Queen Latifah-When you're good to mama

(Voiceover)
And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, 
The keeper of the keys, 
The countess of the clink
the mistress of murderers row,
Matron Mama Morton!

(Queen Latifah)
Ask any of the chickies in my pen
they'll tell you I'm the biggest mother hen. 
I love them all and all of them love me
because the system works, 
the system called reciprocity.

Got a little motto, 
Always sees me through:
"When you're good to Mama, Mama's good to you."

Theres a lot of favours I'm prepared to do,
You do one for Mama, she'll do one for you.

They say that life is tit for tat,
and that's the way I live.
So I deserve a lot of tat
For what I've got to give.

Don't you know that this hand
washes that one too.
When you're good to Mama, Mama's good to you

If you want my gravy
Pepper my Ragu
Spice it up for mama
She'll get hot for you

When they pass that basket
Folks contribute too,
You put in for Mama, 
She'll put out for you

The folks at top the ladder
are the ones the world adores
So boost me up my ladder, kid
and I'll boost you up yours

Lets all stroke together
Like the princeton crew
When your stroking Mama, Mama's stroking you

So whats the one conclusion
I could bring thïs number to - 
When you're good to Mama, Mamas good to you

Queen Latifah-Simply beautiful

If I gave you my love,
I tell you what I'd do
I'd expect a whole lotta love outta you

You gotta be good to me
I'm gonna be good to you
There's a whole lotta things you and I
Could do
Hey hey

Hey hey hey

Simply beautiful simply beautiful simply
Beautiful
Simply beautiful simply beautiful simply
Beauti..
Simply beautiful
Simply beautiful
Simply beautiful
Simply beautiful

What about the way you love me
And the way you squeeze me
Hey
Hey simply beautiful hey

And you get right down it
And the love is getting you through it

Simply beautïful

Queen Latifah-Just another day

(Queen Talking)
We gon take this one over to 275 Paulstand
384 Steuyversant, we gon take it over to
155 Morgan
144 Harrison

Chorus: (1x)
Just Another Day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today, feelin lovely-yay
Just another day, living in the hood
Just another day around the way
Feelin good today
I hear the(gunshot), but I'm here to stay

[Verse 1]
Well it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood
A beautiful day in the neighbor-hood
Can't go wrong, I feel strong and the flavor's good
I'm wit whateva comes my way, hip-hop hooray
Latifah's on vacation, I'm just plain on day to day
I strap out, step out in every direction
Glock, tech's, jimmy hat's, in case I need protection
So I land cruise, play I wanna be's
A kid in the increase gettin jack right in front of me
So I pull the tech close, my finger's on the trigger
Don't wanna get wet, so they step
Cause mine's is slighty bigger
But better yet, I'ma threat, so ya better walk
Or get sketched out in chalk, cause I don't wanna talk
I stay true blue, I'm hopin it's you too
I got the fever for the flava of a??????
So it's back to the block time to play
It's just another day around the way, hey

[Chorus: 1x]

[Verse 2]
Time to chill, hit the hill, uptown let's keep it sight's
Shoot some pool, act a fool, cause it's own tonight
I'm doin the knowledge, it's not easy, easy
Watchin a cop cuff a kid for sellin a clip to a D.T.
But it's home, so I flex, get pressure's off my chest
Slip in a tape, now which hood should I hit next
Stomach ache, had a steak, and take for a bean pie
Get a final call for the brother in a bow-tie
I'm from little kid's, dream, and fiend for fun
Lots of laughter moms, no pops playin wit her son
I pass by a girl wake, they say she died at seven
Hit by a stray, but I pray their's a hood in heaven
Fake brother's claim their's no shame in they're game 
You know my name, show me a real nigga wit a brain
Too it's back to the block time to play
It's just another day around the way, hey

[Chorus: 1x]

[Verse 3]
You know I gotta get props, I can't stop, wit out y'all
I be nothin, no wreckin, no checkin, no rhymin, no cuttin
No stages from pages, no phones, no beeper's
No reason to put Queen in front of the name Latifah
I come with the real like respectin in rule
Cause me and my peoples around the way remain cool
So it's back to the block time to play
It's just another day, around the wha, around the muthafuckin way

[Chorus untïl fade]

Queen Latifah-I don't wanna hurt you

(Latif speaks)
Baby, you know you mean the world to me
That's why I can't keep you in a situation
where I can hurt you
Can I talk to you?
(Girl speaks)
Okay...

