Big Dave, come in
Yo, go 'head
What's your twenty?
I'm in front of the a room right now

Ten four
I got cha

She's on her way to the back
I got cha
(She comin')

Don't let nobody fuck with her
(She comin')
I got cha
(She comin')
She got a lot to say, aight?
I got cha, I got cha
(She comin')

Step back bitch, better take notes
Teddy got too much dough for me to ever go broke
(Word)
I'm callin' your bluff, what you ever tote?
I'm raw and uncut like Columbian Coke

Now how many of y'all wanna fuck with me?
Trick question, who wants to fuck with Queen?
While y'all role play, I'm always mean
And before sound scan, I'm ate by the streets

You, you real funny to me
Like a drag queen with heels and a head full of weave
Talkin' about Ki's, that you never seen
(Seen)
Rappin' about gats, that you never packed
(Packed)

I'm da, original don dadda
And I say this to your face it'll take a whole lotta
For you, to catch up to my speed
Fuck your icey rings, fuck this industry

Take away the shine, you still a chicken wing
Bum bitch, yeah, I said it
(Yeah)
Bum bitch, and I never will regret it
(70,000 in the first week? That shit is ridiculous)

Don't bring them bitches around me
(I got cha)
Don't bring sand to the beach
(I got cha)
Pump QP in the jeeps
(I got cha)
We beez the baddest in the streets
(I got cha)

It's my time, to shine
(I got cha)
Those styles, y'all kicked, was mine
(I got cha)
Don't let me catch y'all tricks this time
(I got cha)
Take away your right to spit a rhyme
(I got cha)

I got a, chip on my shoulder and shit on my chest
I took a little break and bitches got overconfident
On the really girl, you don't want no conflict
Save your slick talk for Saturday night's at plex

QP is back, what did y'all expect?
That I stay pregnant forever, and live off of my publishing cheques?
All this bad chat got me kind of vexed
Y'all been talkin' about me ever since I fucked that nigga from next

It's all over, I'm shuttin' y'all down
By the end of the first quarter, y'all gone be sayin', "Damn she foul"
Dead, QP ain't playin' around
She goin' hardcore on y'all bitches dis round

Don't bring them bitches around me
(I got cha)
Don't bring sand to the beach
(I got cha)
Pump QP in the jeeps
(I got cha)
We beez the baddest in the streets
(I got cha)

It's my time, to shine
(I got cha)
Those styles, y'all kicked, was mine
(I got cha)
Don't let me catch y'all tricks this time

Take away your right to spit a rhyme

Now how many of y'all wanna fuck with me?

Trick question, who wants to fuck with Queen?
It's a rhetorical question, as nobody would dare oppose the Queen

While y'all role play, I'm always mean
While you engage in pretend, I am consistently ruthless

And before sound scan, I'm ate by the streets
Even prior to SoundScan (music sales tracking system), my music was devoured by the streets

You, you real funny to me
You, you are truly amusing to me

Like a drag queen with heels and a head full of weave
Just like a drag queen wearing high heels and a wig

Talkin' about Ki's, that you never seen
Speaking about kilos (of drugs) that you have never witnessed

Rappin' about gats, that you never packed
Rapping about guns that you have never possessed

I'm da, original don dadda
I am the original boss, the leader

And I say this to your face it'll take a whole lotta
I confront you directly and it requires a lot of effort

For you, to catch up to my speed
For you to reach my level of success

Fuck your icey rings, fuck this industry
Disregard your flashy rings, disregard the music industry

Take away the shine, you still a chicken wing
Even without the spotlight, you are insignificant

Bum bitch, yeah, I said it
Worthless woman, yes, I stated it

Bum bitch, and I never will regret it
Worthless woman, and I will never feel remorse for saying it

Don't bring them bitches around me
Do not bring those women near me

Don't bring sand to the beach
Do not bring unnecessary or redundant things to a place where they already exist

Pump QP in the jeeps
Inject QP (probably referring to drugs) into the jeeps

We beez the baddest in the streets
We are the most outstanding in the streets

It's my time, to shine
Now is the moment for me to excel

Those styles, y'all kicked, was mine
The styles you imitated were originally mine

Don't let me catch y'all tricks this time
Do not allow me to discover your deceptive actions again

Take away your right to spit a rhyme
Strip you of your ability to rap

I got a, chip on my shoulder and shit on my chest
I have a chip on my shoulder and burdens on my mind

I took a little break and bitches got overconfident
I took a short break and women became excessively self-assured

On the really girl, you don't want no conflict
Honestly, girl, you do not desire any confrontation

Save your slick talk for Saturday night's at plex
Reserve your cunning remarks for Saturday nights at the club

QP is back, what did y'all expect?
QP (probably referring to the artist) has returned, what were your expectations?

That I stay pregnant forever, and live off of my publishing cheques?
Did you expect me to remain perpetually pregnant and solely rely on my royalty payments?

All this bad chat got me kind of vexed
All this negative talk has made me quite annoyed

Y'all been talkin' about me ever since I fucked that nigga from next
You all have been gossiping about me since I had sex with that person from the neighborhood

It's all over, I'm shuttin' y'all down
It is finished, I am silencing all of you

By the end of the first quarter, y'all gone be sayin', 'Damn she foul'
Before the first quarter is over, you will be exclaiming, 'Wow, she is ruthless'

Dead, QP ain't playin' around
Seriously, QP is not messing around

She goin' hardcore on y'all bitches dis round
She is going all-out against all of you this time
