Booking any show when I know that I'll pack it
Attacking with my tactics

I'm happy to get with you
But you can't come out to play
Right now you got to much shit to do
It's all game it all sounds the same
The suckas know my name is sitting on the tips of their brains
But they shame, they scared to face me
Yet they want to disgrace me, erase me
They must be freaking crazy

And that's a promise cause I don't make threats
So mind your neck cause it's about to get set

Listen 2 Me
Listen to me, hear me now
Listen to me, hear me
Listen to me, hear me now
Listen to me, hear me
People in Jersey, dem listening to me
The people uptown, dem listening to me
And people back in Brooklyn
Dem listening to me
And people in Jamaica, dem listening to me
Well it's a party over here
A party over there in every nook and cranny
It's a party everywhere
And that you should have known
When I walked through the door
I'm told I got the flavor
I'm told I got the flow
Before you even try to diss me
Let's get something clear
There ain't no fear between you
And me or the atmosphere
Hail to the queen and the sire
I'm lighting fires
Your style is wack as two flat tires
It will only take a second
For me to just wreck it
Smoother than my body buck naked
I don't have to prove shhh
Just keep doin' hit's
And niggas be all on my two tit's
And even if you think it's odd
I'm telling you, after every single rhyme
I thank God for giving me the power to
Make your heads nod
Tony Dofat style, gotta keep 'em going wild
Listen to me now
People in LA, dem listening to me
The people in the Bay, dem listening to me
The people in DC, dem listening to me
The people in Miami, dem listening to me
Our people in Chicago, dem listening to me
Our people in Detroit, dem listening to me
The people down in Houston listening to me
And everybody, dem listening to me
What a beautiful day and I'm
Riding down the highway
On my way to the studio
Gotta go 'cause I slept late
I just came back from cool ass Cali
Where Mandy was bumpin' MC
Ren's 'In the Alley'
Driving so fast that no one could catch me
While I'm knocking "Gangsta
Bitch" by Apache
This is the mood for making
The hit hip-hop song
You should have known it was on
The places I've been, the people I've seen
And everywhere I go, it's "Give it to 'em
Queen!" 'Cause hip-hop is for real
I'm dealing with the truth
'Cause all over the world
It's aggravated youth
So every time I grab the mic
You know that I could rock it
So I can have some fun and
Put some money in my pocket
You can always know the time
Just recognize the sign
Can't nobody put a padlock on your mind
Listen to me now
The people in London, dem listening to me
The people in Atlanta, dem listening to me
The people in Japan, dem listening to me
The people in Seattle, dem listening to me
The people in Germany, dem listening to me
Our people in Rochester listening to me
Our people in Virginia, dem listening to me
And everybody, dem listening to me

Take a trip on back into the third verse
Of the originator of the
Concept of ladies first
You came along and tried to freak mine
To the contrary
'cause I'm not your ordinary
Piece of feline
See I know the book because I read it twice
If I bite the hook, then I'ma pay the price
Mama taught me Black was beautiful
When I was young and told me all about where
Babies really came from
So you can hit the door with the theory
That all Black women are hoes, hear me?

