Black Queen

I am not the one, two, or three

But I will if you need me to be

I can only take so much before I feel the need to speak

For those who no longer can

And for those who look like me

You see, I am a Black Queen

My skin shines in the sun and glows at night

I raise hell with my strength and my might

But Im so graceful

To the point everyone wants a handful, a taste full

They praise my many attributes like my curves and my hues

Then run away when it's time to listen to my blues

That's never stopped me though

From walking with my head held high

Radiating confidence from my head to my toes

The most disrespected yet the most essential

'Cuz even when you think you've had enough you feel that gravity pull on your mental

That pull that's telling you without us there would be no culture

No inspiration for your fave celebrities, who are really just vultures

You see, I am a Black Queen

I knew my worth since my conception in my ancestor' wildest dreams

I am more than I am and all that you hope to be

This is a shared experience amongst all my Black Queens

We call it Black Girl Magic because wherever we go we leave no stone unturned

We uplift those around us because that's how our village raised us

We love harder than anyone because we know what it's like to feel rejected

But still have to rise again

We are special because God saw it fit for us to be

I'm not saying you aren't either, but I'm telling you what's inside of me

I am a Black Queen
