Chorus x2:
Who you gonna call when it′s time to brawl
standin′ ′round waitin′ for my queendom to fall
Well I think not styles are pipin′ hot
Blazin′ amazin′ I give it all I got

I′m tellin′ you straight up all sleepin′ beauties better wake up
I′ll tear your state up so set the date up
And I′m a rip it what if it what was it
Who did it who does it
From private to public
Anywhere I′m in there and been there
So recognize this, who the nicest
Sit down and settle for your constellation prizes
Whatever you want I got
Whether you ready or not
It′s about to get hot when I drop
So notes, pause another spot
To do you, don′t get me in a corner make me do you
Don′t try to be me, do you
Be coo′ to you and do you
I′m on a higher level with different class, another plane
I am the Queen, that′s my name, time to explain
that I spit game with dames
Leave ′em all with shit stains
Split frames, hopin′ you hopin′ that I′m jokin′
Don′t know but still blink off like fo′-fo′s
but so-so, slow mo′s comin′ in like the po-po′s
Don′t want rocks comin′ at me the wrong way
Packin′ much rocks, it′s gonna be a long day
And for real, spittin′ on imbessiles and spinnin′ wheels
on my 600 you want it, you must be blunted
I′ll take it to your stomach, run it, give me all
mic for mic, steppin′ to me you gonna fall, we brawl
Throwin′ a two-piece so loose leafs
It′s the Q-U-double-E-N
You know how I′m MCin′

Chorus x2

See physically you not ready
Lyrically you not ready
Mentally maybe
Who talks tough, time to get the baby
No threats or small bets on my bond we can get it on
From dusk ′til dawn from night ′til mourn
Some bubble hard squads are gone, no gimmicks, no tricks
′til one of us admits it′s a battle a whisk
So look I′m off the hook, while you off the rocker
Thinkin′ I′m shook, get the phone book, call the doctor
Are you out of your mind, doubtin′ mines, out of line
Talkin′ out your behind, shoutin′ rhymes out of time
It′s all over, what′s up, yeah, what, what now, you tough now
Now you hush, hush now, ain′t sayin′ too much now
Thought so, haunt yo′ sleepin′ ass, creepin′ fast
like you was doin′ somethin′, now I gotta ruin somethin′
You image, your career, lookie here you whole life is hangin′ in the air
like a chandilier, poppin′ off like a can of beer, understand is it clear
If not let me put it in your ear that I′m royalty
Even though I′m low-key, you know me
You be singin′ over my tracks like it′s kareoke
If you don′t know the half you gon′ feel the wrath
Represent the rugged path, the Flavor Unit staff
Droppin′ math′matics, layin′ you out like craftmatic
I′ll let you have it, so you don′t want the static

Chorus x2

Текст песни:

Uh, U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that′s a unity
U.N.I.T.Y., love a black man from infinity to infinity
(Who you calling a bitch?)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that′s a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black woman from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain′t a bitch or a ho)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that′s a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain′t a bitch or a ho)

Instinct leads me to another flow
Everytime I hear a brother call a girl a bitch or a ho
Trying to make a sister feel low
You know all of that gots to go
Now everybody knows there′s exceptions to this rule
Now don′t be getting mad, when we playing, it′s cool
But don′t you be calling out my name
I bring wrath to those who disrespect me like a dame
That′s why I′m talking, one day I was walking down the block
I had my cutoff shorts on right cause it was crazy hot
I walked past these dudes when they passed me
One of ′em felt my booty, he was nasty
I turned around red, somebody was catching the wrath
Then the little one said (Yeah me bitch) and laughed
Since he was with his boys he tried to break fly
Huh, I punched him dead in his eye and said "Who you calling a bitch?"