I Can't Understand
I can't understand...
(I'm going crazy, you're going crazy) in the background
Verse 1
For give me father for I have sinned
I've just destroyed another phony ass rapper again
She wasn't causing it
She must have been stupid as a fiend
He should have told her child you don't step to the queen
Perplexed and I'm vexed cause everywhere i go
People be flexin and expecting me to wanna flow
I don't play that the only way that i will be playin
As if I pay back you wanna play back so what you sayin
You don't wanna be a sister in the name of rap
Yet you wanna talk shit and your style is whack
I would have squashed it before and made the whole issue dead
Now I'm fed so it's off with you head
Now the moral of the verse is that your career is thru
And don't be f*ckin with nobody who aint f*ckin with you
If I were in your shoes, i let there be a start walkin'
Next time there will be no talkin'
I cant understand...
(I'm going crazy, You're going crazy) in the background
Verse 2
A brother pushed up on me at the movies one weekend
He was on a quest and I wasn't ?even seekin
I know though I'm black and he was a Puerto Rican
It made no good to me cause so we continued to speakin
We hit it right off and everything was on a roll
Before i knew it I fell in love with his soul
"Aye poppy aye" was the cry as he made love to me
I was freaked by the way he just to do me
And then one day when I was washing our clothes
A number fell out of his pocket and her name was Rose
A girl's number, hmm, that struck me kinda funny
I lost my grip, I had to call up the honey
There was a chick on the side, oh no it couldn't be
There was a chick on the side, he's down with the OPP
I gave you the whole shebang just to find out
There's another woman hitting my thang
I can't understand...
(I'm going crazy, you're going crazy) in the background
Why the negative vibes and why people take bribes I don't understand it yo,
I don't know
Why the bad people and why the good people die somebody gotta tell me why,
I don't know
Why the people smoke crack and why the whites fight
Blacks what's the scenario,
I don't know
Why the hearts get broke and why the chumps get choke
They know I ain't no joke,
I don't know
Verse 3
Now with the drums, to the bass, to the piano and to the horn
It's a crazy ass life and that's my word is born
I'm trying to be as logical as I possibly can
Before the life of me
You know I just can't understand
What's going on sometimes
Some situations like this come out in my rhymes
But Queen Latifah ain't gone just yet
Cause when it's come to mastering confusion I'm a vet
I can't understand...

Superstar
[Chorus]
You ain't gotta be no superstar
I only want to find out who you are
And we gotta be no Superman
So if you wanna talk to me, you can
My girlies caught me on a good day
I was (something) to move a job
So we took it to a club
Nigga we would make out a little
And plus at the time I was single, a little
So I said "Fine, we could meet up about nine"
So anyway we crossing the place where bub is flowing
We walking around, giving up peace to everyone we knowin'
Some people in the joint is yellin' "Hurt me, Hurt me"
I'm working my way over to the bar cause I'm thirsty
And then I see this guy
Oh no, I think he likes me
I smile cause he's fly
He smiles back, I think he likes me
Well then it takes a twist
He sends his homeboy to talk to me cause he's scared to get dissed
I don't walk baby
I don't bite neither
You coulda asked me yourself for my number to my beeper
The worst thing I'da said was "No"
So maybe next time you better push a (something)
[Chorus]
Saturday moving in the house
Lookin' at the videos
At the same time I'ma tryna put on my clothes
First date (First Date) with the guy's name was Nate
Was he fly?
Yes he was
Word up, the type you have on a plate
Cause I only met him last night
So I don't really know him, but I hope it goes right
So he pulls up at my door in a twenty-four foot limo
What is on his (something), are we expecting more?
He showered me with gifts and then he kissed me on my hand
Now what was in your plan?
I really didn't understand
We're only going to the movies
Either you're trying to impress me or watch you're trying to get the poony
Listen baby, I don't want a condo
You can make me smile a little and give me convo
All I might require from my man is intelligence
And all them other material things is irrelevant
[Chorus x2]
Now if you ready to deal with a girl who consider herself a queen
And you know how to treat a queen
Then step to the scene
We can sit alone in a room and deal
We can take a ride listening to music and chill
And I can do the crazy things I never thought I'd do
And maybe I can do all of those crazy things with you
Cause you ain't gotta be no superstar honey
All I wanna find out is exactly who you are
Money ain't gone make me love ya
And even with your car
So cease with that attitude
With that attitude you won't be getting far
And I love all of my brothers with a passion
Can't a sister get the same type of reaction
(Yeah) If you cool like dat
Take a trip to Jersey cause that's where I'm at
[Chorus]
You ain't gotta be no superstar
I only want to find out who you are
And we gotta be no Superman
So if you wanna talk to me, you can
My girlies caught me on a good day

