Latifah's Law
Latifah's Law: Queen's Rhyme Unveils Truths
Lyrics
Alright listen, I'm back again cause that's what you required of
Queen Latifah is returning as requested by the audience.
Me steady rhyming, and I'm so sick and tired of
Expressing frustration with continuous rhyming and the desire for a change.
Being forced to put suckers in their place
Refusing to tolerate disrespect and asserting authority over rivals.
You make me mad enough to punch you in the face
Intense anger but not resorting to violence despite provocation.
But I'm not trying, so never sound like I don't bone to pick with you
Denying any personal grudge and challenging others to prove themselves.
Show and prove that you can stand on your own two
Encouraging self-sufficiency and independence.
I speak the poetry, dissing those who keep on quoting me
Expressing poetic creativity while criticizing imitators.
Try to play me, cease it, you don't know me
Warning against underestimating Queen Latifah and misunderstanding her.
So smile in my face, behind my back take a line or two
Cautioning against betrayal and hypocrisy.
I'm not an idiot, so who you think you lying to?
Asserting intelligence and questioning dishonesty.
Queen Latifah's here to lay the law down
Announcing Queen Latifah's authority and purpose.
So speed it up or shake it around because it's a showdown
Calling for action or a change in attitude.
The 45 King is arising, surprising, hypnotising star, he's up to par
Highlighting the skills and impact of DJ Mark.
So I hope you've prepared yourself for what you're in for
Preparing the audience for a significant experience.
This is Latifah's Law
Introducing "Latifah's Law" as a governing principle.
BMW's and gold rope chains don't impress me
Addressing materialism, violence, and the need for positive change.
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 you sound dot
-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
Reiterating the authority of "Latifah's Law."
Now DJ Mark made up a beat that he can bring you
Acknowledging the collaboration, expressing commitment, and showcasing lyrical prowess.
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
Establishing rules for respect, honesty, and self-reflection.
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
Announcing departure with a promise to return.
