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  Give it to me baby Give it to me baby Give it to me baby And all the girls say I'm pretty fly (for a white guy)  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
