta here, yeah
Chorus
You're at the window starin' at the sky
Birds fly by, you start to wonder why
You're not by my side sharing the dream
That one day you'll be my king, and i'll be your queen
I call you every day, ask to get into your home
I tell you i'm alone, but you hang up the phone
You're like a hot flame getting ready to burn
You say you're concerned, baby, you don't earn
3.I'll Take Your Man
Salt and pepa's back, and we came to out rap you
So get out my face before i smack you
Ho, don't you know？ can't you understand？
If you mess with me i'll take you man
Well i'll take your man right out the box
And put him under my padlocks
So when you see us together chillin' in the place
Cold walkin' and sportin' him in your face
Go ahead roll your eyes, suck your teeth
Keep huffin' and puffin' like a dog in heat
You can call me a crook, a robber, a thief
But i'll be your butcher if you got beef
You know what's up - i ain't no poo-putt
Cuz pepa kick butts off dumb, young bucks like you
And the rest of your crew
If moms want static i'll dis her, too
So scram you know who i am
Damn, chick, don't play me, punk cuz i'll take your man
I'll take your man whenever i feel like it
This ain't a threat or a bet, it's a damn promise
From me to you, your sex life's through
If you get another lover, i'll take him, too
All i have to do is say a rhyme or two
And he'll hop and leave you like a kangaroo
I'll make him heel for me even steal for me
His mother and father he'd kill for me
That's what you get for trying to play smart
Now take a hike with that slayed-up heart
Girl, you don't know if you're comin' or goin'
Look at your face - your jealousy's growin' and showin'
Don't get mad - you don't have the right
I throw below solo but ladylike on the mic
Psyche is where i win my battles
I'll handle you like a baby with a rattle
Don't make me prove to you that i can
Either give him up or get slammed - i'll take your man
I'll take your man, that's right but just for spite
Because you tried to dis me when i was on the mic
But i really don't want him, the guy ain't fly, shoot
He can't afford to buy a fila suit
Runs the same old gear, never has fresh wear
What he whispered in my ear i can't repeat here
I don't wanna seem to be so damn mean
But you're the hippiest critter i ever seen
Before i got on the stage you wished me good luck
Turned around and told your friends i suck
Well look at you now - you ain't got nobody
Searching for love in a fifth of bicardi
You look bad, girl, you look like you're dying
Ain't no use in crying - i'll take your man
Yo, cher, school this fool!
I'll take your man, your fiancee, your husband
You ain't alice, this ain't wonderland
And when i say i will you know i can
Don't mess with me cuz i'll take your man
I'll take your man anytime, at the drop of a dime
Cuz he's rappin' and strappin' so hard on mine
Everywhere i turn, everywhere i look
The brother's eyein' me down, he's staring down my throat
But he's a ducker sucker, soft-hearted punk
Goin' skiing for skeezers, stunts for blunt
So that's why y'all have so many things in common
Him for just robbin', you for lap slobbin'
I never ever went out my way to get played
Keeping guys like yours held down at bay
You know i can, i got the upper-hand
Tramp, you don't stand a chance cuz i'll take your man
Most girls have guys that's good to go
But yours is slow - he's a freakin' a-hole
The fact still stands, there's no change in plans
'yo, pepa, your wish is my command!'
Now you know, you know i'll take your...man
Check him out, you see what i mean？
He's leading the pack as the fellas scream
'go, sandy! get busy! go, sandy! get busy!'
It's so easy to make 'em fall for me, heather
No man can resist salt and pepa
Because we're perfect from head to toe
It's not speculation - your man says so
Revenge is sweet but payback's a trip
Girlfriend, you won't know which is which
But i'll tell you this： don't try to answer this jam
Because if you do then i'll take your...
And i'll take your...
