Ladies First

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?

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 conversatin' 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)

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 bein' one but for bein' with one

'Cause when it's time for lovin', it's the woman that gets some

Strong, steppin', struttin', movin' on

Rhymin', cuttin', and not forgettin'

We are the ones that give birth

To the new generation of prophets 'cause it's Ladies First

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 slouchin' is somethin' I won't do

Some think that we can't flow

Can't flow

Stereotypes, they got to go

Got to go

I'ma mess around and flip the scene into reverse

With what?

With a little touch of "Ladies First"

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

My sister, can I get some?

Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb

Yo, praise me not for bein' simply what I am

Born in L-O-N-D-O-N and sound American

You dig exactly where I'm comin' from

You want righteous rhymin', I'ma give you some

To enable you to aid yourself and get paid

And the material that has no meanin' 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 stressin' 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

Contact and in fact, the style, it gets harder

Coolin' on the scene with my European partner

Layin' down track after track, waitin' 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 comin'

And I'll recite the chapter in verse

The title of this recital is "Ladies First"
