The World Is Listening Remix - Akua Naru

Flashback '88
Copped my first tape
Third Grade
Young girl banking Roxanne Shante
Around my way
Called McKay
Disarray
Langston's a dark hues get bruised
Stored away hey
Caught in cage
Fought in the maze gave up
And now I got dreams of being live on stage
What
Turn up the volume me and my cousin
Doing the wop
Dreaming about the Salt-N-Pepa haircut
Speakers bump like the rock pumps
The rhythm of my next double-dutch jump
What you want at once
And we love the
We dreamed of ourselves
Knew when Latifah showed us what a queen was
Went from invisible to seen on the Smooth tip
Sweet Tee to follow Monie in the
Middle on the scene
So then saw myself I'll drop mics
When I'm over
Pick up a pen and like Antoinette
Lights Out Party's Over
This is for Latifah for Lyte for Shante
Bahamadia Lauryn Hill Heather B
For Jean Grae
E-V-E Nikki D Salt-N-Pepa even me
Apani B for Missy for Kim and Foxy
This is for Rah Digga Rage Left Eye
For Yo-Yo
Paula Perry Nonchalant Da Brat for Jane Doe
Rage Mystic BO Sparky D
For those never seen
On the search for female emcees
The microphone fiends
Stomped in the '90s
After school you could find me
In the backyard begging for a beat box
Rhyming
U-N-I-T-Y and Heather B Blues
Claim the news of the death
Of Phyllis Hymen
I rap to keep from crying
Taking Mine now I'm the Bo
Recipe for a show
They say no girls in the cipher
So I rock solo
Then on the Blackstreet
Ill Na Na get me home though
I rap along to every song
And ain't no playing with my Yo-Yo
Check how I hit every note though
Even sung along with patois
Like in the joint she did with Patra
I'm on a Romantic Call
Talkin' to my baby Down ah mi yard
Blank page calling a
The crowd yes ya'llin'
Nonchalantly in the trees
At five o'clock in the morning
Sported he Kim hardcore wig
Then came Lauryn
She showed me the beauty and the natural cut
Amplify my Rage growing out my afro puffs
This is for Latifah for Lyte for Shante
Bahamadia Lauryn Hill Heather B
For Jean Grae
E-V-E Nikki D Salt-N-Pepa even me
Apani B for Missy for Kim and Foxy
This is for Rah Digga Rage
Left Eye for Yo-Yo
Paula Perry Nonchalant Da Brat
For Jane Doe
Rage Mystic BO Sparky D
For those never seen
On the search for female emcees
The microphone fiends
New millennium came of age
While things stayed the same
Media forms changed
New name from What-What to Jean Grae
We bootlegged the bootleg
Facebook or MySpace
Put away cassette and VHS
Tapes in vinyl crates
Fast forward album release dates
Hip-hopalizing what we buy or objectify
In these days
Tell me what's the plight
Of a female MC's fate
Or what's the worth of a
Woman's story to a DJ
Downloading everyone and now
My heroes seemingly gone
Search and found Lauryn Hill Unplugged
Guess I lost one
Some come and go
Self-labeled b***h and ho
A heretic of discourse
I turn off the radio
I can't relate nor can I hate
For the ways we negotiate
The sexist spaces we navigate
I stay reppin'
Vaunted by the crest of hip hop's crescent
It seems
Fantasy's what people want reality to be
This is for Latifah for Lyte
For Shante
Bahamadia Lauryn Hill Heather B
For Jean Grae
E-V-E Nikki D Salt-N-Pepa even me
Apani B for Missy for Kim and Foxy
This is for Rah Digga Rage
Left Eye for Yo-Yo
Paula Perry Nonchalant Da Brat
For Jane Doe
Rage Mystic BO Sparky D
For those never seen
On the search for female emcees
The microphone fiends
The world is listening
