Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I met this guy named Michael
Had a motorcycle
Thought that he was cool, he always quoted from the bible
But he had a baby mama
Who was a prima donna
Had to let him go 'cause I ain't really with the drama
[Verse 2]
I was feeling Keith with the gold teeth
But he was a thug and always runnin' from police
He was always trying to get me in the sheets
Wasn't good enough for me
[Verse 3]
I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
I need the best
Not the runner up
'Cause that's what I deserve
I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
Got to big up my chest
Even if it hurts
When a woman knows her worth
[Verse 4]
So I started seein' Jamie
He acted like a baby
Always playin' video games and bein' lazy
Smoked to much marijuana
Stuck in his pajamas
Always droppin' wisdom like he was the Dalai Lama
[Verse 5]
Was talkin' to Tim
He couldn't let me in
Said he got burned and now he doesn't trust women
I can't pay for somebody else's sin
Gotta find another man
[Verse 6]
I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
I need the best
Not the runner up
'Cause that's what I deserve
I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
Got to big up my chest
Even if it hurts
When a woman knows her worth
[Verse 7]
When a woman knows her worth
She waits for her someone she deserves
She's first
Even if it hurts
[Verse 8]
Won't settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
I need the best
Not the runner up
'Cause that's what I deserve
I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
Got to big up my chest
Even if it hurts
When a woman knows her worth
[Verse 9]
I don't want to settle for less
'Cause I'm an empress
I need the best
Not the runner up
'Cause that's what I deserve
I don't want to settle for less
When I'm an empress
Got to big up my chest
Even if it hurts
When a woman knows her worth
