[ Featuring Shakura Dickson, Alice in Wonderland Cast ]
It takes time
To learn every rule and every little move
See what's mine
I took every rook and made them feel a fool!
Don't be shy
You could be the queen I see inside of you
Someday soon...
What's it gonna be, what's it gonna be, Alice?
Since you gotta be, whatcha wanna be, Alice?
You could be queen, you could be a queen, Alice
You could be free, you could be a queen!
So you think you want to be a queen
Like ruling politics and power can be found with ease
Not to be mean
But there's a lot of girls with dreams
Who call it quits after an hour and run out of steam
You gotta
Work the system, play within it
Work the system, play within it
Words of wisdom, work within em'
Wait to finish,
Don't diminish,
Play to win it.
You need a whole lot of nerve
The cunning to swerve
To wait for your turn
To take what you earn
Don't break and don't burn
The bridge that I've built-
Walk with discernment
You gotta earn this
But it's worth it
A firm fist will just make them nervous
Say it's your purpose - you're "there to serve,"
Then take the first place cause they don't deserve it!
You gotta be cool, you gotta be cool, unh
That's how a queen rules,
Those are the queen's rules.
So,
What's it gonna be, what's it gonna be Alice?
Since you gotta be, whatcha wanna be Alice?
Sing!
You could be queen, you could be a queen, Alice
You could be free, you could be a queen, Alice!
There are obstacles along the way
There isn't any time for questions so just play the game
You're a pawn in the action so act like an actor
Learn to subtract and to add every adverb
Know the rhythm, stay within it
And always keep your eye right on the prize
It's wise
Forget slow and steady, get ready, get faster!
Let em' come last then look back, hide your laughter
I went from rags to royalty
I had the love and loyalty
I had the means to spoil me
Nobody had control of me
You seem like you've got potential
This game is mental
Take out a pencil
Write down the rules and show all fools
You know what to do
Ahhh
So, Alice, still interested?
Uh, yeah! One question: when you say all my time-
Oh! No time for questions, Alice. We're just doing answers now!
So you think you want to be a queen?
Yes I really i want to be a queen
Yes I really want to be a queen
They say it's hard to wear a crown
They want to keep us on the ground
Just wait and play the right card
And you'll travel far
It isn't that hard
They're gonna try to lie to you
They say this life is hard to do
Let me describe a harder truth;
I see the queen inside of you!
What's it gonna be, what's it gonna be Alice?
Since you gotta be, whatcha wanna be Alice?
You could be queen, you could be a queen, Alice
You could be free, you could be a queen, Alice!
What's it gonna be, what's it gonna be?
Alice
Maybe I could be, maybe I could be
Alice
Yes I wanna be , yes I wanna be--
Alice
I could be a queen!
You could be a queen, Alice!
