(Chorus)

Hey Maya

Maya Angelou

I wrote this song for you

Wish I could perform for you

But now you're up in the clouds

(Verse 1)

Black queen, wish you could sit down with this rap fiend

People telling me I'm exactly what this rap needs

But I want to be more than that if you ask me

I want to speak and reach people outside of this rapping

I want to juggle a life just like you did

Devote my time to my art poems and music

But you left before I could ask you the blueprint

How did you still keep a beautiful smile all through this

You were an activist, wrote great passages

Worked with King and Malcolm, and you also was an actress and

At the same time I see these pictures of you laughing and

Wanted to ask you how you maintained that happiness

How did you deal with the pressure was it stressful

Everyone coming to you because you're special

I got some feelings that I need to let the rest know

Heartbreak from the past that I hold but I should let go

Black queen...you motivated the world

Gave a voice to broken lost little girls

I hope you're dancing now in Heaven do your twirl

A second life lived as an angel what you've earned

You got it all

I know you were a blessing with God involved

Writing hand had more power than a lion's paw

Are you in heaven now still writing poems

(Chorus)

(Verse 2)

Why do we shame our women, and degrade our women

Rarely raise our women, or ever praise our women

Try to change and chain not repay our women

And when we think of survivors we never name our women

Look in the mirror queens don't stop at just Beyoncé

You are Destiny's Child now go and Run The World bae

Keep a smile on ya, know we proud of ya

Got a Halo and a crown on ya, she’s profound royal

The only B-Word you should call your woman is beautiful

You think that dime and a canine are identical

When I hear that dog term I SMH cause it's pitiful

You're calling her the dog, but really needing to picture you

Saying it to your friends about her because you think it's cool

Not realizing that this is the woman who wants her kids with you

Yes it's just a word but you're missing the whole principle

Speak of her like she's invincible not like she's invisible

It's probably hard to walk in your shoes

Can only give so much cause there's so much that you lose

But I love you for what you do to, Ms. Hill, Erykah Badu

Michelle, Oprah, Keys, Beyonce, and Angelou

(Chorus)
