(Intro)

Good evening ladies and gentlemen, I am the one and only Queen Bee

After me there will be none, but you could call me Miss White

Most people know me as, Lil Kim the head of the La Bella Mafia

Oh, shoutout to my girl Victoria Gotti and the whole Gotti family stay up

(Verse 1)

This time around I ain't takin no shit, this time around I never get bit

This time around I switched up my flow

Got rid of the pits and put rotts by the do'

This time around it ain't like befo'

This time around I'm gon' crack ya jo'

The feds is watchin me so I can't do much

Speak the wrong words bitch and you will get touched

I'm back on the scene my favorite color is green

I'm buildin a empire got a whole new team

Pimp game is strong, raps is just harder than they ever been

You can never win

Made my way through Hollywood fashion world adores me

Music's my first love a nine to five bores me

Love me or hate me Lil Kim come through

My fans across the world I came back for you

(Chorus)

I came back for you

All incarcerated scarfaces gangstas with the fed cases

I came back for you, all my fans across the world holla at your girl

I came back for you

Everybody's waitin on me all these ho's hatin on me

I came back for you, the mink rockin Benz coppin keep the bottles poppin

(Verse 2)

It's the real hip hop mami check the facts

I'm sick of all you acts with your bubble gum raps

Like the sand in the hour glass you out of your time

Tried to go against the queen is you out of your mind?

Even be at number two, your chances is slim

Cause when God made Adam, he should've made Kim

I gave a few passes but I never forget

It's enough I got to put up with this Doo Doo Brown chick

Now you and you wanna come at me from all sides

I'm gettin money, don't think I just be lettin shit slide

I'm very concerned with fashion ain't my fault y'all don't know how ta

Rock this Hollyhood thang y'all need to let me style ya

Come back, to the light ma, I started the shit

How soon we forget I'm the heart of the shit

So keep your tacky ways and go back to your stripper days

As long as I'm around, you gon' bow down

(Chorus)

I came back for you

All incarcerated scarfaces gangstas with the fed cases

I came back for you, all my fans across the world holla at your girl

I came back for you

Everybody's waitin on me all these ho's hatin on me

I came back for you, the mink rockin Benz coppin keep the bottles poppin

(Verse 3)

This time around either your in or your out

This time around you better watch your mouth

This time around you gon' hang or bang

This time around you better do your thang

Cause I'm the best that ever done it, the best that lived it

I ain't no overnight success goddamnit I was born with it

The Prada mama, the Dolce and Gabbana drippin

The Blue Hypnotic Martini Mimosa sippin

Y'all better team up or get it together

Or you, you and her can get it whenever

Huh, I got a army y'all can't harm me

If the shoe was on the other foot you probably try to starve me

Don't get your life tooken I know I got you shooken

This Bed Stuy fly girl came back for Brooklyn
