Naw, I'm not revisiting the BEEF episode with Trina, Jacki-O and Khia. Jill Scott was 120% right when stating that "Queens shouldn't swing" and I believe we're better than neo-blaxploitation... although iLOVE Afro halos :)

For all my sisters even in absence and silence, this one was inspired by the humble yet immense power of the Queen of Sheba. Sometimes associated with Makeda, Candace and lesser known names, the biblical "Queen of the South" taught the wisest man in the land a little something! As GFK would say, judge wise...

lyrics

You don't know my story
Hardly know my name
Caught you playing yourself
from my own side of the game
But I'm
(not knocking 'cause if I was rockin'
with one who tried stoppin' the flow
of Wisdom, I might do it too)

See, I don't know your problem
Don't live like you do
Legacies ain't toys
Chile, please...
No time to play with you
So just
(keep on talkin'
and I'll keep on walkin'
to what is important
You know, what really matters to me)

I heard about a great man
Gave the king a quiz
Brought my jewels, my spice of Life
with Truth not just a kiss
and he
(put more jewels on me,
his heart - it beat for me,
expanded my faith fully,
began our family)
and I'm warning you...

Oh, I'm the Queen of the South
Keep my name out yo' mouf
I'm the Queen of the South
Keep my name out yo' mouf
Come on
Oh, I'm the Queen of the South
Keep my name out yo' mouf
I'm the Queen of the South
Keep my name out yo' mouf
Let('s)go
