I ain't playing  you know what I'm saying?
 This ain't the best you've ever hear coming from a female MC
 But you know what I mean? (Hail to the Queen!)
 This MC stands for "Microphone Commando"
 When I command that you take a hand
 And throw it up in the air  yeah  just like that now
 Chill  and watch me rap cause I'm flowing (Flowing)
 Just like water I slaughter (Slaughter)
 A battle, put me in it, I win it
 The mission is music and rhythm
 Rhythm backed by words, all in my system
 System by techniques, techniques I got my heart in
 Heart into the music, music I take part in
 One try, one God, and one destiny
 Just dance for me

 "Dance to the music" (Repeat 2x)

 Now understand that you must (dance) because this is a beat to clap to
 My brother Lance said "Latifah you got to make them get up off their feet"
 So I put my rhyme to a DJ Mark beat
 Ample samples, this for example
 Are made by the 45 King, so cancel
 Your plans of moving to the front lines
 He's a DJ, producer, and mind you a friend of mine
 I hop, dip, and spend with the children
 So get down with the sound and you will lend
 To let me bring while I bring
 Queen Latifah to the 45 King, creating
 A new style in the name of the Flavor Unit
 That's the way we like it, so I'm doing it
 So if you want to know what the plan is to be
 I order you to dance for me

 "Dance to the music" (Repeat 2x)

 My voice is your choice at a stage show
 I do it for the Flavor Unit to make you say "ho"
 With powerful lyrics I'm armed
 To let a sucker step up and get bombed
 By a beat created by my producer
 To break you out of the stuff that you're used to
 This here is a moment of truth
 So take the record to the DJ booth
 And let's start this, let the beat get dumb
 Cause I'm a shake it all night and then some
 People dancing, I can spot 'em
 When I take control, you know I got 'em
 Stop the music? That's not a question
 The Flavor Unit takes no suggestions
 If you're not on the dance tip, here's your chance to be
 I order you to dance for me

 "Dance to the music" (Repeat 6x
