JasmineRenee - Black Queen Lyrics

Every time I'm asked to describe myself
Lord have mercy
Every I stare into the looking glass
What do I see
I see a beautiful, dark haired queen
Strong and confident is she
I see a pretty little woman who is becoming
Of age to know what she wants to do
What she wants from life and what she should not do
What she thinks and what she should be
But the world ain't ready
For this

Beautiful Black Queen
See the world ain't
Ready for this
Beautiful Black Queen
No
They don't want her if she ain't a strippa'
They don't want her if she smarter than them though
They don't want her if her body ain't perfect
Naw
They don't want her, they don't know nothin 'bout her
They don't want her is she ain't on the big screen
They don't want her if she don't cause jealousy
They don't want her if she ain't famous
See, they don't want her they
They don't want her they
Mmm

All these people try to define the color of our skin
But beauty is not skin deep
The naive may think that the darker we are
There's a slim chance of us being pretty

I'm preach on it (Preach girl)
Teach your girls love 'em hard nurture scars
Always believe in their dreams

In reality it ain't just what you see
Yet the curvy girl with the degree you never see

If you really take the time to get to know these girls
Rather Than play these girls
You'd know better

Take a chance to get to know these girls
Than ignore these girls
Then maybe you would know better

Take the time to get to know these girls
Learn these girls
Then maybe you would know better

Thought I told you
See the world ain't ready

I don't wanna
Keep repeating myself
But I, gotta lot to say
I don't wanna
Tire you folks out
But I'm, feelin' some kind of way
This is something that needs to be said
Something that needs to be heard
Something that needs to be fed
Swallowed and then learned
Swallowed then, swallowed and then, learned

Thought I told you
(They ain't listening)
Thought I told you
You see the world ain't ready
For this

Beautiful Black Queen
See the world ain't
Ready for this
Beautiful Black Queen
No
They don't want her if she ain't a strippa'
They don't want her if she smarter than them though
They don't want her if her body ain't perfect
Naw
They don't want her, they don't know nothin 'bout her
They don't want her is she ain't on the big screen
They don't want her if she don't cause jealousy
They don't want her if she ain't famous
See, they don't want her they

Don't be intimidated by my confidence
Or the fact when I walk
I switch my hips
Or these outspoken words that leave from my lips
Tryna' judge a black queen but don't know nothin' bout this

Don't be intimidated by my confidence
Or the fact when I walk
I switch my hips
Or these outspoken words that leave from my lips
Tryna' judge a black queen but don't know nothin' bout this

Thought I told you
Naw naw they aint listening
Aw naw they ain't hear me out
Thought I told you
The world ain't ready for
Me
