[Verse 1:]
Ambitions and accolades, what did you go do today?
How did you go spend your day?
I work hard, I'm getting paid
My schedule was full today, I'm 'bout to go all the way
I set off and hit the stage, ready to go do my thing

Well baby, my day was good
I worked hard and knocked on wood
I skipped meals and got no sleep
But this was the life for me

You working, Ms. Destiny [x4]

[Chorus:]
Cook, cook, you know I like to cook (yeah!)
Cheffin' in that kitchen, I don't need no cookbook [x4]

[Verse 2:]
Go 'head, bitch
Go do ya thing
You perfect in every way
You move past when others stay
You make moves and play the game
Ms. D, I'm already queen
I put that on everything
My mama she raised me good
I'm chic but I'm always hood

My manners impeccable
I'm always respectable
There's eloquence in my speech
I practice but never preach

My name is Ms. Destiny
I go hard in everything
I bring out the best in me
And do what is best for me
I excel, I'm excellent
My melanin's heaven sent
Got all of my haters bent
They gag, and I'm still content

[Chorus:]
Cook, cook, you know I like to cook
Cheffin' in that kitchen, I don't need no cookbook (yeah!) [x4]
