THE MUSIC FOR THIS ONE... I CHOSE THIS SONG CAUSE OF ITS MEANING...

Did I ever tell you why I view you the way that I do?
See when I was a little boy I saw the women around me and they carried themselves as queens.
Through all the bullshit they struggled to feed us and clothe us, let us attain the best education.
Back then most of us were only a generation or two removed from slavery and we remembered the pain cause it was told to us in church and at home.
A queen showed me Africa on a map... A queen told me my first story of slavery... a queen birthed me and raised me from a baby.
In these modern times so many argue over the word queen, saying its has no meaning but when they showed me pictures of queens in books and they were white I knew that was not right cause all the queens I knew were black.
In these modern times we try to judge queens by what they do... how they live their lives as we fall behind at an alarming rate... All the while forgetting that they are our healing.
No matter the form.
When I say queen or empress to you I am paying you the highest honor that I can bestow through words to you.
I view you the wayI do cause I know that when the Prototypical Adam opened his Prototypical eyes he looked into your Prototypical face and sighed.
When Solomon saw your face he fell enthralled into your depths.
When Isa (Jesus) opened his newly formed eyes he looked into yours.
I view you the way I do cause I know these things to be true.
