lyrics

You beat me down in history
With your icons, expensive buys
You may paint me on the very concrete
And still with class, I’ll smize

Just like Mother Earth that is hidden within the beauty of my hide
With the essence of my sisters whom
Fell before me
And also with their power behind me
And still I smize

Will your “Art Pop” appease you?
Will it keep you musing with “Glee”
Cause you act like you have little interest
In my ingenuity
And still I smize

You may read me with your guns
You may shade me with your guise
You may erase me with your blinking
Temperament
But even in ghost
I’ll smize

Will my transparency give you refuse?
Will it give you your surmise?
Cause it’s never been a mystery
How much you’ve surreptitiously terrorized
And still I smize.

Just like the Queens before
I smize
Just like the Queens that “Pose” and breathe
I smize
Just like the Queens that always set the trend
I smize
I smize
I smize
I smize.
