Lyrics

[Intro]
The queen is hyped up
The queen is hyped up
The queen is hyped up
[Intro]
Hey, yo, Manda
The queen is hyped up (What's up, La'?)
Yo, people've been tryin' to get fierce on me
I think it's time I tell them about themselves
Yo, just give it to 'em Safari Style
[Verse 1]
Well, well, well, it's the L-A, the T-I
The F-A-H, you'll see why
The Q-U double E-N
Is the reason I must be myself
What else? Well, fame hasn't got me
Souped up, sellin' out, sloppy or poppy
There's so much to live for, there for
Here's more from a woman
All woman, keep the rumors to yourself
[Verse 2]
The over blown, home grown, not known
Fools who've never shown proof
Let alone own a lot of props
Or a hip hop pop chart
Notch on your clock, this my spot
Now who got the marks? I do
Why you little played out, a-chew (Bless you)
I'm allergic to wack crews
The La, the Ti, the Fah
The queen is up
Throwin' salt that you never seen before
How dare those who talk? We can't have them
Some make me wanna go out with the bat and a magnum
[Verse 3]
But I'm wise, civilized and growin' higher
Judgments from the queen, punishment is the fire
I'm here to make these fools out of liars
You must learn to step and respect the sire
Face the fire
[Verse 4]
Latifah's had it up to here, the frauds are feelin' fear
The sound is playin' like a Q-tip diggin' in your ear
Mama Zula stand for positivity, knowledge and grace
I'll never run my piece to them, I'll take it to your face
Open wide, you're hopin' I'd stutter, stop or maybe choke
Because it's very hard to breathe while La' has got you in a yolk
I'll cut your throat, I'll cut it short and no one's ever gettin' near
Latifah's had it up to here
[Chorus]
Give it to 'em, Queen (Yeah, yeah)
Give it to 'em, Queen (I got it)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Yeah, yeah)
Give it to 'em, Queen (I got it)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Yeah, yeah)
Give it to 'em, Queen (I got it)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Yeah, yeah)
The queen L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command
[Verse 5]
Some of these commercial entertainers
Are commercially a pain to my mind and my behind, tryna diss Dana
Bumpin' me off because the queen has now reached a certain plateau
All I do is boo and say, "Is that so?"
Talk is cheap and if talk got any cheaper
They'd be sellin' Nike tongues instead of sneakers
Que sera sera, blazey blah, etcetera
This is a scene from the queen La La
[Verse 6]
Lovely and lyrically loose but lady like
I'm too slick to slip or get tricked by the shady type
Chumps, y'all talk and still wonder how loose I got
When I'm in town I give the roosters booster shots
Breaks, breaks, face, face, never, never waste, waste
Your mind on a rhyme that'll get thrown in your front and face
I'll cut your throat, I'll cut it short and no one's ever gettin' near
Latifah's had it up to here
[Chorus]
Give it to 'em, Queen (Who got it?)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Latifah)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Who got it?)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Latifah)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Who got it?)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Latifah)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Who got it?)
The queen L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command
[Verse 7]
Royal and loyal, face the fire, boy-o
You wouldn't get the time of day, so make way
Hey, silence I say, lay low and have a cold one
'Cause the whippin' I'm dishin' is an old one
I threw some soul into my mornin' bowl then I rolled
I took your gold and stopped your single 'cause it never ever sold
Matter of fact, it never even got the time to sprout
So you could never give me body or come in my house
[Verse 8]
The flavor unit is doin' it, back again this year
How many flavors of the flavor can you love to hear?
Feel the force of my holocaust, I'm starin' at you
Put in a bid on who will fall, I'm sure to match you
Snatch your stature
You're broken, looks more like a fracture
Catch that rapper, Latifah will be back to crash you
Go buy a heart, 'cause from the start I told you no one's gettin' near
Latifah's had it up to here
[Verse 9]
Give it to 'em, Queen (Who got it?)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Latifah)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Who got it?)
Give it to 'em, Queen (The flavor unit)
Give it to 'em, Queen (I got it)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Latifah)
[Outro]
Give it to 'em, Queen (DJ AD)
Give it to 'em, Queen (Ease off)
Give it to 'em, Queen
(L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command) Give it to 'em, Queen
Give it to 'em, Queen
(L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command) Give it to 'em, Queen
Give it to 'em, Queen
(L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command) Give it to 'em, Queen
Give it to 'em, Queen
(L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command) Give it to 'em, Queen
[Outro]
L-A-T-I-F-A-H in command