(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that′s a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black woman from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain′t a bitch or a ho)
(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that′s a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain′t a bitch or a ho)

I hit the bottom, ain′t nowhere else to go but up
Bad days at work, if you an attitude then you were rough
And take it out on me but that′s about enough
You put your hands on me again I′ll put your ass in handcuffs
I guess I fell so deep in love I grew dependency
I was too blind to see just how it was affecting me
All I knew was you, you was all the man I had
And I was scared to let you go, even though you treated me bad
But I don′t want my kids to see me getting beat down
By daddy smacking mommy all around
You say I′m nothing without ya, but I′m nothing with ya
A man don′t really love you if he hits ya
This is my notice to the door, I′m not taking it no more
I′m not your personal whore, that′s not what I′m here for
And nothing good gonna come to ya til you do right by me
Brother you ain′t ?sick? (Who you calling a bitch?)

(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that′s a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black woman from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain′t a bitch or a ho)
(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that′s a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain′t a bitch or a ho)

What′s going on in your mind is what I ask ya
But like Yo-Yo, you don′t hear me though
You wear a rag around your head and you
Call yourself a "Gangsta Bitch" now that you saw Apache′s video
I saw you wilding, acting like a fool
I peeped you out the window jumping girls after school
But where did all of this come from?
A minute ago, you was a nerd and nobody ever heard of ya
Now you a wannabe...hard
You barely know your ABC′s, please
There′s plenty of people out there with triggers ready to pull it
Why you trying to jump in front of the bullet (Young lady)
Uh, and real bad girls are the silent type
Ain′t none of this work getting your face sliced
Cause that′s what happened to your homegirl, right? Bucking with nobody
She got to wear that for life (Who you calling a bitch?)

(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that′s a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black woman from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain′t a bitch or a ho)
(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that′s a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You must let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain′t a bitch or a ho)

Текст песни:

Welcome into my Queendom (My Queendom) come one come all
When it comes to lyrics I bring them (I bring them)
In spring I sing in fall I call out to
All the ones who had a hard day
I prepared a place on my dance floor
The time is now for you to par tay
I thought it would be a good chance for you to move
(One nation under a groove) House music always soothes
So get with the flow let′s go yo
Can you rock to a house groove tempo?
If so, then shall we let the games begin?
What better off position can you be in?
I′m on fire, the flame′s too hot to douse
The pool is over, come into my house

"Don′t make me wait, come into my house"
"Give me body" (Repeat 2x)

Here′s a dance step, from now I′ll kick a
Bass and treble flow through the speakers
Ride the rhythm, I know it′s gonna reach ya
I′m the Queen, Latifah
Now it′s time to run through it
45 King? (Yeah, baby?) Cue it
Yeah, there you go, I told you you could do it
Now did you enjoy it? (That was cool) I knew it
Dance to the beat of the drum, give me some
With the Flavor Unit I′ve come to say "Ride the grooveline"
Don′t swing the pipeline, listen to the smooth line
Throw away the white line
It′s a house party I′m hosting (What?)
Come and rock with the one that′s chosen
It can′t turn me inside out (Uh uh)
For those that dare, come into my house

"Don′t make me wait, come into my house"
"Give me body" (Repeat 2x)

It′s a new fusion I′m using
You ask what is it I′m doing?
Hip-hop house, hip-hop jazz, with a little pizzazz
>From the Queen, the Queen of Royal Badness
Remember me from "Wrath of My Madness?"
It′s my rap that rocks this party
I′m a hijack and jack your body
This is not an erotic interlude
Keep in mind I move multitudes
The asiatic black woman, hardcore beat drumming
It′s hard to keep a good woman down, so I keep coming
Blow for blow, I take and I get some
Still I rise in a civilized wisdom
I hope the lyrical display has you around
It′s an open invitation, come into my house

"Don′t make me wait, come into my house"
"Give me body" (Repeat 4x)

Текст песни:

(Voiceover)
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen,
The keeper of the keys,
The countess of the clink
the mistress of murderers row,
Matron Mama Morton!

(Queen Latifah)
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
they′ll tell you I′m the biggest mother hen.
I love them all and all of them love me
because the system works,
the system called reciprocity.

Got a little motto,
Always sees me through:
"When you′re good to Mama, Mama′s good to you."

Theres a lot of favours I′m prepared to do,
You do one for Mama, she′ll do one for you.

They say that life is tit for tat,
and that′s the way I live.
So I deserve a lot of tat
For what I′ve got to give.

