Give it to me baby
And all the girlies says
I'm a pretty fly for a
white guy
Un dos tres, cuatro cinqo
cinqo seis
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
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
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
The world loves wannabe's
So let's get some more
wannabe's
And do that brand new
thing