No Work
You ain't got no work for me
(no work, no work)
Or any Flavor Unit MC (no work, no work)
You ain't got no work for me
(no work, no work)
You ain't got no work for the queen
(no work, no work)
Don't try to get fly, y'all
We're blackin' up eyeballs
I run with a rough set
So don't get me upset
I gas you so hard, I leave you fartin'
You're soft as a buttercup, stupid ass
So why you startin'?
You're memorizing every damn lyric
That I write
You're all up in my mouth every
Time I grab the mic
You need to learn a lesson
From a female headbanger
Stop ridin' on my bra
You freakin' straphanger
Until we play Techs, but I always stay free
I made a resolution for you, 1993
It's all about the Flavor Unit and my family
'Cause I would die for all them
And they would die for me
Leary about this intelligent female
All catch hell an explanation of the Queen
Latifah spelled well so blow up and know me
Don't even contemplate a theory
About jerkin' me
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
You ain't got work for the queen
(no work, no work)
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
Nor any Flavor Unit MCs (no work, no work)
Check it
Play me like a child, but you know I'm grown
See waterworks, so take your broke ass home
That was the way it started
Out back in the day
A little singin' joint with
The hardcore phrase
Amazed I wouldn't diss another sister
'less she had it coming
And even then, I would take it to her face
My presence is stunning
Cunning as a venus fly trap
'Cause, word up, I fight
Back, you're damn right, it's like that
So step back, I'm not the type of girl
You can run through and drop
I'm not the type of girl to
Be running to the cops
I know about everything that goes
On on my block and right beside my bed
I keep a Luger and a Glock
They're for the protection of
A Flavor Unit queen me not gon' let ya go
Until me hear ya scream
I look in your eyes when I
Speak to your punk ass
I ought to put my feet to you
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
You ain't got work for the queen
(no work, no work)
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
Nor any Flavor Unit MCs (no work, no work)
Now, this wicked curse hurts
Spank your girls and boys, I'm annoyed
You gots no work
So I lurk to keep you unemployed
I'm a part of a tribe with a vibe
I scribe with nine lives
You're kicked inside outside
I used to ride the path across
The tracks in your mouth
Until I jumped the turnstile and
The conductor threw me out
You feelin' kinda horny? Call a
Clinic on that crotch
You's a dingy, dirty bitch
So I gotta Shout it out
I had it up to here, plus there
'Cause I'll be here plus there
We'll bump heads
There's nuff lumps everywhere
Nigga-niggas say the hood ain't changed
I get my niggies with the hoodies
Far from goody, but they're bad instead
We're ready for the worst things first
Anything you thought, I thought
Twice, thought through, and thought first
The queen picks the verse off a shirt
You hurt when I smirk 'cause you know first
You ain't got work for the queen
(no work, no work)
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
You ain't got work for the queen
(no work, no work)
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
You ain't got no work for the queen
(no work, no work)
Nor any Flavor Unit MCs (no work, no work)
I said you ain't got no work for me
(no work, no work)
I said you ain't got no work for me
(no work, no work)
(no work, no work)
Or any Flavor Unit MC (no work, no work)
You ain't got no work for me
(no work, no work)
You ain't got no work for the queen
(no work, no work)
Don't try to get fly, y'all
We're blackin' up eyeballs
I run with a rough set
So don't get me upset
I gas you so hard, I leave you fartin'
You're soft as a buttercup, stupid ass
So why you startin'?
You're memorizing every damn lyric
That I write
You're all up in my mouth every
Time I grab the mic
You need to learn a lesson
From a female headbanger
Stop ridin' on my bra
You freakin' straphanger
Until we play Techs, but I always stay free
I made a resolution for you, 1993
It's all about the Flavor Unit and my family
'Cause I would die for all them
And they would die for me
Leary about this intelligent female
All catch hell an explanation of the Queen
Latifah spelled well so blow up and know me
Don't even contemplate a theory
About jerkin' me
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
You ain't got work for the queen
(no work, no work)
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
Nor any Flavor Unit MCs (no work, no work)
Check it
Play me like a child, but you know I'm grown
See waterworks, so take your broke ass home
That was the way it started
Out back in the day
A little singin' joint with
The hardcore phrase
Amazed I wouldn't diss another sister
'less she had it coming
And even then, I would take it to her face
My presence is stunning
Cunning as a venus fly trap
'Cause, word up, I fight
Back, you're damn right, it's like that
So step back, I'm not the type of girl
You can run through and drop
I'm not the type of girl to
Be running to the cops
I know about everything that goes
On on my block and right beside my bed
I keep a Luger and a Glock
They're for the protection of
A Flavor Unit queen me not gon' let ya go
Until me hear ya scream
I look in your eyes when I
Speak to your punk ass
I ought to put my feet to you
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
You ain't got work for the queen
(no work, no work)
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
Nor any Flavor Unit MCs (no work, no work)
Now, this wicked curse hurts
Spank your girls and boys, I'm annoyed
You gots no work
So I lurk to keep you unemployed
I'm a part of a tribe with a vibe
I scribe with nine lives
You're kicked inside outside
I used to ride the path across
The tracks in your mouth
Until I jumped the turnstile and
The conductor threw me out
You feelin' kinda horny? Call a
Clinic on that crotch
You's a dingy, dirty bitch
So I gotta Shout it out
I had it up to here, plus there
'Cause I'll be here plus there
We'll bump heads
There's nuff lumps everywhere
Nigga-niggas say the hood ain't changed
I get my niggies with the hoodies
Far from goody, but they're bad instead
We're ready for the worst things first
Anything you thought, I thought
Twice, thought through, and thought first
The queen picks the verse off a shirt
You hurt when I smirk 'cause you know first
You ain't got work for the queen
(no work, no work)
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
You ain't got work for the queen
(no work, no work)
You ain't got work for me (no work, no work)
You ain't got no work for the queen
(no work, no work)
Nor any Flavor Unit MCs (no work, no work)
I said you ain't got no work for me
(no work, no work)
I said you ain't got no work for me
(no work, no work)

