about

From the album "Thoughtful King"

lyrics

1st Verse
I was in Canne doin my 1 2
Finishin' business with this rap music I do
I had on slacks with the hublot covered up
Headed to dinner rolled the sleeves on button up
Feelin good a long way from the hood
I made reservations as a gentleman should
As I awaited my table
This Habesha queen walked passed me and fulfilled my dreams, ugh
Her skin was bronze her eyes was oval
Her hair was black her smile was hopeful
Her neck was regal she spoke to her people
in such a low tone its like she recited a poem
The most beautiful woman I ever seen in my life
No woman compared I'll leave'um all tonight
As I approached her with the humblest
Hope I don't fumble it
Hello me Ms. I couldn't help but notice this

Chorus
I'm in utopia, a Ethiopian named Ethiopia
How sweet does it get
She spoke English and Amharic
Instantly I lost my ego as a artist and for me that's the hardest

2nd Verse
I was captivated so much I hesitated
A breath of fresh air, I felt recuscitated
My spirits elevated
My heart generated a certain energy, I bet you love detonated
Oh i get it now, let the healing start
She had her shemma cloth draped around her shoulder part
Beautiful, Stunning, Gorgeous,
And any other mature word that separates a woman from a girl I don't even know her name and she changed my world

Chorus
I'm in utopia, a Ethiopian named Ethiopia
How sweet does it get
She spoke English and Amharic
Instantly I lost my ego as a artist and for me that's the hardest

Chant
African Queen
[Repeat]



Bridge
So Fortunate
Sittin here staring at your beauty
So immaculate
Girl I'm trynna take my time to paint a picture baby
Sing a song baby
And get to know you baby
Oh girl I'm trynna take my time to get to know all of you
Get to know all of you
Get to know all of you
Oh girl I'm trynna take my time
