Sophisticated queen MC
Yes of course, that's me, mistress of ceremony
The one that's gonna take it to the top of the key
Introducing myself, MC Lisa Lee

I get parties rocking with my sensuous voice

And when you see the queen walking up the street
I'm not souped up, conceited, just incognit'
I make the fellas sweat 'coz I keep their bodies hot
It's a woman's world, you got to give it what you got

Well I'm Sha, party people, and I'm ready to rock
And if you wanna be down, you gotta gimme what you got
My fellas in the place, I won't steer you wrong
You gotta give it up or le-leave it alone

So get ready for this, get ready for this
Party people in the place, get ready for this
To you, so what you gonna do?
Do you wanna rock the house and turn this mutha out?

Fly girls, are you with us?
And if you're ready to rock, to help me turn it out

And if the world know what we're talkin' about

Watch out for the fellas, yeah

Party people in the place, get ready for this
To you, so what you gonna do?

And if you're ready to rock, to help me turn it out
Fly girls, are you with us?
And if the world know what we're talkin' about

Supest female rapper, yes, the best you heard
I make the fellas sweat 'coz I keep their bodies hot
It's a woman's world, you got to give it what you got

Well I'm Sha, party people, and I'm ready to rock
And if you wanna be down, you gotta gimme what you got
My fellas in the place, I won't steer you wrong
You gotta give it up or le-leave it alone
