Lyrics
This is the story of the destruction of the matriarch
Got grown women wanting to be princesses
And I just can't subscribe to that, I'm sorry
They tell us half the story, but they never start from the beginning
An ugly truth for sure, but it is what it is, you know
21 hundred years ago we moved from Aries
Ram the male, Ewe female, Lamb the baby
Then the lamb a God, moved to the age of Pisces
Fished for some humans, Aquarius age, this is true
Once upon a time we had matriarch society
Women deities were worshipped, that's the irony
Women leadership mattered, no matter the tribe you were in
Auset and Ma'at
Two words can change the plot
Way too many heroes, nowadays we need a shero
Pity for the men who look at women as a zero, zero, zero
Type of man raised by his mother, still look himself as the hero
Laughing and stock
Made by the bills he got
But he got a lot of money, so her panties gon' drop
He getting rewarded, why stop
The bills paid, why not
Succumb our women to a dollar
They say that would make her holler
Western world took the script, changed a lot of it
Crusades destroyed the matriarch, inflate the opposite
Created Christianity from the order of Christendom
Then used brutal force to enforce their belief system
From that point on, our women became the victims
Lost in their duties, I wonder who put them to it
Who could blame them
Psyche hit with some hay makers
Witness mutilation and murder of her babies
Wombs were cut open, babies fallen to the pavement
Limbs of men tied to different horses where the leg at
Babies sold on the block as easy as selling crack
Damn, I know it's hard to get past that
Black men have no chance, we gon' fall
We need our roots back, please, we need our queens back
The root of all evil is the ignorance of a people
I see it clearly, like I'm looking through a peephole
Unconsciousness is evil, silly people
The book of revelations ain't nothing but a sequel
Unlearn what he wrote, that's his story, not our story
Be God enough to move through the loopholes
A good lie is half-truth, you need the other half to see those
For real
Truth need multiple perspectives to be exposed
I told y'all, I broke the code
A great king can't make a queen
Without a queen the world fold
Our princesses gotta grow
Back to the story
Simp treatment enables weakness, only fools gon' support it
Please don't ignore this
How you want a solution, and not stress to earn it
Man ain't masculine enough, is always the story
Truth is, they don't know their story
That's why I worry
One second you wanna be Queen B
Then you wanna be a passenger princess
I mean, I'm trying to understand, but make it make sense
I'll wait
Can't comprehend femininity
Gucci, Louis, they're remedy
Give a bag, they let you in
They don't need a man if he don't make six figures
Guess government assistant makes a better man than us niggas
Like Tory, I'm pulling triggers
Weak man lost in their ego, don't wanna hear this
You can't do it on your own
Little man, you not that strong
Money don't make you a great man
Stop me if I'm wrong
Women leadership matter just as much as our own
When the queens go claim their throne
