Lyrics van Atif & Suggest
A King And Queen Creation
[45 king]
Let's start the show off, sisters ago look alive
The queen latifah, the king of 45
Bringing a mixture of pure flavor
I make beats, she rock rhymes, so i gave a
A sample sound, the she added a compound
Word, this is for those who haven't heard
A king and queen combine minds and trample
Thos who oppose us, here's an example
[queen latifah]
It's time to run, the king and queen is on the set
The competition is petty and ready to step
To the first one, go ahead, rehearse one
I hope you don't know you sound like the worst one
Rhymes are smoking, concentration can't be broken
Queen latifah's outspoken
Use your imagination, picture this
Any male or female rapper trying to diss
Here for excitement and enticement
With my competitors killed i go build with my enlightenment
Teach the youth, feed the needy
Confident decendent of queen nefertiti
The mother of civilization will rise
Like the cream and still build the strong foundation
Secondary but necessary to reproduce
Acknowledge the fact that i'm black and i don't lack
Queen latifah is giving you a piece of my mind
A rhyme spoken by a feminine teacher
Rhymes i do employ, no time for slimy toys
I'm steady and stable and the label is tommy boy
Backed by the unit, produced by the king
Perfection pressed with the style that we bring
For the hip-hop patients, this is a king and queen creation
[45 king]
Technician, musical musician
I'm stating the facts, strictly non-fiction
In hip-hop, you wonder who's in trouble most
Creativity, you get a double dose
How can you stop me? no, i put you to a test
The rhymes are romeo (the beat's a juliet)
With topic blend, this makes me a hard one
Persevere, i'm here, gets taught one
Strength producer, i send you an ultimatum
Hardcore worldwide is how i take 'em
I rock, never hyperventilate
Others get tired, could use a commercial break
45 king, dj mark's my alias
It takes a ton of mc's to prevail against me
Just listen, i'm unstoppable
You want a mission? this one's impossible
Beats rock all night with no curfew
My talent's advanced, you haven't a clue
How i do it, the smoothest loopest spare it
If the style fits, i wear it
Many attempts were made, none was recognized
45 king said sample soundified
I'm going to wonderland to check, find out who's next
You pretty good, but not quite a legend yet
Studio mixer, i got the formula
And said the man from self, i'm warning you
It's my domain, just ask my chauffer
My ride's equipped everything from a pool to a sofa
On top, it's a usual act
Can't wait to get down to 45 studios
I'm into rap, but no urge to sing
I'm dj mark, 45, 45 king of swing

As Time Goes By
This day and age we're living in
Gives cause for apprehension
With speed and new invention
And things like third dimension
Yet we get a trifle weary
With Mr. Einstein's theory
So we must get down to earth at times
Relax relieve the tension
And no matter what the progress
Or what may yet be proved
The simple facts of life are such
They cannot be removed
You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss,
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by
And when two lovers woo
They still say, "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
(Queen Latifah) Times don't change, right?
(Rod Stewart) Sing it to me, Latifah
Oh, I'm singing it to you right now
Cause we're talking about
Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jealousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny
Well, it's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by
As time goes by
Time goes by

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

Beatiful
Everything's been what it should and even more
I couldn't ask for a much sweeter time
Then when I wake up everytime my head hits the ceiling
Then spinning around round and around my senses are reeling
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, so beautiful to me
When I look back to the times before you
Take and replace all those empty afternoons
I Didn't know what my life had in-store
Then suddenly you came into view whatever you could do
I couldn't resist, I'm telling you this because it's so true
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, so beautiful to me
Isn't it funny though
Isn't it really something?
Don't let that feeling go
Don't let it go
Now that the time has been rolling on
Were on are way in our little paradise
Things couldn't be any better you see
We're flying so high, walking the sky and over the ceiling
Then I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
So beautiful (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To me
You're beautiful
So beautiful (I get a rush thinking of us and oh what a feeling)
To Me (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To Me (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To Me (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To Me (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To Me

California Dreamin'
Away for a walk on a winter's day
I'd be so safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
I stopped into a church yes I did, that I passed along the way
And I got down on my knees down on my knees
And I pretended to pray, you know the preacher he likes it cold
'Coz he knows I'm gonna stay, as he knows I'm gonna stay
California dreamin' on such a winter's day, oh yeah
All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray
I've been for a walk on a cold winter's day, yeah
I'd be so safe and warm if I was in L.A
California dreamin' on such a winter's day
On such a winter's day, on such a winter's day
California, California dreamin', California dreamin'
Play that for me
I know it's just a dream, dream of California dreamin'

Can't Let Love
Until something made me realize
You're the best thing that happened to me
You're my pride and joy, my destiny
Girl, you know I love my music first
Don't be calling, getting on my nerves
(I ain't tryna hear it no)
'Cause what's best for me is best for her
I wanna give you, girl, what you deserve
I don't mind spending time
Girl, you know the bottom line
Gotta go, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
On the road night and day
Maybe later we could play
Bottom line, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
After months of being out of town
I popped up in your door unannounced
Hoping that I would've seen the worst
If shorty messing 'round, getting hurt
But the outcome was so beautiful
She was cooking something in her robe
(Um hmm, it smelled so good)
She was sexy as she wanted to be
She's my baby girl, my everything
I don't mind spending time
Girl, you know the bottom line
Gotta go, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
On the road night and day
Maybe later we could play
Bottom line, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
Maybe later we could play
Can't let love get in the way
Girl, I wish that I could stay
Gotta go, baby, I can't stay
Maybe later we could play
Can't let love get in the way
Girl, I wish that I could stay
Gotta go, baby, I can't stay
I don't mind spending time
Girl, you know the bottom line
Gotta go, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
On the road night and day
Maybe later we could play
Bottom line, I can't stay
Can't let love get in the way
Baby, let me tell you something
You know what I gotta do, girl
I'm always on the road
Oh, yeah
I said, I get lonely, baby
Ooh, said I get lonely at night
I'm laying by myself
'Cause I know I gotta treat my baby right

Come into My House
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
Give me body
Give me body
Welcome into my queendom, come one come all
When it comes to lyrics 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 party
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
Don't make me wait
Come into my house
Give me body
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? 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 groove line"
Don't swing the pipeline, listen to the smooth line
Throw away the white line
It's a house party I'm hosting
Come and rock with the one who's chosen
It can't turn me inside out
For those who dare, to come into my house
Don't make me wait
Come into my house
Give me body
Don't make me wait
Come into my house
Give me body
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 pizazz
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
Don't make me wait
Come into my house
I want you to give me body
Don't make me wait
Come into my house
I know you're there, give me body
Don't make me wait
Come into my house
All the ones on the dance floor give me body
Yeah, come on, yeah
Come on, yeah
Give me body
Give me body
Give me body
Give me body
Come on, come on
Give me body
I know you're out there
I want you to come over here
To do a little somethin' like this
Shake it up then
Give me body
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait
Don't make me wait

Dance for Me
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?
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
Dance to the music
Dane, dance
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
Dance to the music
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
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Dance to the music

Evil That Men Do
[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

Failure To Delay Gratification
Beaten down
Penniless and suffering for real
I need that alcohol I need
It never ends
Left me powerless
Driven down
Tell my why I'm so fucked
It's hard to want that fix so hard
Nothing can kill this fear

Fly Girl
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 dance floor 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 watching me
They're clocking me, there's no stopping me
(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 savior 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 them 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
(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
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
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
Have no fear
Your heart is in good hands
Won't you let me be your man?
(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

Gone Away
But you are gone and I know, I know, I know you're gone
You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you I didn't intend it
You are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind
You're not gonna stay
But I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby
I lost you, baby, you were gone
Forgive and forget it that's not what I'll ask you to do
'Cause I want you back, yeah
You know, you know I want you back
And in concluding my mental discussion
I found I lost my prized possession
You are gone away, I keep tellin' my mind
You're not gonna stay
And I believe sometimes that I lost you, baby
I lost you, baby, you were gone
You were mine for only a minute
And if I hurt you I didn't intend it

