Alicia Keys - Queen of the Field (Patsey’s Song) lyrics

Queen of the field born among cotton
Life wasted picking ignore the screaming

Queen of the field born among cotton
Just a little girl a little girl forgotten
Born to cry born to die
Born to nothing once was a royal
Oh, such a beautiful face, yeah
Deep like the soil rich with disgrace, oh

Now made to lie
Made to lie with a dirty man, oh

Bed full of trees and a back baby
Life on a plantation

Born to cry born to die born to nothing, oh
Oh, no, no, no, no, nothing
Mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm mmm, mmm, mmm, mmm

Queen of the field born among cotton
Life wasted picking back road from whipping

Queen of the field eh, born among cotton
Just a little girl
Just a little girl forgotten born to cry
Born to die, oh
Born to scream not to dream, lord
Meant to dream not to scream, born a queen
Oh cotton, oh, cotton, aah
How you gonna survive it?
How yous gonna survive it?
Wanted nothing, nothing, nothing
