"The Real Lee Jordan"
by Carmine

May I have your attention please?
May I have your attention please?
Will the real Lee Jordan please stand up?
I repeat, will the real Lee Jordan please stand up?
We're gonna have a problem here...

Y'all act like you've never seen Acme turned bad before
Jaws all over the floor like Acme agents swarm through the door
And start arresting people in sight
They started out with Carmen, then moved on with the next two
It's the return of the...
"Oh wait, no way, you're kidding
You just didn't get hired by Acme, did you?"
And the Chief said...
Nothing you idiots! The Chief's been unplugged
He's shut off from his computer at Acme!
All my fans love Lee J.
"(Ivy)Lee Jordan, I'm sick of him,
Look at him, walking around, ripping us off
Ticking off Carmen Sandiego, thinks he's so cute."
Yeah, I probably got a couple of screws up in my head loose
But no worse is what's going on behind Acme's closed doors
Sometimes, I wanna get on TV and just let loose, but can't
But it's cool for Maelstrom to break out of Folsom
I ripped off Carmen's words of advice
And if I'm lucky, you might as well deal with it
And that's the message I deliver to little kids
And expect them not to know where I got my training
Of course they're gonna know where I got it
By the time they hit fourth grade
Their parents' got the CNN Channel don't they?
We ain't nothing but thieves at heart
Well, some of us more destructive
Who blow up airports and leave X-marks-the-spot clues
But if Carmen and Hannah can escape from jail
Then there's no reason why I can't fail
But if you feel like I've got the antidote
Throw away your Acme badges, sing the chorus and here it goes!

I'm Lee Jordan, yes I'm the real Lee
All you other Lee Jordans are just imitating
So won't the real Lee Jordan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up
'Cause I'm Lee Jordan, yes I'm the real Lee
All you other Lee Jordans are just imitating
So won't the real Lee Jordan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up

Carmen doesn't need force in her raps to steal things
Well I do, so call me extra insane or whatever you say
You think I give a thought about Acme?
Half of you agents can't even stomach me, let alone stand me
"But Lee, what if you came back? Wouldn't that be weird?"
Why? So you guys could just lie to get me back
And arrest me next to Maelstrom and Sara Bellum
Shoot, Carmen Sandiego better switch me chairs
So I can sit next to Acme detectives Zack and Ivy
And hear them argue who got Carmen S. first
Little twits sent me to the slammer
"This guy's incredibly amazing!" So?
I should download Acme's computer system
And infect it with a virus
I'm sick of you Acme agents
All you do is take Carmen's side
So I have been sent here to wipe all of you guys out
And there's a million of us just like me
Who think like me; who just don't give a thought like me
Who dress like me; walk, talk and act like me
And it might be the next best thing but not quite me!

I'm Lee Jordan, yes I'm the real Lee
All you other Lee Jordans are just imitating
So won't the real Lee Jordan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up
'Cause I'm Lee Jordan, yes I'm the real Lee
All you other Lee Jordans are just imitating
So won't the real Lee Jordan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up

I'm like a head trip to listen 'cause I'm only giving you
Things you joke about with your friends inside your living room
The only difference is I've got the nerves to steal
In front of y'all and I don't have to steal for the challenge of it
I just get on national TV and spit and whether you like to admit it
I just spat out better than 90 percent of all you thieves out there
Then you wonder how could Acme go so wrong despite high IQs
It's funny 'cause at the rate I'm going when I'm fifty
I'll be the only one who steal for the money of it
Beating Carmen off at her own league when I'm making off or stealin'
Said I'm STEALIN' but all these trips to court isn't working
And every single person is a Lee Jordan lurking
They could be working at Townhall Cafe spitting on your glazed donuts
Or in the parking lot, circling, screaming "I'm the best, Carmen sucks!"
With their windows down and their systems up
So will the real Lee Jordan please stand up?
And put one of those fingers on each hand up?
And be proud to be out of your mind and out of control
And one more time, loud as you can, how's it go?

I'm Lee Jordan, yes I'm the real Lee
All you other Lee Jordans are just imitating
So won't the real Lee Jordan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up
'Cause I'm Lee Jordan, yes I'm the real Lee
All you other Lee Jordans are just imitating
So won't the real Lee Jordan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up

I'm Lee Jordan, yes I'm the real Lee
All you other Lee Jordans are just imitating
So won't the real Lee Jordan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up
'Cause I'm Lee Jordan, yes I'm the real Lee
All you other Lee Jordans are just imitating
So won't the real Lee Jordan please stand up
Please stand up, please stand up

Ha ha
Guess there's a Lee Jordan in all of us
Forget you, let's all stand up