Don′t you know that this hand
washes that one too.
When you′re good to Mama, Mama′s good to you

If you want my gravy
Pepper my Ragu
Spice it up for mama
She′ll get hot for you

When they pass that basket
Folks contribute too,
You put in for Mama,
She′ll put out for you

The folks at top the ladder
are the ones the world adores
So boost me up my ladder, kid
and I′ll boost you up yours

Lets all stroke together
Like the princeton crew
When your stroking Mama, Mama′s stroking you

So whats the one conclusion
I could bring this number to -
When you′re good to Mama, Mamas good to you

@ Queen Latifah

Текст песни:

It′s a fact I′ll attest to mess around and I′ll arrest you
I ain′t playing you know what I′m saying?
This ain′t the best you′ve ever hear coming from a female MC
But you know what I mean? (Hail to the Queen!)
This MC stands for "Microphone Commando"
When I command that you take a hand
And throw it up in the air yeah just like that now
Chill and watch me rap cause I′m flowing (Flowing)
Just like water I slaughter (Slaughter)
A battle, put me in it, I win it
The mission is music and rhythm
Rhythm backed by words, all in my system
System by techniques, techniques I got my heart in
Heart into the music, music I take part in
One try, one God, and one destiny
Just dance for me

"Dance to the music" (Repeat 2x)

Now understand that you must (dance) because this is a beat to clap to
My brother Lance said "Latifah you got to make them get up off their feet"
So I put my rhyme to a DJ Mark beat
Ample samples, this for example
Are made by the 45 King, so cancel
Your plans of moving to the front lines
He′s a DJ, producer, and mind you a friend of mine
I hop, dip, and spend with the children
So get down with the sound and you will lend
To let me bring while I bring
Queen Latifah to the 45 King, creating
A new style in the name of the Flavor Unit
That′s the way we like it, so I′m doing it
So if you want to know what the plan is to be
I order you to dance for me

"Dance to the music" (Repeat 2x)

My voice is your choice at a stage show
I do it for the Flavor Unit to make you say "ho"
With powerful lyrics I′m armed
To let a sucker step up and get bombed
By a beat created by my producer
To break you out of the stuff that you′re used to
This here is a moment of truth
So take the record to the DJ booth
And let′s start this, let the beat get dumb
Cause I′m a shake it all night and then some
People dancing, I can spot ′em
When I take control, you know I got ′em
Stop the music? That′s not a question
The Flavor Unit takes no suggestions
If you′re not on the dance tip, here′s your chance to be
I order you to dance for me

"Dance to the music" (Repeat 6x)

@ Queen Latifah

Текст песни:

My mellow Latee was kicking flavor
The R.E. posse said "Yo Latifah we can do this"
So I paused in the thought and in my brillance I caught
And I agreed because I already knew this
Now you should want to flex cause I′m in full effect
Queen Latifah is five oh on this set
You′ve been begging and dying for somebody′s rhyming to set you free
For God so loved the world he gave to me
I′m cooling tacher knows me in school and
The mic, this mic in my hand, I′m ruling
So prepare your mind for my lifeline
And meet the new Queen of Royal Badness
Latifah has the spirit so head for the water
And dive into the wrath of my madness

(Latifah does a rasta chorus)

Some MC′s have gold and African vein
And useing each other to compete with
These subjects I pity because their minds are not witty like mine
To write a rhyme so delicious you can eat it
There are those who like my taste, but don′t consider biting
There′s penalties for those who don′t do writing, just be reciting
Everyone else′s word that took a lot of thinking
It′s not a fortune your thoughts are shrinking
While mine are growing, yes you know like all the woman inside of me
Despite what you do or say, and even in spite of me
Brothers catch my eye with little hijinks, like I wish
Dying to have a lover of my likeness
So release all your shyness, call me "Your highness"
And dare to feel the wrath of my madness

(Latifah does a rasta chorus)

