Anna-Lisa Kumoji - "Queen Bees"

Queen Bees

A day inside the life of any queen
Taste that privileged world of royalty
She doesn't have to work or worry 'bout the daily things
She wakes up shouting: "Servants, bring me tea"

If you're like me, you work your ass off
And settle for the crumbs, little crumbs
We gon' rely on someone else for happiness
In the end we're flying free
And we got all we need

My queen bees
If they don't like it, they can kiss our rings
My queen bees
We don't hide inside a hive
So don't you kill our vibe
Or we might sting

Used to dream of royal king-sized beds
With purple sating sheets, so luxurious
Thirty sets of china you could just throw at the wall
One for every day of the month and still have thirty more

Now you know that you don't need that
To be all you can be, even royalty
Not the average queen, A, C, or D
We're rewriting history
Rising up for you and me

My queen bees
If they don't like it, they can kiss our rings
My queen bees
We don't hide inside a hive
So don't you kill our vibe
Or we might sting

Oh ooh
Working hard, Monday 'til Sunday
Now we deserve some honey
Oh ohh
I feel the swarm is buzzing
Yeah, now our time is coming

For my queen bees
If they don't like it, they can kiss our rings
Queen bees
We don't hide inside а hive
So don't you kill our vibe
Or we might ѕting
