[Verse One]

This not a song to gas a girl head

Or get a girl to bed

A proclamation that the queen been shot and dead

Cause way too many peers of mine kick rhymes

Throwing lines like "queen" in they vocab and at the same time

Grind on a woman at the club while the wife

Spend the night with his kid, he see his life like a bid

While his wife by the shit that he did while words fly

So I'm here to check these brothers, tell these sister's they lying

I know these players out here

Gon' say I'm blocking that cock

Thing is I'm man enough to step up and the rest of y'all not

Some of y'all got daughters and all of y'all got moms

Y'all been treating other women like y'all I hate y'all mom

Kanye had a mama who taught women at Clark

But when he raps he be tearing young women apart

Huh...right?

Somebody check me if I'm wrong

Take a bad yellow bitch make her drop them drawers

The queen's dead

[Hook] {x4}

Boom bye, bye I heard the queen was dead

I heard the queen was dead

I heard the queen was dead


[Verse Two]

This is why I don't refer to women as "queens"

Cause you got fingers like me, can squeeze an M16

You a soldier like me so until our people are free

The title "queen" means shit, I don't feel like a king

They'll hold you up in such a way, it's just a new way to play

Cause in the way a person treat you, go beyond what they say

This is a twist on the word "bitch" with just a little switch

Mind sex, mind games, the authentic-ness

Is self taught through the wrongs that I've made and still make

Me and Krish we wildin' up in each other's face

I can't lie, like it's all peace, but in these dark streets

I bet my life she'll be the first to pull a trey pound piece

And do a bid for me

And take a life for me

That ain't the actions of a bourgeois-zee queen to me

Right?

Somebody check me if I'm wrong

It's the new patriarchy in a conscious song

The queen's dead


[Hook]


[Verse Three]

Listen, I would rather brothers call you "queen" than "bitch"

But if the intent behind it is motivated by sex

Then genuine it's prolly not

So that's why I said, "the queen's dead"

So I call you a "soldier" instead

I said, I would rather brothers call you "queen" than "bitch"

But if the intent behind it is motivated by sex

Then genuine it's prolly not

So that's why I said, "the queen's dead"

So I call you a "soldier" instead
