25 Lyrics From Queens That Will Make You Feel Like a Total Badass
ABC
The next best thing to actually listening to Butter Pecan (Nadine E. Velázquez), Da Thrill (Naturi Naughton), Professor Sex (Eve), and Xplicit Lyrics (Brandy) spit dope rhymes every week on Queens? Trying to recite them the next day. In addition to hearing classic ’90s hits like DMX’s “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” and “Feel So Good” by Mase, fans are treated to original songs in each episode. Because Queens stars music industry legends like Brandy and Eve, we expect nothing less from a musical drama series about a reunited ’90s all-female hip-hop group trying to reclaim their throne as the Nasty B*tches. Read on for just some of the many hardcore lyrics that’ll make you feel like a fifth member.

Naomi, aka Xplicit Lyrics
- “This is queens madness, rep my borough thorough as men / And when it comes to the paper, they wanna borrow my pen.”
- “Foes who underestimate, they bow to my toes / The crown is all mine, ain’t no thorns in my roses.”
- “All the secrets of the past, let ’em burn into ash / And every bad memory, I’ma turn into cash.”
- “This cinnamon skin goddess is all about her dividends / Try to keep me at rock bottom, I show you who Xplicit is / Viciousness.”
- “This is embarssin,’ mass murder, harassment, I’m the advocate / No one can fathom this nasty b*tch flow with the arrogance.”
- “Road to success all paved in rose gold / The cold world spins, I heat it up like a stove.”
ABC / Daniel Delgado
Jill, aka Da Thrill
- “Play your cards right and you can stay for dinner / Got confessions like Usher, turnin’ saints to sinners.”
- “Me and my girls, uh / Diamonds and pearls, uh / Don’t pull my hair unless you payin’ for the curls, uh.”
- “Gimmie a rule and I’ma break it like a bone / Knucklehead, thoroughbred, leader of the globe / Bag a rude boy and skinny dip in his cologne / The chocolate chick, lick me and leave me alone.”
- “I was born to the pulpit then became a prisoner / Now I break the shackles and become my own minister.”
- “In my church, sometimes vodka’s the holy water / And the offering plates got millions, I’m no longer preacher’s daughter”.
- “They wanted the monster home, I’m better off on my own / Jill will never bow down, too high up on the throne.”
ABC / Kim Simms
Briaana, aka Professor Sex
- “After everything I gave you, cooked for you, bathed you / I was every woman and I never woulda played you / But too bad, you lost the best you ever had / And I’m still fly, I bring the beach to the sand.”
- “Face so pretty baby, body full of curves / If he can’t handle the speed, I kick em to the curb.”
- “Just gimme mine quick ’cause these bitches gotta eat, yes / 109th to South road, shorty leave your sheets wet / Coulda went to Harvard so you still ‘gon gimmie respect.”
- “More money, more dudes, tryna holla at a scholar / Not a push over ever, I’m a rider for my dollars.”
- “My ring is on the nightstand while I’m at the night club / Just as a reminder of what a good wife was.”
- “All artists that gold ain’t tarnished, I’m polished and heavy / My knowledge is deadly, lyrically a problem, I’ll demolish your petty.”
ABC / Kim Simms
Valeria, aka Butter Pecan
- “I really, really work my body, sittin’ in my Bugatti / Chillin while I’m killin’, hibachi drippin’ Versace.”
- “I could do the shoppin’ myself with blank checks / You pull up with the Rolls-Royce, I pull up with the jet.”
- “I made it outta hell, I’m Cinderella for real / Now hold my umbrella, it’s rainin’ a 100 mil.”
- “I pull up with the princess cuts on the baguettes / I pull up with the Louis luggage, I made it a set.”
- “Ayo, I’m top model, please clear the runway / Dress so fly, you can call me Easter Sunday.”
- “Used to have no phone, ran the streets wild / Now I’m on G4s, pilot on speed dial.”
- “Get what I want, never think about the cost / Nasty b*tch, nah, you can call me the boss.”
