   I'm back and I'm ringin' the bell
   A rockin' on the mike while the fly girls yell
   In ecstasy in the back of me
   Well that's my DJ Deshay cuttin' all them Z's
   Hittin' hard and the girlies goin' crazy
   Vanilla's on the mike, man I'm not lazy.
  
   I'm lettin' my drug kick in
   It controls my mouth and I begin
   To just let it flow, let my concepts go
   My posse's to the side yellin', Go Vanilla Go!
  
   Smooth 'cause that's the way I will be
   And if you don't give a damn, then
   Why you starin' at me
   So get off 'cause I control the stage
   There's no dissin' allowed
   I'm in my own phase
   The girlies sa y they love me and that is ok
   And I can dance better than any kid n' play

   Stage 2 -- Yea the one ya' wanna listen to
   It's off my head so let the beat play through
   So I can funk it up and make it sound good
   1-2-3 Yo -- Knock on some wood
   For good luck, I like my rhymes atrocious
   Supercalafragilisticexpialidocious
   I'm an effect and that you can bet
   I can take a fly girl and make her wet.
  
   I'm like Samson -- Samson to Delilah
   There's no denyin', You can try to hang
   But you'll keep tryin' to get my style
   Over and over, practice makes perfect
   But not if you're a loafer.
  
   You'll get nowhere, no place, no time, no girls
   Soon -- Oh my God, homebody, you probably eat
   Spaghetti with a spoon! Come on and say it!

   Intoxicating so you stagger like a wino
   So punks stop trying and girl stop cryin'
   Vanilla Ice is sellin' and you people are buyin'
   'Cause why the freaks are jockin' like Crazy Glue
   Movin' and groovin' trying to sing along
   All through the ghetto groovin' this here song
   Now you're amazed by the VIP posse.
  
   Steppin' so hard like a German Nazi
   Startled by the bases hittin' ground
   There's no trippin' on mine, I'm just gettin' down
   Sparkamatic, I'm hangin' tight like a fanatic
   You trapped me once and I thought that
   You might have it
   So step down and lend me your ear
   '89 in my time! You, '90 is my year.

   You're pitchin' a fit, so step back and endure
   Let the witch doctor, Ice, do the dance to cure
