[Intro: Ricky Harris & Yo-Yo]
Yo-Yo, there's a lot of female rap out there
Ahh, the competition is fierce
What would you like to say to your competitors?
Well, personally, it’s like this
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody (Yeah)
Better (Than me)
Ain't nobody
Better
[Verse 1]
I am the Yo-Yo, givin’ you what you've been missin'
Doin' it to the limit, while Jinx is bringin' in
Funky cuts, it's not the word 'cause it deducts the flavor
And never shown as a minor simply made to hit major
Now I can make it funky, but the beat can make it funkier
And if you think you're doper than me, you gotta prove to be
Hyper than the hypest performance hittin’ the street
’Cause people ganksin' just to boom with my beat
I used to rock with Boobie, but Boobie wasn’t with it
So I gained my composure, and stuck with it
But now I'm not a freshman at this game, or sophomore
I'm more like a senior, headin' out the big doors
This is how it’s done, and I'm doin' it
Kick in the breaks, 'cause I'm through with it
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody (Yeah)
Better (Than me)
Ain't nobody
Better
[Post-Chorus]
We got some non-believers out there
Let's mix 'em up, like this
[Verse 2]
You didn't think I was large and raw as a thirty-six double-d
Bra, baby doll, thinkin' maybe I was down
With the gift and the gab and the vocab that I have
Sendin' suckas back to the lab, I nab
The beats to make me a little itty-bitty rich
Punks say, "Damn, that's a witty bitch"
But I'm intelligent, I know it, I show it
I get to the center, re-enter, so you cannot tow it
So here I am, freestyle, goin' solo
Rockin' the crowd as they scream, "Go Yo-Yo!"
How can I solve this problem of the hour?
Many people of today believe that I'm a party solver
Yeah, I can get 'em hype, with the lyrics I write
Makin' sure that the fakers don't bite
But in the meantime, I'd like to do my thing
Kickin' the flavor to the way the beat swings
Come on, give it all you got while you got it made
I'm like a joker so you knew I'm never played
This is how it's done, and I'm doin' it
Kick in the breaks, 'cause I'm through with it
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody (Yeah)
Better (Than me)
Ain't nobody
Better
[Post-Chorus]
Let me do the second part next time
Sure, try
[Bridge]
All the ladies say, "Yeah"
And fellas, if you're with me say, "Yeah"
Just sway back and forth and say, "Yeah"
And if you're down with me makin' the D-O-E, say, "Yeah"
Man, I am ready! Are y'all ready to get down? (Yeah, Lord!)
Boy, I cannot wait to blow my horn in here tonight!
[Verse 3]
Straight up in your face it's Yo-Yo
Guaranteed to put a sucka's attitude in slo-mo
Any form of retali's a no-go, so
Yo-Yo can kick a tempo, simple
Squeeze MCs as if I was Mr. Whipple
Trailblazin', plus the funk forever stays in
To satisfy an appetite or hunger or craving
For me, the Yo, intelligent black lady
Thinkin' you could play me, straight up, you cannot fade me
There's no way, of gettin' around the savvy
I slay more snakes like I was Rikki-Tikki-Tavi
Hey ladies (You know what I want)
Wick-wick-wack (Come on, keep on doin' it)
Open your eyes up and wise up, and put the disguise up
'Cause I can see through it and size up the situation
So the phrase is confusing to the brain cell
You ask, "How can she maintain well?"
[Chorus]
Ain't nobody (Yeah)
Better (Than me)
Ain't nobody
Better
[Outro]
Yeah, than me
I thought you knew
Lench Mob in the house
We'll do a little somethin' like this
Let's go and get it
Alright
Alright, y'all, we gonna wrap this up
We out
