Lyrics of U.N.I.T.Y. by Queen Latifah

intro

(Uh) U-N-I-T-Y
U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity
U-N-I-T-Y, love a black man from infinity to infinity
Who're you calling a bitch? (Here we go)

chorus

U-N-I-T-Y (you gotta let 'em know)
U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity (New York, come on, here we go)
U-N-I-T-Y (uh, you gotta let 'em know)
Love a black woman from infinity to infinity (you ain't a bitch or a hoe, here we go)

chorus

U-N-I-T-Y (uh, you gotta let 'em know)
U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity (come on, come on, here we go)
U-N-I-T-Y (yeah, you gotta let 'em know)
Love a black man from infinity to infinity (you ain't a bitch or a hoe)

verse

Instinct leads me to another flow (flow)
Every time I hear a brother call a girl a bitch or a ho
Trying to make a sister feel low
You know all of that gots to go
Now everybody knows there's exceptions to this rule (yeah)
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

verse

That's why I'm talking, one day I was walking down the block
I had my cutoff shorts on right 'cause it was crazy hot
I walked past these dudes when they passed me (uh)
One of 'em felt my booty, he was nasty (yeah)
I turned around red, somebody was catching the wrath
Then the little one said "Ha-ha, yeah, me bitch" and laughed
Since he was with his boys he tried to break fly
Huh, I punched him dead in his eye and said, "Who you calling a bitch?" (Here we go)

chorus

U-N-I-T-Y (yeah, you gotta let 'em know)
U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity (come on, here we go)
U-N-I-T-Y (yeah, you gotta let 'em know)
Love a black woman from infinity to infinity (you ain't a bitch or a hoe, here we go)

chorus

U-N-I-T-Y (uh, you gotta let 'em know)
U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity (New York, come on, here we go)
U-N-I-T-Y (yeah, you gotta let 'em know)
Love a black man from infinity to infinity (you ain't a bitch or a hoe)

verse

I hit the bottle there ain't nowhere else to go but up (rhymes)
Bad days at work and they gave you an attitude then you were rough (rhymes)
And take it out on me, but that's about enough
You put your hands on me again, I'll put your ass in handcuffs
I guess I fell so deep in love I grew dependency
I was too blind to see just how it was affecting me
All that I knew was you was all the man I had
And I was scared to let you go, even though you treated me bad

verse

But I don't want my kids to see me getting beat down
By Daddy smacking Mommy all around
You say I'm nothing without ya, but I'm nothing with ya (uh)
A man don't really love you if he hits ya (yeah)
This is my notice to the door, I'm not taking it no more
I'm not your personal whore, that's not what I'm here for
And nothing good gonna come to ya 'til you do right by me
Brother you ain't that sick? (Who you calling a bitch?) (Here we go)

chorus

U-N-I-T-Y (uh, you gotta let 'em know)
U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity (come on, here we go)
U-N-I-T-Y (yeah, you gotta let 'em know)
Love a black man from infinity to infinity (you ain't a bitch or a hoe, here we go)

chorus

U-N-I-T-Y (uh, you gotta let 'em know)
U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity (come on, here we go)
U-N-I-T-Y (you gotta let 'em know)
Love a black woman from infinity to infinity (you ain't a bitch or a hoe)

verse

What's going on in your mind is what I ask ya? (Yeah)
But like Yo-Yo (uh), you don't hear me though
You wear a rag around your head, and you call yourself a "Gangsta Bitch"
Now that you saw Apache's video
I saw you wilding, acting like a fool (uh)
I peeped you out the window jumping girls after school
But where did all of this come from?
A minute ago, you was a nerd and nobody ever heard of ya
Now you a wannabe, hard

verse

You barely know your ABCs, please
There's plenty of people out there with triggers ready to pull it
Why you trying to jump in front of the bullet (young lady)
Uh, and real bad girls are the silent type (yeah)
Ain't none of this worth getting your face sliced
'Cause that's what happened to your homegirl, right? (Bucking with nobody)
She got to wear that for life (who you calling a bitch?) (Here we go)

chorus

U-N-I-T-Y, uh (you gotta let 'em know)
U-N-I-T-Y, that's a unity (come on, here we go)
U-N-I-T-Y (you gotta let 'em know)
Love a black man from infinity to infinity (you ain't a bitch or a hoe, here we go)

chorus

U-N-I-T-Y, uh (you gotta let 'em know)
U-N-I-T-Y (come on, here we go)
U-N-I-T-Y (you must let 'em know)
Love a black woman from infinity to infinity (you ain't a bitch or a hoe)
