I wanna be, yea
I wanna be, yea
An African queen
I wanna be, yea
I wanna be, yea
I wanna be, I wanna be, yea
An African queen
Beads down to my feet, yea
Just time for me to see and you to dream
Big booty 'til the day I go
And never let what you think of me holding 'self for ya, duh
Let's go, yea (Go yea, go yea)
Know you don't like me 'cause I don't do what I see
I get around on my two feet, yea
Guess I just don't show enough to get what's in my cup filled up
So I work hard for what I want
You know you pay more for my love
(And I) Don't got to say I do
Don't got to say I do, yea
(And I) Don't got to say I do
Don't got to say I do, jeh
(Jeh, jeh)
Everybody's tryna be a bad girl
Fit into a man's world
When we, inevitably
Yea, we run this word
Power to she
Who knows she is a queen
Who knows she is a queen, yea
Power to she, yea
I wanna be, yea
I wanna be, yea
Yea, she got the juice
Yea, she got the crown for the juice
Boss with a case and a suit
Yea, everybody stop when she move
Uncle Sam-in' in this bitch, she enjoys what she finds with salute
No "L" 'cause she coming for the win, yeah
Controlling everybody like a sin, yeah
Took it to the top now she super on lock
Go dark she ain't giving out the pin
Over time, double up, double like a twin
Got to work, work, work for the little that she get
African queen and she taking out her best
Mama do the most when you looking at the rest, no, no
(And I) don't got to say I do
Don't got to say I do, yea
No, I don't got to say I do, yea
Don't got to say I do
Don't got to say I do, jeh
(I be queenin' twenty four seven and I never need a reason)
(African queen, no I never need a reason)
Everybody's tryna be a bad girl
Fit into a man's world
When we, inevitably
Yea, we run this word
Power to she
Who knows she is a queen
Who knows she is a queen, yea
Power to she, yea
(And I) I don't got to say I do
Don't got to say I do, yea
(I be queenin' twenty four seven and I never need a reason)
Don't got to say I do
Don't got to say I do, yea
(I be queenin' twenty four seven and I never need a reason)
(African queen, no I never need a reason)
(Under the weather, yea)
(When I'm under the weather)
(Under the weather, yea)
