Trish and Lil' Kim giggle]
I don't care what yall say
[Chorus 2X: Lil' Kim]
(Whoa) It's time to rock and roll
(Whoa) This time I'm in control
(Whoa) Right now I own the streets
I got the keys to the city
That's cause I get down
[Verse 1: Lil' Kim]
Sometimes I wonder, how I made it this far
With all these people hatin' on me, y'all know who you are
Take a chance and try to come up, in this game bein' a star
Now I own the keys to a brand new fancy car, baby
It's my turn to burn, and now I'm here to rub it in ya face [giggling]
When will you learn, I'm the Queen and I'll put you in your place
[Chorus 2x]
[Verse 2: Lil' Kim]
Bounce.., Bounce..., Bounce..
How dare you try to go aganist the glorious one
I'll slaughter you son, it's over, the story is done
You can be number two, but I'm second to none
What you forgot Queen Bee's the notorious one, uh
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I'm the cream de la cream, so you can never play me
See I'm more than a lady
whoa I'm more than a lover, more than enough for ya
Please try understand me
I'ma stay at the top, cause I don't give a damn
I don't care what y'all say, I'ma keep doin me
Y'all can't fade me
[Chorus to x3]
I don't care what yall say

Time To Rock 'n' Roll
Lil' Kim's "Time To Rock 'n' Roll" stands as a quintessential example of her mid-2000s hip-hop style, blending aggressive delivery with a high-energy beat that defined her era. Released during a period where she was solidifying her status as a dominant force in female rap, the track showcases her signature blend of street credibility and theatrical flair. The song reflects the broader cultural shift toward more explicit, self-assured anthems by artists like Missy Elliott and Da Brat, who were redefining the genre's boundaries. As part of her discography, this recording captures the raw energy and unapologetic attitude that made Lil' Kim a pivotal figure in the evolution of modern rap music.
