[Queen Latifah]
 The ladies will kick it  the rhyme that is wicked
 Those that don't know how to be pros get evicted
 A woman can bear you  break you  take you
 Now it's time to rhyme  can you relate to
 A sister dope enough to make you holler and scream

 [Monie Love]
 Ayo  let me take it from here  Queen...
 Excuse me but I think I'm about do
 To get into precisely what I am about to do
 I'm conversating to the folks that have no whatsoever clue
 So listen very carefully as I break it down for you
 Merrily merrily merrily merrily hyper happy overjoyed
 Pleased with all the beats and rhymes my sisters have employed
 Slick and smooth throwing down the sound totally a yes
 Let me state the position: Ladies first, yes? (Yes)

 (Yeah, there's going to be some changes in here)

 [Monie Love]
 Believe me when I say being a woman is great, you see
 I know all the fellas out there will agree with me
 Not for being one but for being with one
 Because when it's time for loving it's the woman that gets some
 Strong, stepping, strutting, moving on
 Rhyming, cutting, and not forgetting
 We are the ones that give birth
 To the new generation of prophets because it's Ladies First

 [Queen Latifah]
 I break into a lyrical freestyle
 Grab the mic, look into the crowd and see smiles
 Cause they see a woman standing up on her own two
 Sloppy slouching is something I won't do
 Some think that we can't flow (can't flow)
 Stereotypes, they got to go (got to go)
 I'm a mess around and flip the scene into reverse
 (With what?) With a little touch of "Ladies First"

 Who said the ladies couldn't make it, you must be blind
 If you don't believe, well here, listen to this rhyme
 Ladies first, there's no time to rehearse
 I'm divine and my mind expands throughout the universe
 A female rapper with the message to send the
 Queen Latifah is a perfect specimen

 [Monie Love]
 My sister, can I get some?

 [Queen Latifah]
 Sure, Monie Love, grab the mic and get dumb

 [Monie Lovie]
 Yo, praise me not for simply being what I am
 Born in L-O-N-D-O-N and sound American
 You dig exactly where I'm coming from
 You want righteous rhyming, Imma give you some
 To enable you to aid yourself and get paid
 And the material that has no meaning I wish to slay
 Pay me every bit of your attention
 Like mother, like daughter, I would also like to mention
 I wish for you to bring me to, bring me to the rhythm
 Of which is now systematically given
 Desperately stressing I'm the daughter of a sister
 Who's the mother of a brother who's the brother of another
 Plus one more; all four
 Have a job to do, we doing it
 Respect due, to the mother who's the root of it
 And next up is me, the M-O-N-I-E L-O-V-E
 And I'm first cause I'm a L-A-D-I-E

 [Queen Latifah]
 Contact and in fact, the style, it gets harder
 Cooling on the scene with my European partner
 Laying down track after track, waiting for the climax
 When I get there, that's when I tax
 The next man, or the next woman
 It doesn't make a difference, keep the competition coming
 And I'll recite the chapter in verse
 The title of this recital is "Ladies First
