[Verse 2]
Bm
Give me the microphone and check it
Should be no one neglected
Should be no disrespectin' if someone is in your presence
Don't accept it
N.C.
A queen is a queen of all things
Respected by all means, uplifted by all kings, na' mean?
Bm
If he don't show you love then he's less than
Never stress it, tell that brother get to steppin'
Bm
The message is if he's real enough to build you up
Then he should really love, and try to build you up, sho' 'nough
G
Love yourself, hug yourself
Em
And never put nobody else above yourself
F#m
If you a queen, off top, you should know that there
Em                                   F#m
Speak life into yourself, you should show that there
                    G
Hold yourself to a standard, we know that's real
      Em
Show respect, well-mannered, and own that care
           F#m
Bein' a queen really means you gotta show yourself love
    Em
You gotta be strong enough to build yourself up