Hello Stranger
It seems so good to see you back again
Tell me how long has it been?
Seems like a mighty long time
It seems like a mighty long time
Oh, oh, oh, my, my, my, I'm so glad
You stopped by to say, "Hello" to me
Remember that's the way it used to be
It seems like a mighty long time
Ooh, seems like a mighty long time, oh yeah
Oh yes, I'm so glad you are here again
Oh, oh, if you're not gonna stay
Please don't tease me like you did before because I still love you so
Although it seems like a mighty long time
Listen baby, it seems, seems like a mighty long time
Oh my, my, my, my, my
I'm still have you baby
I think you are here to last
I'm stayin', stayin' down here longer this time
Still love you

I Don't Blame You
(Yo, baby, you alright?)
Oh yeah
(Come here, let me talk to you for a second)
Ooh
(I know, I know, I know)
(Let me make you feel better)
Oh, ga ga ga ga ga ga, baby
(Just talk to me)
(I'll never know unless you just open up and talk to me)
I can tell something's wrong
Baby, I can tell something is wrong, girly
(I'm always here, believe me)
Say what's the matter, baby?
There's something heavily weighing your mind
How about a conversation?
I intend to ease your worries tonight
Please don't hold back your emotions
It pains me to see you hold feelings inside
I know you won't let it break yet
And you'll be okay if you give love a try
Girl, you gave your heart
But that brother never cared
Thinking to yourself you wish
You wouldn't have gone there
Afraid to love again
Thinking all men are the same
Girl, I don't blame you
Girl, you gave your heart
But that brother never cared
Thinking to yourself you wish
You wouldn't have gone there
Afraid to love again
Thinking all men are the same
Girl, I don't blame you
I know for certain you're hurting, babe
You won't feel love is real
Without ample time to heal
Learning to trust without fear
And to move beyond the past and your tears
No memories remain, the heartaches, the pain
They seem to never ever, ever go away
Just let me know when you're ready, babe
To forever be my lady, my lady
Girl, you gave your heart
But that brother never cared
Thinking to yourself you wish
You wouldn't have gone there
Afraid to love again
Thinking all men are the same
Girl, I don't blame you
Girl, you gave your heart
But that brother never cared
Thinking to yourself you wish
You wouldn't have gone there
Afraid to love again
Thinking all men are the same
Girl, I don't blame you
Girl, you gave your heart
But that brother never cared
Thinking to yourself you wish
You wouldn't have gone there
Afraid to love again
Thinking all men are the same
Girl, I don't blame you
Girl, you gave your heart

I Don't Wanna Hurt You
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)
If our love is real, ohh
CHORUS X2
(Trust me girl, I never wanted to,
I never wanted to hurt you) X2
No, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, woah, woah, woah, woah
No, yeah
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...
If I do baby, don't tell you the truth, it will
only hurt you later, later, oh girl
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...

Cause I love ya more, and to game your heart.
Cause I know that I'm not ready,
To lock it down 4 times,
Settle down with 1 dime,
spend the rest of my life with you.
It's better right now, than any later.
Trust me, I've had a broken heart before.
I know just how it feels,
And know in time it will...
In time it will reveal, if our love is real.

Girl I feel that I'll be cheatin' you

Trust me girl, I never wanted to, I never wanted to hurt you.
Trust me girl, I never wanted to, I never wanted to hurt you.
No, no, no, no...
No, yeah
[Chorus]
Girl I feel that I'll be cheatin' you
If I continue twistin' you
Cause you're ready to get serious,
I'm not cause I'm still curious

I Know Where I've Been [From Hairspray]
Though the night is black as my skin
There's a light burning bright
Showing me the way
But I know where I've been
There's a cry in the distance
It's a voice that comes from deep within
There's a cry asking why
I pray the answer's up ahead, yeah
'Cause I know where I've been
There's a road we've been traveling
Lost so many on the way
But the riches will be plenty
Worth the price, the price we had to pay
There's a dream in the future
There's a struggle that we have yet to win
And there's pride in my heart
'Cause I know where I'm going, yes, I do
And I know where I've been, yeah
There's a road we must travel
There's a promise we must make
But the riches will be plenty
Worth the risk and the chances that we take
There's a dream in the future
There's a struggle that we have yet to win
Use that pride in our hearts to lift us up to tomorrow
'Cause just to sit still would be a sin
I know it, I know it, I know where I'm going
Lord knows I know where I've been
Oh, when we win, I'll give thanks to my God
'Cause I know where I've been

I Love Being Here with You
Be poetic about it, alright
I love the east, I love the west
And north and south, they're both the best
But I'll only go there as a guest
'Cause I love being here with you
I love the sea, I love the shore
I love the rocks but what is more?
With you they'd never be a bore
'Cause I love being here with you
Singin' in the shower, laughin' by the hour
Life is such a breezy game
Love all kinds of weather, as long we're together
I love to hear you say my name
I like good wine and fine cuisine
And candle light, I like the scene
But baby, if you know what I mean
'Cause I love being here with you
I love being here with you
I like a dance by Fred Astaire
And Brando's eyes, Yul Brynner's hair
But I think to tell you's only fair
That I love being here with you
And Cary Grant, oh do-dah-day
His utter charm takes me away
But don't get me wrong, how do you say
I love being here with you
Oh, Basie's band's a-swingin', I like Ella singin'
'Cause there's something else, you know
They know how to say it, they know how to play it
They wind it up and let it go
I love the thrill of New York shows
I'd love to Durante's nose
But I'd like to say before I close, yeah, yeah
I just love, baby I love, well, I love being here with you

I'm Not in Love
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no, no, no, it's because
I like to see you but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you, don't make a fuss
Don't go and tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, oh, no, no, it's because
Woah, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, he'll wait a long time, yeah
I keep your picture right there on the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's been lying there, yeah, yeah
So don't you ask me, no, to give it back
I know you know it don't mean one thing to me
I'm ain't in love, no, no, no, no, it's because
Woah, you'll wait a long time for me

If I Had You
I could be glad all the while
I could turn the gray skies to blue
If I had you, baby, by my side
I could leave my old days behind
Leave all my pals and never mind
I could start my whole life anew
If I had you
I could climb a snow capped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross a burning desert
If I had you by my side
I could be a queen, dear, uncrowned
Humble or poor, rich or renowned
There is nothin' I couldn't do
If I had you, If I had you, yeah
I could climb a snowcapped mountain
Sail the mighty ocean wide
I could cross a burnin' desert
If I had you by my side

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)

When I'm sexing you, when I'm next to you, I know it's alright
It's the things you do, make me cling to you, 'cause I know it's alright

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

So it's back to the block time to play
It's just another day around the way, hey

Shoot some pool, act a fool, cause it's own tonight

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]

You know I gotta get props, I can't stop, wit out y'all

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

Just to Satify You
Someone's gonna pay for the things you do
How many hearts will break, how many will it take
Just to satisfy you, just to satisfy you?
Another love, another fool, to play your game
Another love, another fool, they're all the same
Someone's gonna get hurt before you're through
Now don't be surprised if that someone is you
You're gonna find when it's too late
A heart that just won't break just to satisfy you, oh, just to satisfy you
You're gonna find when it's too late
A heart that just won't break
Just to satisfy you, oh, just to satisfy you
What does it take to satisfy you, oh, just to satisfy you?

