Emɐnuǝl X - Queens lyrics

[Verse 1: Emanuel X] Eventually the lights get low, and everyone around you Reveals their true intentions/ Like society did when they told black women to invest in hair extensions/ Making white the standard Raising racial tensions/ Subliminally sayin Don't love yourself/ Cuz if you can't love yourself You can't love someone else/ That's the root of hate add Money for the root of evil/ The most evil hate is hatin yourself based off how others see you/ You can't lie, I know you Cry behind closed doors/ And find strength In every Text you ignore/ Reflect on all the bad I did To Build your aggression/ Whether you love me or you hate Me Both reflect an obsession/ You can't regret me, I Never cheated on you hun/ But I know that you gon cheat With Me on your next one/ And maybe that's far fetched But so were we from the start/ f** who you marry I know you Wish it was me in your heart/ [Chorus: Emanuel X] Ladies, this world is.. (x2) And you gotta Understand that.. [Verse 2: Emanuel X] I Remember Our Daughters Name Was Supposed To Be Aloli/ Kept It Holy We Use To Pray Every night Before Bed/ She said In Heaven We Can't Recall People From Earth Then I Said/ I Don't Need To Remember You I'll Find You Again When We're Dead/ And things not better at Home My mom still cryin/ And I ain't got time - just Money, so I stay buyin/ sh** that'll never really Fill her emotions/ But that Marc Jacobs bag The color of love, hope that shows my devotion/ You're never too old for anything Mom, you're full of life/ Out here applying all you Taught Me, I'm just livin right/ My love for women comes From seeing your power/ Thankful for everything I learned from you just talking for hours/ I remember how you cried When you saw us at prom/ Appreciate how you loved her knowing that she lost her mom/ But Things don't always Work Out as you plan/ Sorry for what I put y'all thru While growing from boy to man/ [Chorus: Emanuel X] Ladies, this world is.. (x2) And you gotta Understand that.. [Verse 3: Emanuel X] They'll try to tell you my flaws Before they tell you my positives/ Believe all that you hear and you'll Never know what honest is/ Or why ya man cheats but You won't let him see you cry/ Cuz in your heart you fear the Truth and much rather live out a lie/ f** that, As a Woman be all you can be/ When it's all said and done I want you doin better than me/ You don't need a man You're Strong and independent/ If I ever broke your heart it Wasn't intended I Pray I mend it/ Men do a poor job Of reminding women their worth/ But I'm Thankful for you all You're the channel to earth/ Nothing more valuable than the Love of a woman and womb/ But even roses protect their Beauty In thorns just to bloom/ Be mad, but don't hate me Never meant to let you down/ Loves like water it can slip thru Your fingers or make you drown/ The fact you think this verse is For you is what makes it harder/ Cuz it's not, these are the j**els That I woulda dropped on our daughter/ [Chorus: Emanuel X] Ladies, this world is.. (x2) And you gotta Understand that..
