QUEEN LATIFAH

QUEEN LATIFAH - Ladies First (Radio Edit) (featuring Monie Love) lyrics

rate me

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

(Funky)<br />

(Funky)<br />

[Queen Latifah]<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 />

[Monie Love]<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 />

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? (Yes)<br />

(Yeah, there's going to be some changes in here)<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

[Monie Love]<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 />

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 />

[Queen Latifah]<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 />

Some think that we can't flow (can't flow)<br />

Stereotypes, they got to go (got to go)<br />

I'm a mess around and flip the scene into reverse<br />

(With what?) With a little touch of "Ladies First"<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

(Yeah, there's going to be some changes made here)<br />

[Queen Latifah]<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 />

[Monie Love]<br />

My sister, can I get some?<br />

[Queen Latifah]<br />

Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb<br />

[Monie Lovie]<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 />

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 />

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 />

Plus one more; all four<br />

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 />

[Queen Latifah]<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 />

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 />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first<br />

[Queen Latifah]<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 />

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 />

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
