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)

Текст песни:

(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
Let Me Count The Ways

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.

Please Don′t Go
Happiness Is Nothing Without You
Stay.
My Sweet One
I Adore You
Hold Me
Come To Me
Love Me
Love Me

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"

@ Queen Latifah

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]

@ Queen Latifah

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)

Текст песни:

Uh huh, well the name is latifah, you hear me coming through
The spreaker. hit it mark, 45 king

I am a bill, yes I’m only a bill when
It’s time to ill I get ill and time to chill
I chill, my homeboy said this was the d.a.i.s.y. age
I take it as meaning you have to get crazy paid
You hope I’m from your borough, because I’m thorough
You want me to be down with you, to be seen walking around with you
Go to the store and buy a brew and rock a rhyme or two
So you can bite it, you taste it, you like it
You think I’m sleeping on you? please, don’t even try it
The name is latifah, the scene, it is mine
The 45 king keeps the beat and the time while i
Rock to the rhythm and keep it blowing out
So don’t try to turn me inside out

Latifah is the name you love
Flying through rhymes like a dove
Slapping suckers with a glove
Challenge me and you will burn
Yes in the fire you will burn

It’s so so simply done
When I find that I have to run
Lyrics to music by the king of swing, the 45 king
The words we bring I write, and sing
Cause I am latifah, the queen of course
Don’t try to get yours off, because the cause is lost
Mark conducts the beat, I watch it hit them
Won’t you chill? I don’t need another victim
To add to the list of aggrivation
Subtracting suckers like a math computation
We are not teaching pupils and subjects with no scruples
This is a king and queen creation
So hello hello hello and how ya doing?
Forget the smalltalk now, it’s time for me to ruin
Those who don’t believe in what I’m saying
When I put up the wall of words ain’t no way into my queendom
Controlled by me, the heir to the throne is the ruler lord ramsey
The ruler lord, to him there is no equal
He grabs it and starts bombing people
Don’t listen to me to figure me out
Because you can’t turn my mind inside out

Latifah is the name you love
Flying through rhymes like a dove
Slapping suckers with a glove
Challenge me and you will burn
Yes in the fire you will burn

Rhyming’s not a question of one superiority
But rather how you delegate the use of your authority
I know who you are, and I know who you are to me
But I came here just to party
If it’s a show you want, the show it live
And if it’s trouble you seek, I have arrived
When mark requests my approval, I nod
And after each and every single rhyme I thank god
Altough a taste of my body would soothe you
I give you just my voice and watch the rhythm move you
The method of my lyrics makes the funky people feel it
And lord have mercy on those that try to steal it
Latifah is a name meaning "delicate and sensitive"
But I have no problem formulating sentences
To break you down to the ground
I won’t use violence, the color of this is brown
And I am down, but never ever down and out
So don’t try to turn me inside out

Latifah is the name you love
Flying through rhymes like a dove
Slapping suckers with a glove
Challenge me and you will burn
Yes in the fire you will burn

Jah know? cause ah...

Music, 45 king, music latifah the queen
Music, domination to bring the world
Irie, say in the fire you will burn (repeats to fade)

As I look back on my life (check it)
To get where I am I had to sacrifice
You slammed my name in your magazine
This business gets hard tryin′ to stay a queen
You′re checkin′ for me, you need to check yourself
(Ooh, check yourself)
And be someone, not someone else
(Ooh, someone else)

Repeat 1

Ad lib until fade

Chorus: (1x)
Just Another Day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today, feelin lovely-yay
Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today
I hear the(gunshot), but I′m here to stay