And we'll take your man
4.It's All Right
Hey-a, forward the music selector
We get tougher, aye (？？？？)
Salt and pepa draw the people into hysterics
With the serious lyrics, right？
It's all right
We gonna take it to the top
We're gonna make your body rock
And we got, we got, we got, gotta make it hot
So come, get on, hop on the dance floor
If you want to declare war - it's all right
It's all right
Now it's ruckus time in the place tonight
Salt and pepa has just comandeered the mic
Hurby the producer ain't no joke
He always makes sure the beats are dope
When i explore i take you down to the core
Wanted by the fbi as a wicked outlaw
For torturing and murdering mcs
Who try to recreate def rhymes like these
On stage i'm a terror, mascarra don't smear-a (？)
Stockings don't run, and men don't dare-a
Speak out and disrespect salt and pepa
We smash mcs with one big stepper
Here to rule, mcs i school
The mic's my tool, i'm no one's fool
That's right, i said it, the girl's got brains
And my full name is cheryl james - all right
It's all right
It came straight from the mouth rhymes i disperse
I save sucker duck rappers to quench my thirst
I sucker all suckers by selling a dream
When i serve and strengthen any rap team
We'll ignite and your crew just melt like wax
So tell your family and your friends
That we're here to attack
We prepare to win a battle at any cost
Just remember duck rapper, it's not my loss - it's all right
It's all right
And when i rhyme a funky rhyme
Till my throat is sore
When i rhyme till you just can't take no more
You disagree？ kill the noise
Cuz you know i can
Just place the microphone inside my hand
And watch me rhyme-a funky lyrics
You gotta admit, you disagree？
Ask your man - even he's on it
Cuz when i wanna show damage, i'll explode
At a wink of an eye rhymes i'll reload - it's all right
It's all right
Now when we came, we saw, we conquered
Because you tried to be bold, you tried to be bad
You tried to get ill, you tried to fake mad
Whip out my microphone and turtle wax that ass
So don't mess around, don't make me laugh
You gotta be jokin', you will get broken
I'll burn you and leave your ashes smokin'
Then i'll put you in my hand, blow you into the wind
So you better notify your next of kin - all right
It's all right
Rip it again, right
It's all right
Rewind selector right
5.I Desire
We're on a mission
Dissin' all of the opposition
Mcs, it's my butt you're kissin'
Because i desire
Yo, wait a minute, chill, i want ya all to hear
Why rap is not a joke, for us it's a career
Others try to imitate but none has come near
So you see why everybody stands up and cheer
And if you really think about it you know what it means
To be a female rapper from the heart of queens
And see others dream about being supreme
But once on the scene we start killing kings
People claim we're too wild to tame
On stage we behave like sizzlin' flame
And oh, so cool when we rap you need a sweater
The rhymes so tough you swear they're made of leather
Get the best of your bunch, and i bet that we're better
Tell 'em why, pepa, tell 'em why - cuz i desire
Djs come and go just like the wind
But mine is better than all of them
She's sharper than a razor when it comes to a cut
More lethal than a laser if you wanna play rough
Not the object of a show, subject to cut ？？？？
？？？？？ tell you spinderella's dope
Call her spin for short but she don't take ？？？？
Wanna duel？ you're a fool ？？？？
Choppin' beats for these until the turntables bleed
Scratches so damn hard you'd swear the mixer had fleas
She's the mutilator, music carnivore
Spinderella rocks the records with a chainsaw
You're still amazed by the way she plays
Not a fad but a phase of the hip-hop craze which i desire
Salt from the pepa and my name is cher
From queens, new york not delaware
I like my steak well-done cuz i hate it rare
And i'm lovable and huggable like yogi the bear
Pepa from the salt so do not rip
Cuz if you do i'll shift from first to fifth
Lights out, it's heard, i thought you were dead
Short, fading went i went upside your head
So get back to the beat cuz the beat is bad
The beat pro and the bass gets much impact
The beats rock and just because the beat kicks bass
We're gonna bounce this beat all over the place cuz i desire
While you're on the set let the cameras roll
Salt and pepa are the stars, the world's the video
Your room is boomin' when we're on your stereo
So hold on tight, don't dare let go
We're the teachers, you're the students - class is in session
Pay attention boys and girls, and learn your lesson
We're running things, yes, we're taking over
You be the grass, we'll be the lawnmower
Never fakin' or takin', not givin' no slack
Not trying, succeeding cuz it's like that
Hot damn, how could you be so doggone dumb？
Trying to dis salt and pepa when we're number one？
But we excuse you cuz you're dippy, your mind's in a daze
Like every duck you're confused in so many ways
Giving nothing, taking all whether big or small
We got a ？？？？ beat and it's dope, def y'all
Every day of the week you're at my beck and call
You wanna try me out？ you don't have the gall cuz i desire
6.My Mic Sounds Nice
Are you ready？
Yo, hurb, take it from the top
One, two...
