Rapsody, Queen Latifah - Hatshepsut lyrics

Yeah

You telling me this (You telling me this)
You telling me that (You telling me that)
I promise once you been with me
Baby you'll never go back (Never go back)
Queens'll always have your back (Always)
I'm thinking Roberta Flack (yeah)
First time I ever saw your face I
Fell in love just like that (I fell in love)
I know your burden gets bad
You take and carry my bags we cry together
Hold you down the days you broken and sad
And I'ma always keep it real
No I don't care if you mad (I don't care)
I'm here to make you better
I'm just like Coretta in fact
See only Kings would understand just
How that metaphor match (You dig)
Latifah still a Queen
I'm just tryna follow her path (You dig)
A long walk to freedom
Winnie fought through all of the wrath
I got a number if you want it
I got all of the math
All my hoodlums, I think all
Of us are good ones, saint Claire
I see the God in you
Even if we different than Claire
(Even if we different though)
I know we all different when we paid (yeah)
Been through a lot
We got a lot still to repair
(We workin' on it)
Did it all with love, God, and Jesus (Amen)
World in his palms, Akeem still needed Lisa
(He needed her) i hope he treats her better
Than Tommy Boy treated Keisha (For sure)
You gotta love your Queen 'cause God
Knows that you need her, it's real
(It's real) u-N-I T-Y

Even living single we connected by the tribe
Was raised by a Queen, know how to be one
And love one and raise a King
When he's older I'll describe
How to love 'em
Queens come in all shapes and colors
Though we sit on thrones we don't
Look down on each other
I learned how to rule from
My mother and my aunties
Got the blood of the Asante
I could be Cleo or Ghandi to protect mine
It's peace of mind, word to Jersey
I'm a giant
A Queen's pride stronger than the lions
Connected by alliance, sisterhood
The day you try to test me
Look homie I wish you would
Open doors for the ladies as
A Queen like I should
That's why I'm Queen Latifah
In every village, every hood
And I'm good, and every city worldwide
And why I been reigning for
The last twenty five
So all hail the Queens and
The next ones to arrive
Came out of Jersey with naughty
Dudes and hella drive
Just another day above ground
Working my thighs, we runnin' it
Member the days me and 'Pac
We had some fun with this
When I would bust you dead in your eye
That's called humblin'
Been holding the torch, I don't fumble it
I'm a child of God versus son of men
Tellin' 'em
It's a clear shot to the top and
I ain't talking guns and gin
Just so all the Queens know that
Every single one of them has a throne, spot
Crown that I been proud to rock
All my blood royal and
That's word to Lancelot
From the soil to the sun, you stunned
It ain't no shock another black reign
Came to water and nourish the crop
That's why we flourish on top
Just call us Queens (Call us Queens)
Yeah, yeah, ha
