Queen Latifah Featuring Monie Love - Ladies First Featuring Monie Love lyrics
rate meOoh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
<br />
Funky<br />
Funky<br />
<br />
The ladies will kick it, the rhyme that is wicked<br />
Those that don't know how to be pros get evicted<br />
A woman can bear you, break you, take you<br />
Now it's time to rhyme, can you relate to<br />
A sister dope enough to make you holler and scream<br />
<br />
Ayo, let me take it from here, Queen<br />
Excuse me but I think I'm about do<br />
To get into precisely what I am about to do<br />
I'm conversating to the folks who have no whatsoever clue<br />
So listen very carefully as I break it down for you<br />
<br />
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, hyper, happy, overjoyed<br />
Pleased with all the beats and rhymes my sisters have employed<br />
Slick and smooth throwing down the sound, totally a yes<br />
Let me state the position, ladies first, yes?<br />
(Yes)<br />
<br />
Yeah, there's going to be some changes in here<br />
<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
<br />
Believe me when I say being a woman is great, you see<br />
I know that all the fellas out there will agree with me<br />
Not the being one but the being with one<br />
Because when it's time for loving it's the woman that gets some<br />
<br />
Strong, stepping, strutting, moving on<br />
Rhyming, cutting and not forgetting<br />
We are the ones that give birth<br />
To the new generation of prophets because it's ladies first<br />
<br />
I break into a lyrical freestyle<br />
Grab the mic, look at the crowd and see smiles<br />
'Cause they see a woman standing up on her own two<br />
Sloppy slouching is something I won't do<br />
<br />
Some think that we can't flow<br />
(Can't flow)<br />
Stereotypes, they got to go<br />
(Got to go)<br />
I'm a mess around and flip the scene into reverse<br />
(With what?)<br />
With a little touch of 'Ladies First'<br />
<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
<br />
Yeah, there's going to be some changes made here<br />
<br />
Who said that the ladies couldn't make it, you must be blind<br />
If you don't believe, well here, listen to this rhyme<br />
Ladies first, there's no time to rehearse<br />
I'm divine and my mind expands throughout the universe<br />
A female rapper with the message to send the<br />
Queen Latifah is a perfect specimen<br />
<br />
My sister, can I get some?<br />
Sure Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb<br />
<br />
Yo, praise me not for simply being what I am<br />
Born in L O N D O N and sound American<br />
You dig exactly where I'm coming from<br />
You want righteous rhyming, Imma give you some<br />
<br />
To enable you to aid yourself and get paid<br />
And the material that has no meaning I wish to slay<br />
Pay me every bit of your attention<br />
Like mother, like daughter, I would also like to mention<br />
<br />
I wish for you to bring me to, bring me to the rhythm<br />
Of which is now systematically given<br />
Desperately stressing I'm the daughter of a sister<br />
Who's the mother of a brother, who's the brother of another<br />
<br />
Plus one more, all four Have a job to do, we doing it<br />
Respect, due to the mother who's the root of it<br />
And next up is me, the M O N I E L O V E<br />
And I'm first 'cause I'm a L A D I E<br />
<br />
Contact and in fact, the style, it gets harder<br />
Cooling on the scene with my European partner<br />
Laying down track after track, waiting for the climax<br />
When I get there, that's when I tax<br />
<br />
The next man, or the next woman<br />
It doesn't make a difference, keep the competition coming<br />
And I'll recite the chapter in verse<br />
The title of this recital is 'Ladies First'<br />
<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
Ooh, ladies first, ladies first<br />
<br />
Step out into the night<br />
Queens of civilization are on the mic<br />
The scene is right, the crowd is hype<br />
I expel the wack and those who bite<br />
<br />
Why, 'cause I'm that type<br />
Swaying with beats 45 king style<br />
He wants me to sing but I swing, so meanwhile<br />
A footnote for the opposite sex<br />
<br />
Monie ripped the mic, I rocked it next<br />
Plex, you never catch me at my worst<br />
You get the drift? It's ladies first