King and Queen Creation
[45 King]
Let's start the show off, sisters ago look alive
The Queen Latifah, the King of 45
Bringing a mixture of pure flavor
I make beats, she rock rhymes, so I gave a
A sample sound, the she added a compound
Word, this is for those who haven't heard
A King and Queen combine minds and trample
Thos who oppose us, here's an example
[Queen Latifah]
It's time to run, the King and Queen is on the set
The competition is petty and ready to step
To the first one, go ahead, rehearse one
I hope you don't know you sound like the worst one
Rhymes are smoking, concentration can't be broken
Queen Latifah's outspoken
Use your imagination, picture this
Any male or female rapper trying to diss
Here for excitement and enticement
With my competitors killed I go build with my enlightenment
Teach the youth, feed the needy
Confident decendent of Queen Nefertiti
The mother of civilization will rise
Like the cream and still build the strong foundation
Secondary but necessary to reproduce
Acknowledge the fact that I'm black and I don't lack
Queen Latifah is giving you a piece of my mind
A rhyme spoken by a feminine teacher
Rhymes I do employ, no time for slimy toys
I'm steady and stable and the label is Tommy Boy
Backed by The Unit, produced by The King
Perfection pressed with the style that we bring
For the hip-hop patients, this is a King and Queen creation
[45 King]
Technician, musical musician
I'm stating the facts, strictly non-fiction
In hip-hop, you wonder who's in trouble most
Creativity, you get a double dose
How can you stop me? No, I put you to a test
The rhymes are Romeo (The beat's a Juliet)
With topic blend, this makes me a hard one
Persevere, I'm here, gets taught one
Strength producer, I send you an ultimatum
Hardcore worldwide is how I take 'em
I rock, never hyperventilate
Others get tired, could use a commercial break
45 King, DJ Mark's my alias
It takes a ton of MC's to prevail against me
Just listen, I'm unstoppable
You want a mission? This one's impossible
Beats rock all night with no curfew
My talent's advanced, you haven't a clue
How I do it, the smoothest loopest spare it
If the style fits, I wear it
Many attempts were made, none was recognized
45 King said sample soundified
I'm going to Wonderland to check, find out who's next
You pretty good, but not quite a legend yet
Studio mixer, I got the formula
And said the man from self, I'm warning you
It's my domain, just ask my chauffer
My ride's equipped everything from a pool to a sofa
On top, it's a usual act
Can't wait to get down to 45 Studios
I'm into rap, but no urge to sing
I'm DJ Mark, 45, 45 King of Swing

Ladies First
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
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
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
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 stereotypes, they 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
My sister, can I get some?
Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb
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, I'm a 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
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"

Latifah's Had It Up 2 Here
The queen is hyped up, the queen is hyped up
Ayo Manda, what's up La
Yo people have been trying to get fierce on me
I think it's time I tell them about themselves
Yo, just give it to them safari style
Well, well, well it's L A, the T I, the F A H, you’ll see why
Q U double E N is the reason I must be myself
What else? Well, fame hasn't got me
Souped up, selling out, sloppy or poppy
There so much live for, there for here's more from a woman
All woman keep the rumors to yourself
The over blown, home grown, not known
Fools who never shown proof let alone own
A lot of props or hip hip pop chart
Notch on your clock is my spot
Now who got the marks? I do
Why you little played out a chew, bless you
I'm allergic to wack crews, the La, the ti, the fah
The queen is up, throwing salt that you never seen before
How dare those who talk we can't have them
Some make me wanna go out with the bat and a magnum
But a wise, civilized and growing higher
Judgments from the Queen punish is the fire
I here to make these fools out of liars
You must learn step and respect the sire face the fire
Latifah had it up to here the frauds felling fear, fear
The sound is playing like a Q-tip digging your ear, ear
Mama Zula stands for positivity, knowledge and grace
I never run my piece, damn, I'll take it to your face
Open why you hoping none stutter, stop 'em
Maybe choke, choke because it's very hard to breathe
While La got you in a yolk, I'll cut your throat, I'll cut it short
No one ever getting near Latifah's had it up to here
Give it to 'em Queen, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give it to 'em Queen, I got it
Give it to 'em Queen, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give it to 'em Queen, I got it
Give it to 'em Queen, yeah, yeah, yeah
Give it to 'em Queen, I got it
Give it to em Queen, yeah, yeah, yeah
The Queen L A T I F A H in command
Some of these commercial entertainers
Are commercially a pain to my mind and my behind
Try to dis Dana, bumping me off
Because the Queen has reached a certain plateau
All I do is boo and say,'Is that so?'
Talk is cheap and if talk got any cheaper
They'll be selling Nike tongues instead of sneakers
Kay sa rah sa rah, blazay blah, etcetera
This is a scene from the Queen La, La
Lovely and lyrically loose but lady like
I'm too slick to slip up or get tricked by the shady type
Chomps y'all talk and still wonder how loose I got
When I'm in town I give the boosters booster shots
Breaks breaks, face face, never never, waste waste
Your mind on a rhyme
That will get thrown in your fronting face
I'll cut your throat, I'll cut it short
No one ever getting near Latifah's had it up to here
Give it to 'em Queen, who got it?
Give it to 'em Queen Latifah
Give it to 'em Queen, who got it?
Give it to 'em Queen Latifah
Give it to 'em Queen, who got it?
Give it to 'em Queen Latifah
Give it to 'em Queen, who got it?
Queen L A T I F A H in command
Royal and loyal, face the fire, boy
You wouldn't get the time of the day
So make way, hey, silence I say
Lay low and have a cold one
Cause the whipping I'm dishing is an old one
I through some soul into my morning bowl then I rolled
I took your gold and stopped your singled
'Cause it ever never sold
Matter of fact it never even got the time to sprout
So you could never give me body or come in my house
The flavor unit is doing back again this year
How many flavors of the flavor can you love to hear
Feel the force of my holocaust, I'm staring at ya
Put in a bid on who will fall, I'm sure to match ya
Snatch ya, stature
Your broken looks more like a fracture, catch that rapper
Latifah will be back to crush ya, go buy a heart
'Cause from the start I told ya no one getting near
Latifah's had it up to here
Give it to 'em Queen, who got it?
Give it to 'em Queen Latifah
Give it to 'em Queen, who got it?
Give it to 'em Queen, the flavor unit
Give it to 'em Queen, I got it
Give it to 'em Queen, Latifah
Give it to 'em Queen, DJ A D
Give it to 'em Queen, ease off
Give it to 'em Queen

Latifah's Law
Alright listen, I'm back again cause that's what you required of
Me steady rhyming, and I'm so sick and tired of
Being forced to put suckers in their place
You make me mad enough to punch you in the face
But I'm not trying, so never sound like I don't bone to pick with you
Show and prove that you can stand on your own two
I speak the poetry, dissing those who keep on quoting me
Try to play me, cease it, you don't know me
So smile in my face, behind my back take a line or two
I'm not an idiot, so who you think you lying to?
Queen Latifah's here to lay the law down
So speed it up or shake it around because it's a showdown
The 45 King is arising, suprising, hypnotising star, he's up to par
So I hope you've prepared yourself for what you're in for
This is Latifah's Law
BMW's and gold rope chains don't impress me
Or get you closer to the point you can undress me
Get skeezed, you nose will bleed, that's how they live life
Prepare to feel the wrath of the giver of all life
Fire and desire make you go a little higher
When I grab the wire of the mic
And get hype, I'm sorry you sound dot
Cause I roll like the homicide squad
You must be broke and, hoping that I'm soft but I'm dope and
Left you in the litter to consider coping with
Life, it's trife yeah, but these things happen
You need to make it better, stop trying to be the mack again
Get a grip on the African way
Cause there's a sucker born every day
Crime's the way for you to see what the Queen saw
And this is Latifah's law
Now DJ Mark made up a beat that he can bring you
And I of course supply the rhyme that you can swing to
The Flavor Unit keeps all, and keeps a way to band
And slides keep the hardcore fall, cause I'm heavy-handed
Whip out a .45 caliber pen and begin
A funky message from beginning to end
Peace be to Africa, can't forget my other land
Won't fulfill my heart unless I speak about the motherland
You say you're living right, but we know it's nonsense
In case you forgot, just check your conscience
At showtime, I blow lines, you don't get yours, I get mine
Your showtimes, you behind, the Queen Latifah divine
Rule number one: don't step across the line that I drew
Number two: don't take credit for something that you didn't do
Number three: check your heart, every man has a call
It's time for me to go, but I'll be back, y'all

