Come
Yo my name is Latifah
(Yeah)
Yo my name is Latifah
(Yeah)
Yo my name is Latifah
(Yeah)
Yo my name is Latifah
Yo I am a bill
Yes I'm only a bill
(Yo yo la chill, yo nature want
To hear some of that up-to-date
New swing stuff)
Aight I got this
Here we go
One mo' time
(Kick it)
To all the coons, I say hi-de-ho
Crazy Kay Gee kickin hits like Karate Joe
Always with the mind everytime to
Blame it on whitey so
See just black and white
There's no room for that in the 90's, yo
I'm still a bill and still checkin'
Mics one-two
A whole year later made you wait til
The albums through
So many controversies in the language
Of rap
It wasn't a cuss that started a fuss
That's just a black thing
Figure of speech is one thing
But not enough of those reruns
Callin sister this and tricks
You gotta be one to see one
And sisters, brothers ain't all to blame
This may help
Cause no respect is given to those who
Cannot respect self, see
The queen spoken
Yeah I'm yokin my head is hot
My style is like me shootin hoops
Yeah, I better drop
For the last time, it's rag time I go for mine
I was leanin towards a reason
To get steamin one more time
One more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah
(Say what? Say what?)
One more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah
(Say what? Say what?)
One more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah
(Say what? Say what?)
One more time
A little taste from a Birds Eye view
Of all the styles I might do
Don't have it down to a tee
I have it down to a Q
U know the E-E-N is close friends
So they come too
You ever step in the way
You get stepped on and stepped through
The flavor units come and then
We must make room
For all the flavors here
This one of my all-time flavor-ite tunes
Dissin the Latifah? What this for?
You'd better off rammin your head against
A brick wall seagal
Time to rag that asset from corner to cassette
Chumps come try to trash it and see how
Far that gets
On the rhymin tip, I ain't no joke
Singin tip? Golden throat!
I hold a note so long, here's a random note
Prepare for war the worst who first
Sharon a
Glock, lick shot from Africa, bust'em
At America!
I never bite my tongue
This is what some long nights have done
Bitin to me DONT even sound like it
Might be fun
Start with a change of heart and save
All that sorry child
I'm like P.E I get bold, buckwild, safari style
For the last time it's ragtime I go for mine
I was leanin towards a reason
To get you steamin one more time
One more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-FA-H, yeah
(Say what? say what?)
One more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah
(Say what?,say what?)
One more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H,yeah
(Well the name is Latifah)
(Say what, say what)
(Well the name is Latifah)
One more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H,yeah
(Well the name is Latifah)
(Say what say what)
One more time
Put a freeze on your jolly raps
I ain't dizzy dolly that
Takes a line and a splatterin'
No happenin' when it's probably wack
Don't approach the queen like she's a skeeze
Cause I am way past that
Makin my own savin my own
Is why yall always find me stacked
Keepin' my cool speakin my mind
And givin it all I got alright
Bustin buffoons peekin to find
Who's goin left and playin right
Lovin my crew bringin "em up
Leadin' "em all to somethin great
Want to be sure
One may not have
But since I'm strong
My clique is straight
And I could never go out like an exit
Cause my fans behind me
And they wouldn't expect it
I'm level-headed head-to-head
I'm headed straight to Harlem
Though I'm not dreaded dread the Fred
If they're not there you call'em
I need my brothers and sisters
With me standing hand to hand
Band to band we're off land to land and
Buyin' much property properly, pronto,
Please
That's the only way a black business
Starts you see
Name callin hasn't Fallin into what I'm
Runnin
I wouldn't diss another sister less
She had it comin'
One time I'm chillin when I sing it
You think that you can swing it? Then
Bring it