Word of mouth is always everlasting
And everlasting are the words that I bring
The ruler of the ring is Lord Ramsey
And music is made by Mark the 45 King
You tremble for my treble, you′re begging for the bass
The voice is too vicious, the same as the pace
The crowds, they love me, they give only hugs
The shrinked-to-fit buttonflies fit quite snug
As a bug, you know why? Because I′m bugging
Of the beats that DJ Mark is loving
So plex on the sounds that I′m pumping
I′m jumping with the energy to turn your mind to gladness
Come on, just get into it, don′t lie and say you′ve been through it
Feel the wrath of my madness

(More rasta singing)

I scene is mine cause I took it
I took it for the money and I took it for the fun
Don′t step up in my face, you don′t want to feel the taste
Don′t try and play me out, cause I am not the one
Brothers on my brastrap, sisters clocking my sound, why?
Because they wanna be down with the
Queen L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command
I supply the concept for you to understand
For those who want to bite, don′t make me have to fuss
The only thing you get is the gluteous maximus
Suckers on the tip, you′re loving me, you′re leaving me
You wish that one day you could have this
Come on, you know the time, just be thankful for the rhyme
And get up on the wrath of my madness

(Extended ragga outro)

(Chorus)
How Do I Love Thee
Let Me Count The Ways
How Much Do I Love You
Well, Multiply Your Love By Infiniti


Picture A Vision Of Beauty
As We Dance By The Light Of The Moon
Your Passion So Often Consumes Me
Like The Lick Of A Native Tongue Tune
Reality Is Ours To Create
Fantasy Is Ours To Mold
Dream My Love Dream
With My Body And My Soul
Question Out My Faith
I′m Pledged To Be Your Lover
And After I Started Loving You
I Knew I′d Never Love Another
I′m Like A Child Within Your Arms
Would You Come Inside And Play With Me
Spend The Day With Me
Have Your Way With Me.

(Chorus)

Remember This Always
My Sweet One
No Lie Is True
And Dude It′s Not A Lie
When I Say That
I Would Die For You
You′re So Deep Within Thee
That Sometimes Your Just A Touch Away
But I Can′t Reach You
I Seek You
Come To Me
But Then You"re All Around Me
You Just Surround Me
And You Astound Me
And I Recieve You
′Fore I Complete You
It Pleases Me
To Have You Touch Me There
I Think You Know It Gets To Me
Stop
Don′t Stop
Ecstacy

(Chorus)

So Sweet
I Adore You
Come To Me
That′s Right
Come To Me

How Do I Love Thee
Let Me Count The Ways
How Do I Love Thee

Happiness Is Nothing Without You

Текст песни:

(Latif speaks)
Baby, you know you mean the world to me
That′s why I can′t keep you in a situation
where I can hurt you
Can I talk to you?
(Girl speaks)
Okay...

VERSE 1:
First of all, I wanna tell you
that all I do is have love for you
No matter we go separate ways,
I′ll still ride for you
′Cause you′re the truth
Can′t be replaced
You the type of girl that make
a nigga go out and get the ring
But the problem is
I′m not positive that I can give the commitment
that you′re asking for
′Cause right now I′m young and though you′re the one
I can′t guarantee that I can be the one you want

(You want someone who is faithful)
I′m not admitting I can′t do it, just dont wanna
put you through it
(If I may happen to see one)
She may holla, I may holla, but I wouldn′t wanna
do that to you, no

CHORUS:
Girl, I feel that I′ll be cheating you if I continue to see you
′Cause you′re not ready to get serious--I′m not ′cause I′m
still curious
See, I′d rather keep it real and tell you how I feel
′Cause I think you′re beautiful and I don′t wanna hurt you, no

VERSE 2:
See over and over again
I keep on saying to myself
I must be going out my
mind to not wanna spend more time with her
′Cause I love you more
and to game your heart
′Cause I know that I′m not ready
(To lock it down full time, settle down
with one dime, spend the rest of my life
with you)
It′s better cry now, than hate me later
Trust me I′ve had a broken heart before
and I
(I know just how it feels)
And know in time it will heal
(In time it will reveal)
I

Текст песни:

Queen Latifah]
The ladies will kick it the rhyme that is wicked
Those that don′t know how to be pros get evicted
A woman can bear you break you take you
Now it′s time to rhyme can you relate to
A sister dope enough to make you holler and scream

