Just Brooklyn is where I'm from But I'm resting in Studio City for the fun, If you don't understand just say you don't(nah!)

It's crazy how I get you captured with my tactics, I got many witnesses who can back this Ruffnecks from New York to LA Been down with me since Poor Georgie. It's '96, it's all about show and prove And I'm about to make the ill type moves, I guide the beat and ride it well And if you take a look it ain't hard to tell that I Cold rock a party in a b-girl stance I rock on the floor make the fellas wanna dance I be the shit and it's all good and if you understood Would you get out my shit, please let me be, I don't see why, you KGB Why you gotta be all up on me like that, Trying to get over like a fat rat, But I understand, I'm a woman in the land of hip-hop And the shit don't stop, It goes on, on, on, on You see the shit don't stop till the break of dawn And now who makes it liver than a hip-hop, scuba diver, Chillin with a pina colada, Kidada hooked me up with Tommy now I got a lot of gear From everywhere that I'd like to share (yeah right!) But I'd rather do Kani, Don't ask why! 5001, my son gets shit Done All on the catwalk, what they've ever done for you You betta get down with your real crew, Cause I ride the beat and I ride it well And if you take a look it ain't hard to tell that I Cold rock a party in a b-girl stance I rock on the floor make the fellas wanna dance I be the shit and it's all good and if you understood To the L, to the Y, and the T, to the E Rock a party and rock a party and rock a Party int the B- girl stance.
