Queen Latifah
Inside Out

[Intro]
Yeah
Uh-huh (Uh-huh)
Well, the name is Latifah
You hear me comin' through the speaker
I'm hearin', hearin' bounce tonight
Come on
Hit it, Mark
45 King

[Verse 1]
I am a bill, yes, I'm only a bill
When it's time to get ill, I get ill and time to chill, I chill
My homeboy said this is the D.A.I.S.Y. age
I take it as meaning you have to get crazy paid
You hope I'm from your borough because I'm thorough
You want me to be down with you, be seen walkin' around with you
Go to the store and buy a brew and rock a rhyme or two
So you can bite it, you taste it, you like it
You think I'm sleepin' on you? Please, don't even try it
The name is Latifah, the scene, it is mine
The 45 King keeps the beat and the time while I
Rock to the rhythm and keep it blowin' out
So don't try to turn me inside out

[Chorus]
Latifah is the name you love
Flyin' through rhymes like a dove
Slappin' suckers with a glove
Challenge me and you will burn
Yes, in the fire, you will burn
[Verse 2]
It's oh, so simply done
When I find that I have to run
Lyrics to music by the King of Swing, The 45 King
The words we bring, I write and sing
'Cause I am Latifah, the Queen, of course
Don't try to get yours off because the cause is lost
Mark conducts the beat, I watch it hit them
Won't you chill? I don't need another victim
To add to the list of aggravation
Subtractin' suckers like a math computation
We are not teachin' pupils and subjects with no scruples
This is a King and Queen creation
So hello, hello, hello, and how you doin'?
Forget the small talk, now it's time for me to ruin
Those who don't believe in what I'm sayin'
When I put up the wall of words, ain't no way into my Queendom (Queendom)
Controlled by me
The heir to the throne is the Ruler Lord Ramsey
The Ruler Lord, to him, there is no equal
He grab grenades and start bombin' people, huh
Don't listen to me to figure me out
Because you can't turn my mind inside out

[Chorus]
Latifah is the name you love
Flyin' through rhymes like a dove
Slappin' suckers with a glove
Challenge me and you will burn
Yes, in the fire, you will burn
[Verse 3]
Rhyming's not a question of one's superiority
But rather how you delegate the use of your authority
I know who you are and I know who you are to me
But I came here just to party (To party)
If it's a show you want, the show is live
And if it's trouble you seek, I have arrived
When Mark requests my approval, I nod
And after each and every single rhyme, I thank God
Although a taste of my body would soothe you
I give you just my voice and watch the rhythm move you
The method of my lyrics make the funky people feel it
And Lord have mercy on those who try to steal it
Latifah is a name meaning delicate and sensitive
But I have no problem formulatin' sentences
To break you down to the ground
I won't use violence, the color of this is brown
And I am down, but never never down and out
So don't try to turn me inside out

[Chorus]
Latifah is the name you love
Flyin' through rhymes like a dove
Slappin' suckers with a glove
Challenge me and you will burn
Yes, in the fire, you will burn
[Outro]
Jah know? Becah wah
Music, 45 King
Music, Latifah the Queen
Music, domination supreme and run
Irie, say in the fire, you will burn (Come now)
Say in the fire, you will burn (Say Jah)
In the fire, you will burn
45 King of Swing will make you burn
45 King of Swing will make you burn
