A narrator overcomes self-doubt, then learns that rising to queen status means opening doors and carrying responsibility for others.
Yeah. No stress
Small small? No. We go deep. Listen
Wahala dey left and right, every road get a wall
But inside my head, one voice say I go fall
I stand like a rock while the water rush past
But the face in the river keep reflecting my past
Wahala dey left and right, every light burning low
I was blaming the world for the places I no go
Then I looked in the glass, saw the fear in my eyes
If the man there must fall, then the queen there must rise
Check the mindset, I detach from the outcome
Every loss was a lesson, see the man I become
I move with intention, disciplined and stoic
They panic in the storm, but my stillness is heroic
That voice say I no ready, say the road go crash
Na my old self talking, so I leave am in the past
I leave behind the fear, I leave behind the dust
I don't need their faith, but I must earn my trust
Na who be the boss Na me, Na me
Who carry the sauce Na me, Na me
I am the shhh—, I am the Vibe
Leader of the pack, queen of the Tribe
I tell you, na me Na me, Na me
Top of the tree Na me, Na me
I walk inside, the energy shift
I am the curse and I am the gift Na me
I touched the ceiling, then I raised it some more
I got the money, now the whole world at my door
Everybody need a hand, everybody need a road
Funny how the crown shine bright but it carry heavy load
I touched the ceiling, saw the city down below
All the hands that held me up, I could finally see them show
E no be enough to climb and leave my people on the floor
If the crown no open doors, then wetin be the crown for?
Ambition was the fuel, put the petrol in the tank
Now the names that came before me stand beside me in the rank
I elevated, graduated, never self-created
Every scar upon the throne is a debt that must be paid
See the view from the top? The air is getting thin
Everybody praise the crown, nobody ask about the skin
I wanted all the power, now I understand the why:
A queen no spread her wings just to be the only one to fly
They ask me why I run when I already won
I tell them
The crown is not the gold
The crown is everyone
And if I never carry them
Then I never know the sun
I searched for the enemy
Nobody else
The last man standing
Was the man in myself
Wait for it. Wait for it. Queen STATUS
Look at the chair, I built it from the ground
Look at the gold, every scar became the crown
I no dey run, I no dey hide, I face it all
When the ones behind me stumble, I become the wall
Look at the chair, but the chair no make the man
Look at the crown, it is a promise, not a brand
If the weight become too heavy, if the whole kingdom call
Na me choose the duty, so na me go carry all
Uno. Number one—but I know where I came from
I carry my city, every daughter, every son
My reflection was the rival, self-command became the sword
I cut through every lie and let the work become the word
It had to be me—I had something left to prove
Not to everybody else, to the boy I had to lose
Stand tall and proper when the Queen come around
Not because I need you lower—I want all of us unbound
Who carried all the doubt? Na me
Who nearly blocked the route? Na me
Who finally broke us out? Na me
If the kingdom need a voice, let it come out of my mouth
Na who be the boss Na me, Na me
Who carry the sauce Na me, Na me
I am the shhh—, I am the Vibe
Leader of the pack, Queen of the Tribe
I tell you, na me Na me, Na me
Top of the tree Na me, Na me
I walk inside, the energy shift
I am the curse and I am the gift Na me
I was the lock. I became the key
Who carries the crown?
Na me
Yeah
