There's no room for that in the '90s, yo I'm still a bill and still checkin' mics, one-two A whole year later, made you wait 'til the album's through So many controversies over the language in rap It wasn't a cuss that started a fuss Now that's just a Black thing Figure of speech is one thing But enough of those reruns Callin' sisters this and tricks You gotta be one to see one And sisters, brothers ain't all to blame, this may help 'Cause no respect is given to those who cannot respect self, see? The queen has spoken Yeah, I'm yokin', my head is hot My style is like me shootin' hoops Yeah, I better drop For the last time, it's rag time I go for mine I was leanin' towards a reason To get you steamin' one more time [Chorus] One more time I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah (say what? say what?) One more time I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah (say what? say what?) One more time I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah (say what? say what?) One more time I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah (say what? say what?) One more time [Verse 2] A little taste from a bird's eye view Of all the styles I might do Don't have it down to a "tee" I have it down to a Q U know the E-E-N is close friends So they come too You ever step in the way? You get stepped on and stepped through The Flavor Unit's come and then we must make room For all the flavor's here This is one of my all-time flavor-ite tunes Dissin' the Latifah? What this for? You'd better off rammin' your head against a brick wall, Seagal Time to rag that asset from corner to cassette Chumps come try to trash it and see how far that gets On the rhymin' tip, I ain't no joke Singin' tip? Golden throat! I hold a note so long, here's a ransom note Prepare for war the worst who's first sharin' a Glock, lick shot from Africa, bust 'em at America! I never bite my tongue This is what some long nights have done Bitin', to me, don't even sound like it might be fun Start with a change of heart and save all that sorry, child I'm like P.E., I get bold, buckwild, safari style For the last time, it's ragtime I go for mine I was leanin' towards a reason To get you steamin' one more time [Chorus] One more time I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah (say what? say what?) One more time I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah (say what? say what?) One more time I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah (well, the name is Latifah) (say what? say what?) (well, the name is Latifah) One more time I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A-T-I-F-A-H, yeah (well, the name is Latifah) (say what? say what?) One more time [Verse 3] Put a freeze on your jolly raps I ain't a dizzy dolly that Takes a line and splatterin' No happenin' when it's probably wack Don't approach the queen like she's a skeeze 'Cause I am way past that Makin' my own, savin' my own Is why y'all always find me stacked Keepin' my cool, speakin' my mind And givin' it all I got, alright? Bustin' buffoons, peekin' to find Who's goin' left and playin' right Lovin' my crew, bringin' 'em up Leadin' 'em all to somethin' great Want to be sure One may not have But since I'm strong My clique is straight And I could never go out like an exit 'Cause my fans stick behind me And they wouldn't expect it I'm level-headed, head-to-head I'm headed straight to Harlem Though I'm not dreaded, dread the dred If they're not there, you call 'em I need my brothers and sisters With me, standing hand to hand Band to band, we're off land to land and Buyin' much property, properly, pronto, please That's the only way a Black business starts, you see Name callin' hasn't fallen into what I'm runnin' I wouldn't diss another sister 'less she had it comin' One time, I'm chill when I sing it You think that you can swing it? Then bring it [Patois Hook]