[Monie Love]
Ayo let me take it from here Queen...
Excuse me but I think I′m about do
To get into precisely what I am about to do
I′m conversating to the folks that have no whatsoever clue
So listen very carefully as I break it down for you
Merrily merrily merrily merrily hyper happy overjoyed
Pleased with all the beats and rhymes my sisters have employed
Slick and smooth throwing down the sound totally a yes
Let me state the position: Ladies first, yes? (Yes)

(Yeah, there′s going to be some changes in here)

[Monie Love]
Believe me when I say being a woman is great, you see
I know all the fellas out there will agree with me
Not for being one but for being with one
Because when it′s time for loving it′s the woman that gets some
Strong, stepping, strutting, moving on
Rhyming, cutting, and not forgetting
We are the ones that give birth
To the new generation of prophets because it′s Ladies First

[Queen Latifah]
I break into a lyrical freestyle
Grab the mic, look into the crowd and see smiles
Cause they see a woman standing up on her own two
Sloppy slouching is something I won′t do
Some think that we can′t flow (can′t flow)
Stereotypes, they got to go (got to go)
I′m a mess around and flip the scene into reverse
(With what?) With a little touch of "Ladies First"

Who said the ladies couldn′t make it, you must be blind
If you don′t believe, well here, listen to this rhyme
Ladies first, there′s no time to rehearse
I′m divine and my mind expands throughout the universe
A female rapper with the message to send the
Queen Latifah is a perfect specimen

[Monie Love]
My sister, can I get some?

[Queen Latifah]
Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb

[Monie Lovie]
Yo, praise me not for simply being what I am
Born in L-O-N-D-O-N and sound American
You dig exactly where I′m coming from
You want righteous rhyming, Imma give you some
To enable you to aid yourself and get paid
And the material that has no meaning I wish to slay
Pay me every bit of your attention
Like mother, like daughter, I would also like to mention
I wish for you to bring me to, bring me to the rhythm
Of which is now systematically given
Desperately stressing I′m the daughter of a sister
Who′s the mother of a brother who′s the brother of another
Plus one more; all four
Have a job to do, we doing it
Respect due, to the mother who′s the root of it
And next up is me, the M-O-N-I-E L-O-V-E
And I′m first cause I′m a L-A-D-I-E

[Queen Latifah]
Contact and in fact, the style, it gets harder
Cooling on the scene with my European partner
Laying down track after track, waiting for the climax
When I get there, that′s when I tax
The next man, or the next woman
It doesn′t make a difference, keep the competition coming
And I′ll recite the chapter in verse
The title of this recital is "Ladies First"

Текст песни:

[Queen Latifah]
You asked I came so behold the Queen
Let′s add a little sense to the scene
I′m living positive not out here knocked up
But the lines are so dangerous I ought to be locked up
This rhyme doesn′t require prime time
I′m just sharing thoughts of mine
Back again cause I knew you wanted it
>From the Latifah with the Queen in front of it
Dropping bombs you′re up in arms, you′re puzzled
The lines will flow like fluid while you′re guzzling
The sip I drop you on a BDP-produced track
>From KRS to be exact
It′s a Flavor Unit quest that today has me speaking
Cause it′s knowledge I′m seeking
Enough about myself, I think it′s time that I tell you
About the evil that men do

Situations, reality, what a concept!
Nothing ever seems to stay in step
So today, here is a message to my sisters and brothers
Here are some things I want to cover
A woman strives for a better life, but who the hell cares?
Because she′s living on welfare
I government can′t come up with a decent housing plan
So she′s in no man′s land
It′s a sucker who tells you you′re equal

[KRS-One]
You don′t need him, Johannasburg′s crying for freedom!

