[Intro: Dende]
No-no
No-no-no-no
[Verse 1: Dende]
Wait
Blacker than night, blacker than Kunta (That's black as hell)
The sweeter the juice, the darker the fruit was
I've been searchin' love with the milk and honey
It's funny, spent my life lookin' for somethin' that's right in front me
Black queen, seem to be akin to Nefertiti
Afrocentric features perfectly positioned where they 'posed to be
You're powerful
It's amplified when standin' next to me
You proud, I know
Your genes trace back to being royalty
You and me is love
(That's love, that's love)
Your cocoa butter fragrance takes me up
Shea butter baby, you're my dove
Wait, and I just really can't, I can't get enough
[Chorus: Dende & Lakeita Valon]
(Yeah, yeah) I hope you know your worth, black queen
Your fire might the way you walk and talk and smile
Is it your confidence that makes it worthwhile?
Dark skinned child, I hope you're proud
(I hope you're proud)
[Verse 2: Chris Patrick & Lakeita Valon]
I said the blacker the berry, the sweeter you speak
So attractive in stature, your queenship elite
You hold your passion in rapture by seeking your peace
Can't let distractions play factor in dreams you hold deep
She said, "Back in the day when we was young
But we not kids anymore"
Caress this body in a grown way like we meant for this
Behind every first lady is a line of holy empress
Decendin' of [?] where her truth dissolves the emptiness
Oh, I love to see Nubian goddess
So high, confidence exudes its brightness in the
Low lights, so right
I would love to see you truly flourish, baby, you gotta grow
You been gifted with the pigment of gold
Super witted, we intelligence
God forsake the man who tried to pacify your elegance
'Cause caged birds fly the highest on the wings of lifted melanin
[Chorus: Dende & Lakeita Valon]
(Yeah, yeah) I hope you know your worth, black queen
Your fire, might the way you walk and talk and smile
Is it your confidence that makes it worthwhile
Dark skinned child, I hope you're proud
(I hope you're proud)