[Verse 1]
Well it′s a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day in the neighbor-hood
Can′t go wrong, I feel strong and the flavor′s good
I′m wit whateva comes my way, hip-hop hooray
Latifah′s on vacation, I′m just plain on day to day
I strap out, step out in every direction
Glock, tech′s, jimmy hat′s, in case I need protection
So I land cruise, play I wanna be′s
A kid in the increase gettin jack right in front of me
So I pull the tech close, my finger′s on the trigger
Don′t wanna get wet, so they step
Cause mine′s is slighty bigger
But better yet, I′ma threat, so ya better walk
Or get sketched out in chalk, cause I don′t wanna talk
I stay true blue, I′m hopin it′s you too
I got the fever for the flava of a??????
So it′s back to the block time to play
It′s just another day around the way, hey

[Chorus: 1x]

[Verse 2]
Time to chill, hit the hill, uptown let′s keep it sight′s
Shoot some pool, act a fool, cause it′s own tonight
I′m doin the knowledge, it′s not easy, easy
Watchin a cop cuff a kid for sellin a clip to a D.T.
But it′s home, so I flex, get pressure′s off my chest
Slip in a tape, now which hood should I hit next
Stomach ache, had a steak, and take for a bean pie
Get a final call for the brother in a bow-tie
I′m from little kid′s, dream, and fiend for fun
Lots of laughter moms, no pops playin wit her son
I pass by a girl wake, they say she died at seven
Hit by a stray, but I pray their′s a hood in heaven
Fake brother′s claim their′s no shame in they′re game
You know my name, show me a real nigga wit a brain
Too it′s back to the block time to play
It′s just another day around the way, hey

[Chorus: 1x]

[Verse 3]
You know I gotta get props, I can′t stop, wit out y′all
I be nothin, no wreckin, no checkin, no rhymin, no cuttin
No stages from pages, no phones, no beeper′s
No reason to put Queen in front of the name Latifah
I come with the real like respectin in rule
Cause me and my peoples around the way remain cool
So it′s back to the block time to play
It′s just another day, around the wha, around the muthafuckin way

[Chorus until fade]

Текст песни:

Basslines affect me when my rhymes direct me
Forgive the crowds O Lord they know not why they sweat me
Biting′s against the law in the place that I live
So I lock up the door with the keys to my crib
The call me the high priestess of this hasta
Although I′m not a dread and not a rasta
There′s never been a word I can′t master
I′ve always been a piddly pastor
I reign the lesson of today
You have to listen to each and every single word I have to say
Because the Ruler Lord Ramsey is on my side
And I′m the princess of the posse, so yo, take it light

The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool one
She rhyme on my record and she ram jam me gun
The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool girl
She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world

You try to dissect my rhymes to see if there′s a pattern
I bounced it all around you like the rings around Saturn
Let me know now if you′d like to protest
And proceeding a greeting, or would you rather progress
Onto a higher plateau, to the peak and I′m taking it slow
Enough for you to see the knowledge and to know
I′m the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H
Queen of the Army Posse, the DLA which is
Get live alright, you standing there chewing on your fingernails
Nervous, watching me doing the live thing
Singing like a bird sing, ringing like the phone ring
I′m the Queen and you′re the underling
I′m never following, I follow nothing
The princess of the posse is a cool one

The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool one
She rhyme on my record and she ram jam me gun
The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool girl
She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world

I′m the queen of the clan, with a mic in my hand
I step over suckers to position myself to rule this land
It′s a concoction, for my ability
To show the skeezers the meaning of humility
Cause they don′t know I′m the one to fly one or two
I′m snatching hearts cause I′m Latifah and I want to
I find it necessary to tell you to get off my tip
I′m kicking gold, so grab a hoe and get a good grip
Stop the lying, the trying
The time buying, you′ve been denying
You′re dependent on me, the princess of the posse
I got the cards, so I′m dealing a death blow
You′re taking no crowns, put that on cease
My DJ′s name is Mark the 45 King to the posse
Peace, got to let you know where I come from
The princess of the posse is a cool one

The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool one
She rhyme on my record and she ram jam me gun
The Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool girl
She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world

Now take run the family
Me say me have to do it for the R.E. posse
You try to be down, you can′t take the crown
Maybe from someone else but not me (Repeat 2x)