[Queen Latifah]
We the people hold these truths to be self-evident

[KRS-One]
But there′s no response from the president

[Queen Latifah]
Someone′s living the good life, tax-free
Except for a girl, can′t find a way to be crack free
And that′s just part of the message
I thought I had to send you about the evil that men do

Tell me, don′t you think it′s a shame?
When someone can put a quarter in a video game
But when a homeless person approaches you on the street
You can′t treat him the same
It′s time to teach the def, the dumb, the blind
That black-on-black crime only shackles and binds
You to a doom, a fate worse than death
But there′s still time left
Stop putting your conscience on cease
And bring about some type of peace
Not only in your heart, but also in your mind
It will benefit all mandkind
Then there will be one thing that will never stop
And it′s the evil that men do

@ Queen Latifah

Текст песни:

(Queen Latifah)
Yo what′s up this is Queen Latifah in the house
Definetely representin Jersey on the love love
Coolin′ in the county; shoot (???)
But damn I miss home

[Chorus 4X]
I can′t.. forget New Jersey

(Verse 1: Queen Latifah)
When I think of home I think of a place where theres no over-flowin
And all my family and peeps I knew when I was growin
Mommy and daddy made me proud to in Owens
So for me to keep goin, I would become
Her eminental royal highness
The Queen Latifah; no doubt; one of New Jersey′s finest
So, said it all
Get up on all of my own
Cause Jersey′s what I think about when I think of home
Don′t let know one get close to you except the chosen
Stick with the ones who meant the most to you
when you were broke and blue, that′s how fam do
That′s how you stay true around these snakes
that freakin′ smile when they hate you
I′m quick to take the ride down for in-town
(Just another day living on a down)
My experience legit, my rhymes is on hit
It′s mad truth to the room where we the shit; I can′t forget

[Chorus]

(Verse 2: Queen Latifah)
I used to work at Burger King but after takin orders
I used to take the path to Latin Quarters across the waters
Where I learned to do the Who, yo, I couldn′t stop
I brought it back around the way to show the peple on my block
Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it
It looks so simple like that there′s nothin to it
So, we meet at Irvan′s (???) and after school I run
To the wall of Brookmore boots, there was Solamon
I had a talent for getting up for gear
A petty thief, small time crook of the year
But I chilled cause I had bigger dreams than to steal
And Ramsey came for me and Patchy to put our voices on a reel
And I could hear myself on the radio
"45 King Special Red Alert Show"
Cause that′s what life was all about to me
All E-E flavor you did it, represent Jersey

[Chorus]

(Verse 3: Queen Latifah)
I think about my mom and my brothers when I′m all swoll
Shock, Kim, when I′m all swoll
My baby sister. when I′m all swoll
Hostan, when I′m all swoll
Ill-Town, when I all swoll
Jill-Town, J.C, when I′m all swoll
(???) to (???) so on, when I′m all swoll
Recognize the whole mama soul
We got Naughty
In another words we got Nicky
We got Redman, the Order Facts and Whitney (???)
Bruce Springsteen, and a house ah blacks
Shaquille O′Neal, oh he′ll catch rack
Tisha Campbell, Jerry Lewis, Tony Bennett
Back spin, or spin it,
Thursday peppermint and I′m in it
Shag do′s, I does no fo′s in the spot
Cause them peeps is my peeps and my back is got
Nuf′ respect to your burough, your block
You′re black; I love to see us move as a flock
Unscrapped, against each other
No body armor
Nobody harms a hair on a head, everything calmer
We ghetto stars and fools
We paid the dues
We made the blues
So come on with the come on
And get down with the get down
I′m down with my hometown sound

[Chorus]

Текст песни:

Well, it’s almost nightfall
And there’s no forecast of rainfall
And I’m in the mood for a party
So I’m gonna go out to a club
And give the dancefloor body
So I jump in the car and go to the venue
Walk in the door and now I’m on the menu
Guys in the house, they’re wacthing me
They’re clocking me, there’s no stopping me

(refrain)
(desire) I know you want me
(you’re fine) thank you
But I’m not the type of girl that you think I am
I don’t jump into the arms of every man
(but I’m paid) I don’t need your money
(I love you) you must be mad
Easy lover is something that I ain’t
Besides, I don’t know you from a can of paint