My mic sound nice, check one
My mic sound nice, check two
My mic sound nice, check three
Are you ready to rock-rock y'all
To the beat y'all？
A-keep on and you don't stop
Rockin' on, keep rockin' on
I'm the queen on the mic, and it's true when i say
That the pepa mc is here to stay
And you know if i was a book i would sell
Cuz every curve on my body got a story to tell
Yeah, word 'em up, w-word 'em up
Cuz i'm so fly, nobody can deny
The girl hasn't been born that can deal with i
Me, sandy d., undoubtably def
Don't need to be dressed, i'm fresh to the flesh
Yes, so tough you know it is a must
Now salt, get on the mic, and tell 'em why you go crush
Cuz i'm oh-aye, i'm on, i'm on
I'm oh-aye, i'm so damn on
Like a grasshopper hoppin' on the morning lawn
Like a needle on a record when it plays a song
Like little boy blue blowin' on his horn
And you know i got to be on
Mcs rockin' and shockin', but it won't last
Salt's on the mic, and i'm kickin'
Ask me no questions, i'll tell no lies
It's just a little warning, a word to the wise
You been hopin' and scopin', layin' and prayin'
But on the bottom is where you're staying
You're wack, i thought you understood
You're not related to me so you could never be good
I know you come from babylon (and you know why？)
Cuz you're a babble-on mc (that's right)
You babble on the microphone about what you wish
But could never be
So please don't tell me how you're gonna rock
Don't brag about the things that you ain't got
Don't feed me lies cuz now i'm full
My cow just died, i don't need your bull
Yo, yo, turn my mic up a little bit
One, two, one, two - all right, thanks
My mic sound nice, check one
My mic sound nice, check two
My mic sound nice, check three
Right about now as you can see in the place to be
We're not talking about geometry, history or biology
So sandy d., explain this to me...
Why do they call you the pepa mc？
You mean you don't know？ that's a shame
Ok salt, let me explain
I'm hot like a fire, burned down, diminished
Oh, now i see! chill, let me finish
I wanna make one and all understand
I don't play, i slay when the mic's in my hand
The room temperature reaches a hundred and four
You can scramble eggs on the floor
The pressure soars, the crowd, they roar
Sweat will drip down to your drawers
The pepa mc is like hot ice
And i paid the price to make the mic sound nice
Forget about the rest, yes, i don't jest
You're blessed with one of america's best
So i think y'all better count your blessings
When salt's in the house, hell's in session
It's a fact that i will wax
Mcs out there are gonna get taxed
Rockin' to my funky beat
I'm a trip so i know you're gonna fall for me
Cuz this is the year all men fear
Female mcs is movin' up here
Salt and pepa is strictly biz
You know the color of this, you know what time it is
'super' is the strength of the boomin' bass
'nature' describes our pretty face
Turning out without a doubt
Make no mistake, queens is in the house
Yeah, check it out, ch-check it out
7.Push It
Ah, push it
Ah, push it
Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Oooh, baby, baby
Baby, baby
Get up on this!
Ow! baby!
Salt and pepa's here!

This dance ain't for everybody
Only the sexy people
So all you fly mothers, get on out there and dance
Dance, i said!]
Salt and pepa's here, and we're in effect
Want you to push it, babe
Coolin' by day then at night working up a sweat
C'mon girls, let's go show the guys that we know
How to become number one in a hot party show

P-push it real good
Ah, push it

8.The Showstopper
[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
9.Tramp
Verse 1
Homegirls, attention you must pay
So listen close to what i say
Don't take this as a simple rhyme
Cos this type of thing happens all of the time
Now, what would you do if a stranger said 'hi...'？
Would you diss him, or would you reply？
If you answer there is a chance
That you'll become a victim of circumstance
Am i right fellas？ tell the truth
Or else imma have to show and prove
You are what you are, i am what i am
It just so happens that most men are tramps
Verse 2
Have you ever seen a dude who's stupid and rude
Whenever he's around he dogs your mood
I know a guy like that, girl
He thinks he's god's gift to the world
You know that kind, excited all the time
With nothin' but sex on the mind
I'm no stunt, on me you can't front
I know the real deal, i know what they want
It's me (why？) because i'm so sexy
It's me (what？) don't touch my body (boy)
Cos ya see, i ain't no skeezer
But on a real tip, i think he's a...tramp
Verse 3
On the first date he thought i was a dummy
He had the nerve to tell me he loved me
But of course i knew it was a lie, y'all
He undressed me with his eyeballs
Trying to change the whole subject
Cos everything he said pertained to sex
So i dissed him, i said you's a sucker
Get your dirty mind out the gutter
You ain't gettin' paid, you ain't knockin' boots
You ain't treatin' me like no prostitute
Then i walked away, he called me a teaser
You're on a mission, kid, yo he's a...tramp
