[Verse 1]
Ambitions and accolades, what did you go do today?
How did you go spend your day? I work hard, I'm gettin' 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 workin', Ms. Destiny, you workin', Ms. Destiny
You workin', Ms. Destiny, you workin', Ms. Destiny

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

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