Swizz beatz
(Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?)
I introduce to you
(Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?)
The Queen Bee
(Where Brooklyn at? Where Brooklyn at?)
She hold the crown in this game
(Where Brooklyn at?)
Ladies and gentleman
It's the worlds famous, Lil' Kim Queen Bee
I am who I am you just can't change me
No matter what you do you can't take the hood out me
People been around me for years don't know shit about me
Dedicated like Muslims makin' selat
People steady try to make me into somethin' I'm not
That's why I had to cut the grass so I could see the snakes
Copped the house on the hill so I could see the lakes
What you thought I'm a girl couldn't make it alone
Time to turn the heat up and get back in the zone
One day my hairs orange the next day it's green
The trendsetter's back on your TV screen
This is who I am
(This is who I am)
This is what I be
(This is what I be)
People runnin' 'round
(People runnin' 'round)
Tryna change me
(Tryna change me)
Oh no, no, no
(Oh no, no, no)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
Oh no, no, no
(Oh no, no, no)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
About five feet even kinda small in the waist
Rap's sex symbol real pretty in the face
So what I got even bigger titties in the lakes
Still a sophisticated lady with millions in the safe
Switch up flows like I switch up my clothes
More than Wilt Chamberlain switched up his hoes
I'm a profectionist had to stay on my toes
Anything goes when you play with the pro's
I got everybody rappin' about jewelry and cars
Lil' Kim give you a platinum sixteen bars
I'm the real thing y'all kareokee stars
This is who I am
This is who I am
(This is who I am)
This is what I be
(This is what I be)
People runnin' 'round
(People runnin' 'round)
Tryna change me
(Tryna change me)
Oh no, no, no
(Oh no, no, no)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
Oh no, no, no
(Oh no, no, no)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
I'd rather be dead and rich than broke and livin'
Without rap I probably would been sellin' dope in prison
With some vera wang khakis and nolteychucks
Suckin' the warden's dick in the back of the bus
But God made me what I am today
So I say things y'all afraid to say
Just 'cause you got a head start, that don't make you strongest
He who burns last burns the longest
Fuck what they say about me
Fact is I'm the legacy of B I G
The queen of New York now let's get this straight
I'm about to be elected mayor of 718
This is who I am
(This is who I am)
This is what I be
(This is what I be)
People runnin' 'round
(People runnin' 'round)
Tryna change me
(Tryna change me)
Oh no, no, no
(Oh no, no, no)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
Oh no, no, no
(Oh no, no, no)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
This is who I am
(This is who I am)
This is what I be
(This is what I be)
People runnin' 'round
(People runnin' 'round)
Tryna change me
(Tryna change me)
Oh no, no, no
(Oh no, no, no)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
Oh no, no, no
(Oh no, no, no)
No, no, no
(No, no, no)
