Dance for Me

Dane, dance

It's a fact I'll attest to mess around and I'll arrest you
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?

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
Dance to the music
Dane, dance

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
Dance to the music

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
Dance to the music

Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
Dance to the music
