Queen Latifah - Listen 2 Me lyrics

[Chorus:] Listen to me, hear me now Listen to me, hear me Listen to me, hear me now Listen to me, hear me People in Jersey, dem listening to me The people uptown, dem listening to me And people back in Brooklyn, dem listening to me And people in Jamaica, dem listening to me [Verse 1:] Well it's a party over here, a party over there In every nook and cranny, it's a party everywhere And that you should have known When I walked through the door I'm told I got the flavor, I'm told I got the flow Before you even try to diss me Let's get something clear There ain't no fear between you and me or the atmosphere Hail to the queen and the sire I'm lighting fires Your style is wack as two flat tires It will only take a second For me to just wreck it Smoother than my body buck naked I don't have to prove shhh... Just keep doin' hits And n***as be all on my two tits And even if you think it's odd I'm telling you, after every single rhyme, I thank God For giving me the power to make your heads nod Tony Dofat style, gotta keep 'em going wild Listen to me now [Chorus] People in L.A., dem listening to me The people in the Bay, dem listening to me The people in D.C., dem listening to me The people in Miami, dem listening to me Our people in Chicago, dem listening to me Our people in Detroit, dem listening to me The people down in Houston listening to me And everybody, dem listening to me [Verse 2:] What a beautiful day and I'm riding down the highway On my way to the studio, gotta go cause I slept late I just came back from cool a** Cali Where Mandy was bumpin' MC Ren's in the alley Driving so fast that no one could catch me While I'm knocking "Gangsta b**h" by Apache This is the mood for making the hit hip-hop song You should have known it was on The places I've been, the people I've seen And everywhere I go, it's “Give it to 'em, Queen!” Cause hip-hop is for real, I'm dealing with the truth Cause all over the world, it's aggravated youth So every time I grab the mic, you know that I could rock it So I can have some fun and put some money in my pocket You can always know the time, just recognize the sign Cain't nobody put a padlock on your mind Listen to me now [Chorus] The people in London, dem listening to me The people in Atlanta, dem listening to me The people in Japan, dem listening to me The people in Seattle, dem listening to me The people in Germany, dem listening to me Our people in Rochester listening to me Our people in Virginia, dem listening to me And everybody, dem listening to me [Vamp:] Lover of the people living in the city On and on, on and on Lover of the people living in the city On and on, on and on You're rollin' with the vibe (vibe) You get into the vibe (vibe) You're rollin' with the vibe (vibe) Just get into the vibe (vibe) You gotta feel the vibe (vibe) Just get into the vibe (vibe) You're rollin' with the vibe (vibe) Just get into the vibe (vibe) [Verse 3:] Take a trip on back into the third verse Of the originator of the concept of ladies first You came along and tried to freak mine To the contrary, cause I'm not your ordinary piece of feline See I know the book because I read it twice If I bite the hook, then I'mma pay the price Mama taught me Black was beautiful when I was young And told me all about where babies really came from So you can hit the door with the theory That all Black women are hoes, hear me?
