[Verse 1]
Basslines affect me when my rhymes direct me
Forgive the crowds, oh, Lord, they know not why they sweat me
Biting's against the law in the place that I live
So I lock up the door with the keys to my crib

[Chorus]
They call me the high priestess of disaster
Although I'm not a dread and not a Rasta
There's never been a word I can't master
I've always been a piddly pastor

[Verse 2]
I reign, the lesson of today
You have to listen to each and every single word I have to say
Because the Ruler Lord Ramsey is on my side
And I'm the princess of the posse, so, yo, take it light

[Chorus]
Princess of the posse, me say she a cool one
She rhyme American, she rock Jamaican
Princess of the posse, me say she a cool girl
She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world

[Verse 3]
You try to dissect my rhymes to see if there's a pattern
I bounced it all around you like the rings around Saturn
Let me know now if you would like to protest this proceeding
A greeting, or would you rather progress
Onto a higher plateau? Truly, I'm takin' it slow
Enough for you to seek the knowledge and to know
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N-L-A-T-I-F-A-H
Queen of the R.E. Posse, the GLA which is Get Live Alright
You standing there, chewing on your fingernails, nervous
Watching me doin' the live thing
Singin' like a bird sing, ringin' like the phone ring
I'm the Queen and you're the underling
I'm never following, I follow none
The princess of the posse is a cool one
[Chorus]
Princess of the posse, me say she a cool one
She rhyme American, she rock Jamaican
Princess of the posse, me say she a cool girl
She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world

[Verse 4]
I'm the Queen of the clan, with a mic in my hand
I step over suckers to position myself to rule this land
It's a concoction for my ability
To show the skeezers the meaning of humility, huh
'Cause they don't know I'm not the one to front on or to
I'm snatchin' hearts 'cause I'm Latifah and I want to
I find it necessary to tell you to get off my tip
I'm kickin' gold, so grab a hold and get a good grip
Stop the lyin', the tryin'
The time buyin', you've been denyin'
'Cause you're dependent on me, the princess of the posse
Yo, I got the cards, so I'm dealin' a death blow
You're takin' no crowns, put that on cease
My DJ's name is Mark the 45 King, to the posse, peace
Gotta let you know where I come from
The princess of the posse is a cool one

[Chorus]
Princess of the posse, me say she a cool one
She rhyme American, she rock Jamaican
Princess of the posse, me say she a cool girl
She rhyme Brooklyn, the Bronx, USA, the world
[Outro]
Latifah run the family
Me say me haffi do it for the R.E. Posse
You try to be down, you can't take the crown
Maybe from someone else, but not me
Latifah run the family
Me say me haffi do it for the R.E. Posse
You try to be down, you can't take the crown
Maybe from someone else, but not me