Yes you are, yes you are, baby

So if I stand accused of loving you
Then I'm guilty

So take me in and book me
(Put love in the first, put love in the first)
Now it seems you're charging me
With something I ain't tryna be
So if I take a lesser plea
Said, you can lock me up and throw away the key
So, your honor, I'm sorry
Give me love, my baby
You can throw the book at me, ooh
I'm telling you, you are my everything
Baby, you are my, my
See baby, you are everything I need
So why would I throw that away

Minolo Blahnik, Laura Biagiotti

And I wouldn't care, if you didn't wear it
'Cuz it's you that I cherish
I can't believe that you don't know
So while you bugging
You're the only girl, that I'm loving
Baby I ain't tricking no more
If you're gonna charge me, then do it
If you not, don't accuse me
Baby, I'm only guilty of loving you
See baby you are everything I need
So why would I throw that away
(Love in the first, put love in the first)
And everything I do is to show you
Just how much you mean to me

Mama Gave Birth to the Soul Children
[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)

Mercy, Mercy, Mercy
Playboy book well, I'm sorry 'bout that, Mr. Williams but she's
Got something Johnny, much greater than gold well, now
What's that? I'm crazy 'bout that girl, she's got so much soul
She's got the kind of loving, kissin' and a-huggin'
Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow
And I know that she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me 'cause she knocks me off my feet
Can you dig it?
There is no girl in the whole world
That can love me like you do ow
Tell 'em bout it, Watson
My baby now, when she walks by
All the fellows go [unverified] and I know why
Have mercy, just look at her walk
It's simply because that girl, she walks so fine
And if she ever leave me, I will lose my mind
Because she's got the kind of lovin', kissin' and a-huggin'
Sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow
And I know that she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me! 'Cause she knocks me off my feet
I'd better tell 'em one more thing
There is no girl in the whole world
That can love me like you do
Ow, tell 'em 'bout it, Mr. Williams
Now everybody in my neighborhood
An' that's what's grooving me will testify that my girl, she looks so good
Well, let me tell you something else right here
She looks so fine, she give eyesight to the blind
Help 'em to make 'em see and if she ever leave me, I will lose my mind
Because she's got the kind of lovin'
Kissin' and a-huggin' sure is mellow, glad that I'm her fellow
And I know that she knocks me off my feet
Have mercy on me 'cause she knocks me off my feet
Can you dig it?
There is no girl in the whole world
That can love me like you do

Moody's Mood for Love
Pretty baby, you are the soul who snaps my control
Such a funny thing but every time you're near me
I never can behave
You give me a smile and then I'm wrapped up in your magic
Music all around me, crazy music
Music that keeps calling me so very close to you
Turns me your slave
Come and do with me any little thing you want to
Anything baby, just let me get next to you
Am I insane or do I really see heaven in your eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you in the clear blue skies
How I worry about you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
I'm really feeling in the mood for love?
So tell me why stop to think
About this weather, my dear?
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again, oh baby
Won't you come and put our two hearts together?
That would make me strong and brave
Oh when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Go on and let it rain
I'm sure our love together will endure a hurricane
Oh my baby
Won't you please let me love you
And give a relief from this awful misery?
Oh pretty baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let us visit out there
In that new promised land
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a loving state of mind
I'm so crazy daddy
And I never knew what love's all about
James Moody, you can come on in man
And you can blow now if you want to
We're through

My Man's Girl
Heavenly complected an' you know me
I ran in her direction 'cause I had to see
If what was goin' on was really goin' on
She had almond eyes
Hair that ran down to her chocolate thighs
Had a playa shook like, “My, my, my”
Yeah, every word I tried to say
Wouldn't come out right
Baby girl had it goin' on
The way her jeans hugged her hips
Just turned me on
An' the shape of her lips, hotter than the sun
I wish that she could be the one
You used to be my man's girl
I wish that you would be my girl
No matter what people say
Girl, they won't change the way I feel
Girl, you used to be my man's girl
I wish that you could be my girl
Now tell me what I got to say
Just tell me what I got to say
Girl, you got me wanna be
Huggin' all over your body
Wonderin' how to get you down with me
Shorty, don't front 'cause I got what you want
Number one fan
Shorty, I just wanna be your man
'Cause ain't no way that we can't win
So believe it, babe, believe it, baby
Baby girl had it goin' on
The way her jeans hugged her hips
Just turned me on
An' the shape of her lips, hotter than the sun
I wish that she could be the one
You used to be my man's girl
I wish you could be my girl
No matter what people say
It really won't change the way I feel
No, no, you done been my man's girl
Baby, my girl
So baby, just tell me what I gotta do
Just tell me what I got to say
I need you, baby
Even when people try to tell you things about me
Don't believe it, baby
Ain't no limit to what we can grow to be
Can't you see it, baby?
Us against the world
That's how it's supposed to be
Girl, I need you to be with me
You used to be my man's girl
I wish that you would be my girl
No matter what people say
It won't change the way I feel
You used to be my man's girl
I wish that you were my girl
So tell me what I got to say
Just tell me what I got to say
You used to be my man's girl
I wish that you were my girl
No matter what people say
I won't change the way I feel
Girl, you used to be my man's girl
Be my girl
So tell me what I got to say
Just tell me what I got to say

My sister's girlfriend
So dope, I know I should do it
But her girlfriend
Got me 'bout twisted

No joke, so tempted to get it

'Cause on the normal, I wouldn't holla
But this girl was so dope
But my sister said no

I need to know exactly where
Your mind is
And if you're thinkin' like I'm thinkin'
'Cause I'm thinkin' like if we're alone
Just once behind closed doors
I know it really would be on
(I know you're in both friends)
Girl, I know that I want you

?? i'm 'bout to catch a charge
Bitches that think they hard get snuffed
Fuck the bodygaurd
They need to shut the fuck up, or step to me
All they can do is be mad at me
Bitch, don't threaten me
Niggas don't know i'm nice with these
You pay the price with these
Come by this pisces, your life cease
You couldn't see my if you looked at my life like mary
Your style is cheesy
How you gon' beef? you dairy
Better bewarey, cuz if it's necessary
Be shoot the joint, i'll leave you somethin' for the tooth fairy
And all you rappers sellin' more sex than skill, chill
I'll rip your style, all the while keep my sex appeal
Don't get it twisted yo, i never really favored you
And i was raised by my niggas from the flavor u
So fuck givin' props where they ain't due, fuck you
And that nigga who wrote the rhyme for you too
I got hot, when you play my spot you get laid like rugs
And you'll never be the woman that your father was
Stop flirtin' with my last nerve and head south
Next bitch say somethin' worse, goin' in your mouth
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Another bitch after my crown but i don't hate her
Cuz she couldn't come up if she was gettin' fucked in the elevator
What, you thought i wouldn't check your chin?
Though i was your fuckin' friend?
See you and speak, tonight all that shit ends
Don't act extra, where you from?
High post on low income and then some
Ready to leave your gums numb
Listenin' to you is like wack sex
A premature ejactulation
A quickie, that gets me stressed
You're doin' it but it don't thrill me
Bitch, you know you feel me
Don't get scared now, time to face the real me
I'm ready to break my foot off in your anal
Ready to bring you some pain yo
Comin' up with that playdough
Style you stole, tried to mix it up and make it blimp
Sound like lauryn, with a dash of lil' kim
We know bootleg, korean, coughin', schemin' ho
I know it's bootleg cuz they misspelled "misquito"
What's worse? your press-ons, hair or gear?
I should buy your contract, put your ass on hold for another year
You picked the wrong one, so bring your click
Now we can handle this like ladies
Or care to smoke other shit
Repeat 1
Repeat 1
Makes ya feel like rappers be on some bandwagon shit
But i gets boogie, quick fix with lyrics
>from toastin' too many spirits
Fuck all these cheesy bum bitches fakin' these riches
Niggas representin' for these real live niggas, '96
What the deal? chicks pimpin' they sex appeal
How you feel? (stupid!)
Got the still now, dead up in your grill
Bout to go up in your raw, so you industry whore
Never saw the lights before, now you model and floss
Overload your hold on piece, when i rock shit like this
You can't flip, cuz ? be gettin' twisted (what?)
All that high shit that you be smokin' got you buggin'
Think that you could step to my crew?
We be nut smugglin'
Turnin' rough niggas and the bitch is like "what?"

