Dance for Me

It's a fact I'll attest to, mess around and I'll arrest you

I ain't playing, you know what I'm saying?

This ain't the best you've ever hear coming from a female MC

But you know what I mean? (Hail to the Queen!)

This MC stands for "Microphone Commando"

When I command that you take a hand

And throw it up in the air, yeah, just like that now

Chill, and watch me rap cause I'm flowing (Flowing)

Just like water I slaughter (Slaughter)

A battle, put me in it, I win it

The mission is music and rhythm

Rhythm backed by words, all in my system

System by techniques, techniques I got my heart in

Heart into the music, music I take part in

One try, one God, and one destiny

Just dance for me

"Dance to the music" (Repeat 2x)

Now understand that you must (dance) because this is a beat to clap to

My brother Lance said "Latifah you got to make them get up off their feet"

So I put my rhyme to a DJ Mark beat

Ample samples, this for example

Your plans of moving to the front lines

He's a DJ, producer, and mind you a friend of mine

I hop, dip, and spend with the children

So get down with the sound and you will lend

To let me bring while I bring

Queen Latifah to the 45 King, creating

A new style in the name of the Flavor Unit

That's the way we like it, so I'm doing it

So if you want to know what the plan is to be

I order you to dance for me

"Dance to the music" (Repeat 2x)

My voice is your choice at a stage show

I do it for the Flavor Unit to make you say "ho"

With powerful lyrics I'm armed

To let a sucker step up and get bombed

By a beat created by my producer

To break you out of the stuff that you're used to

This here is a moment of truth

So take the record to the DJ booth

And let's start this, let the beat get dumb

Cause I'm a shake it all night and then some

People dancing, I can spot 'em

When I take control, you know I got 'em

Stop the music? That's not a question

The Flavor Unit takes no suggestions

If you're not on the dance tip, here's your chance to be

I order you to dance for me

"Dance to the music" (Repeat 6x)
