Because I'm a queen
Excerpt lyrics from a song entitled "Because I'm a queen" by India Arie.
Because I'm a queen
Sometimes I shave my legs and sometimes I don't
Sometimes I comb my hair and sometimes I won't
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
but I learned to love myself unconditionally
because I am a queen
I'm not the average from your video
my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
no matter what I'm wearing I will always be
India Arie
Depend on how the wind blows I might even paint my toes
It really just depends on whatever feels good in my soul
I'm not the average from your video
and I ain't built like a supermodel
but I learned to love myself unconditionally
because I am a queen
I'm not the average from your video
my worth is not determined by the price of my clothes
no matter what I'm wearing I will always be
India Arie
When I look in the mirror and the only one there is me
every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
and I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
my feet my thighs my lips my eyes I'm loving what I see
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows
but I've drawn the conclusion
It's all an illusion
confusion's the name of the game
a misconception a vast deception,
Something's got to change
Don't be offended this is all my opinion
Ain't nothing that I'm saying law
this is a true confession
of a life-learned lesson
I was sent here to share with y'all
so get in when you fit in
go on and shine
clear your mind
now's the time
put your salt on the shelf
go on and love yourself (love yourself)
'cause everything's gonna be alright (love yourself)
every freckle on my face is where it's supposed to be
and I know my creator didn't make no mistakes on me
my feet my thighs my lips my eyes I'm loving what I see
Am I less of a lady if I don't wear pantyhose
My mama said a lady ain't what she wears but what she knows
but I've drawn the conclusion
It's all an illusion
confusion's the name of the game
a misconception a vast deception,
Something's got to change
Don't be offended this is all my opinion
Ain't nothing that I'm saying law
this is a true confession
of a life-learned lesson
I was sent here to share with y'all
so get in when you fit in
go on and shine
clear your mind
now's the time
put your salt on the shelf
go on and love yourself (love yourself)
'cause everything's gonna be alright (love yourself)
"Jesus Christ loves you and died for you."
