Bow Down

Stronghold 1989 (Greensboro)




Bow down niggas, cower in fear,
For I am the queen, the one you should revere.
My words will cut, my gaze will sting,
I am the one who rules, the one who reigns.
You think you can handle me, with your fragile ego,
But I am the storm, the one you cannot control.
I'll tear apart your false bravado,
And leave you trembling, your pride in shambles.
You try to step up, to take on my crown,
But I am the fire, you are merely a clown.
Your masculinity, a cheap disguise,
I see right through it, the lies in your eyes.
Bow down niggas, to my unapologetic stance,
For I am the woman who will make you dance.
You think you can conquer, you think you can win,
But I am the goddess, the one who will always win.
You try to dominate, to silence my voice,
But I am the thunder, the one who makes the noise.
I'll shake your foundations, break down your walls,
For I am the one who stands tall.
So go ahead, try to break me down,
But I am the fortress, the one who wears the crown.
I'll rise from the ashes, stronger and bold,
For I am the queen, the one who cannot be controlled.
Bow down niggas, to my fierce femininity,
For I am the one who holds the key.
I'll challenge your notions, your toxic ways,
For I am the woman who will always blaze.
So dare not try to tame or cage,
For I am the wildfire, the untamed rage.
Bow down niggas, to this unbreakable force,
For I am the queen, the one you can't ignore.
