I wasn't raised in a castle

I grew up on the outskirts of town

No dresses with golden tassels

The rings on my hand are handed down

But I'm gonna find the one that needs me, sees me

And treats me like I'm already royalty

There ain't nothing priceless on my wrist

I might not fly private, but that don't mean I ain't a queen

Queens don't hate, queens don't fight

Queens don't stay unless their king treats her right, oh

Every jewel on my crown, you better believe I earned it

Won't keep people around that don't believe I deserve it

No, queens ain't fake

A queen's gonna rule just the way she was made, oh

I ain't 'bout to let nobody come and take me off this throne

Some girls might, but queens don't

No, I don't need the tallest tower

To prove to anyone I ain't weak

I turn my pain into power

Every tear's a diamond on my cheek

Queens don't hate, queens don't fight

Queens don't stay unless their king treats her right, oh

Every jewel on my crown, you better believe I earned it

Won't keep people around that don't believe I deserve it

No, queens ain't fake

A queen's gonna rule just the way she was made, oh

I ain't 'bout to let nobody come and take me off this throne

Some girls might, but queens don't

Queens don't break, they just get stronger

There ain't nothing they can't conquer

Queens don't hate, queens don't fight

Queens don't stay unless their king treats her right, oh

Every jewel on my crown, you better believe I earned it

Won't keep people around that don't believe I deserve it

No, queens ain't fake

A queen's gonna rule just the way she was made, oh

I ain't 'bout to let nobody come and take me off this throne

Some girls might, but queens don't
