Midnight At The Oasis |
| Queen Latifah |
| Yo what’s up this is Queen Latifah in the house |
| Definetely representin Jersey on the love love |
| Coolin' in the county; |
| shoot |
| But damn I miss home |
| I can’t. |
| forget New Jersey |
| Verse 1: Queen Latifah |
| When I think of home I think of a place where theres no over-flowin |
| And all my family and peeps I knew when I was growin |
| Mommy and daddy made me proud to in Owens |
| So for me to keep goin, I would become |
| Her eminental royal highness |
| The Queen Latifah; |
| no doubt; |
| one of New Jersey’s finest |
| So, said it all |
| Get up on all of my own |
| Cause Jersey’s what I think about when I think of home |
| Don’t let know one get close to you except the chosen |
| Stick with the ones who meant the most to you |
| When you were broke and blue, that’s how fam do |
| That’s how you stay true around these snakes |
| That freakin' smile when they hate you |
| I’m quick to take the ride down for in-town |
| Just another day living on a down |
| My experience legit, my rhymes is on hit |
| It’s mad truth to the room where we the shit; |
| I can’t forget |
| Verse 2: Queen Latifah |
| I used to work at Burger King but after takin orders |
| I used to take the path to Latin Quarters across the waters |
| Where I learned to do the Who, yo, I couldn’t stop |
| I brought it back around the way to show the peple on my block |
| Teacher, teacher, tell me how you do it |
| It looks so simple like that there’s nothin to it |
| So, we meet at Irvan’s and after school I run |
| To the wall of Brookmore boots, there was Solamon |
| I had a talent for getting up for gear |
| A petty thief, small time crook of the year |
| But I chilled cause I had bigger dreams than to steal |
| And Ramsey came for me and Patchy to put our voices on a reel |
| And I could hear myself on the radio |
| 45 King Special Red Alert Show |
| Cause that’s what life was all about to me |
| All E-E flavor you did it, represent Jersey |
| Verse 3: Queen Latifah |
| I think about my mom and my brothers when I’m all swoll |
| Shock, Kim, when I’m all swoll |
| My baby sister. |
| when I’m all swoll |
| Hostan, when I’m all swoll |
| Ill-Town, when I all swoll |
| Jill-Town, J. C, when I’m all swoll |
| To so on, when I’m all swoll |
| Recognize the whole mama soul |
| We got Naughty |
| In another words we got Nicky |
| We got Redman, the Order Facts and Whitney |
| Bruce Springsteen, and a house ah blacks |
| Shaquille O’Neal, oh he’ll catch rack |
| Tisha Campbell, Jerry Lewis, Tony Bennett |
| Back spin, or spin it |
| Thursday peppermint and I’m in it |
| Shag do’s, I does no fo’s in the spot |
| Cause them peeps is my peeps and my back is got |
| Nuf' respect to your burough, your block |
| You’re black; |
| I love to see us move as a flock |
| Unscrapped, against each other |
| No body armor |
| Nobody harms a hair on a head, everything calmer |
| We ghetto stars and fools |
| We paid the dues |
| We made the blues |
| So come on with the come on |
| And get down with the get down |
| I’m down with my hometown sound |
