[Verse 1: Coolio]
~#**************#~
Now I done use the word bitch a few times in a rhyme
~#**************#~
But now its 95 so let me drop a line
~#**************#~
This goes out to the young Black queens
~#**************#~
On the neighborhood scene who havent lost their dream
~#**************#~
I know sometimes it seems like it aint no love
~#**************#~
And to get where you go ya got to push and shove
~#**************#~
Around the way girl with hope in your heart
~#**************#~
Deuce-five in the purse and five in the start
~#**************#~
Shes the kinda woman ya take home to mama
~#**************#~
The only kind you ever let get past the drama
~#**************#~
Coolio know that you aint no ho
~#**************#~
And its time to put you up on a pedestal seat
~#**************#~
Queen of the entire universe
~#**************#~
And you know how I know that you were put here first
~#**************#~
To every nigga that dissed ya and every nigga that hit ya
~#**************#~
Accept my apologies for my brothas, my sista
~#**************#~

[Verse 2: Coolio]
~#**************#~
Princess of the Nile, sweet black sexy child
~#**************#~
Ooh, I like your style, huh
~#**************#~
First mother on the planet, I know its gettin scary
~#**************#~
And all these wannabe pimps is all that ya meet
~#**************#~
But ya gotta shake em off like fleas and nigga meat
~#**************#~
And use your God-given talents and abilities
~#**************#~
No matter where ya from ya get much respect
~#**************#~
From the top of your neck to your county check
~#**************#~
I see ya waitin for the bus in the early morn
~#**************#~
Brick house with a face like Leena Horne
~#**************#~
I aint no cap to save a ho but I got your front
~#**************#~
And your side and your back if thats what ya want
~#**************#~
So when its time to put it down, I wont be runnin
~#**************#~
Ya got a dear lil somethin like Harriet Tubman, huh
~#**************#~
No matter what ya do or where ya go

Ya got love from a nigga named Coolio
~#**************#~

[Verse 3: Coolio]
~#**************#~
Hernie Dipp got the lips, finger tips, and the hips
~#**************#~
To make mice outta the crazy-ass Bloods and Crips
~#**************#~
Make a nigga sing a song all night long
~#**************#~
‘Til his voice is gone with no music on
~#**************#~
You can be a busta on a hard-ass low
~#**************#~
And should be down with your ass when your poor and broke
~#**************#~
And um uh, every time ya need Ill owe ya
~#**************#~
Gotta do is make a phone call, cause
~#**************#~
When ya say ‘come ya know shes on her way
~#**************#~
With no hesitance and any type of delay
~#**************#~
I talk about my granny, Batana, and Vanita
~#**************#~
Jackie and Nicole and Grandy and Artisha
~#**************#~
I gots to give credit where credit is due
~#**************#~
And all credit that is credited is credit to you
~#**************#~
I give praise to your ways and for all my day
~#**************#~
Apologies much respect to the sons I raise
~#**************#~
