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 buying, 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 don´t 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 your sound died 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
