Princess of the Posse

Lyrics

[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.
