I once spent an entire evening worrying about this hyphen and am glad that someone has delegated this important research to ILX

I hope that she is saying "(I'm) no style rookie, so don't mess with me" rather "(you) no-style rookie, don't mess with me", but the latter seems more in keeping with the rest of the lyrics

not sure why I hope this except that I am definitely a no-style rookie and I still like to think maybe, just maybe I could hang in a buffalo stance, why because it sound intersting

Need a new poll with "no style-rookie" removed from the options, to find out TEH TRUTH

I’m all about the "(I'm) no style rookie, you better watch, don't mess with me"option
