Former Duchess
Lyrics
I've been hearing what they've been sayin'
There's no reason to play
You might as well just come out and say it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Say it to my face
Is that a boy in a dress?
Must be something wrong in his head
Don't get upset, but I don't understand
Why doesn't he just be gay instead?
I wonder if I kick him in the street, would he play dead?
If he's towin' the line, who does he lay with?
If I put two bodies in the basement, which one would he pick?
Does it matter, are you chasing?
I think they chasin' me, they wanna see my fantasy
Can't love me so they hate on me
Their brains are made of vacancies, AH!
Not really scared of me, just scared of their identity
Can't comprehend what they do not believe
But, I am the Qween
I am that bitch
Don't need you to see my life is valid
I dug through the dirt to form my own crown
Mined my gold from the inside out
I killed the King's horses and all the King's men
The demons and devils that danced in my head
I looked in the mirror and punched that bitch out
Now, I'm ready for my kingdom in the clouds
(In the clouds)
So, listen up, here to take my thrown
Not a lazy bitch, but I wanna sit down
So gather my people, gather around
I've gotta few things I'd like to announce
First thing, never lose your power to a king
Your sanity is never worth a fuckin' diamond ring
'Cause once you slip it on it comes with lots of heavy strings
Have you wishing that you'd done it right, and chased your fuckin' dreams
What's next? Never sell your soul just for a check
That money isn't gonna mean a thing after your death
Invest your time, so that you can smile and reflect
So many of us wish that we could do it all again
But, you don't have to be one of the wishin'
You can do it too if you'll stop all your second guessin'
Forget about the pain and baby focus on your blessings
I wouldn't be teachin' if I hadn't learned the lesson
And, I wouldn't preachin' if I hadn't read the book
Gotta get ingredients if you wanna learn to cook
Mix it all together 'til you leave these bitches shook
Make 'em wait forever baby, never play your rook
'Cause monsters always hide inside the night, the little crooks
They're never gonna give you back what they already took
So, grab it for yourself, change your life and take a look
I think I'm outta time so let me jump onto the hook, YUH!
I am the Qween
I am that bitch
Don't need you to see my life is valid
I dug through the dirt to form my own crown
Mined my gold from the inside out
I killed the King's horses and all the King's men
The demons and devils that danced in my head
I looked in the mirror and punched that bitch out
Now, I'm ready for the kingdom to bow down
I've been hearing what they've been sayin'
There's no reason to play
You might as well just come out and say it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Say it to my face
Is that a boy in a dress?

Don't get upset, but I don't understand
