Can't believe I forgot I was the dopest in town
Can't believe I forgot I wore the spiritual crown
Can't believe you would believe that I'm down, I'm not out
The heads of the throne, I'ma give you some runnin' around
Can't believe I, can't believe I, can't believe I, can't believe I, can't believe I, can't
believe I, the heads of the throne, I'ma give you some runnin' around
I do the runnin' about, man of the house You do the blubber around, what's that about?
Rubbery mouth, look at the queen of the south Get out my way, you need alternative routes
Picture perfect, then I'll frame it like this This ain't no regular chattery, bitch
Used to be nice, but I'm born again I cleansed my mind, I cleansed my grind, and
now I'm in Focused on writing these poems, quill penning
like Beyoncé A lot of these rumors imploded
Eagle on mics and I'm soaring Metal on wood and I'm sawing
You'd only wish that I had died Feeling immortal, alright
Long live the feminine stride Long live the right in society
OG's are riding You owe the queen an apology
Capitalizing on murdering letters ABC could defeat that
I'm a hybrid, distinctly moving swiftly I think the most imperative thing about
the African mind is that we seem to forget that everything that has, was created by us
was taken from us and recreated again So we think it's a new ideal
But in actual fact, it was created and owned by us to begin with
Can't believe I forgot I was the dopest in town Can't believe I forgot I was a spiritual crown
Can't believe you would believe that I'm down, I'm not out
The heads of the throne, I'ma give you some running around
Can't believe I, can't believe I, can't believe I, can't believe I, can't believe I, can't believe I,
can't believe I, yeah, yeah, yeah The heads of the throne, I'ma give you some running around
And you know, the funniest thing, or rather the funniest comment that I've heard is
about how I diluted my sound, changed the kind of songs I'm on, like she's on house songs,
she's on gospel songs, she's on different songs, like in comparison to where I was,
you know, where I started hip-hop And I just think, in order to preserve
a culture and something that was so rich and diverse, I have to do those things
As much as I'm a female hip-hop artist, by the way, I just feel like hip-hop was born in Africa,
right, it's Imboyi, all the way back to the 16th century So I'm here to really
manifest, manifest in whatever sound, whatever genre, keeping my culture alive and keeping
our culture alive should be the prerogative of every influential person, you know?
It's one thing to spit about, you know, rims and having money, but it's another to appreciate
your culture and where you're from that can never be taken from you
