Lyrics

Hats off to Viola Davis
This queen done been through everything under the sun
& nothing stopped her
She still did what she came her to do
Shoutout to Viola Davis
Born 1965 on a Carolina plantation
Moved to Central Falls, Rhode Island and then it got crazy
Lived in poverty and dysfunction she was just a baby
That ain’t stop nothing got on her hustle and she still made it
Lighting up them stages
One Oscar, four nominations
God amazing
It’s safe to say this black queen can’t be destroyed
Ask her what she living for she gon’ tell you peace and joy
Aye Viola
I seen your special with Oprah
& I had to take some time out my day to give you your roses
I had some hard times in life
These are facts
But my family wasn’t poor and we wasn’t sleeping with rats
I’m sorry you went through that
But it made you who you are
Ain’t it crazy how we activate our greatness through our scars
Went from not having no heat in the house to Julie Arts
As a kid you starved
Now you got a Hollywood Star
One of the most influential people in the world
Most awarded African-American in the history of awards
They teased and called you ugly you was just a little girl
But you beautiful queen and so is your little girl
The Woman King
You are living proof that we can do anything
We put our minds to
I admire you
Congrats on your book “Finding Me”
I’m praying that this message finds you
Shoutout to Viola Davis
Born 1965 on a Carolina plantation
Moved to Central Falls, Rhode Island and then it got crazy
Lived in poverty and dysfunction she was just a baby
That ain’t stop nothing got on her hustle and she still made it
Lighting up them stages
One Oscar, four nominations
God amazing
It’s safe to say this black queen can’t be destroyed
Ask her what she living for she gon’ tell you peace and joy
I’m not perfect
Sometimes I don’t feel pretty
Sometimes I don’t want to slay dragon
Sometime the dragon I’m slaying is myself
But I’m worth it
I don’t have to barter for my worth
I don’t have to pay someone for it
I came out of my mom’s wound worthy
