20. “Stick Up” Kelis
Put your hands up in the air, it’s a stick up. I’m gon’ take your heart from here, now let’s fix up. Put your hands in the air, in the air, in the air… Ain’t goin’ nowhere, sure I’m scared but my life’s a dare. And baby u just got so much flare, we’ll be the perfect pair. I’m gonna share my mind with you, you’ve been blinded. My life’s been blue, I’m takin’ you, I’m takin’ you.
19. “Get Money” Junior Mafia
Now you wanna buy me diamonds and Armani suits. Adia Vinadini and Chanel lime boots. Things that make up, for all the games and the lies. Hallmark cards, sayin, ‘I apologize’
Is you wit me? How could you ever deceive me?
18. “Bust Your Windows” Jazmine Sullivan
You see, you can’t just play with people’s feelings. Tell them you love them and don’t mean it. You’ll probably say that it was juvenile. But I think that I deserve to smile.
17.”Mercedes Boy” Pebbles
Do you wanna ride in my Mercedes, boy? Tell me what you’re gonna do with me. ‘Cause if you wanna ride in my Mercedes, boy there are so many things that I’m gonna do to you.
16. “New Attitude” Patti LaBelle
I got a new attitude. I’m wearing a new dress, new hair, brand new ideas, as a matter of fact I’ve changed for good. It must have been the cool night, new moon, new slight change.
15. “Loose Rap” Aaliya
How many times I tell you ‘don’t come to me? You bring me all of that jealousy. Cause you got envy. Talk smack behind my back and then when you see me, you try to come up and talk to me. I’m not saying nothing, nothing.
14. “Shake You Off” Mariah Carey
By the time you get this message, it’s gonna be too late. So don’t bother paging me cause I’ll be on my way. See, I grabbed all my diamonds and clothes. Just ask your momma she knows. You’re gonna miss me baby. Hate to say I told you so.
13. “Queen of the Night” Whitney Houston
Don’t make no difference if I’m wrong or I’m right. I’ve got the feeling and I’m willing tonight. Well I ain’t nobody’s angel. What can I say, I’m just that way. You’ve got a problem with the way that I am. They say I’m trouble and I don’t give a damn. But when I’m bad I know I’m better. I just want to get loose, and turn it up for you.
12. “I’m Every Woman” Chaka Khan
“I can cast a spell. With secrets you can’t tell. Mix a special brew. Put fire inside of you. I can sense your needs. Like rain unto the seeds.”
11. “Ladies Night” [Remix] Lil Kim
Oh this is ladies night, and our rhymes is tight. Oh this is ladies night, oh what a night. Oh this is ladies night, and the feel is right.
10.”So Kool” Teedra Moses
Bet you’d thought I’d stay. (Bet you’d thought I’d never leave) Finally I’m over you boy. (Now this time) Now this time no way. Bet you thought you had all mine [love]. So all that s*** your talking in my ear. I ain’t even tryna’ hear.
9. “U.N.I.T.Y” Queen Latifah
Instinct leads me to another flow. Everytime I hear a brother call a girl a b**** or a h**. Trying to make a sister feel low. You know all of that gots to go. Now everybody knows there’s exceptions to this rule. Now don’t be getting mad, when we playing, it’s cool. But don’t you be calling out my name. I bring wrath to those who disrespect me like a dame.
8. “Control” Janet Jackson
I’m in control, never gonna stop. Control, to get what I want. Control, I got to have a lot. Control, now I’m all grown up.
7. “Be Happy” Mary J. Blige
How can I love somebody else, If I can’t love myself enough to know. Life is too short. To be tryin to play some games. Now take some time and think about. If it’s really worth losing me. Why must it be this way. Why do you have to play with my mind.
6. “Irreplaceable” Beyonce
You must not know ’bout me. I can have another you in a minute. Matter fact, he’ll be here in a minute…. So since I’m not your everything. How about I’ll be nothing? Nothing at all to you. Baby I won’t shed a tear for you. I won’t lose a wink of sleep. ‘Cause the truth of the matter is, replacing you is so easy.
5.”Stronger Than Me” Amy Winehouse
You should be stronger than me. You been here seven years longer than me. Don’t you know you supposed to be the man? Not pale in comparison to who you think I am… I’ve forgotten all of young love’s joy. Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy.
4. “I’m Coming Out” Diana Ross
There’s a new me coming out. And I just had to live. And I wanna give. I’m completely positive. I think this time around.
I am gonna do it. Like you never do it. Like you never knew it. Ooh, I’ll make it through.
3. “Tyrone” Erykah Badu
I’m getting tired of your s***. You don’t never buy me nothin’…. I think you better, call Tyrone. And tell him come on, help you get your s***. You need to call Tyrone. Hold On– But you can’t use my phone.
2. “I Get Out” Lauryn Hill
No more compromises. I see past your disguises. Blindin’ through mind control. Stealin’ my eternal soul. Appealin’ through material. To keep me as your slave. But I get out. Oh, I get out of all your boxes. I get out.
1. “Ms. Independent” Ne-Yo
I can’t figure it out, there’s something about her. Cause she walk like a boss, talk like a boss. Manicured nails, just sent the pedicure off. She’s fly effortlessly
Cause she move like a boss, do what a boss. She got me thinking about getting involved. That’s the kinda girl I need.
