Queen Latifah — If You Dont Know

[Verse 1] Happy new year, it's a new year And I'mma tell you what I want you to do here You gotta get up, you gotta get down It's a jam and if you're square, you better get round I got the Flavor, I got the Unit of 10 deadly MCs who fine tune it Of the composer of this controversial literature Stop! I think they call it hip-hop The Q-to-the-U, the E, the E, the N The L-A-T-I-F-A-H, I know it's hard to comprehend But I'm identified as Latifah, you know? The one that grabbed the mic and blew the speakers So, so slide on the rhythm, 'cause it's slippery Step on this here dance floor and see if you can get with me I'mma rip stupidly for those who need to be reassured As Nevelle gets funky on the keyboards [Chorus] If you don't know where to find a party You wanna learn how to shake that body I got it here, this is your year And you can do it, right here, right now [Verse 2] I'm Queen Latifah, and define (?) I'm anointing you Blessing your mind with rhymes from an African point of view Wanna see your neck turn in the direction I'm pointing to All the way live, yes, that is the way that I come to you When I start it off, I had to play the right tracks and See the descrimination of the ones they call Black and Indeed I was not the one to go for it I put the pen to the pad and got a show for it I got the Flavor Unit airing, always watching out I do not cuss because my mommy said to watch my mouth I keep you spinning, funking, jumping like a hula hoop After we put the proper rhyme to a pumping loop Now if you get down with the get down you'll be gettin' down This is a hit and oh so hitting, and splitting sound My lyrics added to some music make a perfect blend But I think it's time I let the singing part come in Come on! [Chorus] If you don't know where to find a party You wanna learn how to shake that body I got it here, this is your year And you can do it, right here, right now [Verse 3] Well what do you know (What do you know?) The record's almost done I didn't know! (You didn't know?) Well I was having too much fun To the listeners, you know I thank you all If you're like me, I know you had a ball It brings me joy to see the party people working out In case you didn't know, that's what this record's all about So when you dance, remember to be positive As we take it all the way to the bridge [Bridge] Come on and dance This is your chance, you might find romance Be what you want to be Baby, get crazy, come on get on the dance floor For all you wanting more [Chorus] If you don't know where to find a party You wanna learn how to shake that body I got it here, this is your year And you can do it, right here, right now [Chorus] If you don't know where to find a party You wanna learn how to shake that body I got it here, this is your year And you can do it, right here, right now