Nuff' of the Ruff' Stuff
I told you before you burn when you play with fire
So take off your hats, matter of fact hail the new Sire
You're hungry as hell, so I'm cookin' up the chowder
It's laced with ingredients, gon' come on like gunpowder
Pom-pom, lick a shot, then I got the order
I'm runnin' for the border for causin' disorder
Pom-pom, lick a shot, got on my defenses
I'm runnin' for the fences, of course I'm relentless
The particular name of this Queen is Latifah
I've often been classified as a feminine teacher
Collectively capture the heart of a nation
Love my culture and show appreciation
You're lookin' for the black influ'? I do want too give it to you
What are you mad? Give me some of what you had
You can huff-huff, puff-puff and bluff-bluff
But I got nuff' of the ruff stuff
Ruff and tuff
Ruff and tuff
Ruff and tuff
And all that stuff
Now nuff of the ruff stuff, that's what I do, and I do it well
The proof is in the puddin', I show and prove, not show and tell
Talk tales, you get caught up in a crossfire
Buckshot must be what you want and desire
I write concepts, I don't be frontin' or be buggin'
I solely write the rhymes for the beats that you be lovin'
It's a love thang, the Queen doin' her thang
If I was a liquid, you would drink me like Tang
You think I'm kickin' things that I myself don't even heed?
I rap not for the love of music, but for greed?
"Latifah's booty, yo, she could never succeed"
Shit
You watch me do it and boom it, the Flavor Unit will snap necks
You a-fi listen a likkle, you fi go buy the cassette
You're starvin', 'cause you ain't had enough
That's right, nuff' of the ruff stuff
Ruff and tuff
Ruff and tuff
Ruff and tuff
And all that stuff
You talk about flavor, I got enough flavor to make a grapefruit sweet
Get old ladies jumpin' out of their seats
Change a peach to a pear to a plum with a little sun 'n rays
I got flavor for days
Now I'm the type that the fellas call a honey, and
From me you know you get a worth for your money, and
This is no meaningless attack, I gave you a chance
Matter of fact, yo, I ordered them to dance for me
They tried to turn me 'Inside Out'
They felt the 'Wrath Of My Madness', I let them 'Come Into My House'
It's called 'Latifah's Law', for the criminal to curse
And all the gentlemen know its rule, 'Ladies First'
Not the typical female that tends to
Fall victim to the 'Evil That Men Do'
Small puff, I call your bluff
I'm not mad, I just had nuff' of the ruff stuff
Ruff and tuff
Ruff and tuff
Ruff and tuff
And all that stuff
Everybody know Latifah love positivity
Now positivity erase negativity
Mi comin' inna di dance [Incomprehensible]
Me rollin' with the Flavor Unit posse
As a black woman mi want equality
Equality, and di freedom to be me
Mi have a mother Rita, only call her Mommy
Likkle brother and sister, Angelo and Kelly
A brother in them laws, but mi call him Winki
Lost mi daddy and you're our family
[Incomprehensible] black [Incomprehensible] black country
Believe in one God, one tribe, one destiny, cease

Princess of the Posse
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
They 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
Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool one
She rhyme American, she rap Jamaican
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 this proceeding of greeting
Or would you rather progress onto a higher plateau?
Truely I'm taking it slow
Enough for you to seek 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 alive 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
Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool one
She rhyme American, she rap Jamaican
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
'Cause you're dependent on me, the princess of the posse
Yo, 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
Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool one
She rhyme American, she rap Jamaican
Princess of the Posse, me say she a cool girl
She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world
Latifah 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
Latifah 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

Queen Latifah, Lil' Kim & Macy Gray - Cell Block Tango (He Had It Comin')
[Intro: Queen Latifah]
Dana Owens aka Queen Latifah, yes I'm here to testify
No, I gotta speak on my behalf, you don't even know
what happened
Can I just tell you what happened?
[Chorus: Macy] (Latifah)
He had it comin' (He had it comin')
He only had himself to blame
If you'd a been there, if you'd a seen it
I think that you would have done the same
[Verse 1: Queen Latifah] (Macy)
I mean imagine, why was he hittin' his woman?
Why was she takin' that?
Now picture her fightin' back, picture the ass kickin'
Think of his ass flippin' down the stairs
And me at the top smilin', he shoulda stopped wildin'
Now could you picture me tryin' to finish him off?
See why I pictured me on this side of the law
High heels leave holes, you'd a thought I was gunnin'
Now the cops comin', I ain't runnin'
(He had it comin')
Girl you shoulda seen it, shoulda bobbed and weaved
Before the cops came, got a coupla clean hits
In word the ??? couldn't take the abuse
But I couldn't explain that to the state troops
But you know girl, yeah you go girl
Plus I look real cute in orange jump suits
This the story I'm tellin' and I ain't changin' nothin'
I just needed you to know Your Honour
[Chorus] - 2X
[Verse 2: Lil' Kim] (Macy)
Aiight aiight, let's get this over with
Take the mug shot, hurry up the fingerprints
What the blood clot?
Lil' Kim aka Sofia Luchiani
Keep your jump suit, I'm rockin' Armani
Yeah, I bust at him once, but that was just a warnin'
My lawyer will be here with bail money in the mornin'
I'm not guilty, just tryin' to protect mine
It ain't my fault he ran into my knife 20 times (He had it comin')
Just my luck the bastard ain't die
What you woulda did if every other day he blacked ya eye?
Broke ya nose 'til it started bleedin'
Kicked you in ya ribs, chocked you 'til you stopped breathing
(Fuck) that, I'm sick of bobbing and weaving
Threatenin' to kill me when I threaten to leave him
I do a bid, 'cause ain't no way
(Nigga) gonna do me like Ike and OJ
[Chorus] - 2X
[Verse 3: Queen Latifah]
This is for the constantly accused, mentally abused
How many of you been in my shoes before, aiight
Or have you felt you caught the worse case
Puttin' up wit his tired ass in the first place
Why am I flippin'? I just bought them condoms
I ain't used not one but there was two missin'
Get a new mission, how to catch a cheater
If he only use coach, you shouldn't smell ???
If you know he don't smoke, you shouldn't smell reefer
If you catch him cheatin' you shouldn't yell either
Run up on him quietly, took him out silently
It might sound cruel, but you gotta love the irony
So explain that, just came back off a trip
And I come home to this, please
He ain't followed the guidelines
So forgive me Your Honour, he ran into my knife five times
[Chorus] - 3X

Queen Latifah, Taye Diggs - When You're Good to Mama
[MATRON]
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
They'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen
I love 'em 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.
There's a lot of favors
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 ragout
Spice it up for Mama
She'll get hot for you
When they pass that basket
Folk contribut to
You out in for Mama
She'll put out for you
The folks atop the ladder
Are the ones the world adores
So boost me up my ladder, Kid
And I'll boost you up yours
Let's all stroke together
Like the Princeton crew
When you're strokin' Mama
Mama's strokin' you
So what's the one conclusion
I can bring this number to?
When you're good to Mama
Mama's good to you!

