Queen Latifah
"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
