Alright listen I'm back again cause that's what you required of 
Me steady rhyming and I'm so sick and tired of 
Being forced to put suckers in their place 
You make me mad enough to punch you in the face 
But I'm not trying so never sound like I don't bone to pick with you 
Show and prove that you can stand on your own two 
I speak the poetry dissing those who keep on quoting me 
Try to play me cease it, you don't know me 
So smile in my face, behind my back take a line or two 
I'm not an idiot, so who you think you lying to? 
Queen Latifah's here to lay the law down 
So speed it up or shake it around because it's a showdown 
The 45 King is arising, suprising, hypnotising star, he's up to par 
So I hope you've prepared yourself for what you're in for 
This is Latifah's Law 

BMW's and gold rope chains don't impress me 
Or get you closer to the point you can undress me 
Get skeezed, you nose will bleed, that's how they live life 
Prepare to feel the wrath of the giver of all life 
Fire and desire make you go a little higher 
When I grab the wire of the mic 
And get hype, I'm sorry you sound dot 
Cause I roll like the homicide squad 
You must be broke and, hoping that I'm soft but I'm dope and 
Left you in the litter to consider coping with 
Life, it's trife yeah, but these things happen 
You need to make it better, stop trying to be the mack again 
Get a grip on the African way 
Cause there's a sucker born every day 
Crime's the way for you to see what the Queen saw 
And this is Latifah's law 

Now DJ Mark made up a beat that he can bring you 
And I of course supply the rhyme that you can swing to 
The Flavor Unit keeps all, and keeps a way to band 
And slides keep the hardcore fall, cause I'm heavy-handed 
Whip out a .45 caliber pen and begin 
A funky message from beginning to end 
Peace be to Africa, can't forget my other land 
Won't fulfill my heart unless I speak about the motherland 
You say you're living right, but we know it's nonsense 
In case you forgot, just check your conscience 
At showtime, I blow lines, you don't get yours, I get mine 
Your showtimes, you behind, the Queen Latifah divine 
Rule number one: don't step across the line that I drew 
Number two: don't take credit for something that you didn't do 
Number three: check your heart, every man has a call 
It's time for me to go, but I'll be back, y'all
