Queen's Ground Rules

[Verse]
Crown on my head, can't snatch what’s divine,
Step on my throne, you’ll be buried in time.
I’m a diamond, cut sharp, pressure refined,
Beautiful Black queen, my essence designed.

Gracious with the glide, but I move with the grind,
Brains in the mix, leave 'em all misaligned.
They trip on my shine, try to take what’s mine,
But the earth opens up, and swallows the blind.

[Chorus]
Don’t play, don’t test, I don’t play about mine,
Roots run deep, like the oak and the pine.
Mess with my peace, you’ll be down in the ground,
I’m a queen, hold the crown, and I don’t back down.

[Verse 2]
Smart moves on the board, call it chess not checkers,
Flow slick like silk, but my mind's a dissector.
Grace in my stance, elegance my protector,
If envy’s your vibe, then I’m your deflector.

They stoop low, throwing shade, can’t reach my heights,
I’m the dawn, bringing warmth, they the thief of the night.
Every word I pen, sharp enough to ignite,
This Black queen’s beauty, both fierce and polite.

[Bridge]
I rise, I rise, even when they plot,
Wisdom in my veins, can’t erase what I got.
Grounded in my roots, but I aim for the stars,
I’m the future and the past, written deep in the scars.
