Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna be yeah,, I wanna be, yeah
An African queen
I wanna be yeah,, I wanna be, yeah
[Verse 2]
I wanna be, I wanna be, yeah
An African queen
Beads down to my feet, yeah
Just time for me to see and you to dream
[Verse 3]
Big booty till the day I go
I never let what you think of me
Hold and sell for your dirt, just go, yeah
[Verse 4]
No, you don't like me
'Cause I don't do what I see
I get around on my own two feet
Guess I just don't show enough
To get what's in my cup filled up
So, I work hard for what I want
You know you pay more for my love
[Verse 5]
And I
Don't gotta say I do, don't gotta say I told ya
And I
Don't gotta say I do, don't gotta say I told ya
[Verse 6]
Everybody tryna be a bad girl, fit into a man's world
When we inevitably, we, we run this world
Power to she who knows she's a queen
Who knows she's a queen, yeah, power to she, yeah
[Verse 7]
I wanna be, I wanna be
[Verse 8]
Yeah, she got that juice, yeah, she got that crown for the juice
Box with a case and suit, yeah, everybody stop when she move
Uncle Sammin' in this bitch, she a choice, when she march, we salute
No ill 'cause she coming for the win, yeah
Controlling everybody like a Sim, yeah
[Verse 9]
Took her to the top, now she sipping on lock, go dark
She ain't giving out the pin
Overtime, double up, double like a twin
Gotta work, work, work for the little that she get
[Verse 10]
African queen and she taking out the best
Mama do the most when you look at the rest, no, no
[Verse 11]
And I
Don't gotta say I do, don't gotta say I told ya
No, I don't gotta say I do, yeah
Don't gotta say I do, don't gotta say I told ya
[Verse 12]
I be queening twenty-four seven
And I never need a reason, African queen
No, I never need a reason
[Verse 13]
Everybody tryna be a bad girl, fit into a man's world
When we inevitably, we, we run this world
Power to she who knows she's a queen
Who knows she's a queen, yeah, power to she, yeah
[Verse 14]
And I
Don't gotta say I do, don't gotta say I told ya
I be queening twenty-four seven
And I never need a reason
Don't gotta say I do, don't gotta say I told ya
[Verse 15]
I be queening twenty-four seven
And I never need a reason, African queen
No, I never need a reason
[Verse 16]
Under the weather, yeah
When I'm under the weather
Under the weather, yeah
