Lyrics:
Brother what is with you, you can't take a hint?
I need to shove a sprint between your eyes for you to see
You and me were never meant to be
Your homeboy likes me, I like him, too, get out the picture
I get your point but I'm not rolling with the punch
I scrunched up the letter you wrote me in lunch
In 5th period I pay no notice to your motion
My work is on the table, my pen's in locomotion
Every time I turn around, you're looking at my face
I try to ignore you, the bell rings, I race out the room
Zoom to another room, sit down, what do you know?
The lover's in town
The other brother (Who?) The one I want to talk to
Sitting three seats back, and I'm a walk over to him
And give him the letter I wrote
Because my feelings towards him are brewing, ya know?
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle
In 7th the knucklehead walks in and sits down beside me
I said "Yo why you trying to ride me?"
Day in and day out I can't seem to get you off my back
What do you think I should do about that?
In fact it's embarrassing, what a bufoon
You even follow me in the ladies bathroom
Give me a break, I can't take it, the stakes are too high
Besides, there goes the other brother
I'm not Keith Sweat, so don't sweat me
The other brother's smooth approach is what gets me
He intruiges the Mon you know
So I suggest the course towards me you blow
You're wasting time pursuing Monie
Cause she's pursuing the lover only
And as my mother did she told me
Go for what you know, Mo, yo
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle
Bringing matters to a close and everybody knows
That I'm no longer in the middle
I made my decision, precisely, precision is a must
For me to solve another riddle
Step into a brand new rhythm, ism schisms
Nope, I'm not with 'em, I've given
My undivided attention, you know what I'm saying?
No type of games I'm playing when
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
Yep, Monie's in the middle (Where that at?) In the middle
Monie in the middle (Where she at?) In the middle
(Go Mon, Mon, what is she?) Monie in the middle
Monie in the Monie in the Monie in the Middle
Monie in the Monie in the Monie in the Middle
Monie in the Monie in the Monie in the Middle
The middle, the middle, the the the middle
Monie in the Monie in the Monie in the Middle
Monie in the Monie in the Monie in the Middle
Monie in the Monie in the Monie in the Middle
The middle, the middle, the the the middle

Nobody was flowing like Monie back then. Before her I don't remember anyone spit their lyrics so fast and staccato. People of Jamaican descent just seem to ride a beat different from other rappers.

I took notice of this with women rappers. Rappers like Lil Kim,Foxy Brown and Lauryn Hill blew up around the sametime in the late 90's. Since that time we've seen more versions of Lil Kim and Foxy Brown and fewer versions of Lauryn Hill. Maybe it's because it's easier to find women rappers like Lil Kim? I mean,any woman can do what Lil Kim did. Lauryn Hill's thing was more creative/complex. So it may be harder to consistently find Lauryn Hill types that can also sell. This may account for why we hear so much of the samething when it comes to the current women rappers.
This is the ONLY rap song I can do start to finish. I’m 65 BTW 😂
This remains one of the best HipHop House cuts of all time...
This still my shhhh..... Still listening in 2021🔥🔥🔥
Really miss when jazz played a big part in hip hop
When rap was great and talented.
Mone' love never dies out
Monie’s style and flow is so incredible! Its nice to see real hip hop how I remember it! AND when artists still made music videos! 🔥🔥🔥
Old skool early hip hop at it's best

Monie Love performed this song on In Living Color during its second season in 1990. This takes me back when I lived in Maryland during that time ('90-'91) when this song came out. At the 33rd Grammy Awards in 1991, "Monie in the Middle" was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance, but lost to MC Hammer's "U Can't Touch This." The following year, in 1992 at the 34th Grammy Awards, she was nominated for Best Rap Solo Performance again for "It's a Shame (My Sister)" but lost to LL Cool J's "Mama Said Knock You Out."
NO DOUBT!! HER AND QUEEN LATIFAH ROCKED THE MIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now I'm in my 50's. It's very rare that we love artists like this. I'm Blessed to Still hear her on Atl station 104.1. My Sweetheart 💋😘. I'm sure that I'm older but she's still my inspiration ❤❤❤. She even kept Queen Latifah together but if course she never gotten credited for it. When you get so Famous and Big, you tend to leave certain people behind. But what goes around comes around 😢😮😂

That's a wicked dance step at the end. let the twerk rappers try that. she always stood out.. from the "ladies first" video to "buddy"
