Queen Latifah

Inside Out

Queen Latifah


Uh huh, well the name is Latifah, you hear me coming through 
the spreaker. Hit it Mark, 45 king 

I am a bill, yes I'm only a bill when 
It's time to ill I get ill and time to chill 
I chill, my homeboy said this was the D.A.I.S.Y. age 
I take it as meaning you have to get crazy paid 
You hope I'm from your borough, because I'm thorough 
You want me to be down with you, to be seen walking around with you 
Go to the store and buy a brew and rock a rhyme or two 
So you can bite it, you taste it, you like it 
You think I'm sleeping on you? Please, don't even try it 
The name is Latifah, the scene, it is mine 
The 45 King keeps the beat and the time while I 
Rock to the rhythm and keep it blowing out 
So don't try to turn me inside out 

Latifah is the name you love 
Flying through rhymes like a dove 
Slapping suckers with a glove 
Challenge me and you will burn 
Yes in the fire you will burn 

It's so so simply done 
When I find that I have to run 
Lyrics to music by the King of Swing, The 45 King 
The words we bring I write, and sing 
Cause I am Latifah, the Queen of course 
Don't try to get yours off, because the cause is lost 
Mark conducts the beat, I watch it hit them 
Won't you chill? I don't need another victim 
To add to the list of aggrivation 
Subtracting suckers like a math computation 
We are not teaching pupils and subjects with no scruples 
This is a King and Queen creation 
So hello hello hello and how ya doing? 
Forget the smalltalk now, it's time for me to ruin 
Those who don't believe in what I'm saying 
When I put up the wall of words ain't no way into my Queendom 
Controlled by me, the heir to the throne is the Ruler Lord Ramsey 
The Ruler Lord, to him there is no equal 
He grabs it and starts bombing people 
Don't listen to me to figure me out 
Because you can't turn my mind inside out 

Latifah is the name you love 
Flying through rhymes like a dove 
Slapping suckers with a glove 
Challenge me and you will burn 
Yes in the fire you will burn 

Rhyming's not a question of one superiority 
But rather how you delegate the use of your authority 
I know who you are, and I know who you are to me 
But I came here just to party 
If it's a show you want, the show it live 
And if it's trouble you seek, I have arrived 
When Mark requests my approval, I nod 
And after each and every single rhyme I thank God 
Altough a taste of my body would soothe you 
I give you just my voice and watch the rhythm move you 
The method of my lyrics makes the funky people feel it 
And Lord have mercy on those that try to steal it 
Latifah is a name meaning "delicate and sensitive" 
But I have no problem formulating sentences 
To break you down to the ground 
I won't use violence, the color of this is brown 
And I am down, but never ever down and out 
So don't try to turn me inside out 

Latifah is the name you love 
Flying through rhymes like a dove 
Slapping suckers with a glove 
Challenge me and you will burn 
Yes in the fire you will burn 

Jah know? Cause ah... 

Music, 45 King, music Latifah the Queen 
Music, domination to bring the world 
Irie, say in the fire you will burn
