Bossy Lyrics


A yo
You don't have to love me
You don't even have to like me
But you will respect me
You know why?
‘Cause I'm a boss!
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
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 stakes
I told young Stanley he should switch to Bape
I'm back wit an 808 ‘cause I'm bossy!
Ooh, let me slow it down so you can catch the flow
(Catch the flow)
Screw it up make it go extra slow
(Extra slow)
Real girls get down on the floor
(On the floor, get down on the floor)
Ooh, I gave you a taste, you want some more
Touch down on me, throw it up like a pro
I ride the beat like a bicycle, an icicle
Ooh, from the 64 hoppers 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, d-diamonds on my grill
Diamonds on my neck, d-diamonds on my grill
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 stakes
I told young Stanley he should switch to Bape
I'm back wit an 808 ‘cause I'm bossy!
Ooh
(I bet, I bet, I bet)
Betcha never heard it like this before
(This before)
Me and my baby be closin' the Phantom doors
(Phantom doors)
Bar poppin' shit that you can't afford
(Can't afford)
Ooh, I'm chokin'
Lost in the clouds, it's all smokin'
All the while I'm all open
Me and my girls we stay fly and I love to stay high
Ooh, from the 64 hoppers 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 d-diamonds on my grill
Diamonds on my neck d-diamonds on my grill
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 stakes
I told young Stanley he should switch to Bape
I'm back wit an 808 ‘cause I'm bossy!
It's ‘bout time that she get wit me
Can't stop starin', she's fine and she's pretty
Damn girl don't hurt 'em
If niggaz don't back back you gon' work 'em
Put your mack 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
Them bad bitches in the back, bring ‘em to the front
Bitch! Tell dat 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 man
In yo Benz wit her friends in the fast lane
Flossin', he said, “How much she cost me?”
“About a million dollars playa, she's bossy!”
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 stakes
I told young Stanley he should switch to Bape
I'm back wit an 808 ‘cause I'm bossy!
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh uh
(Watch the beat go)
Uh uh

Kelis Rogers-Jones (born Kelis Rogers on August 21, 1979), is known simply by her first name Kelis (pronounced Kuh-lees). Her name is an amalgamation of her parents' first names, her black father Kenneth and Chinese-Puerto Rican mother Eveliss. Growing up in Middle Class Harlem, New York Kelis' childhood was not a deprived one. But she was not without problems, after her parents realised they could not cope with her unruly behaviour (Kelis shaved all her hair off at age 13, soon afterwards dyeing the regrowth the colors of the rainbow), Kelis moved out of the family home, continuing her private education.

After a short spell working as a model, 5'10" Kelis began appearing on songs by Neptunes produced rappers such as 'Got Your Money' by the late rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard. Soon afterwards, she released her debut album, Kaleidoscope in 1999 of which the first single was 'Caught Out There,' a song based on the time she caught her boyfriend cheating on her, and she beat him. The video feautures Kelis leading a pack of angry women down the street screaming 'I hate you so much right now!'. The album was released in USA, Europe and Asia, but did not find much audience in the USA. Not a great success, it only sold 249,000 copies to date.

After finding her largest audience in Europe, Kelis released her second album titled Wanderland (2001) in Europe only, which like her first album did not fare well. It only sold 80,000 copies and was entirely produced by The Neptunes (Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo) again, similarly to her debut. Only one single was released 'Young Fresh N New'.

In 2003 Kelis finally found fame in her country with the single 'Milkshake,' which was a massive success in Europe, Asia and USA, and she began dating rapper Nas (born Nasir bin Olu Dara Jones). The single was from the album 'Tasty' which did not feature the Neptunes as heavily as her previous albums. Singles included the popular Dallas Austin produced 'Trick Me' and 'Millionaire', a collaboration with OutKast's Andre 3000. 'In Public's duet with Nas was the fourth single from the album, becoming a top twenty hit in the U.K. without a video.

In 2006, Kelis presented a new album to her fans, entitled Kelis Was Here, which was originally to be called 'The Puppeteer' which was released on 22 August but was due Fall 2005. No Neptunes tracks appeared on this album, but Kelis used other producers such as Max Martin, will.i.am (Black Eyed Peas) and Raphael Saadiq. Singles are the huge 'Bossy', 'Blindfold Me', and 'Lil Star'. Kelis wrote more of the material on this album than she did for Tasty, and carries off the sci-fi, electronica sounds so often considered Neptunes material without them. This is most evident on the brilliant 'Trilogy'. Kelis has said she wants to make her mark with this album, as it will be the last 'album like this' she will make.

In October 2007, Kelis was dumped by Jive Records, for poor sales of Kelis Was Here but a new album is in the pipeline. The Hits - a greatest hits collection - was released in March 2008, including tracks where she was a featured artist, eg, Got Your Money by Ol' Dirty Bastard , N.E.R.D's Truth or Dare, and Richard X's Finest Dreams.

Kelis is currently signed to Interscope records and released in 2010 an album entitled Flesh Tone, the first single from which was the David Guetta-produced Acapella.

Songfacts reports that 'Distance', the first single from Kelis’ sixth studio album received its first play during the June 30, 2012 show of The Beatnik Mix on London's Reprezent 107.3FM.

In the beginning of 2010, Kelis received a letter by animal rights organization PETA, in which she was informed about the cruelty that comes along with the production of fur coats. In her Myspace blog, she mocked PETA and stated that she would go on wearing fur, referencing several fur coats she had made from her pet dogs.
