Woman For The Job Lyrics

[ CHORUS ]

KRS, Latifah, don't forget

Mash up any male or female artist on the set

Mi comin with mi style, mi take your title and your rep

The BDP Posse and Flavor Unit in effect

[ VERSE 1 ]

It's Queen Latifah with the R.E. Posse, Flavor Unit sound

Broken down by the Boogie Down (Productions)

Slip and slide to a Sly & Robbie instrumental

And also as an indicental

The music to which vocals you know I have done

Produced by (KRS-One)

One tribe, one guide, and one destiny

You want the best of me?

Death to those who testin me

Cause to test is to try to conquer

But me, I catch em (1-2-3) and do an encore

Get paid by music, no money to the mob

Cause I'm the woman for the job

[ CHORUS ]

[ KRS-One: ]

Flavor Unit - assemble!

BDP Crew - assemble!

Sly & Robbie - wheel up!

[ VERSE 2 ]

Once again, it's time for Queen Latifah to return

Because to live is to learn

I learn a lotta suckers out there thought we slept

Now they give us (nuff respect!)

I'ma get loose inside this queendom

Suckers tried to duck, it didn't work, cause I seen them

I'm not out to shoot anybody out the box, but it's my scene

(I know just what you mean)

Woman called Latifah is a wise one

There are no others like me, I'm a prized one

Although they try to measure up, I outsize them slobs

Cause I'm the woman for the job

[ CHORUS ]

[ VERSE 3 ]

Intelligence captivates your mind

While the sound of my voice detains and occupies your ears

The thought and the message speak clearly through the vocals

Your heart is breathtaken, and it's bringin you to tears

The t-i-p (tip) That is what you are on the m-u-s-i-c

(Music) That is what you want to own, but you could never be

The one to take my off the throne

Your mind's like a child's, my dear, and I am grown

So just forget it, cause while you wanna do it, I did it

Also admit it, if you can hit it, you're with it

Show me your chest, you musta flown over a coockoo's nest

No buts about it, my life you wanna out it? I doubt it

Suckers don't play me, cause suckers I do vamp

Last time you challenged me, you cancelled due to cramps

Allegedly, really you weren't readily

Able to rock a rhyme so smooth, so steadily

But next time you better be

Cause these appointments ain't for nothin

They're only for coolin, crushin, and solo-bumrushin

KRS-One's creatin music like an Einstein

Rollin up the rhythm to keep the pace of my rhyme

Me chosen by super musicians, Sly and Rob

Cause I'm the woman for the job

[ CHORUS ]
