[Intro: Kelis]
Hehe, ey yo
You don't have to love me
You don't even have to like me
But you will respect me
You know why?
Hehe, 'cause I'm a BOSS!

[Bridge: Kelis]
Uh, uh... watch the beat go...
Uh, uh... watch that thing go...
Uh, uh... watch the beat go...
Uh, uh... watch that thing 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 y'all love to hate
I'm the chick that's raised the steaks
I told young stunna he should switch da pace
I'm back wit an 808, 'cause I'm bossy

[Verse 1: Kelis]
Ooh, lemme slow it down so you can catch the flow
Screw it up, make it go extra slow
Real girls get down on the floor
On the floor, get down on the floor
Ooh, if I gave you a taste you'd want some more
Touch down on it, throw it up like a pro
I ride the beat like a bicycle, I'm icy cold

[Pre-Chorus: Kelis (w/ Too $hort)]
Ooh, from the six-fo' heffas 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]
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 y'all love to hate
I'm the chick that's raised the steaks
I told young stunna he should switch da pace
I'm back wit an 808, 'cause I'm bossy

[Verse 2: Kelis]
Ooh, I bet, I bet, I bet you never heard it like this before
Me and my baby be closin' them phantom doors
Got the bar poppin' this that you can't afford, can't afford
Ooh, I'm chokin', blastin' the crowds, it's all smokin'
All of the while I'm all open
Me and my girls, we stay fly, and we love to stay high

[Pre-Chorus: Kelis (w/ Too $hort)]
Ooh, from the six-fo' heffas 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]
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 y'all love to hate
I'm the chick that's raised the steaks
I told young stunna he should switch da pace
I'm back wit an 808, 'cause I'm bossy

[Verse 3: 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 bag back, you gon' work 'em
Put your mac down, I know your background
What you want, girl, you gettin' that now
That's how you do it, huh? Well I'm the coolest one
The bad bitches in the back, bring it 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 wit her friends in the fast lane
Flossin', he said, "How much it cost me?"
About a million dollars, playa, she's bossy

[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 y'all love to hate
I'm the chick that's raised the steaks
I told young stunna he should switch da pace
I'm back wit an 808, 'cause I'm bossy

[Bridge: Kelis]
Uh, uh... watch the beat go...
Uh, uh... watch that thing go...
Uh, uh... watch the beat go...
Uh, uh... watch that thing go...
Uh, uh... watch the beat go...
Uh, uh... watch that thing go...
Uh, uh... watch the beat go...
Uh, uh... watch that thing go...