Just Another Day...
[Queen Talking]
We gon take this one over to 275 Paulstand
384 Steuyversant, we gon take it over to
155 Morgan
144 Harrison
[Chorus: x1]
Just Another Day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today, feelin lovely-yay
Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today
I hear the(gunshot), but I'm here to stay
[Verse 1]
Well it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day in the neighbor-hood
Can't go wrong, I feel strong and the flavor's good
I'm wit whateva comes my way, hip-hop hooray
Latifah's on vacation, I'm just plain on day to day
I strap out, step out in every direction
Glock, tech's, jimmy hat's, in case I need protection
So I land cruise, play I wanna be's
A kid in the increase gettin jack right in front of me
So I pull the tech close, my finger's on the trigger
Don't wanna get wet, so they step
Cause mine's is slighty bigger
But better yet, I'ma threat, so ya better walk
Or get sketched out in chalk, cause I don't wanna talk
I stay true blue, I'm hopin it's you too
I got the fever for the flava of a??????
So it's back to the block time to play
It's just another day around the way, hey
[Chorus: x1]
[Verse 2]
Time to chill, hit the hill, uptown let's keep it sight's
Shoot some pool, act a fool, cause it's own tonight
I'm doin the knowledge, it's not easy, easy
Watchin a cop cuff a kid for sellin a clip to a D.T.
But it's home, so I flex, get pressure's off my chest
Slip in a tape, now which hood should I hit next
Stomach ache, had a steak, and take for a bean pie
Get a final call for the brother in a bow-tie
I'm from little kid's, dream, and fiend for fun
Lots of laughter moms, no pops playin wit her son
I pass by a girl wake, they say she died at seven
Hit by a stray, but I pray their's a hood in heaven
Fake brother's claim their's no shame in they're game
You know my name, show me a real nigga wit a brain
Too it's back to the block time to play
It's just another day around the way, hey
[Chorus: x1]
[Verse 3]
You know I gotta get props, I can't stop, wit out y'all
I be nothin, no wreckin, no checkin, no rhymin, no cuttin
No stages from pages, no phones, no beeper's
No reason to put Queen in front of the name Latifah
I come with the real like respectin in rule
Cause me and my peoples around the way remain cool
So it's back to the block time to play
It's just another day, around the wha, around the muthaf*ckin way
[Chorus until fade]
We gon take this one over to 275 Paulstand
384 Steuyversant, we gon take it over to
155 Morgan
144 Harrison
[Chorus: x1]
Just Another Day, living in the hood

