Monie Love - Ladies First (Radio Edit) lyrics

* contains a short bonus verse not on the LP version Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first (Funky) (Funky) [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 who 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) Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first [Monie Love] Believe me when I say being a woman is great, you see I know that all the fellas out there will agree with me Not the being one but the 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 at 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" Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first (Yeah, there's going to be some changes made here) [Queen Latifah] Who said that 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, I'mma 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" Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first Oooh, Ladies first, ladies first [Queen Latifah] Step out into the night Queens of civilization are on the mic The scene is right, the crowd is hype I expel the wack and those who bite Why, cause I'm that type Swaying with beats 45 King style He wants me to sing but I swing, so meanwhile A footnote for the opposite s** Monie ripped the mic, I rocked it next Plex, you never catch me at my worst You get the drift? It's Ladies First
