(chorus)
It ain`t over `til the fat lady sings
It ain`t over `til the fat lady sings
Here`s a flow
An En Vogue hip-hop intro
Time to rap talk about the info
Pertaining to the four
Who re-opened the harmony door
(And let the vocals soar)
(Shoo wop shoo wop)
All of the gossipin` it put us in a recite mode
Unloadin` while the grooves explodin`
Just steppin` and keepin` pepin`
A vocal lethal-weapon
In this song will be givin` ev-ology lessons
About our history and our passin`
How long (steady, strong)
Will the En Vogue be lastin`?
Askin` or predictin`
The quad squad will roll
(And continue to kick it wicked)
Wicked doubts about the en-v
It`s envy if you ask me
Trying to down Dawn, Maxine, Terry or Cindy
Black, beautiful, intelligent
Well structured and strong
It`s gonna be along for ever hold on
repeat chorus
(It ain`t over)
So, continuing my flow
Goin` back about two years ago
Lip-synching was the way to go, though
a face to a voice, a voice to a face
All the real talent was just going to waste
The word was out
A talent-search was on
Auditioned with ambition
A vision
En Vogue was born
To sing, the essential ingredients mended
Four individuals perfectly blended
Strong mind, positive, attitude is a must
Group trust
Eliminated the outside rush
Using lies as alibis to get to us it`s strange
Negative attenion you gain in the world while you entertain
Stuck up - of course not
Just the knives in our back
Those coming from behind on a publicity attack
Not easy duplicating the four
There`s a lot more in store
Until the fat lady roars
repeat chorus
People wonder if we`re rich
I`ll tell you this
More money now than before the music hit
And our hair, of course it`s real
We just jazz it up a bit for the sex appeal
And no we don`t lip-synch
It`s all from the heart
2 Tuff-Enuff Productions put us on the charts
A few answers I thought I should give
For the minds who enquire how the En Vogue lives
Born to sing, and we proved it
A gift from the man above
Peace to our fans, and to competitors
One love
Sorry, not in it for the competition status-quo
Our only perspective is to grow
And to blow, ya know
In house, in reggae, in rock, En Vogue
Stylin` profilin` sippin` coke with a smile
2 Tuff funk it, pump it, hip-hop jump it
Now En Vogue`s comin` versatile
(Shoo wop shoo wop)
repeat chorus
(It ain`t over)
(Got a long way to go)
repeat chorus until fade-out