Queen of Royal Badness
Let me remind you on how to unwind your body
So dance and shake and just keep in step
Understand, draw a clear picture
What I'm gonna hit you with is truly def
These are the words of a Queen of a Queendom
All competitors, I simply cream them
One by one, I dust a rush them all
If you have any more, bring them
To the front so they can sho me what they got
What they got, it better be hot
Cause if it's not, I'll simply knock them out the box
And they'll be put in a spot
The style I use will surely amuse
The party people to a state of gladness
What I mean is I'm on the scene
I'm the Queen of Royal Badness
Well it's the Lah, T-I-F-A-H
While I say my rhyme, Mark creates
The direct hi-tech sound of the dope noise
The bass will pound, I hope girls, I hope boys
Understand what I'm quoting, I'm not joking
Or freaking, this is a Queen speaking
Wis words, when I'm done I leave your eyes blurred
When you address me, address me as "Your Highness"
One of hip-hop's finest
You see, I can flow on tempo, off tempo
It makes me no difference
So play that beat, play it, kick it, watch me
Flip it, with dope lyrics, you want to hear it?
Observe my ways and actions, I grab the mic
And draw attractions
To the table, I'm a hit you at all angles
Those who think I caught a fit, I strangled them
The result with a pen and a pad
Gets mean, see I'm the Queen of Royal Badness
I can't wait until the party is jam-packed
When I start to drop it, the people say "Damn, black"
The queen is hyped up, awesome and deadly
If you don't dance, grab a chair and plex, B
Composure's kept, blows are thrown in death, hard as hell
Guard as well as you can or step
Off the premisis, in one minute it's
Going to explode in a style that's limitless
Make your first move, don't let it be your worst move
Cause if you do, you'll be a hurt fool
Keep your mouth shut to those that shout and cuss
It's no doubt that I got clout and I'll bust
Literature that flows like liquid
Some can't comprehend the way I kicked it
So don't say nothing
Just listen up, follow instructions
Rhyme, shake, slide, and dance like Lat said
When I'm on stage I sold rage and drop heads
Ambidextrous, skilled with both hands
Teaching a lesson, ready to throw jams
Latifah loves to rip up the scenery
It's nothing special, just a Queen to me
So do the knowledge, see if you can catch this
You know what I mean, it's the Queen of Royal Badness

Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars
Floating on the silence that surrounds us
Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams, quiet walks by quiet streams
Climbing hills where lovers go to watch the world below together
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull, each minute, until I found you in it
And all at once, the happiness I knew
Became these quiet nights of loving you
We will live eternally in this mood of reverie
Away from all the earthly cares around us
My world was dull, each minute, until I found you in it
And all at once, the happiness I knew
Became these quiet nights of loving you

Rain Will Go Away
Ohh, ohh
Na, na, na, na, na
Now that we called it quits
I can't cease to remember the things I missed
Two years ago I wouldn't have dreamed we'd end like this
Too young to understand what love is
I wish I could've stayed another day
But in the end things simply weren't the same
I thought some day that you might share my name
We grew apart, I know it broke your heart but the rain
Rain will go away
(Rain will go away)
I pray you find someone to take my place
(You will find love someday)
Clouds will go away
(Clouds will go away)
And the sun and the moon and the stars will shine again
(Sun will shine again)
Darling, yeah
When it began we were such best friends
Life was such a fairy tale, intense
Together we drank to lose our innocence
Gave in to each other, we were heaven sent
Now all in all I really can't complain
Though the memories that linger often bring me pain
I found in life you have to lose to gain
But never fear, you will love again
Rain will go away
(Rain will go away)
I pray you find someone to take my place
(You will find love someday)
Clouds will go away
(Clouds will go away)
And the sun and the moon and the stars will shine again
(Sun will shine again)
Everything has its season
But I cry sometimes for no reason
You were my first love
And I hope that you find what you dream of
Rain will go away
(Rain will go away)
I pray you find someone to take my place
(You will find love someday)
Clouds will go away
(Clouds will go away)
And the sun and the moon and the stars will shine again
(Sun will shine again)
I cry sometimes, I don't know why
You'll find somebody, baby
Somebody for you
Yes, you will, ohh
I'm sorry, baby
Rain will go away
You'll find love someday
Clouds will go away
Sun will shine again

Reign [Morgan Geist Delayed Gratification Mix]
I am the reign, reigner, reigner, reign all day
I am the reign, I'm gonna reign this way again
I am the reign
I am the spark, before the blaze
(Before the blaze)
I am the raindrop out at sea, I cause the ripples
That become the crashing waves
(Crashing waves)
I am the reign
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all
I am the reign
I'm gonna reign this way again
(Reign this way again)
I am the reign, reigner, reigner, reign all day
(Reign all day)
You thought a different day had come
A day you thought the earth was done, I am the reign
And if you could have said it all
I know you would have said it all, I am the reign

Savage Earth Heart / Satifaction
Live version recorded on 11 april 1986, sinead was doing the backing
Vocals on this song which included a piece of satisfaction from
The rolling stones.
Ooh!
...let me see the savage
I want to see the savage
Coming crashing through your face
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through
I wan be a witness
Send you respect into your ear that i'll be back
Trust in the shadows
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through!
Will you lay all of your deepest wildest secrets bare?
Will you let all of those rumbling old gods take rage?
I want to be there
When the savage comes
I want to be there
When the savage comes
When your savage earth heart
Cuts through!
Then i was taken smoothly by the vulture of the soul
That hideous strength
That numbs my tongue
And he led me like a born sinner
Through the fields of hell
To doubt my friends and to hate myself
But when the savage earth heart
...cuts through
When my savage earth heart
...cuts through
Then my savage earth heart
...cuts through!
And the culture of the soul laid waste.
The hate, the hate, the hate, the hate, the hate
I can't get any satisfaction
I can't get any satisfaction
When i'm driving in my car
And a man comes on the radio
He's telling me more and more
About some useless information
Supposed to drive my imagination
But he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
Six cigarettes, six cigarettes
Six cigarettes, six cigarettes
I can't get no
I can't get any satisfaction
I can't get any satisfaction
When i'm driving around the world
And i'm trying to please some girl
Saying baby baby come back
Maybe next week
'cause you see i'm on a losers street
I can't get no
I can't get any satisfaction
No satisfaction
No satisfaction
No satisfaction

Set It Off
Has it gone? Do we search or move on?
Hear the wind as it blows
And my heart says the next time I'll know
Set it off, I suggest y'all
Set it off, I suggest y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set it off on the left y'all
Set it off on the right y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Holding on, friends around
All together searching for a way out
When it's time, will we know?
Or will life grant us no second try?
Set it off, I suggest y'all
Set it off, I suggest y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set it off on the left y'all
Set it off on the right y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Now it's too late to work it out
I'm in too deep to just pull out
There ain't no way I'll turn away
Nothing to do but set it off
Set it off, I suggest y'all
Set it off, I suggest y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Set it off on the left y'all
Set it off on the right y'all
Set it off
Come on now, set it off
Me hear police, them a chat about me just one time
Me live the life, love money, that's two crimes
What will be my destiny? Hey, hey
Me say silly of me to think that I could
Ever get away with crime
What will I do? Hey
When they come for you, check it
I got nowhere to go, nothin' to lose, I'm lost
Who rotton but Cleo, hot like ultra reels
Wit' my back to the wall, I put my gat to not dog
Replace your playa's ball with a number one ball
Situations up in here got me capable of sinnin'
You grinnin'? Watch me speed stick ya like Mennin
Lettin' it off, settin' it off, then beginning
Pinnin' these ill rhymes, representin' ill women, set it
Set it off, I suggest y'all

