Dance for Me

Dance

Dance

It's a fact I'll attest to, mess around, I'll arrest you

I ain't playin', you know what I'm sayin'?

This ain't the best you'll ever hear coming from a female MC

But you know what I mean? (Hail to the Queen)

This MC stands for microphone commando

When I command that you take a hand

And throw it up in the air, yeah, just like that now

Chill, and watch me rap 'cause I'm flowing (Flowing)

Just like water, I slaughter (Slaughter)

A battle, put me in it, I'll win it

The mission is music and rhythm

Rhythm backed by words, all in my system

System by techniques, techniques I got my heart in

Heart into the music, music I take part in

One tribe, one God, and one destiny

Just dance for me

Dance to the music

Dance to the music

Dance

Dance

Now understand that you must dance because this is a beat to clap to

My brother Lance said, "Latifah, you gotta make 'em get up off their feet"

So I put my rhyme to a DJ Mark beat

Ample samples, this, for example

Are made by the 45 King, so cancel

Your plans of moving to the frontline

He's a DJ, producer, and mind you, a friend of mine

I hop, dip, and spend with the children

So get down with the sound and you will lend

To let me sing while I bring

Queen Latifah to the 45 King, creating

A new style in the name of the Flavor Unit

That's the way we like it, so I'm doing it

So if you wanna know what the plan is to be

I order you to dance for me

Dance to the music

Dance to the music

My voice is your choice at a stage show

I do it for the Flavor Unit to make you say, "Ho!"

With powerful lyrics, I'm armed

To let a sucker step up and get bombed

By a beat created by my producer

To break you outta the stuff that you're used to

This here is the moment of truth

So take the record to the DJ booth

And let's start this, let the beat get dumb

'Cause I'ma shake it all night and then some

People dancin', I can spot 'em

When I take control, you know I got 'em

Stop the music? That's not a question

The Flavor Unit take no suggestions

If you're not on the dance tip, here's your chance to be

I order you to dance for me

Dance to the music

Dance to the music

Dance to the music

Dance to the music

Dance to the music

Dance to the music
