My melody was kicking flavor The R.E. posse said "Yo Latifah we can do this" So I paused and took a thought Then my brillance I caught And I agreed because I already knew this Now you should want to flex Cause I'm in full effect Queen Latifah is five-oh on this set You've been begging and dying For somebody's rhyming to set you free For God so loved the world he gave you me I'm coolin', teaching those needing schoolin' And the mic? This mic in my hand? I'm rulin'! So prepare your mind for my lifeline And meet the new Queen of Royal Badness Latifah has the spirit so head for the water And dive into the wrath of my madness [Chorus:] Cost of living getting higher Cause them to run away Queen Latifah getting higher Cause them to run away Some MCs act bold and arrogant Vain and using each other to compete with These subjects I pity Cause their rhymes are not witty like mine To write a rhyme that's so delicious you can eat it There are those who like my taste But don't consider biting There's penalties for those who don't do right And just be reciting Everyone else's word that took a lot of thinking It's not our fault your thoughts are shrinking Well, mine are growing Yes you know like all the woman inside of me Despite what you do or say And even in spite of me Brothers, catch my eye with little hijinks like eye winks Dying to have a lover of my likeness So release all your shyness Just call me "Your highness" And dare to feel the wrath of my madness [Chorus] Word of mouth is always everlasting And everlasting are the words that I bring The ruler of the ring is Lord Ramsey And music is made by Mark the 45 King You tremble for my treble You're begging for the ba** The voice is too vicious The same as the pace The crowds, they love me The brothers give only hugs Their shrink-to-fit bu*ton-flies fit quite snug As a bug, you know why? Because I'm bugging Off the beats that DJ Mark is loving So plex off the sounds that I'm pumping I'm jumping with energy to turn your mind to gladness Come on, just get into it Don't lie and say you've been through it Feel the wrath of my madness [Chorus] The scene is mine cause I took it I took it for the money and I took it for the fun Don't step up in my face You don't want to feel the taste Don't try to play me out Cause I am not the one Brothers on my bra strap Sisters clocking my sound, why? Because they wanna be down with the Queen L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command I supply the concept for you to understand For those who want to bite Don't make me have to fuss The only thing you get is the gluteous maximus s**ers on the tip You're loving me, you're leaving me You wish that one day you could have this Come on, you know the time Just be thankful for the rhyme And get up on the wrath of my madness
