Ladies First Lyrics by Queen Latifah

Ladies First Lyrics

    [Queen Latifah]
    The ladies will kick it, the rhyme that is wicked
    Those that don't know how to be pros get evicted
    A woman can bear you, break you, take you
    Now it's time to rhyme, can you relate to
    A sister dope enough to make you holler and scream

    [Monie Love]
    Ayo, let me take it from here, Queen...
    Excuse me but I think I'm about do
    To get into precisely what I am about to do
    I'm conversating to the folks that have no whatsoever clue
    So listen very carefully as I break it down for you
    Merrily merrily merrily merrily hyper happy overjoyed
    Pleased with all the beats and rhymes my sisters have employed
    Slick and smooth throwing down the sound totally a yes
    Let me state the position: Ladies first, yes? (Yes)

    (Yeah, there's going to be some changes in here)

    [Monie Love]
    Believe me when I say being a woman is great, you see
    I know all the fellas out there will agree with me
    Not for being one but for being with one
    Because when it's time for loving it's the woman that gets some
    Strong, stepping, strutting, moving on
    Rhyming, cutting, and not forgetting
    We are the ones that give birth
    To the new generation of prophets because it's Ladies First

    [Queen Latifah]
    I break into a lyrical freestyle
    Grab the mic, look into the crowd and see smiles
    Cause they see a woman standing up on her own two
    Sloppy slouching is something I won't do
    Some think that we can't flow (can't flow)
    Stereotypes, they got to go (got to go)
    I'm a mess around and flip the scene into reverse
    (With what?) With a little touch of "Ladies First"

    Who said the ladies couldn't make it, you must be blind
    If you don't believe, well here, listen to this rhyme
    Ladies first, there's no time to rehearse
    I'm divine and my mind expands throughout the universe
    A female rapper with the message to send the
    Queen Latifah is a perfect specimen

    [Monie Love]
    My sister, can I get some?

    [Queen Latifah]
    Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb

    [Monie Lovie]
    Yo, praise me not for simply being what I am
    Born in L-O-N-D-O-N and sound American
    You dig exactly where I'm coming from
    You want righteous rhyming, Imma give you some
    To enable you to aid yourself and get paid
    And the material that has no meaning I wish to slay
    Pay me every bit of your attention
    Like mother, like daughter, I would also like to mention
    I wish for you to bring me to, bring me to the rhythm
    Of which is now systematically given
    Desperately stressing I'm the daughter of a sister
    Who's the mother of a brother who's the brother of another
    Plus one more; all four
    Have a job to do, we doing it
    Respect due, to the mother who's the root of it
    And next up is me, the M-O-N-I-E L-O-V-E
    And I'm first cause I'm a L-A-D-I-E

    [Queen Latifah]
    Contact and in fact, the style, it gets harder
    Cooling on the scene with my European partner
    Laying down track after track, waiting for the climax
    When I get there, that's when I tax
    The next man, or the next woman
    It doesn't make a difference, keep the competition coming
    And I'll recite the chapter in verse
    The title of this recital is "Ladies First"
