One Mo’ Time
Come!
Well my name is Latifah (yeah)
Well my name is Latifah (yeah)
Well my name is Latifah (yeah)
Well my name is Latifah
I am a bill, yes, I'm only a bill
(Yo yo yo, La, chill
The Nature wanna hear some of that
Up-to date, New Swing stuff)
Aight, I got you, here we go one more time
(Kick it)
To all the coons, I say "Hi!"-de-ho
Produced by the mighty pro
Crazy Kay Gee kickin' hit's like Karate Joe
Always with the mind every time to
Blame it on the Whitey so
See just Black and White?
There's no room for that in the '90s, yo
I'm still a bill and still checkin' mics
One-two a whole year later
Made you wait 'til the album's through
So many controversies over the
Language in rap
It wasn't a cuss that started a fuss
Now that's just a Black thing
Figure of speech is one thing
But enough of those reruns
Callin' sisters this and tricks
You gotta be one to see one
And sisters, brothers ain't all to blame
This may help 'Cause no respect is given to
Those who cannot respect self, see?
The queen has spoken
Yeah, I'm yokin', my head is hot
My style is like me shootin' hoops
Yeah, I better drop for the last time
It's rag time I go for mine
I was leanin' towards a reason
To get you steamin' one more time
One more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A T-IF-A-H, yeah
(say what? say what?) one more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A T-IF-A-H, yeah
(say what? say what?) one more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A T-IF-A-H, yeah
(say what? say what?) one more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A T-IF-A-H, yeah
(say what? say what?) one more time
A little taste from a bird's eye view
Of all the styles I might do
Don't have it down to a "tee"
I have it down to a Q
U know the E-E-N is close friends
So they come too you ever step in the way?
You get stepped on and stepped through
The Flavor Unit's come and then
We must make room for all the flavor's here
This is one of my all-time flavor-ite tunes
Dissin' the Latifah? What this for?
You'd better off rammin' your head
Against a brick wall, seagal
Time to rag that asset
From corner to cassette
Chumps come try to trash it and
See how far that gets
On the rhymin' tip, I ain't no joke
Singin' tip? Golden throat!
I hold a note so long, here's a ransom note
Prepare for war the worst
Who's first sharin' a
Glock, lick shot from Africa
Bust 'em at America! I never bite my tongue
This is what some long nights have done
Bitin', to me
Don't even sound like it might be fun
Start with a change of heart
And save all that sorry, child
I'm like PE, I get bold, buckwild
Safari style for the last time
It's ragtime I go for mine
I was leanin' towards a reason
To get you steamin' one more time
One more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A T-IF-A-H, yeah
(say what? say what?) one more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A T-IF-A-H, yeah
(say what? say what?) one more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A T-IF-A-H, yeah
(well, the name is Latifah)
(say what? say what?)
(well, the name is Latifah) one more time
I'm the Q-U-E-E-N, L-A T-IF-A-H, yeah
(well, the name is Latifah)
(say what? say what?) one more time
Put a freeze on your jolly raps
I ain't a dizzy dolly that
Takes a line and splatterin'
No happenin' when it's probably wack
Don't approach the queen like
She's a skeeze 'Cause I am way past that
Makin' my own, savin' my own
Is why y'all always find me stacked
Keepin' my cool, speakin' my mind
And givin' it all I got, alright?
Bustin' buffoons, peekin' to find
Who's goin' left and playin' right
Lovin' my crew, bringin' 'em up
Leadin' 'em all to somethin' great
Want to be sure one may not have
But since I'm strong my clique is straight
And I could never go out like an exit
'Cause my fans stick behind me
And they wouldn't expect it
I'm level headed, head-to head
I'm headed straight to Harlem
Though I'm not dreaded, dread the dred
If they're not there, you call 'em
I need my brothers and sisters
With me, standing hand to hand
Band to band, we're off land to land and
Buyin' much property, properly, pronto
Please
That's the only way a Black business starts
You see name callin' hasn't fallen into
What I'm runnin'
I wouldn't diss another sister 'less
She had it comin'
One time, I'm chill when I sing it
You think that you can swing
It? Then bring it
