Queen Latifah - Latifah’s Law lyrics

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
