In The Air Tonite
Lil’ Kim feat. Phil Collins Lyrics

What we gonna do right here is go back (go back)
Let's take a trip down memory lane.

Way back (way back)- back into time (into time)
We're going back to a bygone era.

I can feel it coming in the air tonight
I sense that something important is about to happen.

Oh Lord
An expression of anticipation, awe, or wonder.

And I've been waiting for this moment
I've been eagerly anticipating this event.

For all my life
I've been waiting for this moment my entire life.

Keep stealing the shit
Continuously taking and copying my work.

Killing the rhyme
Destroying the flow of the music.

The Queen stay poppin' the wine and cockin' the nine
I am living the high life and have a gun for protection.

For those who think they stoppin' my doe
For those who think they can stop me from making money.

Want to copy my show, wha
Trying to imitate my show, what?

I'm switchin' my flow, can't take it no mo'
I'm changing my style because I can no longer handle the status quo.

Oh you think I'm playin' around
You think I'm messing around?

I'm layin ya down
I will defeat and overthrow you.

Album drop, new millennium shuttin' it down
My new album is going to be a huge success.

Better off givin' it up, I'm rippin' it up
You might as well quit because I'm dominating the scene.

Spendin' money, livin' it up, not giving a fuck
Spending my money and enjoying life while not caring about what others think.

Hotter than toast, Runnin' the coast
I'm doing great and taking control of the scene.

Makin' niggas catch the Holy Ghost
I'm so impressive that people are having spiritual experiences.

I'm realer than most, wha
I'm more authentic than other people, what?

The trendsetter, the Brooklyn repper
I set the trends and represent Brooklyn.

You know the routine
You know what's going down.

Smoke you like a ciggarette-are
I will defeat you easily.

You've been out in a bit
You haven't been in the scene recently.

why'all still talkin' shit
Why are you still talking trash?

Ain't that a bitch?
Isn't that just ridiculous?

What part of the game was this?
What kind of situation is this?

Millions I'm holdin'
I have millions of dollars.

Drop tops rollin'
I'm driving luxury convertibles.

Diamonds on my neck
I'm wearing expensive jewelry.

And Bentley ballin'
And driving a Bentley.

Me and my niggas gettin' high all day
My friends and I are smoking weed all day.

Straight to the top, 'cause we on our way
We're on our way to success.

Comin' for why'all, comin' for why'all
I'm coming for all of you.

That's right I got something for why'all
I've got some music that you'll love.

God bless me, look at all I've been through
God has blessed me because of all the struggles I've overcome.

It's my time, I can feel it, can't you?
It's my time to shine and I know it, don't you?

Well I remember..
I remember back in the day...

... back when it used to be the eighties
Back in the 1980s...

Said the world gon' end in 2000 (that's crazy)
People thought the world was going to end in the year 2000 (which is ridiculous).

I'm the only thing to fear
People are afraid of me.

For the new year
In the new year.

and if BIG was here (woo)
If the late rapper The Notorious B.I.G. was still alive...

Get the fans, we the ones to talk
We'll gather a big audience because we're the best.

We die real on the streets
We're authentic and represent the realities of street life.

So watch where you walk
Be careful in the streets or there will be consequences.

And you can find me, usually
You can usually find me doing this...

Talkin' dirty to a cat thugged out
Talking in a sexually suggestive way to a tough man.

Or even kinda nerdy
Or even acting geeky at times.

Lil' Kim, Lil' Cease and JM
Me, Lil' Cease and JM.

Taking over like a plague on a town
We're taking over the music industry like a disease.

All why'all can do is pray and watch it go down
All you can do is pray and hope things go well.

Like when the ball drop
Like on New Year's Eve when the ball drops...

My fam's all I got, we keep it gangsta
My family is all I have and we represent the gangster lifestyle.

Well, if you told me, you were drowning
If you told me you were in trouble...

I would not a lend a hand
I wouldn't help you.

I've seen your face before my friend
I know who you are.

But I don't know if you know who I am
But you may not know who I am.

Well I was there and I saw what you did
I was present and witnessed your actions.

Saw it with my own two eyes
I saw it with my own eyes.

So you can wipe off that grin
So wipe the smile off your face.

I know where you've been
I know what you've been up to.

It's all been a pack of lies
Everything has been a lie.

And I've been waiting for this moment
I've been anticipating this event.

All my life
My whole life.

Lil' Kim, Lil' Kim
Lil' Kim!

JM, JM
JM!
