I know why you allow them to depict you that way in videos
And every time I turn on BET, there you go
Wearing something smaller, skimpier or not even there
Half of the time I don’t even know who the artist is, I’m like who cares
See at times, I get transfixed on the eye candy they lay before me
And I’m only human so there are points impure thoughts come to storm me
If you only knew that your real name is Queen Nafertiti
That you should be the owner of these record labels not dancing on TV
Frivolous acts with empty vessels of men parading about with jewels around their neck
Dropping it like it’s hot, is hot, come on now the queen before you raised you better then that
You are the daughter of Ra and Nut the goddess of the sky
The only reason the sun shines
The reason the stars come to greet our unworthy imaginations
You are the queen that has been thrown unjustly from her throne
Left about the mud and forgotten
You are the mighty Nile, our African blood line
They’ve built reservoirs and dams so they have forgotten about you
Choose to use you and mold you the way they feel fit
That’s why they think they can throw some money around and you’ll dance for it…
See its starts with ownership, you got to walk like a queen
Hold your head up a little higher; you got to talk like a queen
So that means:
*****, Chick, Ho and anything else that demeans
You don’t even bat an eyelash let alone show up on scene
Because I know, there is just no amount of green
That could get the woman that I call queen
To do some of the ***** that I done seen
So queens, start teaching these princesses
That wearing dresses
Doesn’t only have to occur during something festive
Or during a memorial
Cause I’ve seen four of you
Get together and wear something that’s absolutely deplorable
I mean honestly
Your majesty
I expect more of you…
It just happens to be my point of view
And I should hope that you should want more for you too
So let the sun shine on your sea
Be the queen I know you can be
