Oh, oh, oh, oh
Set the cheetahs on the loose
Oh, oh, oh, oh
There's a thief out on the move
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
Underneath our legion's view
Oh, oh, oh, oh
They have taken Cleopatra

Run, run, run (Cleopatra)
Come back for my glory (Cleopatra)
Bring her back to me (Cleopatra)
Run, run, run (Cleopatra)
The crown of our pharaoh (Cleopatra)
The throne of our queen is empty (Cleopatra)

We'll run to the future, shinin' like diamonds
In a rocky world, rocky, 'cky world
Our skin like bronze and our hair like cashmere
As we march to the rhythm on the palace floor, ah-ooh
Chandeliers inside the pyramids tremble from the force
Cymbals crash inside the pyramids, voices fill up the halls

Oh, oh, oh, ooh
Set the cheetahs on the loose
I, I, I, I
There's a thief out on the move
Oh, oh, oh, ooh
Underneath our legion's view
They have taken Cleopatra, Cleopatra

The jewel of Africa, jewel
What good is a jewel that ain't still precious?
How could you run off on me? How could you run off on us?
You feel like God inside that gold
I found you layin' down with Samson and his full head of hair
I found my black queen Cleopatra
Bad dreams, Cleopatra

Oh, oh, oh, remove her
Send the cheetahs to the tomb
Oh, oh, oh, our war is over
Our queen has met her doom
No more, she lives no more, serpent in her room
Oh, no more
He has killed Cleopatra, Cleopatra

Big Sun comin' strong through the motel blinds
Wake up to your girl
For now, let's call her Cleopatra, Cleopatra
I watch you fix your hair
Then put your panties on in the mirror, Cleopatra
Then your lipstick, Cleopatra
Then your six-inch heels, catch her
She's headed to the pyramid

She's workin' at the pyramid tonight
Workin' at the pyramid
Workin' at the pyramid tonight
Workin' at the pyramid, woah
Workin' at the pyramid tonight, yeah
Workin' at the pyramid, oh
Workin' at the pyramid tonight
Workin' at the pyramid
Workin' at the pyramid tonight

Pimpin' in my convos
Bubbles in my champagne, let it be some jazz playin'
Top floor motel suite, twistin' my cigars
Floor model TV with the VCR
Got rubies in my damn chain
Whip ain't got no gas tank, but it still got woodgrain
Got your girl workin' for me
Hit the strip and my bills paid
That keep my bills paid
Hit the strip and my bills paid
Keep a nigga bills paid

She's workin' at the pyramid tonight
Workin' at the pyramid, yeah, yeah
Workin' at the pyramid tonight, yeah
Workin' at the pyramid, oh, I
Workin' at the pyramid tonight, yeah
Workin' at the pyramid, ooh
Workin' at the pyramid tonight
Workin' at the pyramid

You showed up after work, I'm bathin' your body
Touch you in places only I know
You're wet and you're warm just like our bathwater
Can we make love before you go?
The way you say my name makes me feel like
I'm that nigga, but I'm still unemployed
You say it's big, but you take it
Ride cowgirl
But your love ain't free no more, baby
But your love ain't free no more

She's workin' at the pyramid tonight (oh, woah)
Workin' at the pyramid, yeah
Workin' at the pyramid tonight, yeah
Workin' at the pyramid, that's right
Workin' at the pyramid tonight, yeah
Workin' at the pyramid, ooh
Workin' at the pyramid tonight
Workin' at the pyramid
Workin' at the pyramid tonight
