[Verse 1: Lateef]
Lady don't take no shit, insist on respect
The sister walk around like a woman, and
She won't speak less it's something worth saying
Don't play, the girl take herself so seriously
People stare curiously
She got a natural way, her hips sway furiously
Yet luxuriously
Carries herself like the cutest, most purdiest
Thang ya seen this side of the Bay
Go about her business so purposefully
She got razor sharp wit and she just won't quit (Uh-huh)
Flauntin' it, body built like a house made outta bricks
She got the smile, the style, and finesse
Compounded with the blessed profound intellect
Select few have ever seen her butt naked
And they too wanna see the rep protected, 'cause...
She don't like violence
But she can throw them things, so don't let your guard down
Her thighs are soft but her eyes hard
You can't just try tell her "c'mon now"
She digs Angela Davis
Alice Walker, Nikki Giovanni – oh, honey
Says she wanna be a doctor, an author –
Someday I'm sure she gonna be teachin' somebody
School to street smarts, girl ain't no dummy
Want economic empowerment, it ain't about the money
The boys and gals both all start actin' funny
Whenever the queen's coming around the town, yeah
[Bridge: Lateef, (Lyrics Born), together]
Sweet and tight (and lightning bright)
Outta sight, dynamite (with the freaky shine)
That you can't quite see (but she can't quite hide)
And it lies in her gentle command of the night
[Verse 2: Lyrics Born]
Wherever you took my head, baby – send it home!
(Send it on home)
I really think I lost my edge
('Cause this female's on [a whole new throne])
All the clerks wanna offer you help
Older folks compliment ya style, yeah
All little children wanna jump in your lap
Girl, I wanna do that myself
She ain't no innocent Hello Kitty gem
She's commited sins, and ain't finished yet
But, because of her dis-po-sit-ion
She ain't subject to cri-ti-ci-zm
That's why the other women started mimicking
She ain't tripping off no images
Her interests are all limitless
She ain't limited by inhibitions, lord
Boundless imagination!
She bounced this idea off me, jack
That had me out in space
Somewhere, just floating, not knowing the way back
You know I can't always fathom everything that ya saying 'bout half the time
But when I hear ya voice, it support your point
Wit' all of that body language, girl, it's alright
[Bridge 2: Lyrics Born, (Lateef)]
It's alright
It's alright now
I look right in your eyes, ask "how'd you get so neat?"
(How'd you get so deep?)
And just when I think I know your style
I notice somethin' I ain't peeped
[Simultaneous outro – right side: Lyrics Born]
Don't give me no silent treatment, girl!
You tryna signal, baby? Enlighten me
Ain't that my obligation? No no no!
Little bitty mademoiselle, baby
Window shopping and I'll be your patron
Don't erase my name from that waiting list
Oh, I've been waiting since I was a baby kid
Fetishizing all that surmising, gotta actualize on these plans of mine for ya
(And a little bit of... wanna get a bit of it... yeah...)
[Simultaneous outro – left side: Lateef]
[fading in] ...trying to be
I'ma prove to you, baby girl, that I care about you
'Cause I sense something subtly rare about you
Certain savoir faire in the air about you
[fading out...]
