1:14Grab the mic look into
1:15The crowd and see smiles
1:16'Cause they see a woman
1:17Standing up on her own two
1:18Sloppy slouching is something I won't do

1:22Flow stereotypes they got to go
1:25I'm a mess around and flip
1:27The scene into reverse
1:27With what With a little
1:29Touch of ladies first
2:05Who said the ladies couldn't make it
2:07You must be blind
2:07If you don't believe
2:08Well here listen to this rhyme
2:10Ladies first there's
2:11No time to rehearse
2:12I'm divine and my mind
2:13Expands throughout the universe

2:15Message to send the
2:16Queen Latifah is a perfect specimen
2:18My sister can I get some
2:20Sure Monie Love grab the mic and get dumb
