Texty: Kelis. Kelis Was Here. Bossy - Kelis, Too Short.

[Kelis' introduction:]

[Laughter]

Hey Ya,

You don't have love me,

you don't even have to like me,

but you will respect me,

you know why?

cause I'm a boss!



Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch that beat go...



[Chorus - Kelis:]

I'm bossy

I'm the first girl to scream on a track

I switched up the beat of the drum

That's right, I brought all the boys to the yard

And that's right, I'm the one that's tattooed on his arm

I'm bossy

I'm the bitch ya'll love to hate

I'm the chick that's raised the stake

I told young stunna he should switch to Bapes

I'm back with an 808 'cause I'm bossy



Ooh, lemme slow it down for ya can catch the flow (catch the flow)

Screw it up make it go extra slow (extra slow)

Real girls get down on the flo' (on the flo' get down, on the flo')

Ooh, I gave you a taste you want some more (touch down)

On it like a pro

I ride the beat like a bicycle, I'm icy cold

Ooh, from the 6-4 hoppers up in crenshaw

The money makin playas up in Harlem

Don't want no problem

We gon' keep it bumpin while the 808 is jumpin



Diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my grill

Diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my grill



[Chorus - Kelis]



Ooh, (I bet, I bet) I bet cha neva heard it like this before (this before)

My baby be cruisin them phantom doors (phantom doors)

Got the bar poppin this that you can't afford (can't afford)


Ooh, I'm drinkin, blastin the crowds, it's all smokin

All the while I'm all open

Me and my girls we stay fly and we love to stay high

Ooh, from the 6-4 hoppers up in crenshaw

To the money makin playas up in Harlem

Don't want no problems

We gon' keep it bumpin while the 808 is jumpin



Diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my grill

Diamonds on my neck, di-diamonds on my grill



[Chorus - Kelis]



[Too $hort]

It's 'bout time that she get with me

Can't stop starin, she's fine and she's pretty

Damn girl, don't hurt 'em

If niggas don't get back, you gon work 'em

Put your mack down, I know your background

What chu want girl, you gettin mad now

That's how you do it, huh?

Well I'm the coolest one

In fact, it's in the back bring 'em to the front (bitch)

Tell that man you's a boss, bitch

Make some noise, raise your hand if you's a boss, bitch

I don't think he understands you's a boss, bitch

Get some help if you can 'cause he lost it

Ain't no refunds, she spent the cash mayne

In your Benz with her friends in the fast lane

Flossin, you say "How much it cost me?"

About a million dollars player, she's bossy



[Chorus - Kelis]



Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh... watch the beat go...

Uh uh...