The Pros
I stepped into a basement party in Brooklyn
The brothers was looking as soon as I put a foot in
A female walked up to me and said, "Latifah bust a line"
I don't think you're on the strength, show me the time
I said, "If you really want to do this, we can do this, fine
Take six paces and begin to rhyme"
As soon as she attempted to make a sound
I ate her up with the verb, broke her down with the noun
'Cause I hate it when someone challenges with me
But cannot balance with me
I get annoyed when they can't go blow for blow
I get pissed when I hear the lyrics a sucker brings
Ha ha, I was thinking the same thing
Well, I was approached by a whole damn group of them
Rhyme fiends, biters, and bums
Took me kind of light, said they wanted to fight
I kinda got uptight, you didn't do what I think you did? Yeah, right
Bash, went the first, smash, went the next one
What about the third, he started, he started to run
But to his surprise, his feet must have slipped
'Cause I snapped that neck before the second step
You see you may speculate, but everybody knows
Not one amateur can deal with the pros
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
There was a time that a man could go
Anyplace, anywhere without a Rambo
But now me have to keep me pistol loaded with rhyme
Have to deal with bad breath biters that step out of line
So when they make a move them surely get a taste of it
I'm Daddy-O and I don't quit
So feel the flow, y'all, because you're under attack
From my rhymes, 'cause I'm writing swift rhymes in stacks
And four words to the wack, just stay the hell back
'Cause it's a fact if you're wack you ain't saying Jack
So we can go rhyme for rhyme if you wish
But eating you suckers is my favorite dish
And I warned you suckers if you messed with me
You'll be the next ingredient in my recipe
Start and don't finish, I'll hunt you down
And you can't run forever, so you'll be found
And with nowhere to run, and nowhere to hide
How you wanna be eaten, boy, baked or fried?
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
It's Latifah the Queen, pioneer of the mainstream
I flow just like a pro 'cause it's the same thing
Suckers have to realize how foolish they sound
So button your lips and stop trying to be down
I caught you out there, how many times? A lot of times
'Cause when it comes to mine, you know I gotta rhyme
Stepping to the right, to the left
To the best place, well I have to face
A sucker like a pooh-butt, weak and soft
Riding my bra strap trying to get off
Understand and know, that if you want to go
You'd better be ready to flow 'cause I'm a pro
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
We wax floors with bums, make mocks out of some
Sting 'em hard, and watch them complain how it stung
Kidnap the babysitter, lock 'em inside a box
Daddy-O and the true blue queen of rock
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"
These are the pros
Coming now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bo bo bo bo"

The Same Love That Made Me Laugh
I'm the one you can't breathe without, remember
Why you wanna make me cry like this?
Why would you wanna make me cry, why me?
Your love is like a chunk of gold
It's hard to gain and hard to hold
Like a rose that's soft to touch
Love has gone and it hurts so much
Well then why?
Must the same love that made me laugh
Make me cry?
Well now you think of a love as sittin' on a mountain
Think about it bein' a great big rock
Won't you think before you started to rolling down
'Cause once you start it you can't make it stop
I've given all I have to give
And if you don't want me baby
I don't want to live
Well then why, oh why?
Must the same love that made me laugh
Gonna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Baby why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me cry?
Why you wanna make me lay in my pillow
I'm just cryin' like a weeping willow
Tell me why, oh why, oh why?
Why you wanna come home and make your lady cry?
Oh no you used to be so soft and sweet to me
And now you act so wrong with me to me
And now you get so wrong with me, with me
Why, oh why, oh why?
Ohh why you wanna make me lay in my pillow?
And got me cryin' like a weepin' willow there
Wanna make me cry oh why, oh why?
Why, why, why, why?
Why, oh why, oh why?
Why, oh why, oh why?
Why, oh why, oh why?

Trav'lin' Light
Because my man has gone
But from now on
I'm trav'lin' light
He said, "Goodbye"
And took my heart away
So from today
I'm trav'lin' light
No one to see
I'm free as the breeze
No one but me
And my memories
Some lucky night
He may come back again
But until then
I'm trav'lin' light
No one to see
I'm free as the breeze
No one but me
And my memories
Some lucky night
He may, he may come back again
But until then
I'm trav'lin' light

Turn You On
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I can see it in your eyes
You wanna get down with Queen La
Lace Latifa, I can see ya eyes on my body parts
The friendship's slippin' 'coz it ain't me you hittin'
Why you trippin'?
Wishin' you could get a taste from the black Queen
It captivates the mass when I slide on the scene, yo
We ain't gettin' down like that
You took a hug to the next level, try to spit that
Counterfeit, nice shit put on the act trick
Try to get a quick kiss and you got snapped quick
I tried to be nice and play it all smooth
Well I guess done has somethin' to prove
So I had to move, getaway like a fugitive
Didn't wanna do the kid 'coz I knew the kid
Didn't really wanna do no harm
I don't know what I did but I didn't mean to turn you on
I took you out, I was only tryin' to be nice
Let you touch it once or twice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
All the ladies in the place know how it go
When you show a lil' kindness, cats wanna flow
Want some mo' neck shit, some mo' sex shit
Well, you tell 'em from the door, it's strictly friendship
Didn't mean to turn you on
Why apologize? I ain't do nothin' wrong
You knew what the deal was, what the real was
You was confused with the levels of love
I seen you in the club with your eyes on me
All night lookin' asinine, up under the strobe light
More thin ice, there's still [Incomprehensible]
When it break through I don't think we could be friends
If you sayin' you a playa, baby, live like one
You play yourself like a bomb, never gettin' none
And say beggin' for some and never get it
If I turned you on, I guess you gotta live with it
I took you out, I was only tryin' to be nice
Let you touch it once or twice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
I didn't mean to turn you on
So what you mad now, got a attitude now
'Coz I had to pull your foul?
Frontin' big Willie style when you're a major joke
Pagin' me so much till my pager smoked
Got your Eskimo kiss and shit
Your nose's too brown, how you get chicks to trip
Well I ain't the one, I could buy you and your whip
Hold your head 'coz I've got so many hits, what?
I took you out, I was only tryin' to be nice
Let you touch it once or twice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
And I took you out
I was only tryin' to be nice
Let you touch it once or twice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on
And I took you out
I was only tryin' to be nice
Let you touch it once or twice
Oh, I didn't mean to turn you on

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
Instinct leads me to another flow
Everytime I hear a brother call a girl a bitch or a hoe
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 me 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
I punched him dead in his eye and said, "Who you calling a bitch?"
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y., that's a unity
U.N.I.T.Y., love a black woman from infinity to infinity
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
I hit the bottom, there ain't nowhere else to go but up
Bad days at work, give 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 that 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 to see my kids 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 wait and see, who you calling a bitch?
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
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y., that's a unity
U.N.I.T.Y., love a black woman from infinity to infinity
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
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?
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
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y.
U.N.I.T.Y., love a black woman from infinity to infinity

Weekend Love
Watch this
Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love
If you've been misled by anything I said
Didn't mean to turn you on, but the vibe was oh, so strong
And you got things to do when I have got things too
So I'll catch you on the weekend
Mondays to Fridays, I don't see you then
A WEEK and a END
And a LOVE we were meant to be
A WEEK, a END
LOVE, we were meant to be
Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love
Seems it's been so long
Since you thrilled me with your charms
I tenderly imagine me resting in your arms
You've got things to do when I have got things too
So I'll catch you on the weekend
Mondays to Fridays, I don't see you then
Because we're sorry when we part and we love when we meet
I know we only do that only once in a week
Sorry when we part and we love when we meet
I know we only do that only once in a week
I know, you know, we all occupied
From our own love life things has been denied
Many feelin's hide, many tears I've cried
But by the weekend let my spirit divide
Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love
If you've been misled by anything I've said
I didn't mean to turn you on but the vibe was oh, so strong
And you've got things to do when I have got things too
So I'll catch you on the weekend
Mondays to Fridays, I don't see you then
A WEEK and a END
LOVE we were meant to be
A WEEK, a END
LOVE we were meant to be
When we are absent, that is a plus 100 percent
To nourish and cherish every moment
To deliver the goods I am efficient
And I know you're possessed with the ingredients
During the week the days seems to be long
But on the weekend I wish I could reverse it's time
Great things can come in a small bag
So let's make use of the time that we have
When we are together 'cause we stay popular
If we never miss a second of the hour
When we are together I sit and I wonder
If this love is gonna last forever?
Well, then I think and I start remember
That we are a judge star

