you ly covered between hidden legacies of history
laced into every single breath taken
by any person who can come to self realiztion
that you are not our burden
i bear witness to anyone who dare confronts this opression
because its gone too far for too long
i cant keep this tradition
from lingering into your mind set
so i accuse you for not knowing yet
that our queens ly dormant
under decades of discrimination
and segregation...but we must be reminded
that they once ruled our lands or i mean Hearts
as they still do in mine
this is an ode to my queens from all countries
and i will risk it all just for your story to be told
i will raise my voice and lift spirits
sing your songs so your people
will know every word
because no one has the right
to denegrate the eloquence you speak
and ive seen so many voices pushed down
because of sisters who dont believe
that they have a choice
so heres your chance
QUEENS! let your hearts Fucken SING!
because thats all you need
to overcome this disease and be free
and your so much better than you think
cuz ive seen so many eyes stare you
up and down your figure...it doesnt matter
they should keep their eyes on yours
because if they really knew you
then they would realize you have so much
to offer beyond premium jeans and face-covers
and i hate when i see that they dont treat you right
id be so grateful that i have a queen with her culture
embedded into her sleeves, her beauty draped in her voice
and her dignitiy hung around her neck
because it was within her embrace that I exist
and when she speaks
silence becomes jealous from the beauty her voice sings
and no, youve never seen what really burns
until youve learned that our queens were burned
deeply rooted nightmares echoe through their minds
so dont say you could relate
because you dont fit Her shoes...
and i pray every night that we become
one step closer to your emancipation
i know youve been through too much
but i know my vision
you are pure PASSION
so I PASS ON my inspiration
to those who want to know that our women
are the true blessings given by gods grace from heaven
and i hope my women have enough will
to portray themselves as queens
wear their golden pendants in their chests proudly
walk down the streets without doubting
reach their goals struggling
and smile without anyone else smiling
cuz queens are implemented into culture
where her beauty is beyond what anyone could define
the finest beauty our Culture, she defined...
so stand tall
so i can ONLY look up to you
and hope someday my daughter could have
someone to look up to too.
so queens i stand up for you through it all
let your story unfold for everyone to hear
and just hope, hope that you will
be loved unconditionally.
