Be the queen, be the queen, be the queen
Be the queen, be the queen, be the queen
In the crown, in the-
Be the queen, be the queen, be the queen
Be the queen, be the queen, be the queen
I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me thirty days
But I must have had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace
I guess I'll keep on livin'
Even if this loves to die for
'Cause your bags are packed, and I ain't cryin'
And you're walking out and I'm not trying
To change your mind 'cause I was born to be
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who ought a give up
But she's just too hard-headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor
♪
I don't believe in self-pity
It only brings you down
May be the queen of broken hearts
But I don't hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changing fast
Who I am is who I want to be
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who ought to give up
But she's just too hard-headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and a heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

Oh, a single mom who works two jobs (be the queen in the crown)
(Be the queen, be the queen, be the queen)
(Be the queen, be the queen, be the queen)
I'm a survivor
But I must have had my mamas will
And God's amazing grace (I'm a survivor)
