You know it's kind of hard 
Just to get along today 
Our subject isn't 
cool 
But he fakes it anyway 
He may not have a clue 
And he may not 
have style 
But everything he lacks 
Well he makes up in denial 

* 
So don't debate, a player straight 
You know he really doesn't get it anyway 

He's gonna play the field, and keep it real 
For you no way, for you no 
way 
So if you don't rate, just overcompensate 
At least you'll know you 
can always go on Ricki Lake 
The world needs wannabe's 
So do that brand 
new thing 

He needs some cool tunes 
Not just any will suffice 
But 
they didn't have Ice Cube 
So he bought Vanilla Ice 
Now cruising in his 
Pinto, he sees homies as he pass 
But if he looks twice 
They're gonna 
kick his lily ass 

[Repeat *]

Now he's getting a tattoo 
He's 
gettin' ink done 
He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31' 
Friends say 
he's trying too hard 
And he's not quite hip 
But in his own mind 
He's 
the dopest trip 

[Repeat *]
