Lyrics Nature Of A Sista' - Queen Latifah

Nature Of A Sista'

Coming from the bitty bitty bottom of the basement
The first
They want to make it to the top too quickly
So I take all the time
Take a look at the flow of the future
If you can’t shake to it, then it don’t suit ya
Break off, back off, beef off, bust off
That is the worst,
Bad this, bad that, who’s bad enough?
For those who are bad, then batter up
I acquainted this rap with my index
So, baby, come on with a rag and some Windex
I’m stepping the step tryna meet me there
I’m avoiding all political fanfare
If you down take a pounding from ya fist-a
For the sound of the nature of a sista
Who’s a king, who’s a queen, who’s tryna bang?
I see myself as a queen but it ain’t for rank
This for all, not one, not for income
But for knowing who and where we descend from
I kick off with a choke, I come crazy new
They call me Mama Zulu but I won’t baby you
I’m not the type to look for a man with cash
But the only thing you get if you’re broke’s a
I dip, then switch, what floor is this?
I go higher than a fire, try to diss
This is a little of my
Rippin tracks, whippin
Right on flow, a few floors ago
I see suites instead of concrete, so
If you down take a pounding from ya fist-a
For the sound of the nature of a sista
Here’s a knick-knack, sit back, hold ya hat
Here’s a big rap, ya got close now get back
I got an army bustin through the enemy’s wall
My thoughts on the situation was «fuck em all»
Salt and pepper said it was time to grow
So me and Spin did em in, now time to go
Yo yo grabbed him, he said «hey, diddle diddle»
While I out of the middle
Sisters in action, strong, real, still complete
I say «what up» cause you can’t come or compete
The La, the Ti Fah booms like a speaker
I hold more soul than a sneaker
Don’t ask if I’m fast, I come swift, sis
Cause I’m passing an ass if you with this
If you down take a pounding from ya fist-a
For the sound of the nature of a sista
Sista