VERSE 1:
First of all, I wanna tell you 
that all I do is have love for you
No matter we go separate ways, 
I'll still ride for you
'Cause you're the truth
Can't be replaced
You the type of girl that make
a nigga go out and get the ring
But the problem is
I'm not positive that I can give the commitment
that you're asking for
'Cause right now I'm young and though you're the one
I can't guarantee that I can be the one you want

(You want someone who is faithful)
I'm not admitting I can't do it, just dont wanna
put you through it
(If I may happen to see one)
She may holla, I may holla, but I wouldn't wanna
do that to you, no

CHORUS:
Girl, I feel that I'll be cheating you if I continue to see you
'Cause you're not ready to get serious--I'm not 'cause I'm
still curious
See, I'd rather keep it real and tell you how I feel
'Cause I think you're beautiful and I don't wanna hurt you, no

VERSE 2:
See over and over again
I keep on saying to myself
I must be going out my 
mind to not wanna spend more time with her
'Cause I love you more
and to game your heart 
'Cause I know that I'm not ready
(To lock it down full time, settle down
with one dime, spend the rest of my life
with you)
It's better cry now, than hate me later
Trust me I've had a broken heart before 
and I
(I know just how it feels)
And know in time it will heal
(In time it will reveal)
If our love is real, ohh

CHORUS X2

(Trust me girl, I never wanted to,
I never wanted to hurt you) X2

No, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
No, woah, woah, woah, woah

No, yeah

CHORUS
Girl, I feel that I'll be cheating you if I continue to see you
'Cause you're not ready to get serious--I'm not 'cause I'm
still curious...

If I do baby, don't tell you the truth, it will 
only hurt you later, later, oh girl

CHORUS
Girl, I feel that I'll be cheating you if I continue to see you
'Cause you're not ready to get serious--I'm not 'cause I'm
still curïous...

FADE OUT

Queen Latifah-Evil that men do

[Queen Latifah] 
You asked I came so behold the Queen 
Let's add a little sense to the scene 
I'm living positive not out here knocked up 
But the lines are so dangerous I ought to be locked up 
This rhyme doesn't require prime time 
I'm just sharing thoughts of mine 
Back again cause I knew you wanted it 
>From the Latifah with the Queen in front of it 
Dropping bombs you're up in arms, you're puzzled 
The lines will flow like fluid while you're guzzling 
The sip I drop you on a BDP-produced track 
>From KRS to be exact 
It's a Flavor Unit quest that today has me speaking 
Cause it's knowledge I'm seeking 
Enough about myself, I think it's time that I tell you 
About the evil that men do 

Situations, reality, what a concept! 
Nothing ever seems to stay in step 
So today, here is a message to my sisters and brothers 
Here are some things I want to cover 
A woman strives for a better life, but who the hell cares? 
Because she's living on welfare 
I government can't come up with a decent housing plan 
So she's in no man's land 
It's a sucker who tells you you're equal 

[KRS-One] 
You don't need him, Johannasburg's crying for freedom! 

[Queen Latifah] 
We the people hold these truths to be self-evident 

[KRS-One] 
But there's no response from the president 

[Queen Latifah] 
Someone's living the good life, tax-free 
Except for a girl, can't find a way to be crack free 
And that's just part of the message 
I thought I had to send you about the evil that men do 

Tell me, don't you think it's a shame? 
When someone can put a quarter in a video game 
But when a homeless person approaches you on the street 
You can't treat him the same 
It's time to teach the def, the dumb, the blind 
That black-on-black crime only shackles and binds 
You to a doom, a fate worse than death 
But there's still time left 
Stop putting your conscience on cease 
And bring about some type of peace 
Not only in your heart, but also in your mind 
It will benefit all mandkind 
Then there will be one thing that will never stop 
And it's the evïl that men do
