Parlay

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Proceed with caution, but off the flossin'

Slippery courses, strictly big bossin' to get the fortune

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Proceed with caution, but off the flossin'

Slippery courses, strictly big bossin' to get the fortune

You not ready to test the La

Back in the funk, confess or die

Not physically, but lyrically

Come on, give it your best try

The flow's comin', don't get caught up in it

Talkin' about straps and guns

When the only tools you had had water in it

Wait a minute, I'm about to spark this shit

If you smokin' twenty blunts a day

Chances are you smokin' garbage, a harbinger?

No, we know never, too clever, too feminine

I'm on to winnin' it, select the rewind and come again

Uh, yeah, then let it drop again, don't stop again

Rappers is pet, Latifah comin' for her props again

No matter where in the U.S. you reside

Lyrically I commit justifiable homicide

I represent the feline

The kind that used to like to tree climb

And been respected since I start to speak mine

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Proceed with caution, but off the flossin'

Slippery courses, strictly big bossin' to get the fortune

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Proceed with caution, but off the flossin'

Slippery courses, strictly big bossin' to get the fortune

Beyond lights and cameras, behind the glamours

Ghetto scramblers with broken grammars, cock the hammers

Up the flashes, stashin' Benjamin Grants and Jacksons

Money's the passion, greed's the lust for satisfaction

Cash flow like Castro, fast though, don't last though

With Judah let the mask, no feds don't let that tag go

Povin' on your trail since undercover surveillance

Your man in jail since he one of two assailants

Peep the lesson, use discretion, times is stressin'

No depression, minds advance like the Jetsons

No dirt where you be at, think before you react

It's the fame you seek that's quick to bring the heat back

Made moves wrong, fortune's gone, you're singin' sad songs

Still reminiscin' 'bout the days you was on

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Proceed with caution, but off the flossin'

Slippery courses, strictly big bossin' to get the fortune

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Proceed with caution, but off the flossin'

Slippery courses, strictly big bossin' to get the fortune

La Femme Marquise and Latifah

Givin' you what you need, huh?

Yeah, you know what it be about

Me about to the end, on the reg

We vacation in places where the nation's language is French

Ride the whip, the Merrill Lynch, while others ride the bench

We come through in the clinch, you never see us flinch

Your cheese come in increments, my money 'til I'm drenched

Slim bar from the Femme Squad, chick meaner than Nimrod

Wanna spar? We could go par, five-two leave your chin scarred

No complication, mind to conquer nations

Deep concentration, real live to comp your face

Ayo, hand over this, gettin' money hand over fist

No time to parlay, huntin' them hundreds that's crisp

With producers that's A-list, lyrics that lace this

To make sure these hits never miss when we play this

La Femme Marquise, the Queen Latifah, the double feature

Attract torn by each fur, a force to reach ya

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Proceed with caution, but off the flossin'

Slippery courses, strictly big bossin' to get the fortune

Parlay, hard lay, get money all day

Slip your fall prey, go out the hard way

Proceed with caution, but off the flossin'

Slippery courses, strictly big bossin' to get the fortune
