Woman shouts out Lil' Kim's 'Quiet Storm (Remix)' bob-and-weave in helping her escape a shooting

“So I’m dodging, I’m ducking, I’m dodging, I’m ducking, I’m dodging, doing my 'Lil Kim'."

Hot damn ho, here we go again.

That must have run through young Shariah Taylor's head after the second shooting in a month at her Westgate Village apartment complex in Dothan, Ala.

Luckily, Taylor was able to escape the gunfire due, in part, to "doing my Lil' Kim" — ducking and dodging like the Queen Bee in the classic "Quiet Storm (Remix)" video.

Taylor described the actually terrifying incident to WTVY. The single mother was outside with her child when she suddenly heard about seven gun shots, which sent her scrambling to safety.

“So I’m dodging, I’m ducking, I’m dodging, I’m ducking, I’m dodging, doing my 'Lil Kim'," Taylor said. "I’m trying to get my baby in the car, then I threw my baby in the backseat, and we just sped off.”

Taylor's referring to the pop-and-lock bob-and-weave Kim debuted in the video for her collaboration with Mobb Deep on the 1999 remix to the duo's "Quiet Storm." For one of the raptress' greatest verses, Kim always busts out what has become known as the "Lil' Kim Dance" in which she simulates dodging bullets.

While Kim rapped about s--- knocking "for blocks through hardtops in the parking lots," Taylor lived to tell the tale. But she still doesn't feel safe in her apartment complex.

“If you stay in Westgate Village, stay in your house,” Taylor told WTVY. "That’s all I’ve got to say.”
