 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
brillance 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
[Latifah: rasta chorus]
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
[Latifah: rasta chorus]
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 buttonflies 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
[More rasta singing]
I 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 brastrap, 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 gluteous
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
[Extended ragga outro]
