a$hslayy - track 1:woman in hip hop lyrics

(upbeat boom+bap beat drops)
(verse 1)
from the bronx streets, back in the early days
where the djs spun and the crowds were in a haze
roxanne shanté on the mic, ain’t afraid to speak
started the first rap beef, showed the world we ain’t weak
then came latifah, with a queen’s decree
dropped “ladies first,” for all the world to see
said respect was the minimum, that’s her number one rule
showed ’em a woman on the mic could be raw and cool
see, they put us in a box, said our place was in the back
but we grabbed the mic and showed ’em that’s a false track
the whole time, women were there, writing the history
now you see us on the throne, it’s not a mystery
(chorus)
she a queen in the cypher, not a backup singer
got the flow and the fire, a lyrical bringer
no matter the style, from the trap to the beat
a woman in hip+hop, can’t be beat
(verse 2)
they wanna talk about the curves, the drip, the style
but can’t keep up with the bars, it’s been a while
missy flipped the script with her creative mind
made us “work it,” left the competition behind
lauryn brought the soul, with a message so deep
taught us lessons for our spirit, secrets we still keep
lil’ kim set the standard, with a confidence so bold
rewrote all the rules, and stories were told
so don’t call me a female rapper, just call me a rapper
’cause my talent is the fire, and my rhymes are the clapper
(chorus)
she a queen in the cypher, not a backup singer
got the flow and the fire, a lyrical bringer
no matter the style, from the trap to the beat
a woman in hip+hop, can’t be beat
(bridge)
yeah, the game is still changing, but we’re the architects
breaking every ceiling, clearing all the decks
for the next generation, with a voice so strong
singing their own anthems, where they truly belong
from the pioneers to the powerhouses today
women in hip+hop, here to stay
(outro)
yeah… and we still taking over…
put some respect on it
queen latifah, missy, lauryn, lil’ kim, cardi, meg… all of ’em
word up
