Lord knows, it just ain't fair

Give me some volume, give me some volume

You know, when you hear the word queen

You automatically think of a woman gettin' everything she wants

But its not like that at all

See, bein' a ruler means sacrifice

Most of the time, you get less then what you give

So every woman and mother in the world is a queen

Because she sacrificed so much

Gets so lonely sometimes, sometimes I gotta clear my mind

Can't stop walkin' on water, feels like I'm dealin' at the alter

Gets so heavy sometimes, carryin' this weight of mine

Looks like the seas are partin', so I might as well start walkin'

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, they just don't know, know, know

How hard I had to go, go, go to get through, to get through

They just don't know, know, know, know, know, know, know

How many times I lost just so I could win

They just don't know, know, know, know, oh, no, no

How many times I've died just to live again, oh yeah

When life is comin' at me quick, I had to tuck in my emotions

I know they watchin' God, I made it look good, I was chosen

Go through hell to get to heaven, build a bridge and get over

My snap-back's real, still thick in these jeans

I ain't missin' no meals

Oh, Lord, Lord, Lord, they just don't know, know, know

How hard I had to go, go, go to get through, to get through

They just don't know, know, know, know, know, know, know

How many times I lost just so I could win

They just don't know, know, know, know, oh, no, no

How many times I've died just to live again

They just don't know, know, know, know, know, know, know

How many times I lost just so I could win

They just don't know, know, know, know, oh, no, no

How many times I've died just to live again, oh yeah