Tell me why is it when I walk past the guys
I always hear, yo, baby?
I mean like what’s the big idea?
I’m a queen, nuff respect
Treat me like a lady
And, no, my name ain’t yo and I ain’t got your baby
I’m looking for a guy who’s sincere
One with class and savoir faire
I’m looking for someone who has to be
Perfect for the queen latifah me

(fly girl, fly girl)
(come here, cuz you’re sexy and you’re fine)
(and I want you to be mine)
(fly girl, fly girl)
(have no fear, your heart is in good hands)
(won’t you let me be your man? )

All my friends are in relationships
Some of then good ones and some of them bad ones
Some of the bad ones took a turn for the better
And some of the good ones ended up sad ones
You see? loving, it ain’t hard to get
I want a friend not just a lover
Someone who is dedicated only to me
Not to me and two or three others
One who will not lie to me or think
He can get my love by buying me
I know I’ll find him some day
And when I find him
He sure won’t say

(repeat refrain)

(fly girl, fly girl
(come here, cuz you’re sexy and you’re fine)
(and I want you to be mine)
(fly girl, fly girl, have no fear)
(have no fear, your heart is in good hands)
(won’t you let me be your man? )

Lounging, sitting in the house
And I’m cooling, first day of the week
So there’s nothing to do
And I’m in the mood for a real soft kiss
Momma never said there’ll be days like this
So I called her and we talked for a while
Hang up the phone feeling better
With a smile

It’s cool, cuz 91 is my year
And this time I know I’m gonna hear

(fly girl, fly girl, come here)
(come here, cuz you’re sexy and you’re fine)
(and I want you to be mine)
(fly girl, fly girl)
(have no fear, your heart is in good hands)
(won’t you let me be your man? )

(repeat refrain)

Fly girl (15x)

[Queen Latifah]
Possy Dovey! (Yes mama?) Time to get up!

Hello I′m Queen Latifah how ya doing?
I hope that you′re with this I hope that you′re willing
I want to introduce you to a cut called
"Mama Gave Birth to the Soul Children"

[Dove]
Well here comes the goy (Goy?)
The truth to the goy
You know the one that ate up like boy
Stepping with a step, keeping with a kept
Making an appearance with a notty-head set
Lunatics you lose cause the Plug 2′s singing
Peace to the negative, nah, you make the weigh-in
Weigh-in, weigh-in, way out of order
If you know you′re better, you′d better that you caught a
Waving mine a peace sign higher than a kite
If you′re feeling sick, it′s alright it′s fever night
Don′t do "Do see do" and dig in no potholes
Cause if you do we calling in March Patrol
It′s no different from the verbal last heard
Cayumbo is the ruler that′s bond to the word
He′s moving more than three feet, jocking with the knee deep
Dove is going to leave you with a tweet tweet tweet

[Posdnuos]
Next on the menu, we continue with the pasta
Dipped in chocolate, served with lotsa
Twizzlers and honey, yum yum yummy
Lyrics I′m flaunting is good for the tummy
Tiptoing in I proceed to the floors
Selling much records like a pimp mover
Excuse me mommy, Pos wins
Cause I′m the A to the Plug W-O-N
Brother freak it live for this tribe
Now let′s ride down the highway of vibes
Pushing that we start cause the soul says please
Cutting back with the raps and we don′t get cheese
Ducks and we sit need to get ????
Cause preacher is the key to the casualty
Polaroid flicks are back and you know
That the soul is moving on up like the Jeffersons

Go mommy! (Repeat 16x)

[Queen Latifah]
I′m back, a black queen upon the scene
With a knack for funky tracks, know what I mean?
Prince Paul produces this and it′s a fly one
It has a beat that weigh, he′s one of my sons
It′s a family affair and then we′re out of here
There is no doubt here, cause this is our year
So flex to a Queen Latifah/De La Soul sound
(Go ahead mama get down)
It′s inevitable that this joint venture would be incredible
We never put ourselves on any pedistal
But the rhyme is so good it′s practically edible (Say what?)
So check the sounds of Mama Zulu
As I relay the story untold
And if you′re wondering why I got kids so big
They weren′t born from the body, they were born from the soul

(De La Soul gives shoutouts til fade)
