Queen of My Own Throne

[Verse]
Shy kid, back row, eyes on the floor,
Now I step in, they all drop to the core.
Mama raised a lion, not a lamb for the slaughter,
Turned whispers to roars, I’m her proudest daughter.

Villa views, champagne sippin' at dawn,
Came from the shadows, now my light's too strong.
Humble roots, yeah, but I don’t play meek,
Tongue sharp as a sword, I cut deep when I speak.

[Chorus]
Queen of my own throne, better bow when I say,
Haters talk loud, but they fade in the fray.
You don’t want this smoke, I was born to slay,
Strong, free, myself—ain’t no other way.

[Verse 2]
Haters wanna test, they don’t know my stripes,
I’ve been forged in fire, I’m the flame of life.
Used to second-guess, now I second to none,
They’re stuck in my dust while I rise with the sun.

Mama said, "Baby, don’t you shrink for their size,
They’ll hate on your power, but you keep your eyes
On the prize, on the stars, on the woman you’ll be,"
Now they can’t touch me—I’m wild, I’m free.

[Prechorus]
Every scar, every doubt, every tear I cried,
Built a fortress, now I’m fortified.
Every sneer, every laugh, every whispered tone,
Made me the ruler of my own zone.