U.N.I.T.Y.
Uh, U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity
U.N.I.T.Y., love a black man from infinity to infinity
(Who you calling a bitch?)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black woman from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)
(You go, come on here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)
Instinct leads me to another flow
Everytime I hear a brother call a girl a bitch or a ho
Trying to make a sister feel low
You know all of that gots to go
Now everybody knows there's exceptions to this rule
Now don't be getting mad, when we playing, it's cool
But don't you be calling out my name
I bring wrath to those who disrespect me like a dame
That's why I'm talking, one day I was walking down the block
I had my cutoff shorts on right cause it was crazy hot
I walked past these dudes when they passed me
One of 'em felt my booty, he was nasty
I turned around red, somebody was catching the wrath
Then the little one said (Yeah me bitch) and laughed
Since he was with his boys he tried to break fly
Huh, I punched him dead in his eye and said "Who you calling a bitch?"
(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)

U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)
I hit the bottom, there ain't nowhere else to go but up
Bad days at work, give you an attitude then you were rough
And take it out on me but that's about enough
You put your hands on me again I'll put your ass in handcuffs
I guess I fell so deep in love I grew dependency
I was too blind to see just how it was affecting me
All I knew was you, you was all the man I had
And I was scared to let you go, even though you treated me bad
But I don't want my kids to see me getting beat down
By daddy smacking mommy all around
You say I'm nothing without ya, but I'm nothing with ya
A man don't really love you if he hits ya
This is my notice to the door, I'm not taking it no more
I'm not your personal whore, that's not what I'm here for
And nothing good gonna come to ya til you do right by me
Brother you wait and see (Who you calling a bitch?)
(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)

U.N.I.T.Y., Love a black man from (You got to let him know)
infinity to infinity (You ain't a bitch or a ho)
What's going on in your mind is what I ask ya
But like Yo-Yo, you don't hear me though
You wear a rag around your head and you call yourself
a "Gangsta Bitch" now that you saw Apache's video
I saw you wilding, acting like a fool
I peeped you out the window jumping girls after school
But where did all of this come from?
A minute ago, you was a nerd and nobody ever heard of ya
Now you a wannabe... hard
You barely know your ABC's, please
There's plenty of people out there with triggers ready to pull it
Why you trying to jump in front of the bullet (Young lady)
Uh, and real bad girls are the silent type
Ain't none of this work getting your face sliced
Cause that's what happened to your homegirl, right? Bucking with nobody
She got to wear that for life (Who you calling a bitch?)
(Here we go)
U.N.I.T.Y., U.N.I.T.Y. that's a unity (You gotta let him know)

