AWAKENING (feat. Sammuel)

Black Queen Black Queen I have to come clean As I have foreseen The outcome of our relationship It started at fourteen Fourteen Wide-eyed with pride I was only friends with guys I believed girls only carried lies And cries, and eyes That death stared into my soul With all the fake compliments It's common sense That, that shit got old Quickly I mean quicker than ever I could throw my sister under the bus and never even utter A sound of grief I felt relief To be amongst the guys Although most saw me as nothing but Thick thighs, wide eyes In an innocent mind To be corrupted Bare jokes and bare strokes Just waiting for the course of our friendship to get interrupted That one chance, one dance To party inside me Then glance Over to the next one The next conquest The next black queen to dethrone While watching us fight in the contest for love Laying up in bed holding our pillows all alone Waiting for a reason to pick up the phone Hiding the truth from your sisters cause often they were prone to Talk shit But never admit That they are alone too Truly I see you right there You're never alone Never alone Never alone Never I see you right there You're never alone Never alone Never alone Never alone Black Queen Black Queen I don't mean to be mean But I mean Y'all were never really nice to me In the long run If y'all knew the stories I had to share You'd actually question how I managed to bare The The The... longing to have girlfriends to call on The yearning to have my black queens to fall back on The days I thought what he was saying isn't really making much sense Then wanting to speak freely to my sisters I repent I was never the greatest I wasn't always someone you could talk to I was programmed to value "the love of your life" Before my sisters who have gone through THE EXACT SAME THING No really why was I asking men before women about sex Why was I googling how to connect with divine femininity that journey was complex How have we become subjects to the repercussions of listening to men Repercussions of believing that your soul mate is attached to who you make love to Repercussions of past relationships that fall through Repercussions of giving a man a million chances and cutting your sister off after one Mistake Lie to me and say you've never been in one of these circumstances I know you can relate But Black Queen Black Queen How can we demonstrate I mean appreciate Each other Does that mean we have to heal the broken relationships with our mothers? Does that mean we shouldn't give our entire lives to our lovers? Does that mean we should be hot girls outside of just summer? Does that mean treating each other like brothers? Does that mean we should appreciate other Queens outside of our Color? Does that mean life is in the trenches and it is time to join hands and take cover? Does that mean we won't allow any more of our sisters to suffer? The answer is: Yes They been aiming at you since the 9th grade When your hips came in and your pants got stained When they told you bust matters more than brain When they lied and said that we're all the same You're made that you are competing When you're victim of the oppressor's game They use guilt and shame to control you Lies to your face while upholding the old views Now you're left and lonely Cover the scars Of your wounds that go generations deep Hating the cover girl on your favourite magazine While forgetting that she is just as lonely Ain't that right shawdy? Walls set high and hefty Would you put them down Let the whole world see you Are you ready? *Sigh* I see you Do you really? Inhale Ohhhh Ohhhhhhhhhh Te ba gba mi gbo oju ona le wa I had to hit y'all with the Yoruba Heads up, eyes wide, fists up Sit up. Feel that? Touch you in your medulla Eledumare Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Eledumare Do you hear me? Do you hear me? E fi ominira fun awon ti won mo omo Eni ti won se Sam what can we say We rep Najia each and every day Awaken your mind and you'll see You're never alone
