[00:17.907]The ladies will kick it the rhyme that is wicked
[00:19.969]Those that don't know how to be pros get evicted
[00:22.158]A woman can bear you break you take you
[00:24.369]Now it's time to rhyme can you relate to
[00:26.705]A sister **** enough to make you holler and scream
[00:29.575]Ayo let me take it from here Queen
[00:31.188]Excuse me but I think I'm about do
[00:33.002]To get into precisely what I am about to do
[00:34.907]I'm conversating to the folks that have no whatsoever clue
[00:38.124]So listen very carefully as I break it down for you
[00:39.330]Merrily merrily merrily merrily hyper happy overjoyed
[00:41.672]Pleased with all the beats and rhymes my sisters have employed
[00:43.852]Slick and smooth throwing down the sound totally a yes
[00:46.109]Let me state the position: Ladies first, yes? (Yes)
[00:53.781]Believe me when I say being a woman is great, you see
[00:56.035]I know all the fellas out there will agree with me
[00:58.064]Not for being one but for being with one
[01:00.220]Because when it's time for loving it's the woman that gets some
[01:02.563]Strong, stepping, strutting, moving on
[01:05.343]Rhyming, cutting, and not forgetting
[01:08.011]We are the ones that give birth
[01:09.251]To the new generation of prophets because it's Ladies First
[01:12.118]I break into a lyrical freestyle
[01:13.563]Grab the mic, look into the crowd and see smiles
[01:15.892]Cause they see a woman standing up on her own two
[01:18.094]Sloppy slouching is something I won't do
[01:20.570]Some think that we can't flow (can't flow)
[01:23.127]Stereotypes, they got to go (got to go)
[01:25.362]I'm a mess around and flip the scene into reverse
[01:27.857](With what?) With a little touch of "Ladies First"
[02:04.873]Who said the ladies couldn't make it, you must be blind
[02:07.410]If you don't believe, well here, listen to this rhyme
[02:09.577]Ladies first, there's no time to rehearse
[02:11.844]I'm divine and my mind expands throughout the universe
[02:14.188]A female rapper with the message to send the
[02:16.342]Queen Latifah is a perfect specimen
[02:18.420]My sister, can I get some?
[02:20.755]Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb
[02:23.062]Yo, praise me not for simply being what I am
[02:25.372]Born in L-O-N-D-O-N and sound American
[02:27.653]You dig exactly where I'm coming from
[02:29.720]You want righteous rhyming, Imma give you some
[02:31.638]To enable you to aid yourself and get paid
[02:34.017]And the material that has no meaning I wish to slay
[02:36.419]Pay me every bit of your attention
[02:38.167]Like mother, like daughter, I would also like to mention
[02:40.348]I wish for you to bring me to, bring me to the rhythm
[02:42.525]Of which is now systematically given
[02:44.956]Desperately stressing I'm the daughter of a sister
[02:46.924]Who's the mother of a brother who's the brother of another
[02:49.329]Plus one more, all four
[02:51.029]Have a job to do, we doing it
[02:52.486]Respect due, to the mother who's the root of it
[02:54.266]And next up is me, the M-O-N-I-E L-O-V-E
[02:56.875]And I'm first cause I'm a L-A-D-I-E
[02:58.861]Contact and in fact, the style, it gets harder
[03:00.953]Cooling on the scene with my European partner
[03:03.083]Laying down track after track, waiting for the climax
[03:06.048]When I get there, that's when I tax
[03:07.740]The next man, or the next woman
[03:09.889]It doesn't make a difference, keep the competition coming
[03:12.417]And I'll recite the chapter in verse
[03:14.565]The title of this recital is "Ladies First"
