Crowned in Flame

I’m a queen, I’m a diva,

every step I own,

Bad and bold, every move,

I set the tone.

I don’t need your love,

I know I’m on fire,

I rise above, I’m my own desire.

Yes, I get down,

but I don’t stay low,

I keep moving forward,

everywhere I go. In class,

yeah, sometimes I miss,

But it’s my life,

I do what I wish.

I love who I am,

I’m writing my fate,

No one decides it—I make my way.

(yeah, my way,

uh-huh) They judge my color,

they don’t know my name,

But I keep shining,

I don’t play their game.

I’m a Black queen,

I know what I own,

My life, my choice—I stand on my own.

My afro’s my crown,

I wear it with pride,

My skin shines bright,

I never hide. My face,

my nose, my eyes,

my lips, Confidence strong—I was made for this.

(I was made for this!) I am the spark,

I am the light,

I rise like a dream,

I shine so bright.

Every move I make,

every dream I see,

I’m a young queen,

I’m becoming me. I stand with power,

I know who I am,

I’m a teen diva—I take my stand.

I walk with power,

I stand in my light,

I know who I am,

and I shine so bright.

This is my story,

this is my song,

I’ve been that girl all along.

I am the light,

I am the way,

I am the strength that leads your day.

I am the dream you long to see,

I am the diva—I am all I can be.
