Slave Queen - Judy Mowatt

Slave queen, remove the shackle from your mind

Slave queens, remove the shackle and unwind

I too was blind, but now I see

I have relinquished slavery mentality

And now that it’s time, for all the queens to go home

You’re fashioning other nations;

you don’t seem to care

Your black lips red

Your eyes paint blue

You don’t know yourself

And that’s so true, oh

Slave queen, remove the shackle from your mind

Slave queens, remove the shackle and unwind

African queen, remove the shackle from your mind

War queens, remove the shackle and unwind

I know there’ll be a day, when you shall not flourish

For rearranging yourself, you shall be punished

Everyone is as proud of their identity

Consider your beautiful richness, your quality

Now repair yourself

(Repair yourself)

Take care of yourself

(Take care of yourself)

It’s Jah Jah life

(It's Jah Jah life)

You don’t own yourself

(No, no, no)

Slave queen, remove the shackle from your mind, aw yeah

I say all queens, remove the shackle and unwind

African queen, remove the shackle from your mind

War queens, remove the shackle and unwind

Slave queen, sound queen, blind queen, deaf queens, unwind

Captive queens, I tell you unwind

Yeah yeah

I tell you unwind

Release your mind, release your mind
