Black Queen
Black Queen
I have to come clean
As I have foreseen
The outcome of our relationship
It started at fourteen

Fourteen
Wide-eyed with pride
I was only friends with guys
I believed girls only carried lies
And cries, and eyes
That death stared into my soul

With all the fake compliments
It's common sense
That, that shit got old
Quickly
I mean quicker than ever
I could throw my sister under the bus and never even utter
A sound of grief
I felt relief
To be amongst the guys

Although most saw me as nothing but
Thick thighs, wide eyes
In an innocent mind
To be corrupted
Bare jokes and bare strokes
Just waiting for the course of our friendship to get interrupted

That one chance, one dance
To party inside me
Then glance
Over to the next one
The next conquest
The next black queen to dethrone
While watching us fight in the contest for love

Laying up in bed holding our pillows all alone
Waiting for a reason to pick up the phone
Hiding the truth from your sisters cause often they were prone to
Talk shit
But never admit
That they are alone too

Truly I see you right there
You're never alone
Never alone
Never alone
Never
I see you right there
You're never alone
Never alone
Never alone
Never alone

Black Queen
Black Queen
I don't mean to be mean
But I mean
Y'all were never really nice to me
In the long run
If y'all knew the stories I had to share
You'd actually question how I managed to bare

The
The
The... longing to have girlfriends to call on
The yearning to have my black queens to fall back on
The days I thought what he was saying isn't really making much sense
Then wanting to speak freely to my sisters
I repent

I was never the greatest
I wasn't always someone you could talk to
I was programmed to value "the love of your life"
Before my sisters who have gone through
THE EXACT SAME THING

No really why was I asking men before women about sex
Why was I googling how to connect with divine femininity
that journey was complex

How have we become subjects to the repercussions of listening to men
Repercussions of believing that your soul mate is attached to who you make love to
Repercussions of past relationships that fall through
Repercussions of giving a man a million chances and cutting your sister off after one Mistake
Lie to me and say you've never been in one of these circumstances
I know you can relate

But
Black Queen
Black Queen
How can we demonstrate
I mean appreciate
Each other

Does that mean we have to heal the broken relationships with our mothers?
Does that mean we shouldn't give our entire lives to our lovers?
Does that mean we should be hot girls outside of just summer?
Does that mean treating each other like brothers?
Does that mean we should appreciate other Queens outside of our Color?
Does that mean life is in the trenches and it is time to join hands and take cover?
Does that mean we won't allow any more of our sisters to suffer?

The answer is: Yes

They been aiming at you since the 9th grade
When your hips came in and your pants got stained
When they told you bust matters more than brain
When they lied and said that we're all the same

You're made that you are competing
When you're victim of the oppressor's game
They use guilt and shame to control you
Lies to your face while upholding the old views

Now you're left and lonely
Cover the scars
Of your wounds that go generations deep
Hating the cover girl on your favourite magazine
While forgetting that she is just as lonely

Ain't that right shawdy?

Walls set high and hefty
Would you put them down
Let the whole world see you

Are you ready?

*Sigh*

I see you

Do you really?

Inhale

Ohhhh
Ohhhhhhhhhh

Te ba gba mi gbo oju ona le wa
I had to hit y'all with the Yoruba
Heads up, eyes wide, fists up
Sit up.
Feel that?
Touch you in your medulla

Eledumare
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?

Eledumare
Do you hear me?
Do you hear me?

E fi ominira fun awon ti won mo omo Eni ti won se

Sam what can we say
We rep Najia each and every day

Awaken your mind and you'll see
You're never alone
