I-20 - Ballad For A Queen lyrics
rate meBrother, help me!
Help me to do what's right
Help me to stop the slaughter of our children
Help me to put an end to the disrespect and to the dishonor
of the most valuable resource: the black woman!
I remember at the first time, yeah!
Chorus:
I wonder if I'm worthy of your patience and your loyalty
So I decided to remind you you're a royalty
Been with me through the hustle and the struggles in between
So dedicated, this a ballad for a queen!
I wonder if I'm worthy of your patience and your loyalty
So I decided to remind you you're a royalty
Been with me through the hustle and the struggles in between
So dedicated, this a ballad for a queen!
I knew at this very moment everything you wouldn't need to be
But I decided I should tell you what you mean to me
Think is believe in you while everything I dream to be
Guess I'm finally seeing everything you won't be...
I did it to you baby, you bring out the inner fiend in me
Remember you are royalty, everything a queen should be
You held a nigga down when everybody else was living me
Before it was a crime, I always knew you did believe in me
I lose a piece of Heaven if you ever thought of leaving me
Everybody acting, they just trying to make it afraid of me
I saw what that was meant to be, cause I know she dreamed of me
Fill my heart with passion cause everybody seemed to came to me
I decided I'm a writer, I'm just trying to get the message to her
Knowing that I can barely speak a word to express it to her
Hoping I'm a blessing to her, cause I know she's praying for it
Until that damn time, baby I'll be...
Chorus:
I wonder if I'm worthy of your patience and your loyalty
So I decided to remind you you're a royalty
Been with me through the hustle and the struggles in between
So dedicated, this a ballad for a queen!
I wonder if I'm worthy of your patience and your loyalty
So I decided to remind you you're a royalty
Been with me through the hustle and the struggles in between
So dedicated, this a ballad for a queen!
She find a space inside her heart and tried to move me in it
They say a house is not a home without a woman in it
The reason I am backing up, give some ...to test her up
You see the acting while to me she's showing character
...together, I'm just trying to make it... for her
She could treat I'm just hoping I am half for her
This is more than love, it is infatuation
The things they're speaking of, they show my maturation
This never worked out, no need for saturation
But she is not around, I hear our conversations
Niggas you should thought of me when it was annoying me
Held my.. together when she knew that it was a war in me
..I just wanna state the fact for 'em
More than a nigga, real baby you're my backbone!
Damn! I'm back home just to show my loyalty
Dollar ..queen, yeah, you're a loyalty!
Chorus:
I wonder if I'm worthy of your patience and your loyalty
So I decided to remind you you're a royalty
Been with me through the hustle and the struggles in between
So dedicated, this a ballad for a queen!
I wonder if I'm worthy of your patience and your loyalty
So I decided to remind you you're a royalty
Been with me through the hustle and the struggles in between
So dedicated, this a ballad for a queen!
