Queen Latifah
The Pros

[Intro: Daddy-O]
And this one, the DJ calls "The Pros," the story goes, you never know
Action, come now
Rappers should unite under one crown
And realize that we all under one fam
Go back, go back, go back, go back (Easy, easy, easy, easy)
Easy, maestro
This one is for the competitors, sing

[Verse 1: Queen Latifah]
I stepped into a basement party in Brooklyn
The brothers was lookin' as soon as I put a foot in
A female walked up to me and said, "Latifah, bust a line
I don't think you're on the strength, show me the time"
I said, "If you really want to do this, we can do this, fine
Take six paces and begin to rhyme"
As soon as she attempted to make a sound
I ate her up with the verb, broke her down with the noun
'Cause I hate when someone challenges me but cannot balance with me
I get annoyed when they can't go blow for blow
I get pissed when I hear the lyrics a sucker brings

[Verse 2: Daddy-O & Queen Latifah]
Haha, I was thinkin' the same thing
Well, I was approached by a whole damn group of 'em
Rhyme fiends, biters, and bums
Took me kinda light, said they wanted to fight
I kinda got uptight, you didn't do what I think you did? Yeah, right
Bash went the first, smash went the next one
What about the third? He started, he started to run
But to his surprise, his feet must have slipped
'Cause I snapped that neck before the second step (Oh, snap)
You see you may speculate, but everybody knows
Not one amateur can deal with the pros
[Chorus: Daddy-O]
These are the pros
Coming live now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more, then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics then just say, "Bah, bah"

[Verse 3: Daddy-O]
There was a time that a man could go
Anyplace, anywhere without a Rambo
But now me have to keep me pistol loaded with rhyme
Have to deal with bad-breath biters that step out of line
So when they make a move, them haffi surely get a taste of it
I'm Daddy-O and I don't quit
So feel the flow, y'all, because you're under attack
Of my rhyme, because I'm writin' stiff rhymes in stacks
And four words for the wack, just stay the hell back
'Cause it's a fact if you're wack, you ain't sayin' jack
So we can go rhyme for rhyme if you wish
But eatin' you suckers is my favorite dish
And I warned you suckers if you messed with me
You'll be the next ingredient in my recipe
Start and don't finish, I'll hunt you down
And you can't run forever, so you'll be found
And with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide
How you wanna be eaten, boy, baked or fried?
[Chorus: Daddy-O]
These are the pros
Coming live now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O

If you like the smooth chanted lyrics, then just say, "Bah, bah"
These are the pros
Coming live now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more, then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics, then just say, "Bah, bah"

[Verse 4: Queen Latifah & Daddy-O]
It's Latifah the Queen, pioneers of the mainstream
I flow just like a pro 'cause it's the same thing
Suckers have to realize how foolish they sound
So button your lips and stop tryin' to be down
I caught you out there, how many times? A lot of times
'Cause when it comes to mine, you know I gotta rhyme
Steppin' to the right, to the left
To the best place, well, I have to face
A sucker like a pooh-butt, weak and soft
Ridin' my bra strap, tryna get off
Understand and know that if you wanna go
You'd better be ready to flow 'cause I'm a pro

[Chorus: Daddy-O]
These are the pros
Coming live now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
And if you want to hear some more, then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics, then just say, "Bah, bah"
These are the pros

And if you want to hear some more, then just follow
If you like the smooth chanted lyrics, then just say, "Bah, bah"
[Bridge: Daddy-O, Queen Latifah & Both]
We wax floors with bums, make mocks out of some
Sting 'em hard and watch 'em complain how it stung
Kidnap the babysitter, lock 'em inside a box
Daddy-O and the true blue Queen of rock

[Chorus: Daddy-O]
These are the pros
Coming live now from Queen Latifah and Daddy-O
