Inside Out

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

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 (Repeats to fade)
