I'm no longer a queen

I was born in a city, filled with lust and agony
where people, like animals, slunk through the grim half- light
In an instant someone came
someone who speaks boldly for the right cause

Didn’t matter if I whispered or screamed
Nothing really ever came out
People obsessed with lies
we all fell for mess, guess it’s masa calling us back.
A no brainer ,a headache and basically just a heartbreak

Dishonored and shamed, I’m so fucking full of rage
those white folks just stood by and watched them slaughter my whole race

fear and agony filled my body, I sold my soul to the devil.
I let him climb onto my back like the white folks used to.
Consumed by the thoughts and I let him tear me apart.
The crown I used bear is now gone, I’m no longer a queen .

they all tore that apart, trying to strip me of my title and take away my dream
But I know deep inside that one day I’ll rise.
like a lion from it’s slumber
I will tear apart those chains that hold us down under
Stand up for my rights and provoke a fight
I know that they’ll never let me survive

So I call out to my brothers and sisters
To the survivors and victims
we rise together and stand tall
Clenching our fists high up in the sky
knowing that there is no turning back

I am radical
I am violent
I am stubborn
I am angry
You can even call me crazy .
