Sly Pyper, Queen Latifah, Robbie - Woman for the Job lyrics
[Sly Pyper, Queen Latifah, Robbie - Woman for the Job lyrics]
KRS, Latifah, don't forget
Mash up any male or female artist on the set
Mi comin with mi style
Mi take your title and your rep
The BDP Posse and Flavor Unit in effect
It's Queen Latifah with the RE posse
Flavor Unit sound
Broken down by the Boogie Down (Productions)
Slip and slide to a Sly & Robbie instrumental
And also as an indicental
The music to which vocals you
Know I have done produced by (KRS-One)
One tribe, one guide, and one destiny
You want the best of me?
Death to those who testin me
Cause to test is to try to conquer
But me, I catch em (1-2-3) and do an encore
Get paid by music, no money to the mob
Cause I'm the woman for the job
Flavor Unit - assemble! BDP Crew - assemble!
Sly & Robbie - wheel up! Once again
It's time for Queen Latifah to return
Because to live is to learn
I learn a lotta suckers out
There thought we slept
Now they give us (nuff respect)
I'ma get loose inside this queendom
Suckers tried to duck, it didn't work
Cause I seen them
I'm not out to shoot anybody out the box
But it's my scene
(I know just what you mean)
Woman called Latifah is a wise one
There are no others like me
I'm a prized one
Although they try to measure up
I outsize them slobs
Cause I'm the woman for the job
Intelligence captivates your mind
While the sound of my voice
Detains and occupies your ears
The thought and the message speak
Clearly through the vocals
Your heart is breathtaken
And it's bringin you to tears the t-i-p
(tip) That is what you are on the m-u-s-i-c
(Music) That is what you want to own
But you could never be
The one to take my off the throne
Your mind's like a child's, my dear
And I am grown
So just forget it, cause while
You wanna do it, i did it
Also admit it, if you can hit it
You're with it show me your chest
You musta flown over a coockoo's nest
No buts about it
My life you wanna out it? I doubt it
Suckers don't play me
Cause suckers I do vamp
Last time you challenged me
You cancelled due to cramps
Allegedly, really you weren't readily
Able to rock a rhyme so smooth, so steadily
But next time you better be
Cause these appointments ain't for nothin
They're only for coolin, crushin
And solo-bumrushin
KRS-One's creatin music like an Einstein
Rollin up the rhythm to keep
The pace of my rhyme
Me chosen by super musicians, Sly and Rob
Cause I'm the woman for the job
Mash up any male or female artist on the set
Mi comin with mi style
Mi take your title and your rep
