Thank You God for my queen
From head to toe, regal and serene
Beautiful brown cinnamon pearl
Brown sugar completes my world
With Venus in her stride, and Toni in her reading
And Halle in her berry, and Angela when she's leading
Chaka in her calm, Beyonce in her dance
Giovanni in her speech, Cleopatra in her stance
Anita in her song, Pam in her hips
Terri in her foreplay, Lauren in her lips
Sanaa in her smile, Regina in her eyes
Debra in her locks, Serena in her thighs—yes!
Thank You God for my queen.
Thank You God for my queen
From day to day, staying supreme
Indescribable strength, passed along
From a caged bird with a somber song
From massa gettin' his to increase his stock
To the mama sewing up everyone's sock
From phenomenal women in the volatile past
Who made assassinated husband's memories last
From Coretta Scott, she received the poise
To ignore the tempest created in negro noise
From Mrylie Evers, she learned to persevere
When circimstances become quite severe
From Betty X, she foresaw the tuggle
Of those who seek to betray the struggle
And because she embraced her noble heritage
She knew the importance of Black marriages—yes!
Thank you God for my queen.
Thank you God for my queen
From moment to moment, truly a dream
For all the heart-ache she had to overcome
For all the half-truths that are overblown
For being the sista to show her beauty
Without wearing a thong in her exposed booty
In public view or pictured online for sure
Next to some clown wearing scarlet velour
Security and dignity both in her grasp
Never to be sullied no matter who asks
Profanity and vanity are forever forbidden
And using the n-word? Not even for kiddin'
I pinch myself until there's a bruise
For I have me a queen I will never lose
Until the day she or I are called above
And even then it won't cease the love—yes!
Thank you God for my queen!