Weekend Love
[ Featuring Tony Rebel ]
[Queen Latifah]
Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love
[Queen Latifah]
Have you been misled
Anything I said
Didn't mean to turn you on
The bite is oh so strong
You got things to do
But I have got things too
So I'll catch you on the weekend
Mondays to Fridays I don't see you then
[Unknown Reggae Artist]
A W-E-E-K and a E-N-D
And a L-O-V-E we were meant to be
A W-E-E-K, a E-N-D
L-O-V-E we were meant to be
[Queen Latifah]
Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love
[Queen Latifah]
Seems it's been so long
Since you thrilled me with your charms
I tenderly imagine me
Resting in your arms
You've got things to do
And I have got things too
So I'll catch you on the weekend
Mondays to Fridays, I don't see you then
[Unknown Reggae Artist]
Because we're sorry when we part
And we love when we meet
I know we only do that ?
Once in a week
Sorry when we part
And we love when we meet
I know we only do that ?
Once in a week
[Unknown Reggae Artist]
I know, you know
We all occupied
From our own love life
This has been denied
Many feelins high
Many tears of pride
But by the weekend
Let my spirit devide
[Queen Latifah]
Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love (maybe someday we'll change)
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love
[Queen Latifah]
If you've been misled
By anything I've said
Didn't mean to turn you on
The bite was oh so strong
You've got things to do
But I have got things too
So I'll catch you on the weekend
Mondays to Fridays I don't see you then
[Unknown Reggae Artist]
A W-E-E-K and a E-N-D
L-O-V-E we were meant to be
A W-E-E-K, a E-N-D
L-O-V-E we were meant to be
[Unknown Reggae Artist]
??????????
To nourish and cherish every moment
To deliver the goods I am ???
And I know you're posessed with the ingredients
Till the weekend the days seems to be long
But by the weekend I wish I could reverse its time
Good things can come in a small bag
So let's make use of the time that we have
When we are together cos we stay popular
???????????
When we are together you and I wonder
If this love is gonna last forever
Well then I think and I start remember
That we are a ? star
[Queen Latifah]
Weekend love
Gonna spend a weekend love
Weekend love
Just a case of weekend love

Winkis Theme
[Talk:]
This jam is dedicated to my brother Winki who is looking down on me from
Heaven Watching my every move as usual....
[Chorus:]
There but for the grace of god do I go do I go
There but for the grace of God do I go do I go-go
I'm trying to take my time on this rhyme
But it's bustin from the seems
Like a fantasy and eagerness of dreams
I'm moving all around
Oh yes,I'm making leaps an bounds
Theres so much s- to say, no time to write it down
I'm skippin' to this and skippin' to that
I've overflowed my cup.
I'm flowin' kind of quick I hope you can keep up
Every ain't cool just cause you slap me on my hand
There're things about all of ya'll have got to understand
Latifah- never was a teacher
Never was a preacher
Never was a saint
Never was conceited
Never was defeated
Sometimes I get tired sometimes I want to faint.
But I never shut up when things piss me off
And if I got to curse at you to get my point across
Thats what I got to do thats how it's got to be
I've got an angel watching over me
[Chorus x2]
There but for the grace.... (if you lose your mind) Search and find... Its time to move on, what's going on in your mind, try to find a piece of mind, when your blind the world's unkind, got to find, keep the rhyme everytime never gone, I keep on, I keep, I keep on, Strive on, Strive on, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, break it down, The Lord is the light, the light, of my life
The Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world
Oh, Yes he did, yes he did
The Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world
You don't hear me
Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world Yes he did, yes he did (There but for the grace of god do I go do I go), The Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world
Lord is the light of my life and he brightens up my world, world, world, world, world(There but for the grace of god do I go do I go)
This jam is dedicated to my brother Winki who is looking down on me from

Black Reign is the third studio album by American rapper Queen Latifah, released in 1993. Black Reign was her most successful album up to that point, peaking at number 60 on the Billboard 200. The album also peaked at number fifteen on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The album sold in excess of 500,000 copies, achieving gold status.
Trouser Press wrote that Latifah "rhymes over bottom-booming jeep beats and sings to sweet soul, dancehall and, in the case of 'Winki's Theme,' a song for her late brother, a live jazz quartet." The New York Times wrote: "As one of hip-hop's true vocal virtuosos, Queen Latifah tosses off articulate, quick-changing syncopations when she raps, slipping in and out of a Jamaican accent and singing melodic choruses in a sweet, strong voice."
