** Patra ** 
[Now this is time for free your mind and your soul 
Yo, half the story has never been told 
Ladies, you got to demand what you want 
And what we want is respect, right? 
Yo, listen up on the track here 
So I can feel if it rides 
Freedom everytime for the sisters 
Check us, watch this] 

** Queen Latifah ** 
Now here we go now... 
Listen, If Hip [bad word] 
I'd be [bad word] like Slick Rick 
Get with this quick witted Adidas wearing chick 
Papa got a brand new bag, Mama got a brand new Jag 
gold tag, I ain't no old hag 
I represent not only in the kitchen, in the bedroom 
But also in the boardroom so give me more room 
Deny me my opportunity, you in jeopardy 
Yo Yo, set me free, oh and then let me be 

** Yo Yo ** 
I'm fightin' for freedom, I got the heat in case you need 'em 
I'm a straight soldier, ain't nobody told ya? 
Hold up on them lies, I know your games and your plans 
Do whatever you can to oppress the man 
But when it's time to drop the bomb bring the funkiness on 
You say you never met a sister so strong, you're wrong 
Now how can we be free? 
It takes you and it takes me to live together in harmony 
And peace and love and all of the above  [bad word]  together representing one love 
No disrespect, but we gotta get it together 
No matter what's the weather, sisters gotta stick together 
And sisters be strong, don't let 'em steer you wrong 
Hold on cuz sisters got it goin' on, yeah 

** Left-Eye ** 
Whoever said these are the things that you can do 
And the things you ain't supposed to? 
So am I further when I think I'm getting closer? 
That's when I tend to think of Rosa 
How Rosa took a seat to make a stand 
But now in standin' we gettin' more demanding 
And they never thought of plannin' 
That a wish for us to sit would be a dose of this ******' rollercoaster 
Whether tradition or religion, why you question my decision? 
Why you spend up all your time tryin' to get into my mind? 
How everybody and their mama gots to add to all my drama 
Mad drama, [bad word] if I'm gonna keep my dominating, feministic,  [bad word] creating Crazy, y, cool, black *** 
in the palms of your player-hater's stance. 
My only chance of being free is to fly within me 
And it's illegal to kill a ******' eagle 
bird is never more important than my people 
I guess we didn't need him so I took away his freedom 

** MC Lyte ** 
My spiritual awareness leads me to believe 
That you're doubtin' the sisters [bad word] with the peace 
We've been together since Jah created water 
The African border, celebration is in order 
Pop the cork and give champagne to the stork 
That brought the Lyte to my Mama in New York 
African [bad word] again and again 
You kick me down, I get back up,  [bad word]  back in multiples of ten. 

** Nefertiti ** 
You know where [bad word] from 
Slung from the belly of the beast, used to speak African tongue 
So I showed her, next one rolled her 
Slung the devil over my shoulder 
I'm gettin' over cuz I'm bolder than the next 
Tell me nothin' cuz I speak the real [bad word] from the text 
Who's next to flex with this s-i-s-t-e-r? 
The sun, the moon, the crescent, the star 
Well let's see how open you are 

** Me'Shell NdegeOcello ** [bad word] and take a walk with me, closer walk with thee 
See what only I can see 
Nobody knows the trouble I see 
So it's back to the womb of everlasting life and [bad word] 
Let the heaven of a sister embrace you, 
and praise 'em of the gods [bad word] into the light, let it shine, blackness is fine 
The blackness of the skin, the blackness of the mind 

** Salt-N-Pepa ** 
I am who I am and that's who I be 
And I don't give a [bad word] if your eyes can't see 
If you can
