My mellow Latee was kicking flavor
The R.E. posse said, "Yo Latifah we can do this"
So I paused in the thought and in my 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
Don't make me wait
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 a...
Dane, dance
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 ...

[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...
Uh huh, well the name is latifah, you hear me coming through
The spreaker. hit it mark, 45 king
I am a bill, yes I'm only a bill when
It's time to ill I get ill and time to chill
I chill, my homeboy said this was the d.a.i.s.y. age
I take it as meaning you have to get crazy paid
You hope I'm from your borough, because I'm thorough
You want me to be down with you, to be seen walking around with...
[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

It's time to run, the king and queen is on the...
[Queen Latifah]
The ladies will kick it, the rhyme that is wicked
Those that don't know how to be pros get evicted
A woman can bear you, break you, take you
Now it's time to rhyme, can you relate to
A sister dope enough to make you holler and scream
[Monie Love]
Ayo, let me take it from here, Queen...
Excuse me but I think I'm about do
To get into precisely what I am about to do
I'm conversati...
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 ceas...
Basslines affect me when my rhymes direct me
Forgive the crowds, O Lord, they know not why they sweat me
Biting's against the law in the place that I live
So I lock up the door with the keys to my crib
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 h...

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...
[Incomprehensible]
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, brok...
