Alright listen, I`m back again cause that`s what you required of
Me steady rhyming, and I`m so sick and tired of
Being forced to put suckers in their place
You make me mad enough to punch you in the face
But I`m not trying, so never sound like I don`t bone to pick with you
Show and prove that you can stand on your own two
I speak the poetry, dissing those who keep on quoting me
Try to play me, cease it, you don`t know me
So smile in my face, behind my back take a line or two
I`m not an idiot, so who you think you lying to?
Queen Latifah`s here to lay the law down
So speed it up or shake it around because it`s a showdown
The 45 King is arising, suprising, hypnotising star, he`s up to par
So I hope you`ve prepared yourself for what you`re in for
This is Latifah`s Law
BMW`s and gold rope chains don`t impress me
Or get you closer to the point you can undress me
Get skeezed, you nose will bleed, that`s how they live life
Prepare to feel the wrath of the giver of all life
Fire and desire make you go a little higher
When I grab the wire of the mic
And get hype, I`m sorry you sound dot
Cause I roll like the homicide squad
You must be broke and, hoping that I`m soft but I`m dope and
Left you in the litter to consider coping with
Life, it`s trife yeah, but these things happen
You need to make it better, stop trying to be the mack again
Get a grip on the African way
Cause there`s a sucker born every day
Crime`s the way for you to see what the Queen saw
And this is Latifah`s law
Now DJ Mark made up a beat that he can bring you
And I of course supply the rhyme that you can swing to
The Flavor Unit keeps all, and keeps a way to band
And slides keep the hardcore fall, cause I`m heavy-handed
Whip out a .45 caliber pen and begin
A funky message from beginning to end
Peace be to Africa, can`t forget my other land
Won`t fulfill my heart unless I speak about the motherland
You say you`re living right, but we know it`s nonsense
In case you forgot, just check your conscience
At showtime, I blow lines, you don`t get yours, I get mine
Your showtimes, you behind, the Queen Latifah divine
Rule number one: don`t step across the line that I drew
Number two: don`t take credit for something that you didn`t do
Number three: check your heart, every man has a call
It`s time for me to go, but I`ll be back, y`all
