Does anybody know a tune that has these lyrics:

"this is how it feels to be a neighborhood queen" (roughly translated, hell I could be completely off)

It was played on the radio station 1490 AM in Tucson 13 years ago, once.

It could have been some local female rapper but I'm not sure.

She talks about her CKs (calvin kleins)

God, can "Back That Azz Up" really be from the '90s? I'm adding it.