What Love Has Joined Together
Or the dry from sand
Than for anyone to try to separate us
Or stop us from holding hands
'Cause I love you
(I love you)
Oh, I love you from the bottom of my heart
And what love has joined together
What love has joined together
Can't nobody take it apart
It would be easier to take the cold from snow
Or the heat from fire
Than for anyone to take my love from you, baby
'Cause you're my heart's desire
I really love you
(I love you)
I love you from the bottom of my heart
And what love has joined together
What love has joined together
What love has joined together
Can't nobody take it apart
Even if they separate us
A thousand miles apart
We will still be together
In each other's hearts
It would be easier to change
All the seasons of the year
Than for anyone to change
The way I feel about you, oh, I love you dear
I really love you
(I love you)
Oh, baby, I love you from the bottom of my heart
Love has joined together
What love has joined together
What love has joined together
Can't nobody take it apart, baby
What love has joined together
What love has joined together
What love has joined together
What love has joined together
What love has joined together
What love has joined together
What love has joined together

When You're Good To Mama
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

Who's Loving Her Now
This is how I feel, baby
Check it
She was the kind of girl that I wanted
She was like my homie, my best friend
If there was one girl perfect in this world
It would have to be her
She was the kind of girl that I needed
She was off the chain and I mean it
I swear that she was too good to be true
She love the ground I walked on
In her eyes I could do no wrong to her
But somewhere along the lines started feelin' myself
And I got all new to her
But then one day I went too far and didn't check myself
And I ended up losin' her
But now I'm all by myself and can't help myself
Wonderin' who's lovin' her
Who's lovin' her now
Is he treatin' her right, is he keepin' her satisfied?
Who's touchin' her now
Is he givin' her somethin' she can feel?
Oh, I wanna know who's lovin' her now
Holdin' it down, turnin' her world all around?
Who gettin' what I've been missin'
Who's givin' her what I wasn't givin'?
Now I always said real niggas don't trip
So I hopped in my whip and jumped on the strip
'Cuz I knew if I really needed someone
The girls are linin' up, I pick three and I go home
But no matter how many I love
I can't help but wonder if
My girl's alone can somebody tell me?
Who's lovin' her now
Is he treatin' her right, is he keepin' her satisfied?
Who's touchin' her now
Is he givin' her somethin' she can feel?
I wonder who's lovin' her now
Holdin' it down, turnin' her world all around?
Who gettin' what I've been missin'
Who's givin' her what I wasn't givin'?
I was a player and that's how I was livin', yeah
I know I was out there trickin', babe, taking but never givin', lady
So many girls would come and go
But no one would ever come close to her, nobody compares
Ran into her sister the other day
She said she moved out to L.A. to start again
Said that she was doin' fine, everything was alright
Since she got away from me
Now she was doin' better
And better than ever and never would she come back
I said, “Yeah, yeah I learned my lesson
But will you please answer one question”
Who's lovin' her now
Is he treatin' her right, is he keepin' her satisfied?
Who's touchin' her now
Is he givin' her somethin' she can feel?
I wonder who's lovin' her now
Holdin' it down, turnin' her world all around?
Who gettin' what I've been missin'
Who's givin' her what I wasn't givin'?
Who's loving her now
Is he treatin' her right, is he keepin' her satisfied?
Who's touchin' her now
Is he givin' her somethin' she can feel?
I wonder who's lovin' her now
Holdin' it down, turnin' her world all around
Who gettin' what I've been missin'
Who's givin' her what I wasn't givin'
Who's lovin' her now
Who's touchin' her now
I wonder who's lovin' her now
Holdin' it down, turning her world all around
Who's gettin' what I've been missin'
Who's givin' her what I wasn't givin'
Who's lovin' her now
Is he treatin' her right, is he keepin' her satisfied?
Who's touchin' her now
Is he givin' her somethin' she can feel?
I wonder who's lovin' her now
Holdin' it down, turnin' her world all around

Without U
You told me that your mamma was taking you away
Daddy put her through some drama, tears came to my eyes
Really didn't wanna cry, but it hurt so bad on the inside
Tell me how can this be that you're not here with me
And I can't do nothin' 'bout it, I'm only nineteen
Since the day you left me lonely
My life hasn't been the same
Nothin' but cloudy days
(Without you)
My sunshine turned to rain
(Without you)
My life is not the same
(Without you)
Just heartache and pain
(Without you)
Everything I do
(Is for you)
And every word I say
(Is true)
My mission on this Earth is to please you
Anything you say I'll do, can't live without you
Now you're in another state, I'm writing you this letter
With a picture in a frame, lying on the dresser
Baby, come home to me, it's your arms that I need
Need your kissin' and your huggin', rubbin' and your touchin'
Girl, I need your lovin', 'cuz my body's callin' you
Nothin' but cloudy days
(Without you)
My sunshine turned to rain
(Without you)
My life is not the same
(Without you)
Just heartache and pain
(Without you)
Everything I do
(Is for you)
And every word I say
(Is true)
My mission on this Earth is to please you
Anything you say I'll do, can't live without you
I'm talkin' 'bout your warm embrace
I'm talkin' 'bout your pretty face
Oh, how your kisses taste
(How your kisses taste)
Missin' her touch
I'm talkin' 'bout my baby girl
She used to be my whole world
But now she's not here, what am I to do
Nothin but cloudy days
(Without you)
My sunshine turned to rain
(Without you)
My life is not the same
(Without you)
Just heartache and pain
(Without you)
Everything I do
(Is for you)
And every word I say
(Is true)
My mission on this Earth is to be with you
Tell me what am I to do
I remember that day
You told me that your mamma was taking you away
That he put her through some drama
Tears came to my eyes, really didn't wanna cry
Sing it again, sing it again
I remember that day
You told me that your mamma was taking you away
That he put her through some drama
Tears came to my eyes, really didn't wanna cry
Nothin' but cloudy days
(Without you)
My sunshine turned to rain
(Without you)
My life is not the same
(Without you)
Just heartache and pain
(Without you)
Everything I do
(Is for you)
And every word I say
(Is true)
My mission on this Earth is to please you
Anything you say I'll do, can't live without you

Wrath of My Madness
The R.E. posse said, "Yo Latifah we can do this"
So I paused in the thought and in my brilliance 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 coolin' teaching those needing schoolin'
The mic, this mic in my hand, I'm rulin'
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
Cost of living getting higher
'Cause them to rhyme our way
Queen Latifah getting higher
'Cause her to rhyme our way
Some MC's have gold and African vein
And using each other to compete with
Their subjects I pity because their rhymes 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 my fault 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 eye winks
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
Cost of living getting higher
'Cause them to rhyme our way
Queen Latifah getting higher
'Cause her to rhyme our way
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 button flies 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
Cost of living getting higher
'Cause them to rhyme our way
Queen Latifah getting higher
'Cause her to rhyme our way
The 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 bra strap, 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 glutenous 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
Cost of living getting higher
'Cause them to rhyme our way
Queen Latifah getting higher
'Cause her to rhyme our way
Cost of living getting higher
'Cause them to rhyme our way
Queen Latifah getting higher
'Cause her to rhyme our way

you're beatiful
My love is pure.
I saw an angel.
Of that I'm sure.
She smiled at me on the subway.
She was with another man.
But I won't lose no sleep on that,
'Cause I've got a plan.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
Yeah, she caught my eye,
As we walked on by.
She could see from my face that I was,
Fuking high,
And I don't think that I'll see her again,
But we shared a moment that will last till the end.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
I saw you face in a crowded place,
And I don't know what to do,
'Cause I'll never be with you.
You're beautiful. You're beautiful.
You're beautiful, it's true.
There must be an angel with a smile on her face,
When she thought up that I should be with you.
But it's time to face the truth,
I will never be with you.
